New page

Below is the Tutorial as you will find it in-game. Some UI elements may change as improvements are ongoing and the tutorial will be improved as the game develops.

When starting the game and before being shown the tutorial, you will enter character creation where you will first choose your starting region (currently has no impact, so it is just flavor text), race (only humans currently available), and appearance (all of these are visual with no in-game impacts).

== '''Welcome to WalkScape!''' ==
I'm very happy to see you join WalkScape's Closed Beta.

As you may know, the game is still under development, and the game you see here is only the core of the game.

The game is still very limited in terms of features and content, and we are expanding the game continuously throughout the beta.

There might also be issues: bugs, exploits and unbalanced content found in the game. Some of these might result in needing to either roll back or restart the server - both of which we want to avoid as much as possible, but important to keep in mind that they're a possibility.

With all of that out of the way, thank you for joining us, and helping to test the game. You can continue this tutorial by either pressing “NEXT” at the bottom of the page, or pressing “QUIT” to quit the tutorial. I highly recommend to play through the tutorial, as the game is quite different.

=== '''Basic navigation''' ===
The basic navigation of the game might be slightly different from typical applications and games, especially for iOS users. Here are some good things to remember:

Some game views have no back buttons such as crafting and [[inventory]]. You can navigate back from views by doing a "back swipe" by swiping the edge of either left or right side of the screen.

Most of the game views, including the main view and [[inventory]], are also navigateable by swiping left or right between the different tabs.

The “hamburger button” at the main view bottom right corner opens up options to navigate to different menus, such as leaderboard.

Your character's profile picture at the top left corner can be pressed, and opens your [[Character Level|character information]].

The [[inventory]] counter, green crafting symbol and minimap can be pressed to open [[inventory]], crafting or [[Arenum|world]] map respectively. World map is used for [[traveling]].
[[File:BasicNavigation.gif|center|thumb|379x379px|You can open more game menu options by pressing the “hamburger button” at the main game view.]]

==== '''Activities and actions''' ====
The core of the game is that you select an [[Activities|activity]] for your character, and complete actions by walking in real life. Each [[Activities|activity]] takes a certain number of steps to complete an action. The number of steps needed can be brought down via [[Equipment|gear]] and [[items]].

You can see information about your current location by swiping left. From [[Arenum|world]] map, you can find information about other locations that you've previously visited by tapping locations and swiping right.

Gathering [[activities]] are unlimited - they repeat infinitely. Crafting and [[Traveling]] activities are limited, meaning that when you arrive at your destination or run out of crafting [[materials]], the activity ends.

If you walk while your character has no [[Activities|activity]] selected, your steps will go towards “[[Saved steps|Saved Steps]]”. Saved steps are consumed on future activities, so you practically can never waste steps in WalkScape.

If you change your activity, the current activity ends. Any steps that were already contributed towards the current action will be refunded to your “[[Saved steps|Saved Steps]]”.

=== '''Begin your journey''' ===
Those are the basics of the game! You'll see these tutorial messages pop up while you interact with new things in the game, if you decide not to skip the tutorial.

As your first thing, you should swipe left to the Location page, and scroll down to '''Visit [[Helpful Herbert's Hut]]'''. Press the Help-option there, and he will give you a gift to help you get started in WalkScape.

I hope you enjoy the game! We also have a [[WalkScape: Grind by walking!|Wiki]] for WalkScape with a new player guide.

==== '''Selecting activities''' ====
Selecting [[activities]] for your character to complete is the most important way for progressing in the game. [[Activities]] reward you with [[items]] and [[Skill Experience|experience]] when you complete “actions”.

You can find the [[activities]] below the location image. On smaller screens, you might need to scroll slightly to find the [[activities]] listed. The activity listing shows buttons for different [[skills]] that have possible [[activities]] available at the location. The number below the button indicates how many options are available.
[[File:OpeningActivities.gif|center|thumb|Opening and starting activities can be done in the location view and alternatively in activity view if you have no current activity selected.]]

==== '''Visiting buildings''' ====
Another important thing that you can do in some locations is visiting buildings. Not every location has buildings.

The most important buildings are definitely shops and banks. You can use NPC shops for buying and selling your items. [[Banks]] are useful when you want to store items for later use. You can quickly deposit items from your [[inventory]] if your location has a bank when long tapping an [[Items|item]] and choosing the option from bottom right.

While in [[Disenchanted Forest]], the starting location, you should '''Visit [[Helpful Herbert's Hut]]'''. He will give you some [[items]] to get you started.
[[File:VisitingBuildings.gif|center|thumb|Some locations have buildings that you can visit.]]

==== '''Using services''' ====
Some locations - especially cities and towns - also have services. You need services in order to craft certain [[items]]. Here are the most commonly needed services during early game:

'''[[Forges]]'''. Forges are necessary when you want to do [[smithing]], like smelting bars or creating armor. You can find the nearest forge in [[Kallaheim]].

'''[[Sawmills]]'''. Sawmills are necessary when you want to do [[carpentry]], like creating planks out of logs. You can find the nearest sawmill in [[Kallaheim]].

'''[[Kitchens]]'''. Kitchens are necessary when you want to do [[cooking]], like creating [[consumables]] that give temporary buffs. You can find the nearest kitchen in [[Kallaheim]].

'''[[Workshops]]'''. Workshops are necessary when you want to do [[crafting]], like creating tools such as pickaxes and fishing rods. You can find the nearest workshop in [[Frusenholm]], east of [[Kallaheim]]. Basic [[tools]] have no service requirements.

==== '''Visiting Helpful Herbert's Hut''' ====
As your first thing, you should pay a visit to Herbert. He's located in [[Disenchanted Forest]], and helps you to get started in the game.
[[File:VisitingBuildings.gif|center|thumb|Visit Herbert by scrolling down the location view the location view in Disenchanted Forest and pressing “Visit”.]]

=== '''Choose a starting skill''' ===
Well now, Newbie! There's a lot you can do around here. I can give you something to get you started. What would you be interested in?

==== '''Getting started''' ====
I also have some [[Wooden Stick|sticks]] and [[Stone|stones]] gathered here if you want to make some basic [[tools]] yourself. Check them out if you like to make more [[tools]].

You can get free stones and sticks from Herbert by pressing “Buy items” button while visiting his hut. If you want to build other tools, this is a useful option. You can long press the “+ button” to select all while in shops or banks.

'''[[Woodcutting]]''' is essential [[Skills|skill]] for building things: many [[tools]] require planks, which can only be made out of logs. Woodcutting is important for ''[[Carpentry]]''.

'''Starting Location''': You can start ''woodcutting'' here in [[Disenchanted Forest]].

'''Where to find''': Forest locations usually contain ''woodcutting'' [[activities]].

'''Used for''': Gaining logs, which are useful for ''[[carpentry]]''.

'''[[Mining]]''' is essential [[Skills|skill]] for making things out of metal: armor, weapons and tools require metals, which can be gained from mining ores. ''Mining'' is important for ''[[smithing]]''.

'''Starting Location''': You can start ''mining'' in [[Beach of Woes]], west from [[Disenchanted Forest]].

'''Where to find''': Mountain and hill locations usually contain ''mining'' [[activities]].

'''Used for''': Gaining ores, which are useful for ''[[smithing]].''

'''[[Foraging]]''' is essential [[Skills|skill]] for finding plants: plants are used in many skills. This makes ''foraging'' great for a lot of things, like ''[[crafting]]'' and ''[[cooking]]''.

'''Starting Location''':: You can start ''foraging'' here in [[Disenchanted Forest]].

'''Where to find''': All nature locations (plains, forests, hills, mountains, beaches) can contain ''foraging'' [[activities]].

'''Used for''': Gaining plants, which are useful for many [[skills]]

'''[[Fishing]]''' is essential [[Skills|skill]] for catching raw fish: fish can be cooked, and even some more complex cooking recipes use fish. ''Fishing'' is important for ''[[cooking]]''.

'''Starting Location''': You can start ''fishing'' in [[Beach of Woes]], west from [[Disenchanted Forest]].

'''Where to find''': Water locations (beaches, coasts, lakes, rivers) usually contain ''fishing'' [[activities]].

'''Used for''': Gaining fish, which are useful for ''[[cooking]].''
