Crowfall was finally released on July 6 after a lengthy crowdfunding process that proved to be immensely successful. Crowfall plays similarly to most other MMORPGs, with many players likening the game to World of Warcraft, which is far from a small, niche MMORPG. Although Crowfall has similarities to other MMORPGs, there are key differences that might give new players some trouble.
Like other MMOs, Crowfall is easy to pick up, but hard to master. There are an increasing number of aspects in Crowfall to keep track of while leveling up and taking on objectives. Although the game might seem daunting at first, it becomes much easier to understand once players have the right information. Here is a streamlined guide to getting started in Crowfall.
Before entering the world of Crowfall, players must create a new character. Don’t put too much stock into which race or class to choose at first. It will become more relevant once players start to specialize, but as a novice, it’s a good idea to just choose what looks interesting. Players can't change their class at any point, but it is possible to respec other attributes of a character in Crowfall. Players will learn how to navigate the world and best specialize their character throughout the NPE (New Player Experience) from levels 1-30.
Once players have created a character, load it into a server and begin the game in the Temple area. The first thing players will see is an NPC named Guillermo. It is highly recommended players follow the questline that starts with Guillermo. Players can also just hop in the world and start leveling up but following the questline will introduce the concepts of the game in a fun way. After finishing the questline, players’ characters should be about level 30. If players have VIP status (unlocked by paying the optional Crowfall monthly subscription), a “Jump Start” pedestal is available in the Temple. This pedestal allows players to jump directly to level 25.
After level 30, the gameplay is generally focused on getting better gear for characters. Equipment, and even a character’s body, is upgradeable. Seeking better equipment makes players more efficient in battles, whether it be PvE or PvP. The initial gameplay loop for acquiring better gear is farming NPCs for gold and drops, however, at a certain point players will need to harvest and craft to get better items and disciplines. At this point, it’s important to work with other players to maximize efficiency in Crowfall. The easiest way to work with players is by joining a guild! Find a guild that helps new players and ask them questions. Any guild worth their salt will be eager to aid.
Harvesting and crafting become essential later in Crowfall, so it’s important to start working at them early. No matter which type of harvesting is acquired from a vendor inside the Temple, that harvesting skill is not leveled up linearly. Instead, players level up harvesting by advancing the items currently being worn by a character. Basically, players level up their equipped gear, not the harvesting skill itself. Crafting uses resources to craft recipes and is leveled up by crafting more advanced items and finding more disciplines. Some of the best gear and weapons in the game are acquired by crafting, so learning how to craft is infinitely useful in Crowfall. If this seems like a surplus of information to keep track of when starting out, don’t worry; the NPE questline from levels 1-30 will teach players aspects like harvesting and crafting in a hands-on fashion. While it is a good idea to keep beginner’s tips & tricks in mind, nothing can replace the information learned in Crowfall’s New Player Experience.
Crowfall is available on PC.
