20 Rerolls + 10 Shards

📋 Codes: 20kMembers, BREW, 17kCCU, SPELL, RELEASE, WIZARD
Human has zero bonuses. Use your 20 free rerolls to get at least A-tier (Stellar Ambassador, Death Eater, Fiendish Demon, or Ice Crystal). If you hit Thestrals (1%), STOP immediately.
💡 Check our Race Tier List before rolling
Run around Departure Isle collecting Blueberries, Withered Mushrooms, and Seagull Eggs from bushes and nests. Get 15+ of each for your first brews.
💡 They respawn every 2-3 minutes
Go to the Alchemy Table. Add materials totaling 6+ Magic Power for Wind Blade (your first spell). Learn the 3-step minigame: Grind → Pour → Stir.
💡 2× Blueberry + 1× Seagull Egg = 11 MP
WASD move, Space jump, Q dash, LMB basic attack, E/R spells, F parry. Practice F (parry) on normal enemies — watch for the red indicator.
💡 Q dash has invincibility frames
Kill enemies near spawn to level up. Put ALL stat points into Attack Damage — killing faster is the best defense. Reach level 10-15 in this session.
💡 Free stat resets any time
Buy Wingbird Wand (2,000 gold) from the Equipment Shop. Or save for Ember Staff (30K gold) at the hidden treehouse — much bigger power spike.
💡 Don't buy intermediate wands
When you hit level cap (25 for Tier 1), go to the Ascension NPC near spawn. Pay the gold cost to raise your cap and get XP multiplier. Never delay ascension.
💡 Ascension bonuses are permanent
5 Common Mistakes to Avoid
First Hour Priorities
20 Race Rerolls + 10 Elemental Shards — free resources that jumpstart your entire progression.
A good race multiplies ALL your damage. It's the single biggest power multiplier you'll ever get.
Spells are your main damage source. Even Wind Blade (6 MP) dramatically increases your combat power.
Ascending raises your level cap and XP gain. Don't delay it — every minute at cap is wasted XP.
New Player Tips
Put 100% of stat points into Attack until level 20. Killing faster is more defensive than adding HP — dead enemies deal no damage.
Don't buy Wingbird or Azure Wand. Save gold for Ember Staff (30K) — the jump is worth the wait.
Brew 10+ Wind Blades early. Use 3 duplicates to refine to SSS. A SSS Wind Blade carries you through early-mid game.
Goblin enemies have slow attacks with generous parry windows. Master F key parrying here before fighting bosses.
Wizard Alchemy Beginner's Guide
Starting Wizard Alchemy can feel overwhelming with races, potions, shards, stats, gear, and ascension all competing for attention. This 8-step guide gives you the optimal first hour, prioritizing the actions that have the biggest impact on your long-term progression.
The single most important early action is redeeming codes. The 20 free Race Rerolls give you a chance at S-tier (Thestrals, +20% Dark damage) or A-tier races that multiply all your damage permanently. Don't touch anything else until you've rerolled.
After your race is set, the core gameplay loop is: Collect → Brew → Fight → Level → Ascend → Repeat. This guide walks you through each step in order, including the exact material combinations for your first brew and the stat allocation that maximizes early progression.
