"Rune Slayer: A Beginner's Guide"

Mar 29,25(7 months ago)

After two failed launches and months of anticipation, *Rune Slayer* has finally arrived, and it's nothing short of spectacular. Whether you're new to MMORPGs or a seasoned veteran, diving into *Rune Slayer* can be a thrilling yet daunting experience. Fear not, as we've crafted a comprehensive guide to help you navigate your journey in this captivating world.

Rune Slayer Beginner Tips

Here are some essential tips we wish we had known from the start to make your initial steps in *Rune Slayer* smoother and more enjoyable.

Do Not Randomly Attack Other Players

When we first heard about *Rune Slayer*'s full-loot PvP system, we braced ourselves for chaos. However, the reality is more forgiving. **When you die in *Rune Slayer*, you don't lose anything**, even if it's at the hands of another player. You simply respawn and continue your adventure.

However, there's a catch: **attacking other players earns you a bounty**. The more players you kill, the higher your bounty grows, and the more items you'll drop upon death. So, the only way to experience full-loot PvP is by initiating attacks and then getting defeated. Our advice? **Avoid attacking other players** unless you have a solid reason or a group to back you up.

Craft Bags ASAP

You'll quickly realize that both your **bank space and inventory are limited**. With only 50 slots, your inventory can fill up fast. To manage this, **craft bags** as soon as possible. You can equip up to two bags, starting with the **Cotton Bag**.

To craft a Cotton Bag, gather **Cotton from north of Wayshire and Flax from the south**. Be cautious in the south due to dangerous mobs. Each Cotton Bag adds 10 extra slots, so prioritize crafting these early on.

Your Pets Don’t Actually Die

There's a common misconception that your tamed pets die when their health reaches zero. In reality, **when your pet 'dies', it can't be summoned for 5 minutes**. You can check this cooldown by holding **T**. Once the cooldown is over, hold **T** again to summon your pet back.

Bonus Tip: To **quickly heal your pet**, store and unstore it at the stable master. You have one free slot, so make use of it.

Grab All the Quests (Yes, All of Them)

*Rune Slayer* is packed with quests, many of which are not repeatable and can be easily forgotten. Most quests follow the familiar "Kill 10 X" format seen in many MMORPGs.

To manage this, **accept every quest you encounter**, including those from the Job board. Completing multiple quests simultaneously is more efficient than tackling them one by one. You might even find yourself completing several quests at once without realizing it.

Craft Everything at Least Once (Even Things You Don’t Need)

While you should prioritize crafting what you need, don't hesitate to use **spare materials** to craft items you might not immediately require. **Crafting items for the first time often unlocks new, more powerful crafts**. For instance, smelting your first Iron Ore can unlock a range of new Iron Armor recipes. So, be generous with your materials and experiment with crafting.

Join a Guild

*Rune Slayer* is designed to be solo-friendly, but as you progress, you'll encounter **tougher enemies** that are best tackled in groups. Joining a **guild** is the easiest way to find teammates for these challenges.

Use the general chat to express your interest in joining a guild, or visit the official *Rune Slayer* Discord server to find a suitable group. Having a guild can significantly enhance your gaming experience.

And that's all there is to it. Enjoy your journey in *Rune Slayer*, and if you haven't already, check out the *Rune Slayer* Trello and Discord for more tips and community engagement.
