Getting Started

Run:

'''Getting Started''' covers everything a new player needs to take their first steps in Winds of Valen.

== Your First Steps ==
When you start out, your first goal is to get familiar with [[Valen Gate]], the starter town. It's your main hub for learning the game, buying basic gear, and healing up at the Healing Crystal in the town center.

# '''Learn your controls and UI''': check your inventory, character menu, and the chat window (bottom left) so you can follow messages from other players.
# '''Get basic gear''': you should start with a [[Copper Sword]] equipped; if you don't have one, pick one up at the Sword Stall in [[Valen Gate]].
# '''Start training''': begin fighting in beginner areas like [[Broken Village]] and [[Farmlands]], which are built for safe early leveling.
# '''Gather resources''': start collecting [[Copper Ore]], [[Tin Ore]], fish, and other early materials; you'll need them for crafting.
# '''Upgrade gradually''': as you level up, improve your gear at crafting stations like the Anvil, or buy better equipment in town.
# '''Explore carefully''': Dont enter [[Darklands]] with items you are unwilling to lose.

== Early Progression Route ==
A rough order to tackle content in once you've got your footing:

# '''Regular Goblins''': Cross the bridge south of [[Valen Gate]] into [[Broken Village]] and start killing the basic level 1 [[Goblin|Goblins]] there. Loot everything they drop and sell it to a shop for early coin.
# '''First boss, Goblin Berserker''': Once you're comfortable, take on the [[Goblin Berserker]] in [[Broken Village]]. Wear gear with decent Slash Resistance, it hits hard once enraged below 50% HP. It has a 1/3 chance to drop the [[Goblin Axe]], a solid early 2-handed weapon.
# '''Train Archery, then Goblin Watcher''': Level up Archery on the Goblins in Broken Village, then head to [[Goblin Cave]] and take on the [[Goblin Watcher]] boss. It has a 1/3 chance to drop the [[Goblin Bow]].
# '''Pirate Captain''': Venture southeast to [[Valen Port]] and fight the [[Pirate Captain]] (level 25). The [[Goblin Axe]] from earlier still holds up well here.
# '''Bandit Mercenary''': Once you can handle the Pirate Captain, push on to the [[Mercenary Camp]] in [[Forest Alcove]] and take on [[Bandit Mercenary]] (level 30) next.

== Healing ==
Left-click a green Healing Crystal in any town to restore your health instantly, these crystals also act as your respawn point. Health potions and simply respawning are your other two options for recovering.

== Opening the Map ==
Press '''M''' to open the in-game map.

== Kick Timer ==
Playing for 6 hours straight will kick you from the game. You can log straight back in afterward, which resets the timer.

== Guides ==
In-depth guides for each skill and system live in [[:Category:Guides]]. Start here:

= Cartography and Spatial Zone Architecture =
Spatial design and directional orientation in Winds of Valen are anchored around a centralized cartographic benchmark known as '''True North''', which is defined as the direct line of sight stretching from the starter settlement toward the main castle gate. All directional metadata across the database relies on this orientation vector.

The world is divided into safe regions, gated metropolitan zones, resource nodes, and high-risk player-versus-player wilderness areas.

See the [[Interactive Map]] for a clickable overview of towns, bosses, resource nodes, and shops.

== PVE ==
* '''[[Town 1|Valen Gate]]''': The default entry point for all new characters, featuring standard stalls for early-stage combat preparation and fishing.
* '''[[Town Mine]]''': Positioned adjacent to Town 1, serving as a non-hazardous mining site packed with copper, tin, and iron rock nodes.
* '''[[Broken Village]]''': Located directly south of the starting settlement. A run-down area populated by [[Goblin Villager|Goblins]] that functions as the entry-level combat training ground.
* '''Graveyard''': Further south of the Broken Village, populated by basic [[Graveyard Skeleton|Skeletons]].

* '''[[Elven Haven]]''': Located in the eastern sector. A high-tier zone containing [[Elf|Elves]], [[Elf Scholar|Elf Scholars]], and the dangerous boss [[Elf Warden]].
* '''[[Forest Alcove]]''': Deep within the eastern woodland. A secluded and highly hazardous section of the woods that houses [[Bandit]] camps.

== PvP ==
* '''[[Darklands]]''': Acts as the primary full-loot PvP area. Player-versus-player combat is enabled, and standard safe respawn features are suspended. [[Volcanic Gold Rocks]] and level 67 [[Skeleton Knight (Level 67)|Skeleton Knights]] are located here.

== Members Only Regions ==
* '''[[Valen City]]''': A massive gated urban center accessible only after completing the [[Open The Gates]] quest. Contains numerous friendly NPCs, a specialized bank, and an advanced potion-making shop equipped with a Large Cauldron.

Open The Gates

2026-09-01T12:05:46Z

Run:

'''Open The Gates''' is an introductory, members-only quest in Winds of Valen that grants players access to [[Valen City]]. In this quest, you must assist Guard Captain Miller in locating his missing scouts around the [[Goblin Villager]] camp, and ultimately confront the [[Goblin General]].

== Details ==
{{Quest Details
|start=Speak to the Gate Guard near [[Valen City]], at the gates of Valen City.
|released=9 July 2026
|members=Yes
|series=Valen City
|difficulty=Novice
|description=The Gate Guard needs assistance, and directs you to speak with Guard Captain Miller.
|requirements=Active Membership and 15 [[Mining]]
|items=A Pickaxe and health potion (e.g., Large Strong Health Potion)
|enemies=[[Goblin Villager|Goblin Villagers]] (Level 15), [[Goblin General]] (Level 55)
}}

== Walkthrough ==
To begin the quest, speak with the Gate Guard stationed near Valen Gate at the gates of Valen City. He will inform you that the gates cannot be opened and directs you to cross the bridge towards the Broken Village to speak with Guard Captain Miller for the full story.

Upon speaking with Captain Miller, he will ask for your assistance in locating three of his missing scouts: Harry, Walter, and Thomas. Before setting off to find them, it is highly recommended to bring a pickaxe and some strong healing items (such as a Large Strong Health Potion), as this quest concludes with a boss battle.

=== Finding the Scouts ===
The three scouts are scattered in the hills west of the Valen Gate:
* '''Harry:''' Head to the purple wooded fort near the [[Goblin Villager]] camp, west of Valen Gate. You will need to defeat Level 15 [[Goblin Villager|Goblin Villagers]] in this area until one of them drops a Guard Helmet, which serves as proof of Harry's fate.
* '''Thomas:''' From Harry's location, continue further west towards the cliffs. You will find Thomas stationed here; simply speak with him.
* '''Walter:''' Head back down the hill in the direction of Captain Miller. Along the path, look for a wooded area near a fork in the road, where Walter can be found sitting behind a rock.

</gallery>

=== Confronting the General ===
[[File:goblingenerallocation.png|thumb|right|300px|Location of the Goblin General's cave.]]
Once you have obtained the Guard Helmet and spoken to both Thomas and Walter, return to Guard Captain Miller to deliver the news. Miller will then instruct you to return to Thomas's location to clear a cave entrance blocked by rubble (requires Level 15 [[Mining]]).

Upon clearing the rubble and entering the cave, you will face off against the Level 55 [[Goblin General]]. Defeat him and collect the Goblin Goods to finish the quest.

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

== Quick Guide ==
# Speak to the Gate Guard at Valen Gate, outside Valen City.
# Cross the bridge towards the Broken Village and speak with Guard Captain Miller.
# Kill Level 15 [[Goblin Villager|Goblin Villagers]] at the purple fort west of Valen Gate until you receive the Guard Helmet.
# Head further west to the cliffs and speak with Thomas.
# Find Walter sitting behind a rock in the wooded area on the way back down towards Captain Miller.
# Return to Guard Captain Miller and hand over the Guard Helmet.
# Go back to Thomas's location and clear the cave rubble (requires 15 Mining).
# Enter the cave, defeat the [[Goblin General]], and collect the Goblin Goods to complete the quest.

== Rewards ==

Archery

2026-08-31T12:05:20Z

Run:

'''Archery''' is a combat skill in Winds of Valen. It features the use of bows and arrows, and is often paired with evasion armor.

== How to Train Archery ==

* Equip a bow.
* Equip arrows that are compatible with the equipped bow.
* Be in an '''Offensive stance''' (change this in the Stance tab, default hotkey: '''V''').

Once a bow and arrows are equipped, click on an enemy to attack. The character will fire an arrow from the equipped bow toward the selected target.

Arrows used for shooting must be placed in the '''Arrow Slot'''. This slot holds the arrows that will be fired. Extra arrows stay in your normal inventory until moved into the Arrow Slot. Each shot consumes one arrow, so make sure you have enough before combat.

Arrows can currently be purchased from the [[Archery Stall]] in [[Valen Gate]] and [[Valen City]].

=== Benefits of Training ===

* Improves accuracy and damage dealt with Archery weapons.
* Unlocks stronger bows and arrows.

=== Experience ===

* 25% of the experience gained from damage dealt is also applied to Health.
* Higher level enemies give more experience.

Archery

2026-08-31T11:53:40Z

Run:

'''Archery''' is a combat skill in Winds of Valen. It features the use of bows and arrows, and is often paired with evasion armor.

== Overview ==
How to Train Archery
- Equip a weapon that requires an Archery skill to use.
- Equip a type of arrows that is compatible with the equipped bow.
- Be in an Offensive stance.
(Can be changed in Stance tab. Default Hotkey: V)

Benefits of Training
- Improves your accuracy and the damage you deal with your Archery weapon.
- Unlocks stronger weaponry.

Experience
- 25% of the experience gained from the damage dealt is applied to Health.
- Higher level enemies give more experience.<div style="text-align: center; font-size: 200%; font-weight: bold;"></div>
== 🏹 How Archery Works ==

To use archery, players must first equip a '''bow''' and obtain '''arrows''' that are compatible with that bow. Arrows can currently be purchased from the [[Archery Stall]] in [[Town 1|Valen Gate]], while crafting arrows will be introduced in a future update.

Once a bow and arrows are equipped, players can attack enemies by clicking on them. When an attack is performed, the character fires an arrow from the equipped bow toward the selected target.

Arrows that are actively used for shooting are placed in the '''Arrow Slot'''. This slot holds the arrows that will be fired during combat. Any additional arrows remain in the player's normal inventory until they are moved into the Arrow Slot.

Each shot consumes one arrow from the Arrow Slot, so players should make sure they carry enough arrows before heading into combat.
