"Rune Slayer: Beginner's Ultimate Guide"

Author : Carter Mar 26,2025

After two failed launches and months of eager anticipation, *Rune Slayer* has finally hit the scene, and it's nothing short of glorious. Whether you're a seasoned MMORPG player or a newcomer, diving into *Rune Slayer* can be both exhilarating and a bit overwhelming. Fear not, we've put together a comprehensive guide to help you navigate your journey in this captivating world.

Rune Slayer Beginner Tips

Here are essential tips that would have made our initial journey much smoother:

Do not randomly attack other players

When we first heard about *Rune Slayer*'s full-loot PvP, we braced for chaos. However, the reality is a bit different. **When you die in *Rune Slayer*, you don’t lose anything**—you simply respawn and continue playing. But there's a catch: **attacking other players increases your bounty**. The higher your bounty, the more items you drop upon death. To avoid turning the game into a full-loot PvP experience, **refrain from attacking other players** unless absolutely necessary or if you're part of a coordinated group.

Craft Bags ASAP

Space management is key in *Rune Slayer*, with both your bank and inventory filling up quickly. To manage this, **craft bags** as soon as possible. You can equip two bags at a time, starting with the **Cotton Bag**. Gather **Cotton from north of Wayshire and Flax from the south** (watch out for mobs in the south). Each Cotton Bag adds 10 slots to your inventory, so prioritize crafting them early.

Your pets don’t actually die

There's a common misunderstanding that pets die permanently in *Rune Slayer*. In reality, **when a pet's health reaches zero, it can't be summoned for 5 minutes**. You can check this cooldown by holding T. Once the time's up, hold T again to summon your pet back. A quick tip: **to heal your pet, store and unstore it at the stable master** using your one free slot.

Grab all the Quests (Yes, all of them)

*Rune Slayer* is packed with quests, most of which are not repeatable and can blend together. To streamline your progress, **accept every quest you encounter**, including those from the Job board. Completing multiple quests simultaneously is more efficient and often allows you to knock out several objectives at once. You'll be surprised at how many quests you can complete without even realizing it.

Craft everything at least once (even things you don’t need)

While it's important to craft what you need, don't hesitate to use **spare materials** to craft items you might not immediately require. **Crafting items for the first time can unlock new, more powerful crafting options**. For example, smelting your first Iron Ore might unlock a range of Iron Armor crafts. So, experiment and craft away to expand your crafting capabilities.

Join a Guild

*Rune Slayer* is designed to be solo-friendly, but as you delve deeper, you'll encounter **challenging enemies** meant for group combat. **Joining a guild** is the easiest way to find teammates to tackle these foes. Use in-game chat or the official *Rune Slayer* Discord server to find a guild that suits you.

And that's all you need to get started. Enjoy your adventure in *Rune Slayer*, and don't forget to check out the *Rune Slayer* Trello and Discord for additional resources and community support.
