At level 1, go 4 north from the temple, then east into the Newbie Zone.

'Consider' before attacking.

The creepy crawlers are the easiest.

At level 1 don't open doors. There are aggressive mobs inside who will kill you with one hit. Stay in the corridor, kill the crawlers, go back to the temple to sleep, repeat.

At level 1, if you're at all wounded, no matter how little, run back to the temple to sleep it off. You don't have enough health to fight while wounded.

If you're a Mage, once you have ChillTouch the baby dragon is cake. At level 6 you can open the SE door to the Alchemist and ChillTouch him. This spell is pretty much all I've needed in the newbie zone.

BTW ChillTouch cuts the victim's armor in half, so, awesome.

The two rooms you reach from the north-east corner are both dark. Cast 'infravision' or bring a lantern from the general store.

Please always close doors. If you leave them open, higher-level aggressive NPCs like the Minotaur will wander into the intro area where first-level newbies need to be - and kill them. It's important to get into the habit of closing Newbie Zone doors behind you.

The Newbie Alchemist has a glow-in-the-dark jar which is a light source. Kill him, take the jar. When you hold the jar it lights.

There's no way to close the exit down from the Alchemist's lab. This is DANGEROUS. The Minotaur could wander in while you're fighting the Alchemist. If you need to flee, you may flee down into the underground maze.

Always be sure to have a Scroll of Recall with you. If you flee down there or get lost down there you can zap back to the Temple. Scrolls are for sale in the magic shop on Main Street in downtown Midgaard.
