QUICK ANSWER

Set your Hage spawn, inspect Inventory for a whole Crystal Mana, and follow the opening-reward or code branch below before paying for travel. Once one whole crystal is confirmed, visit Grimoire Tower and learn the first usable book. Then track Tony’s three-bandit quest and your next level-appropriate task. Normal Spins, fragments and notifiers are not interchangeable with a tower crystal.

Before the tower: find your first whole Crystal Mana

Check the resource before buying travel or trying to reroll. The tower recording spends one item named Crystal Mana; ordinary Spins and a Crystal Notifier are different rewards. The following is a free opening checklist with branches, not a promise that every current account receives the same starter chest.

The E / Read prompt includes a crystal icon x1. Above it, a notification says Item removed [Crystal Mana] x1. The right panel is labelled YOUR GUARANTEES and TOWER CHANCES. It explicitly says Roblox Plus: these counts are already 30% shorter.

A short route you can actually finish

These are useful early checkpoints, not a claim that every new account receives the same tutorial in the same order. If a current tutorial gate appears, complete that gate before continuing.

PC controls for the next step

These controls appear in the inspected PC HUD and hub reference. A book’s skill bindings are listed separately on its own guide. Mobile prompts can differ.

Find an early quest by NPC and level

Choose a quest you can finish, press Track and accept the task at the NPC. Watch its objective counter, then return to the quest giver or follow the completion prompt. If you want to repeat it, check whether the NPC offers it again rather than assuming the reward repeats automatically.

Use a visible quest objective, not guesswork

Tony’s quest is a concrete starting point: the inspected screen places him next to the bandit field and shows a three-bandit objective. Accept the quest before fighting so you can watch its counter change.

Use one short quest to learn your basic attacks, range and resource use. If you struggle, improve how consistently you finish it before using a random reroll as the solution. The reward amounts on another player’s screen can include bonuses, so compare your own displayed reward.

Spins and crystals do different jobs

You can inspect the three character-roll categories through the Hage Priest. They do not replace the Grimoire Tower system. The Mana Crystal guide explains the difference and acquisition options.

SpinsRace, Social Class and Trait rollsSelect the correct category before spending.

YulsShops and travel servicesRead the price on your own account; filmed prices may include modifiers.

Buy for the next task

The Starter Shop screen contains a Wood sword, Uncommon Bait and a Fishing Rod. If your immediate plan is quest combat, buying fishing supplies will not solve your current fight. If you want a fishing and crafting session, remember to check both the rod and bait.

The source recording has a large shop-price modifier. We use the screenshot to identify the stock, not to advertise those displayed prices as normal prices for every player.

Keep your build decisions together

The inspected Profile screen separates Strength, Stamina, Gun, Power, Sword and Health. That is a reason to read your own skill requirements before allocating points: a point in one category is not automatically useful to another weapon or ability.

Write down your current book and passive choices in the build planner. Change one thing at a time when comparing results. It is easier to judge an upgrade when you repeat the same quest instead of comparing completely different encounters.

Questions players ask

How do I get my first Grimoire without buying crystals?

Inspect Inventory and the actual tutorial/opening reward first. A community launch guide reports a supplied Normal Chest leading to a Medium Chest and a crystal, but this is not independently verified for current fresh accounts. Check developer-listed code rewards, confirm a whole Crystal Mana and inspect the tower Read cost. World pickups and eligible crafting are alternatives, not guaranteed instant level-one routes.

Should I reroll until I get the rarest race before playing?

A rare race is not necessary to start the illustrated Hage route. Choose a resource budget, learn your current setup and spend when you know what you want to improve.

Why does my quest give a different amount of EXP?

The footage belongs to another account and an older game build. Account bonuses and updates can change the displayed amount. Use the reward shown on your own quest panel.

Where do I find the broom quest?

The October 3 Quests / Npcs menu lists Learning to Fly under Broom Master Elsie, with a level 11 requirement and a Track button. Our broom guide shows that exact screen.
