Getting StartedFrom a fresh Wayfarer to your first job; the first few hours, step by step.

Welcome to Skybound, an MMO set across a drifting archipelago of floating islands. Everyone begins the same way: a Wayfarer in the town of Dawnhaven, and the whole early game builds toward one milestone: reaching Level 15 and choosing a real job. Here’s exactly how to get there.

0 · The first minute

Opening Skybound plays a short intro cinematic over the sign-in screen. There is a Skip button, and it starts muted with a Sound on button beside it. It plays once per visit: refreshing the page will not replay it, closing the tab or the app and coming back will.

Once you are in the world with a new hero, a guided opening runs before the game hands you over. Five beats, one thing to do each:

1 · Create your hero

Pick a body type and a name (3+ characters, unique). You’re dropped into Dawnhaven, the frontier sanctuary, already wearing a starter kit: a Wooden Sword, a basic all-class outfit, and a few First Refreshers and Lollipops. Everything you start with is soul-bound: it can’t be traded or sold, so you can’t accidentally get rid of it.

You start with 250 Glint (the game’s currency), and stats of STR 15 · STA 15 · DEX 15 · INT 15.

2 · Get your bearings in Dawnhaven

Dawnhaven is a safe town: nothing attacks you here. It’s built as a radial hub: an octagonal plaza with a Town Statue at the centre and avenues running out to each gate. Everything you need is a short walk away.

3 · Head to the Wilds and start hunting

Talk to Elder Rowan in the plaza: he’s a Waystone Keeper who’ll send you to The Wilds, the Lv 1–21 starter zone. You arrive at Orin’s Rest. Fan out and fight the local wildlife.

• Targeting: click a monster to select it (cyan ring), click again to engage (red ring); your hero walks up and auto-attacks. Or press Tab to grab the nearest one.
• Your skills: the number keys 1–0 fire whatever sits on your hotbar row, and a newly learned skill drops itself into the first free slot. A Wayfarer’s first is Clean Hit at Level 3.
• Stay at-level: monsters far below your level give almost no XP (the level-gap rule). Follow the terraced bands north as you grow: Verdant Flats (Lv 1–3) → Briar Meadow → Stonebrook Vale → Wolf Hollow → Bloomridge → Dread Highlands (Lv 17–21).

4 · Spend your points as you level

Every level grants +2 stat points and some skill points (2 per level up to Lv 20). A quick primer:

Don’t overthink it early: a few points in STA keeps you alive, and you can plan a full build once you pick a job. Full detail on the Stats & Attributes page.

5 · Reach Level 15 and choose your job

This is the milestone. When you hit Level 15, a gold prompt appears: “Choose your Job: seek a Master at the Masters’ Hall.” Return to Dawnhaven. The four Masters each offer a trial quest:

There’s no instant class change and no pop-up picker; you actually earn it. Accepting a trial begins the path; completing it at the Master is what flips your class, lifts your level cap to 60, and grants a big one-time bundle of skill points. Read each job’s playstyle first on the Classes page.
