Your First Steps

New to Myrthalis? This page takes you from your first login to your first dungeon.

1. Always use the launcher

Start the game with the Echoes Launcher: it downloads only what changed, shows the news, then press START.

Don't start Neuz.exe directly

You would miss patches: windows can look broken, or the game may not connect at all.

2. Your starter kit

Every new character starts with the Novice Echo Set:

• an Oblivion weapon, a dark armor set and outfit for your class, a cloak and a mask;
• a box where you pick your accessories (STR, INT, DEX or STA);
• a Novice Echo Shield Selector (the shield or the magic shield);
• 300 Remantis Laccotte and 3 Farming Grounds Tickets.

The set grows with you: it gets stronger every level up to level 190, where it reaches half the power of Tier 1 Echo gear, and it stays at full power after a rebirth. Every Novice Echo weapon has +100% casting speed from level 1.

Make it even stronger

Upgrade it, add elements and sockets, and awaken it with a Starter Awakening Scroll from the Red Perin shop (see Awakening & Rarity).

When you create your character you also pick a starter outfit (hat, suit, gloves and shoes) and a looter pet.

3. Your first goals

Goal	Where	Why
Level up to 60	Flaris fields	Your job change; most systems open
Open the Echoes Hub	Ctrl+L	Your checklist: what is ready today
Clear a dungeon on Easy	Ctrl+D	Dungeon Points, and the next difficulty unlocks
Get your Gemstone Belt	the Gemcutter on the Flaris plaza	Clear any dungeon, then show him a Tier 1 Gemstone
Farm crafting materials	the Echo Grounds Warden on the Flaris plaza	Free, from level 1

4. Where everything is

The Flaris plaza (around the fountain) is your hub: the Tower Keeper, the Farming Grounds Keeper, the Echo Grounds Warden and the Gemcutter all stand there, and the Supporters Board is by the main square.

Item tooltips

Hover any item to see where it is used: the tooltip lists every system that needs it.

Next: The Interface, where every icon on your screen is explained.
