Your first minutes in Privateer's Hold

Begin in the Hold

Your new character starts inside Privateer's Hold. The welcome tutorial introduces the immediate task: look through your pack, find the way out of the cave, and make for the nearest town. It is guidance for your first minutes, not a room-by-room map.

The tutorial tour has five short subjects: Welcome, Moving Around, Using Things, The Bars and the Compass, and The Menu and Saving. Tutorial pages can be reread from the menu. Their read state belongs to your device, so a second character does not necessarily see pages you already read.

Check your journal

Press L to open the journal to active quests. Press N to open the same window to your notebook. The journal's other views include finished quests and messages. Both keys work underground.

Take a measured first look

Use the controls to move, look around and ready your weapon. This guide does not give a fixed room-by-room route or promise a particular item in a specific room.

Common mistakes

• Leaving without checking the journal. It gives you a place to review active objectives and notes.

• Expecting to return to the public Hold later. Online, leaving closes the ordinary route back in. Finish what you want to do here before exiting.
