"Hey, you are looking to make it as a Hero, aren't you? I can tell by the light in your eyes. Many before you have started their journey here -- it’s why I'm here too." "Say, why don't you help me out? I have a Quest here to clear out some rats from the local village. In return, I'll show you how to get started!" "Thanks! Well, I can't have you rushing in there without a Weapon, so take this. It's not the best, but it's a start." "Moving and attacking consumes Stamina, so keep an eye on it! Also, don't forget to equip your Wooden Sword from your Inventory!" You received a Wooden Sword.

Stage 2 Minimum Level: 1 Location:Glacial Field (4, 3) Required Item: None Required Kills: 2 x Glacial Rat

"Did you defeat those scary rats?" "Amazing! You're a natural! By completing quests and defeating creatures you will gain XP! If you are defeated, however, you will lose Gold and XP. So be careful!" "You can also keep track of quests through the Quest Book. Pretty handy if you feel a little lost." "Completing this quest will be enough to give you a Level. You will gain Attribute Points and Skill Points that you can assign to make yourself stronger or learn some new skills! Why don't you check it out?" Assign Attribute and Skill points.

"When you attack enemies and take damage, your equipment will wear over time. It's important to keep your gear repaired." "You can also repair your gear directly from your Inventory. It costs Gold to repair gear, so keep that in mind!"

Stage 4 Minimum Level: 1 Location:Glacial Field (4, 3) Required Item: None Required Kills: None	"Ready to go? Don't forget to Repair!" "Now you're ready! You see that up ahead? That's a Stairway. It connects to another Realm. Sometimes you need to be at a required level to go through them, or there may be quest requirements to complete before they open." "Since you've already completed the quest, go ahead and select the Stairway tile!"

Stage 5 Minimum Level: 1 Location:Glacial Path (4, 3) Required Item: None Required Kills: None	The young warrior beckons you over with a frantic wave. "You're making good progress, warrior! Let's see here ... ah, it would be good if we got you some better gear. I happen to know here that might have what you need. He's an old hunter that lives nearby. You should go pay him a visit!" Visit the old hunter.

Stage 6 Minimum Level: 1 Location:Glacial Path (5, 2) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

An old hunter looks you up and down. "What's this? Has that young lad sent another to me? Hahaha, well, I take it you're looking to also become a warrior. Well, whatever it is, how can I help?" The old hunter laughs. "I guess I have a few pieces still lying around, but I'm afraid I can't just give them away. If you want them, perhaps you can help me with a little problem I'm having." The old hunter claps his hands together and motions to the snowfields. "The Winter Wolves have been getting bold as of late. Care to scare some off for me? In return, I'll give you some armor. Be careful though, you might want to cast some Skills just in case you are overwhelmed." Cast Skills to empower yourself and defeat mightier foes!

Stage 7 Minimum Level: 1 Location:Glacial Path (5, 2) Required Item: None Required Kills: 5 x Winter Wolf	The old hunter looks up from his sharpening his blade. "How are you faring against those Winter Wolves?" "Heh, I can tell. Good work. Here's the armor as promised. It's not the best, but it'll get you by. Don't forget to Equip it from your Inventory -- take care."

Stage 8 Minimum Level: 1 Location:Glacial Path (4, 3) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

"You're back! Were you able to get some gear from the old hunter?" "Excellent! Paying attention to your gear is important if you want to survive in this world. Luckily, there are many ways to acquire it, but there are also many ways to improve it! With Hellforge and Crafting you can increase the stats of gear, and with Inventing you can make new gear entirely! You can check those out in the Artisan menu."

Stage 9 Minimum Level: 1 Location:Glacial Path (4, 3) Required Item: None Required Kills: None	"Well, I'm running out of things to teach you, warrior. There are so many things to discover in Erildath, and a lot of helpful people around to teach you how!" "Hmm, I wonder what you'll become? A monster-slaying Hero? Champion of the Arena? Potion-Making Composing Whizz? Heh! How about all three!?" "I think you’ve got it from here. See you around!"
