Opening Choice
Start by choosing a coven that matches the way you want to fight. Nightscribes lean into spell rhythm; Cloudpiercers are friendlier for players who want safer melee pressure.
- Do not pick only by name.
- Build a stable resource loop before roaming far.
- Place the Hearth near open terrain and common resources.

First Objectives
Your first loop is Hearth, workbench, storage, return route, and a useful familiar. Once that loop is stable, the rest of the map becomes much easier to read.
- Craft basic tools and a workbench.
- Learn your return-to-Hearth option.
- Keep common materials near the Hearth.

Where to Go Next
After the starter loop, read crafting, Hearth, familiars, and resources. Those systems decide how quickly the rest of your save opens up.
