"Rune Slayer: A Beginner's Ultimate Guide"

After two failed launches and months of anticipation, *Rune Slayer* has finally arrived, and it's nothing short of glorious. Whether you're new to MMORPGs or a seasoned veteran, diving into *Rune Slayer* can be a bit overwhelming. Fear not, we've put together a comprehensive guide to help you navigate your adventure in *Rune Slayer* with ease.

Rune Slayer Beginner Tips

Here are some essential tips we wish we'd known from the start to make your journey smoother and more enjoyable.

Do not randomly attack other players

When *Rune Slayer* announced full-loot PvP, we feared it would devolve into chaos. Thankfully, that's not the case... mostly. **In *Rune Slayer*, death doesn't cost you anything**, even if it's at the hands of another player. You simply respawn and continue your adventure.

However, **attacking other players earns you a bounty**. The more you kill, the larger your bounty becomes, and the higher your bounty, the **more items you'll drop upon death**. Essentially, you can turn the game into full-loot PvP by attacking others, but it's risky. Our advice? **Avoid attacking other players** unless you have a compelling reason or a supportive group to back you up.

Craft Bags ASAP

You'll quickly realize that both your **bank space and inventory are quite limited**. With a maximum of 50 items, your inventory can fill up fast. The solution? **Craft bags**. You can equip up to two at a time, starting with the **Cotton Bag**.

To craft a Cotton Bag, **gather Cotton from north of Wayshire and Flax from the south**—though be cautious of mobs in the south. Each Cotton Bag adds an extra 10 slots, so prioritize crafting these as soon as possible.

Your pets don’t actually die

There's a common misunderstanding that pets die permanently when their health reaches zero. Not true. **When your pet 'dies', it's unavailable for 5 minutes**. You can check the cooldown by holding **T**. After five minutes, hold **T** again to resummon your pet.

Bonus Tip: To **quickly heal your pet**, store and unstore it at the stable master. You get one free slot, so make use of it.

Grab all the Quests (Yes, all of them)

*Rune Slayer* is packed with quests, most of which are non-repeatable and somewhat forgettable. They're typical "Kill 10 X" quests you've seen in other MMORPGs, and chances are, you won't read them all.

To manage this efficiently, **accept every quest you encounter**. Don't hesitate to grab everything from the Job board too. Completing multiple quests simultaneously is much easier than tackling them one by one. You might even complete several at once without realizing it, as we did when we returned to Wayshire with three quests ready to turn in.

Craft everything at least once (even things you don’t need)

Of course, prioritize crafting what you need, but don't ignore **spare materials**. **Craft items you don't immediately need** because doing so often **unlocks new, more powerful crafts**. We discovered a range of new Iron Armor options after smelting our first Iron Ore. So, be generous with your materials and craft away.

Join a Guild

While *Rune Slayer* is friendly to solo players, you'll eventually encounter **tougher enemies** designed for group combat. The simplest way to find a group is by **joining a guild**.

Use the general chat to express your need for a guild, or explore the official *Rune Slayer* Discord server to find one. Having allies will make tackling those big baddies much easier.

**And that's all there is to it. Have fun playing *Rune Slayer* and if you haven't started already, check out the *Rune Slayer* Trello and Discord.**
