1
🎁Redeem All 6 Codes2 min

Open Settings (gear icon top-right) → Utilities tab → paste each code → Claim. Codes give 20 Race Rerolls + 10 Elemental Shards. Do this BEFORE anything else.

📋 Codes: 20kMembers, BREW, 17kCCU, SPELL, RELEASE, WIZARD

2
🎲Reroll Your Race3 min

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

3
🫐Collect Starting Materials5 min

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

4
🧪Brew Your First Potion5 min

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

5
⚔️Learn Combat Controls5 min

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

6
💪Fight & Level Up15 min

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

7
🪄Upgrade Your Wand5 min

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

8
⬆️Ascend When Ready1 min

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

❌ Staying Human
Human has zero bonuses. Every other race is better. Use code rerolls immediately.
❌ Ignoring Parry
Parry (F key) is essential for bosses. Players who skip it get stuck at Dwarf King.
❌ Delaying Ascension
Every minute at level cap without ascending wastes XP. Ascend as soon as you qualify.
❌ Spreading Stats Evenly
Don't split points equally. Attack-heavy (60-80%) is optimal for 90% of content.
❌ Missing Hidden Wands
Ember Staff (treehouse) and Ice Star Wand (waterfall cave) are game-changers most players never find.

First Hour Priorities

Codes First

20 Race Rerolls + 10 Elemental Shards — free resources that jumpstart your entire progression.

Race Second

A good race multiplies ALL your damage. It's the single biggest power multiplier you'll ever get.

Brew Third

Spells are your main damage source. Even Wind Blade (6 MP) dramatically increases your combat power.

Ascend Fourth

Ascending raises your level cap and XP gain. Don't delay it — every minute at cap is wasted XP.

New Player Tips

📊 Attack Only Early

Put 100% of stat points into Attack until level 20. Killing faster is more defensive than adding HP — dead enemies deal no damage.

🎯 Skip Intermediate Wands

Don't buy Wingbird or Azure Wand. Save gold for Ember Staff (30K) — the jump is worth the wait.

🔄 Batch Brew

Brew 10+ Wind Blades early. Use 3 duplicates to refine to SSS. A SSS Wind Blade carries you through early-mid game.

🛡️ Learn Parry on Goblins

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.
