Game Help: Goals
Your journey through Mystavaria is yours to shape. There is no fixed path,
no singular objective, only possibilities waiting to be explored. After
completing the tutorial, you may find yourself wondering what to pursue next.
This guide offers a wide range of ideas to help you settle into the world,
whether your ambitions lie in mastering a profession, exploring new lands,
discovering hidden quests, or simply finding your place amongst its people.
1. Choose Your Profession
Within Mystavaria, your profession defines your path and influences the skills
you will develop. Consider your strengths, desires, and the challenges you wish
to face as you select a profession that aligns with your vision of the future.
Should your journey lead you in a new direction, know that your profession is
not a choice you must live with forever. You may QUIT PROFESSION at any time,
renouncing the ability to use any major skills you have learned. You will be
refunded your major skill points and a portion of lessons, then free to CHOOSE
and pursue another.
2. Select Skills
The choice of skills is a deeply personal one, tied to your profession and
the role you wish to play in this world. Whether you favour the blade, the
arcane arts, or the crafting of fine goods, the selection of skills will
carve your way.
You are not limited to your initial skill choices; you can FORGET skills that
no longer interest you, then REQUEST and LEARN new ones.
3. Obtain Citizenship (optional)
The cities and settlements of Mystavaria are diverse, each offering their own
unique blend of culture, resources, and opportunities. Citizenship is not
required and one may choose to wander as a nomad, free from the ties of any
city. It is also possible to gain citizenship in smaller settlements by
earning the friendship of their inhabitants. Even a forest may embrace you as
one of its own, should you prove worthy.
If you need a reminder on how to join a city or request citizenship, speak to
Meili in The Marvelous Treehouse of Arborvella.
4. Join a Guild (optional)
Guilds form the cornerstone of community and purpose within Mystavaria. They
offer camaraderie, resources, and the honing of skills, whether one's
inclinations lean toward the scholarly, the martial, or the artisanal. While
joining a guild is not necessary for progression, it remains a valuable
resource for those seeking guidance and fellowship.
5. Learn the Lay of the Land
A wise adventurer takes time to learn the landscape, studying maps, noting
landmarks, and seeking the guidance of locals. The roads and wilds of
Mystavaria are filled with both beauty and danger, and only those with a
keen sense of direction will thrive.
If you opted to join a city, it would be worthwhile to learn how to navigate
the streets of your home. While you are at the NEWBLOOD standing, you will
be able to use the Chamber of Portals in Arborvella to quickly access the
cities of Meliura and Praestantia.
If you joined a guild, you would be wise to learn how to walk from your home
city, or Arborvella, to your guild.
For those interested in questing, you should explore the platforms and greet
the inhabitants of Arborvella. Following that, Privia will be your next best
place to explore.
Those interested in slaying the monsters of the world may wish to seek out
the Vrekkenwood Forest and try your hand at slaying the Hylokin.
6. Gather Essential Equipment
Before venturing into the unknown, it is imperative to be well-equipped. The
acquisition of weapons appropriate to your skills or profession, reliable
armour, potions, herbs (and pipes for smoking them), clothing, and containers
for holding liquids is essential.
7. Engage with the Inhabitants
The people of Mystavaria, though they may seem ordinary at first glance, are
repositories of knowledge and lore. Remember to GREET the inhabitants and use
ASK to inquire about specific keywords. They may offer quests or ask for
favours, which can reward gold, experience, and friendship.
8. Discover Quests
Quests are the threads that weave the narrative of an adventurer's life.
Some may be as simple as aiding a villager, while others may lead to epic
undertakings that alter the course of Mystavaria itself. It is possible to
ASK any NPCs about quests to see if they have tasks to offer, which can
reward gold, experience, and friendship.
9. Earn Money
Gold is the lifeblood of commerce in Mystavaria. It can be earned through
completing quests, trading goods, or offering services to others.
10. Explore
The true spirit of adventure lies in exploration. The lands of Mystavaria are
filled with secrets, and those who dare to venture off the well-trodden paths
may discover hidden wonders that others have overlooked. This goes beyond
mere navigation, as exploration is about uncovering the unknown and
interacting with the world in unexpected ways.
11. Experiment
As one grows in experience, new skills and abilities will be unlocked. While
some may be tempted to advance quickly, the true master takes their time to
thoroughly learn each ability before progressing further. Testing these
abilities with a citymate, guildmate, or other ally is often a
fruitful endeavour.
12. Gather & Craft
The resources of Mystavaria are plentiful for those who know where to look.
Learning to gather herbs, minerals, and other materials and using them for
crafting can yield powerful items and tools that aid in your journey.
13. Socialise
The road is long, and the journey is made richer by the company of others.
Utilise EMOTES to express yourself, SAY and TELL to communicate with fellow
travellers, and declare friends and enemies to define your social circle.
Always remember, the journey is yours to shape. These guidelines are mere
suggestions, a starting point on your path. Progression in Mystavaria does
not have to be linear, and you should feel empowered to follow your heart,
pursuing whatever adventures or goals that call to you.
