First steps
If you already own a horse (bought or from a code), do not use it right away. Running and dashing is what levels agility and stamina — and agility also raises the attack speed of every weapon.
An order that works
- Do Basic Training near the Town of Beginnings teleport (150 XP and 500 Col).
- Buy the Starter Longsword for 10 Col and kill Frenzy Boars until level 5.
- Head to Horunka and switch to iron gear.
- Only then think about a mount: a horse is convenience, and the agility you skip early hurts later.
Common mistakes
- Training strength with a slow weapon: XP comes per hit, so fast weapons level faster.
- Buying heavy armor early: the speed penalty hurts dodging.
- Entering a mini boss alone at level 15.
