How to start playing on Outcast?
=================================================

First go through the Beginner Hunting Area to get better equipment. The beginner area can be found in the south-west teleport inside the Temple & Depot where you spawn everytime. Before you go hunting, train your skills, and buy or make runes (you don't need blank runes, just use the spell). Also train Magic Level so that you can use the most important spells for the chosen profession.

**List of Spells**

EXP Runes
----
To level faster you should use EXP Boost runes (They last for 8 days and give you a +75% Boost) which you can get in the following ways:

- Follow Outcast on https://youtube.outcastserver.com and https://twitch.tv/god_qutor, then write message in game to God Qut that you've followed the channels. Wait until he reads the message and activates your EXP boost. You can check how long your boost is by !expboost

- Loot them from bosses like Morgaroth and other stronger bosses

- From the shop for donation points

- Win them from the Zombie Event

- Buy from other players (400-500cc for XP boost 3, 1500-2000cc for XP boost 4)

- Win them from events that GM Announcer organizes weekly

- From monster tasks (ask NPC Starboy on Edron’s boat)

XP Boost Statues
----
There are several places on the server where there are Golden Phoenix statues which can be clicked and a short term super XP Boost gets activated. When you activate it, you will get 200% to 300% experience boost from monsters for a certain period of time. The XP Bonus ends after you die, teleport or log out, but don't worry, you can use the EXP Statue without limits by going back to the location and clicking it again.

Party XP Bonus
----
Bonus for EXP in the party on Outcast is 75%, so it is much faster to XP with a team than going solo. Every 6 hours a 200% party exp bonus is activated, so for 2 players in the party you get the same amount of experience for the monster as you get solo. Shared XP with each player! No matter what level your party member has, you both will get the same amount of experience for the monsters.

How to gain XP and Levels quickly?
----
Remember, this is important! To EXP faster you have to kill as many monsters as possible in the shortest possible time, so try to lure as many monsters as you can and attack them all at once. You could stairhop them, or find some other method of doing it. On the Outcast exhaust is 1 second, so spells and runes are much more important in fast hunting than physical attacks.

**Most Useful Spells & Runes for each vocation**

``Knight`` Uber Exori, Exori, Explo

``Paladin`` Sonar, Avalanche Rune, SD, Explo

``Sorcerer`` Exevo Gran Mas Vis, Avalanche Rune, Exevo Death Hur, SD, Exevo Gran Vis Lux

``Druid`` Exevo Gran Mas Pox, Avalanche Rune, Exevo Water Hur, SD, Exura Sio, Exura Gran Mas Res

Making Money
----
- The fastest way to earn money at the beginning of the game is collecting items from the monsters and selling them to NPC Tirano at +1 Floor in Depot & Temple.

- Another way is to get a minimum of 4000 max task points through the !task system, and collect 100cc for each 4000 task points with the command: ``!task crystal coins``

- Every few hours Double Loot is activated and it lasts 30 minutes. The activation of double loot is always announced in the default chat. Use this time to double your profits, it is an extremely beneficial moment in getting the most money possible

- The fastest way to earn money on Outcast is to farm the following monster: ``Noble Warrior`` during double loot, they drop 1 CC to 45 CC per kill. This is specific boss that deals very quick damage from a distance, but is much weaker up close. The best way to farm Nobles is to lure them to the stairs and hop them. Noble Warrior has 100,000 hp, the preferred level for Knight and Paladin is 500, for Mages 700.
