If you’re one of the thousands of players just starting out the adventure in the world of Runes of Magic, a simple guide on leveling could mean deducting a couple of hours of aimless wandering. A huge chunk of a MMORPG player’s game is made up of hours upon hours of grinding. One of the major milestones in the game is when a player reaches level 10. A cool feature in the game is the ability to switch characters. But this could only be done when a player reaches level 10 and the new class becomes available.

There are two options available after you create a character, you could immediately start the game or play the tutorial mode. If you’re new to the game it would be a good idea to get your feet wet first before totally immersing yourself in the game. One of the reasons why players seem to be stumbling when they start out during the early part of any game is when they decide to go gung ho and start the adventure on their own.

Players who decide to skip the tutorial don’t only miss simple salient points in the game but miss out on some items too. Players who opt for the tutorial receive the “Roping’s Blessing” item which gives a one day increase to all attributes. This is item is given by Roping, the first NPC a player meets during tutorial mode. You are immediately sent on a simple quest to kill some troublesome spiders.

Players need not worry about getting licked by the spiders, along with the quest; Roping will be sending some creatures to aid you along the way. It is also here where you encounter your first boss, Raven the king spider.

After finishing this task, go back to Roping and she will award you with the Roping’s Blessing item. Along with the special item, she will also be giving you a Supply kit and horse which could help you as you set out for Pioneer’s colony.

Pioneer Colony

After setting forth from the tutorial mode, players finally reach the outskirts of Pioneer Colony. Look for Laif Cindai, you will be receiving a quest. You will then be asked to proceed to Leighton at Pioneer Colony. Report to him and you will be instantly rewarded Level 2 status.

A series of quests is given which awards you items that will be useful in equipping you on future adventures. Return to Leighton and he will give you a simple quest asking you to talk to the merchants. Locate the merchants and talk to them, this doesn’t require a lot of searching as the merchants are locate beside each other. After talking to the merchants report to Leighton and receive your first fighting quest.

This quest from Leighton will require you fight some of the fungi roaming around the colony’s outskirts. Talk to Leighton once you’re finished collecting the required mushroom items. A quick glance on your level meter would show you’ve reached a healthy level 3.

Leighton then points you to Port, where he teaches you the finer points of using the runes which you gather as you play. Go to your item bag and open the Pioneer Gift to reveal a slotted belt, potions and an earring that increases defense points. Port will also be giving you an endurance rune and simple cloth armor. Report to Port and you will then be awarded with more experience points.
