Description
When you first start the game you will be in the Plane of Tranquility. The Planar Gateway that
allows you to change levels is here, so this is the hub for the good story arc. As your hub,
gate scrolls bring you back to this point and this is where you start and finish all planes.
It is safe to walk away from the controller to heal or regenerate mana here as you will never
encounter an enemy here. Speak to Firiona Vie and she will ask you to save all of existence
because the last army that tried all died in the attempt.
Firiona Vie will also offer to buy and sell equipment. This is one of only two shops you will
be able to access while you are good. Since you only have 500 gold, the only things you will
be able to afford are potions, arrows and possibly a thrown weapon. Items listed in red are
too high a level or not allowed for your class, so don’t buy them. You are going to need a
ranged weapon. As clerics have very limited options for ranged attacks, you may want to
consider playing something other than a cleric your first time through the game. If you have
a bow, spend all your starting money on arrows. If not a ranger, cleric or wizard, buy the
best thrown weapon you can afford. If there are no thrown weapons available, consider buying
two healing potions. If you are playing a wizard simply buy two mana potions.
Check that your game options are on your desired settings. “Damage Text” should be “On” so you
can tell when you are and are not doing damage. Take some time to explore the tiny Plane of
Tranquility. You won’t find any treasure, but you will find a portal, a save point, and an exit.
Portals and save points will always look exactly like those on this plane. Bring up your map so
that you can see the map symbols for all three. Always first seek out and touch portals and
save points in levels to activate them and checkpoint your progress. Exits may look different
from level to level and are often difficult to notice as exits. However the map symbol for an
exit will normally be the same, so remember what that symbol looks like on your map. If at any
point you are having difficulty, remember that drawing enemies back to a save point makes them
easy to kill. If you die, you won’t have lost any progress, and if another player dies, he
will be quickly resurrected and be back in the fight.
Some players will prefer to rush straight to each exit or quest item to finish as fast as
possible. Others will prefer to systematically kill every monster and open every chest and
collect every piece of treasure before going to the next area. Both are perfectly valid ways
to play the game. You should keep in mind that if you rush to finish each area, you may find
that your character is not powerful enough to kill bosses when you encounter them. However,
this walkthrough will help both play styles. Each area will have the fastest route noted, and
the most efficient route noted to explore the area with the least amount of backtracking.
Whatever your style, after you are familiar with the controls head to the Planar Gateway to
start the Plane of War.
