Benburger's quick and easy starter guide

[benburger]

The numbers in parenthesis following every instruction (which should be followed in exact order) represent how much lp you have. Also, this guide assumes you are starting in a spruce forest. If you aren't make sure to craft a kuksa out of 2 birch bark and fill it with water for an additional 120 lp, provided you do it sometime after the first step. Also, in reality, you will be getting about 65 lp per action, not 60. I played it safe in case anyone out there chooses to invest in something besides peaceful their first go-round. btw be sure to have Ender's client.

decide whether you are going to be a man or a woman (0)
shift linen shirt, linen pants and clogs from torch to EQUIPMENT screen (0)
name character (0)
leave area (0)
shift belief slider to +1 peaceful (0)
unequip/equip clothing (120)
get a branch and a stone, make a stone-axe (300)
get one of everything (lets say 500)
drop everything in inv except stone-axe, equip that (500)
get lumberjacking (350)
chop down a tree (410)
get carpentry (210)
remove stump, split one block (270)
make one of everything from the symbel (510)
drop everything in inv (510)
build a cone cow and start studying it (510)
get foraging and hunting (425)
find taproot, get hearth magic (285)
find a rat and a frog, drop them afterwards (405)
find and butcher a rabbit (585)
build a bonesaw (645)
chop down a tree and turn some logs into boards (705)
if you have the stamina, dig in a forest until you find soil and an earthworm (825)
then, if you still have the stamina, dig in a mudflat and water for their clay (945)

now get out there and explore! You should get plenty of plants and anthill curios, and always be sure to study cone cows in your spare time! My recommendation is to keep getting lp until your exploration hits 10, then build a house, dreamcatcher and hearthfire and just keep on foraging. Oh and be sure to buy cloth-making for 200, then craft a nettle shirt and pants for slightly higher quality... stuff. When you're good and ready, stack up some more curios and save up for plant lore, will to power, farming, then yeomanry. those cost 200, 200, 400, and 4000, which is 4800 total. Thanks for reading!

Also you got that wrong. You move your sliders in the creation room and dig that sand in case you are not near any, and possibly keep a bit if you want glass easier.
