Learning the Ropes

Learning the Ropes is the quest players complete when creating and learning how to use their character. It is a tutorial quest, and replaced Tutorial Island on 14 July, 2008.

Creating your Character
Before you get started, you must create your character. You must fill in a few things: Mouse, Gender, Head, and Body options. The Mouse menu is to choose how many mouse buttons you have: one or two. The Gender menu lets you decide your character's gender (male or female). The Head menu lets you decide what your character's hair, skin, and beard will look like. The Body menu lets the player decide what the avatar's clothing and body will look like. The Creating your Character part of the tutorial reminds you that all settings put in can always be changed at a later date.

Starting the quest
After you customize your character, you must speak to Sir Vant, a White Knight. He will tell you that he is there to fight a large, dangerous, three-headed dragon. A cutscene will follow, with Sir Vant attempting to defeat the dragon. While he is fighting, he will warn you that a goblin had come down from the village to steal money. After you kill the goblin and pick up its drops (which cannot hurt you because it is stunned), Sir Vant Will ask you to get him some supplies.
