The Start

Starting Area

Captain Carroc

Your new character starts in a room on a ship, following the navigation will lead you out of the portal.

Once outside, you will see a Wounded Swordsman with a quest icon over his head.

He tells you to find the captain without him.

Leave through the bottom portal to leave the ship, where you will find Captain Carocc, also with a quest icon above his head.

Talk to him and he will tell you about a ship that will take you to Izlude, but first he gives you a quest to kill Porings to get lumber for the ship repairs. The lumber ends up in your inventory automatically after you kill a Poring.

Talk to Lumin to the left of him to get more information; he also tells you to walk into the portal in the south west to get off the island.

Find the sailor in the south west and talk to him, he gives you exp and 5 Magnifier. After that, you can leave through the portal to get to Izlude.
