Conclusion

You should now have enough information to traverse this new world you entered. The things you learn that were not in these pages were meant to be discovered. If you are looking to buy tomatoes, this guide does not tell you that. You must figure out where to buy them or find them. Novice necromancers may have a personal quest to find the Black Magic Guild. What a magic item does will have to be learned by maybe examining it. These matters are for you to discover. Here are some tips for playing the game:

  1. Your first quest should be to figure out how to supply yourself with food and drink.
  2. Consider beginning in Britain, as there are plenty of stores and farmlands that can help.
  3. The starting settlements usually have an easy dungeon nearby.
  4. Find inspiration of a character archetype when choosing skills; thief, wizard, warrior, etc.
  5. Look over your ClassicUO client settings before heading out with your new character.
  6. Keep an eye on your resurrection costs, and make sure you collect enough gold in the bank to help you resurrect without detriments.
  7. Talk to NPCs. They may provide information that you are not aware of.
  8. Read the books and scrolls you find. They sometimes provide details on the world.
  9. Approach this game as a sandbox, single player game and not like its massively multiplayer counterpart.
  10. Quests are mostly of your own making. If you want an item, that is your quest. If you want to explore a dungeon fully, that is your quest.
  11. A character cannot do everything. Try to choose a path and skills that work best together.
  12. You can have multiple characters, so try different types.
  13. You define the concept of winning and losing.
  14. There is no hand holding here. What you do and where you go and what you learn, is all up to you.
  15. Until you get comfortable with the overall game, single click items when you can. See what you can learn by doing so.
  16. Get yourself a regular book from a merchant. Something you can write in. Take notes on things as you travel the land.
