Third time’s the charm, it seems, asRune Slayerfinally saw the light of day. I expected it to be complex, but the sheer depth of the game took me by surprise. If you want to avoid spending a whole hour in the tutorial area (don’t ask) like I did, then you’ll need a helping hand and a bit of min-maxing. That’s precisely the reason why we’ve cooked up theessentialRune Slayerbeginner’s guide.

Rune Slayer Beginner’s Guide: Tips Before You Start
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s do a rundown of things you should or shouldn’t do when starting off inRune Slayer:
Now let’s start from the top and work our way down ‘till you’re ready to dominate and clown on your guildmates.
Rune Slayer Character Creation
To start ourRune Slayerbeginner’s guide, let’s first see how to create a character. Right off the bat, you need a character slot. The first slot is free, whileevery other after it costs 150 Robux. Also, your first character will be a common race (Human,ElforOrc). Once you’ve picked your slot, customize your character’s aesthetics.
Next,choose one of the classes(Archer, Warrior, Striker, Magician, Thief, Priest), depending on which race you roll.
After customizing the class and looks of your character, the game will prompt you todrag an ability into the action bar. I know it seems pointless, but it’s a nice way of teaching the player how to quickly use new abilities.
And voila, that’s it.Instead of spawning in the starting zone, this is your first character, which means the Rune Slayer tutorial area awaits.
How to Beat the Tutorial Area in Rune Slayer
Here’s a quick rundown ofhow to beat the Rune Slayer tutorialand learn the ropes at the same time.
You’ll spawn in what’s basically Darnassus from World of Warcraft.Head to the left immediately to pick up the Apples. Any type of food restores health, and you’re going to need it real soon.
Don’t miss the tips on the ground, either. Nice homage to LotR, I must say.
Next,engage the three skeletons. Make sure you may beat them relatively easily, otherwise, you’re in for a bad time at the end of the tutorial. My advice would be torely on blockinganduse your class’s strengthsto your advantage.
After the third skeleton, on the right side, you’ll find theCopper Axe. Don’t forget to pick it up, as it’sessential for crafting and gathering resources.
Now, for the final part of the Rune Slayer tutorial, you’re going to have to apply everything you learn to a very Dark Souls-like dragon boss, theVampiric Dragon Lord. He has acleave attack, afire breath AoEandhits hard. Make sure you parry every attack and dodge frequently.
If you’re playing as an Archer, you can cheese the Vampiric Dragon Lord. Just bring him back to the side passage at the third skeleton, and he’ll get stuck. Just spam away and he’s yours. Worried you can’t beat him? No need to be, you’ll spawn in Wayshire even if you die.
In the next part of ourRune Slayerbeginner’s guide, we’ll tackle some of the key things on your to-do list once you are done with the big bad dragon.
Key Tasks and Quests You Need to Complete
Once you spawn in Wayshire, all that’s left to do is complete the essential tasks needed to learn mechanics and unlock key features.
Some quest-givers have a conversation chain you need to complete to unlock the quest, but most have a question mark above their heads. Most of the quests aren’t essential to the story, but give you valuable XP, chances to farm resources and maybe even get drops.
To be finally ready to level up fast inRune Slayer, complete the following tasks and quests:

How to Sell Your Items in Rune Slayer
To sell items inRune Slayer, locateJohn the Merchantin the starting town ofWayshire. His stall is situated centrally within the town. Approach him to sell unwanted items from your inventory. Additionally, John offers various consumables and crafting materials for purchase.

There’s no better way to round out thisRune Slayerbeginners’ guide than to tackle tips for leveling fast. Once again, before starting, check out ourRune Slayerclass tier listto get the upper hand. Then, I would start by chopping up as many trees in the tutorial area as possible, just so you have a stash for later. Next, focus on:
That should be it for thisRune Slayerbeginners’ guide. You’ll be able to grind mobs, complete quests and grow more powerful with each kill. Unless you’ve rolled Orc, that is. But even Orc players will find ourRune Slayercodesuseful when you’re fresh out of Wayshire.
