Build your opening route

Race sets the native starting area. Class sets the available pairings and the guide advice. Choose either one first.

The character matcher is unavailable. Every starting map, handoff, class unlock, and dungeon board remains available below.

Keep every lesson available. A selected character highlights the lessons that match its level and current map risks.

  1. Levels 1–9

    Hardcore Habits That Protect the Character

    Eat, bandage, clear bags, read the terrain, and leave after a warning. These habits keep the route controlled.

    Open lesson
  2. Routes with cave risk

    Caves, Buildings, and Elevators

    Caves, ships, towers, mines, and lifts restrict the exit and turn a simple fight into a route problem.

    Open lesson
  3. Levels 10–19

    Consumables to Carry Before the Pull

    Carry healing, escape, and protection consumables before a route needs them.

    Open lesson
  4. Routes with elite, escort, or event risk

    Grouping, Layering, and Hardcore Etiquette

    A good group agrees on a reset call, pull pace, and patrol information before an invite changes the layer.

    Open lesson
  5. Routes with dense camp, patrol, respawn, runners, or ambush risk

    Call the Reset Early

    When a pull widens, create space, use the tool that buys it, and take the exit.

    Open lesson
  6. Level 20+ or routes with travel risk

    Plan Hearth and Logout Safely

    Auto-run, lifts, docks, weak bags, and unsafe AFKs can end a run without a hostile nameplate.

Class quests that change the kit

Every Classic class has an unlock atlas with prerequisites, travel risks, failure states, and safe exits.

All class quest atlases
Level 10 Bear Form

Druid class quests

Start with the Bear Form chain, keep the faction route explicit, and clear the summon area before spending the dust.

 Level 10 pet training

Hunter class quests

Complete the three local practice tames, finish the capital-city training, and never begin a tame channel with a second body in the lane.

 Level 38+ group route

Mage class quests

Treat Mage's Wand as a grouped level-38 route: clear Scarlet Monastery Library, finish the parallel reagent branch, and keep Frost Nova and Blink for the exit.

 Level 24+ group route

Paladin class quests

Route Verigan's Fist as grouped dungeon and elite-area work. Leave the Daphne defense or reset a component pull when it spends a major cooldown early.

 Level 10 racial rite

Priest class quests

Finish the level-10 racial rite before leaving the trainer route. Human and Dwarf Priests share Desperate Prayer. The other races receive their own spell.

 Level 20 poison route

Rogue class quests

Raise Lockpicking before the poison chain, delay the tower until the class has a fuller escape kit, and leave when the scripted route stops behaving.

 Level 10 Fire Totem

Shaman class quests

Take the walking path to Telf Joolam, farm the reagent camps from their open edges, and reach full health before using Fire Sapta.

 Level 10 Voidwalker

Warlock class quests

Unlock the Voidwalker at 10, but match the safety call to the route: Undercity is direct, Brackwell needs help, and Skull Rock waits for a group.

 Level 30 stance, near 40 weapon

Warrior class quests

Unlock Berserker Stance at 30, then return near 40 with a level-appropriate group for Cyclonian and the Whirlwind weapon. Never start either event without the exit plan ready.
