Landmark - Beta - Fast Start Guide

Welcome to Landmark - Beta

This is a “Fast-Start’ guide to your first set of tasks to get to setting up your claim when you arrive.

They include:

0. Type "/join TheHonorEmpire" in chat to join THE chat channel. Also, "/friend add Rumblebore". Others are Balandar, Borg, CCC, Azazael, Soluran, Amnestra
1. Visit the Hub and Crafting Stations there
2. Harvesting the Materials you need for your Claim, New Axe and New Pick.

3. Set up your Claim

After you make and name your character you get to see a video by Dave Georgeson (mandatory) and then you will arrive at some Tier 1 Island. Head to the structure with 4 towers, a floating blue crystal and several devices making noise, smoke and sparks. Look at the recipe list of available items you can make.

Hit the Letter ‘I’ as in Igloo for your inventory. Drag your Stone Pick and Stone Axe to one of the Hotkeys in the bottom middle hotkey bar for ease in equipping whichever one you need easily.

What you will want to make are the following recipes:

Copper Axe

  • 1000 Copper - will be converted to 10 Copper Ingots at the Basic Forge
  • 10 Elemental Copper – the ‘rare’ item found commonly while mining
  • 20 Agate - a gemstone of yellowish color, best seen on hillSIDES. Not common, but it is there
  • 15 Heartwood – the common ‘rare’ item off most trees no matter what type of wood you chop

Tin Axe

  • 500 Copper T1
  • 5 Elemental Copper T1
  • 500 Tin T1
  • 5 Elemental Tin T1
  • 20 Tourmaline – a spotty bluish-pink (visually) gemstone, also uncommon but it is out there. T1
  • 20 Heartwood

You definitely need the Copper Axe to craft your Claim flag because it needs T2 Materials and the Stone Axe cannot harvest T2.

Claim Flag

  • 7 Elemental Iron – Mine Iron (a Blue-Black textured node/vein) and get this rare T2
  • 10 Aquamarine – A Cloudy-Blue gemstone. T2
  • 10 Heartwood

Optional:

Stone Forge – This has more recipes you will need to make higher Tiered equipment and more

  • 1500 Copper T1
  • 15 Elemental Copper
  • 50 Coal - Convert Plain wood to Coal. 10 wood logs make 10 coal at Forge.
  • 2100 Pile of Worked Stone – Convert 100 Stone (common drops while mining) to 105 Worked Stone = 20 combines.

Keen Eye Band – Increases the chance of extra rares dropping while harvesting

  • 1000 Copper T1
  • 10 Elemental Copper T1
  • 100 Stone T1

Placing your Claim

Find the Island you want to place your claim on (we are located on Serenity Hilltop (west of the spire)), hit the letter M for map, and click on the option to show Claimable land. All the red means it is not available. You need to find a spot without red. If the Island is overcrowded, check other islands for open space. Head to that open space area and look around for whatever you want – trees, mountain-tops, hillsides, valleys, etc.

Once there, use shift +mouse scroll wheel to change to second-person view as far as it goes. Then right click on your claim flag in your inventory, and you are taken to the map with a tall box that you can move around. Move the box around with the mouse. You can use the mouse scroll button to raise or lower the box, making it go below ground or barely touching the ground and 99% in the air. If you move the box over any ‘claimed’ land, you will see the box change color forbidding you to place it.

There are 2 restrictions. You cannot put a claim 100% in the air, you must touch ground somewhere. The process automatically limits how far you can place the claim. It also prevents putting this first claim 100% underground. Some part will have to be above the surface.

After this, you have covered the basics of what to do, where to go, and what to make to get your claim up and working. Now go out and continue to do that or stop and start building.

Tips

  • Desert Biomes make finding Metal easier. Tundra is the hardest.
  • Tropical Biomes are good for wood & Heartwood
  • The ‘Refining’ stations are Personal and no one else can use them but you. Not ‘needed’.
  • The ‘Workstation’ helps to make other workstations and accessories, and is needed
  • The Alchemy station is needed to convert ‘special’ wood and Heartwood to make better axes and picks. This is needed.
