Wiki — Onboarding & Progressive Unlocking

Progressive Tab Unlocking

• Tabs start locked and unlock based on level, quest completion, or faction tier.
• Locked tabs show a hint: "Unlocks at level X" or "Unlocks after quest Y".
• This prevents the first-session firehose — new players see only what they need.
• Tab unlock state is persisted per character.

Interactive Tutorial

• The first 5 minutes feature a scripted onboarding sequence.
• Highlights the next element to click and walks you through: first kill → first quest turn-in → first autopilot activation.
• The tutorial is dismissible — experienced players can skip it.

"Next Step" Prompt

• If you're idle with no active quest and no autopilot target, a contextual suggestion appears.
• Examples: "Next: travel to Thornhaven", "Try the Warden task in this town".
• Helps lost players find their next objective.

Tips for New Players

• Follow the Main Story quests (chain MS) — they guide you through all 14 towns from level 1 to 200.
• Talk to every NPC with a quest marker — they offer quests that unlock new zones.
• Use the Quest Autopilot for idle questing, but try manual play for group content.
• Check the Quest Tracker overlay to see your current objective at all times.
