Creating Your First Character
After you log into the game, you will be able to create your first hero! You will be given options to choose name, gender, hairstyle, facial expression, starting attire, and avatar image.

Afterward, you will be teleported to Da Li. There you can talk to Master Zhang(160,157) to start your first quest called "First Weapon".

Quests
You’ll notice that when you accept the quest, your quest log which is located in the bottom right corner will begin to flash. Click on it to see the quest information. For this particular quest, you’re supposed to go to Warrior Po (217,134) to select a weapon. You can find him either by clicking on the coordinates in blue in the Quest window or by opening the Path Finding window (click the Path Finding button at the bottom of the minimap), selecting his name, and clicking Go. Either way, your character will automatically run to find Warrior Po.

Your next quest will be assigned by Warrior Po (217,134), it will be labeled “Foods Delivery.” He needs you to deliver kitchenware to Soaring Du (110,159). If you access your inventory (ALT-I or using the Inventory button in the lower right corner) you’ll notice that you have a Quest items tab. If you look in that section you’ll see the kitchenware that Warrior Po (217,134) gave you.

You should only have “Cooking” available, so click the “Make” button to view the list of food you are able to prepare. For most recipes, there are set ingredients that are required in order for you to make them. In this case, the steamed bread necessary for the quest doesn’t require any ingredients. Create the bread to complete the quest!

Your next quest is assigned by Soaring Du(110,159), and it’s called “Medicine.” He wants you to go talk to Pharmacist Sanchi Lu(103,132). The pharmacist will give you a healing item when you talk to him. You can return to the pharmacist whenever you need to purchase healing aids.

If you press your TAB key, you will be given a map of your current area. You can left-click the western area of Da Li on the TAB map to make your way towards the Wild Plains. You’ll also notice that if you’re not in the same zone as your quest objective, you do not have the ability to use the path finding function. Once you arrive in Wild Plains, you will notice the Flatland White Apes are in your immediate vicinity. Make sure your weapon is equipped and when you’re ready, left-click on the enemy you’d like to attack.

Now that your pet has been summoned, you’ll notice that whenever you attack an enemy, your pet will attack it as well. Your pet’s health and experience are displayed under your own, so make sure you keep close watch on its health.

When you’ve defeated enough enemies to get the pet to level 2, return to Lily White(265,129). She will send you to Master Zhao(160,157) so that you can receive yet another recommendation notice.

Master Zhao(160,157) will give you a quest that is similar to your first kill quest, except this one sends you to the east, it’s called “Kill More.” You will need to travel east of Da Li to Mt. Infinity to kill 8 Blue Spiders. Once you’ve slain 8 spiders, return to Master Zhao(160,157) for your reward and next quest.

Find Lily White(265,129) again and she will tell you how to capture a pet for yourself. After you read her instructions and accept her quest, proceed to Serious Wong(275,49) who will give you entry into the back garden so that you can capture a pet of your own.
