New Character
Your first job as a new player, if your not familiar with the PvP aspect of the game, is to get some easy bank. In Kanahira, one of the first islands safe zones, there is an NPC at what seems to be a graveyard, talking to him will let you deliver a box to the other islands safe zone, Okaku. Unlock delivering it to that end quest NPC you will gain 1.5k Yen, after which you should either buy a Tanto, Gauntlet Set 1 or a Kenjutsu weapon depending on what stat you want to increase first. Since you won't have much try to go for the bronze weapons as Iron weapons (made by players) tend to be pricey. Depending on what life skill you wish to progress in first, you should purchase the required equipment for example: an Axe for woodworking or a Pickaxe + Torch for mining. ONLY DO LIFE SKILLS AT DAY TIME since you can farm the bandit quest at night to get those sweet sweet souls. The bandit quest is located to the right of Okaku towards bandit outpost B, you have to kill 10 Bandits that only spawn at night and in random areas, in return you get 6k Yen + a blue fruit that gives some souls when consumed. It should also be noted that you spawn in with 8 Souls/Potential and have 8 Skill Points, reaching 0 Souls will wipe you and you will reset back to 8 with all other stats wiped.

It is highly recommended you kill non-player creatures including bandits and get used to the combat system prior to attempting any form of PvP, unless you have a friend training you.

Yen
Yen is the games primary currency system, it is a reward from most quests and trade able for items either game made or player made items. This game is heavily driven through a player based economy, the initial starting equipment (bronze/tier 1) are game made meaning they are a fixed price, it shows this by being a [99999] at the start of the item in the marketplace. It is recommended that you heavily invest your energy into a life skill so you to can make some bank.

Basic Classes
This should be your soul aim aside from Yen in form of progression, you should aim to attain at least 1-2 skills from your selected one. Basic classes can be mixed with others so hybriding is a big thing, they include: Tantojutsu (study of the Japanese dagger), Taijutsu (study of the fist), and Kenjutsu (study of the Japanese sword). You can view more on this by clicking on their links in this paragraph.

Advanced Classes
This should be your secondary aim, this is what makes your build more special, giving you unique abilities like harnessing your soul power to switch entity's, to generate an over-whelming aura around you. Unlike basic classes you can only have 1 advanced class so pick wisely, you can view the current list of advanced classes here.

Life Skills
Life Skills are extra skills separate from your normal Basic and Advanced class skills, they do not cost any SP (Skill Points) so if you want to you can get every life skill maxed out with no repercussions, although that would take a while. Life skills are the most common Yen income for the higher graded player base and include: Woodworking (selling boats), Leatherworking (selling clothing and bags), and Blacksmithing (selling weapons). To view the requirements for each of these Life Skills please click on their links.

Combat Tips
Stay vigilant and on guard at all times, you never know what your next encounter could be so make sure you always have at least 1-2 pieces of food on you and a semi full hunger bar (don't waste food!). The following are some ways to get better at the games combat system and spar with friends. To view a more extended list of exercises please click here.

Parkour
While this may seem like somewhat of a chore at first trust me, it helps. Not only with maneuverability in combat but also how to and when to dash.

Perfect Block Training
Different clans have different ways of doing this one, some may get you to go on a website and practice your reaction times, others will just go straight into it. The main focus is that you don't spam block and only block when you need to or feel like an attack might happen, as spamming block will only allow your enemy to parry you easily.

Hand to Hand Sparring
Within wars with other clans/long fights your equipment will be HEAVILY worn out and might possibly even break, especially if you die and re-spawn with nothing. Even if your class/build relies on something other than the fist it's still useful to train through using it.

Combat Training
This one is almost a given, most clans do it, it's often done by un-equiping your armor and picking up either a bronze/tier 1 weapon (often to make the sparring match last longer). Combat training takes main priority out of anything in the game, so if you have spare time and spare food try fighting your team mates in a controlled area.
