Starting city and one-choice starter deed

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

  1. Double-click the starting deed in Inventory.
  2. Choose a Horse, Reg Crystal (30), or a Spellbook containing the first 32 Magery spells.
  3. The deed is deleted after a reward is successfully granted. It cannot grant a second or third reward.
  4. If backpack or carrying conditions block delivery, resolve the issue and retry. A failed delivery does not consume the reward entitlement.
