Your new character starts in the city you choose. Select just one of the three rewards offered by the starter deed.
Character creation
After choosing appearance and skills, select a starting city. Your new character enters at the selected city’s starting point with tools for your chosen skills, 10,000 gp and a starter deed. All starting items given to the new character have newbie protection. This does not apply protection to an existing character’s old inventory; signing in again does not grant another reward.
Newbie protection on rewards
A Reg Crystal (30) or 32-spell Spellbook newly granted by the deed also has newbie protection. The Horse option gives you an owned living horse.
Use the deed
- Double-click the starting deed in Inventory.
- Choose a Horse, Reg Crystal (30), or a Spellbook containing the first 32 Magery spells.
- The deed is deleted after a reward is successfully granted. It cannot grant a second or third reward.
- If backpack or carrying conditions block delivery, resolve the issue and retry. A failed delivery does not consume the reward entitlement.
| Option | Your Reward |
|---|---|
| Horse | Starting Horse |
| Reg Crystal (30) | Opening grants 30 of each of the eight classic reagents |
| Spellbook with 32 Spells | 32 Magery spells from the first four circles |
