Some years have passed since that bloody night in Oakvale and fate, it seems, has brought you to the steps of the Heroes’ Guild. Soon it will be time to forge your own path—but will it be one of darkness or one of virtue? Wherever your journey takes you, your first task is to sharpen your skills.
Your Training Begins
You can begin your training at any time by heading toward the Gold Quest marker on your mini-map. However, there’s plenty more to see and do around the Guild.
Now is a good time to try out your Expressions so spend a few minutes perfecting your farting prowess then head out to explore. Pay particular attention to the Guild’s bookcases, as some contain hefty tomes to add to your collection of Albion lore. There are numerous books in the ground-floor library, with three more waiting upstairs, alongside a Kryndon Tattoo.
You might also want to examine the first Silver Key Chest and Demon Door across the river, or try your hand at the side-quests indicated by the green dots on your map. Some, however, require you to have made progress in your training first.
Melee Combat
Your training begins at the combat ring, marked by the Gold Quest marker on your map. Talk to the Guildmaster and he’ll teach you the basics of combat. Hit the dummy seven times to earn your first weapon—the mighty Stick. Equip it and give the dummy another good thrashing.
