Souls of Elysium

Souls of Elysium starter guide.

1. Download the game (You must use the SoE Game Client to play)
2. Start the game
Starting the game will download all game files.
3. Close the game

Before you start playing it is recommended that you download the base map.
This package includes the base map only. Custom areas must be explored or downloaded separately.

Navigate to the directory on your PC: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Souls of Elysium\SoERPG. The AppData folder is hidden by default so if you can't find it you need to show hidden folders.
Paste the downloaded minimap772.otmm file into the directory.
Note: the game must be closed when updating the map, otherwise the game will replace the map next time it is closed.

1. Log into your character,
2. Open the Autoloot window and add common items like gold.
3. Go to Cipfried and ask for TASK,
4. Go kill rats either directly under main square, or near doublet quest, (it may be best to go to the sewers on the south on start of new server),
5. Pick up rats to sell at Tom,
6. Finish the task and buy as many spears as you can.
7. You can right click full stacks of gold to turn them into higher currency just by right clicking them, save the cap! [100 gold → 1 platinum coin]

1. Second tasks will be to kill spiders, get your trusty spear and kill them.
2. Kill the spiders, return to Cipfried at once to give the task back.
3. Take next task for the bugs, go slay bugs and return once again.
4. Once you're done with tasks from Cipfried you'll already have few spiders and bugs.
5. Get level 8 and go to mainland ASAP, last Cipfried task will reward you with box with starter gear.

1. Once you're in the temple run into Leo's Enclave and ask Leo for task.
2. Visit Grizzly Adams and pick up task for Trolls and Rotworms.
3. You should by now have task for spiders, bugs, Rotworms and trolls.
4. Complete them as fast as possible starting with Trolls, bug spiders.
5. Once you're done with Trolls go back to Leo and ask again for the task, it will be Rotworms.
6. Find some comfy cave and slaughter the Rotworms.
7. Coal is very important in crafting, always pick it up!

1. There's no simple solution how to continue, so I can only give tips how to proceed further:
2. Early quality items such as rare/epic/legendary can provide you with powerful boost, always check loot!
3. Buy Mining Pick [1500 gp] as soon as possible, you will find plenty of mining spots to begin skilling.
4. Don't skip simple tasks like Scorpions or deer/snakes etc. plenty of task offer good cash for very little work. And cash is the king of early game.
5. Don't be afraid to visit bottom floor of the Leo's Enclave to see the crafting for some early items.
6. Radiant wands/rods are key to early-game mages(crafted wands which use no mana to attack). Save the mana for runes, you'll need 'em to power-level.
7. Crafting creates unidentified items, it costs 5k GP to ID them, but it might create you powerful early item advantage. You can buy ID scroll at Eremos island from Edron.
8. Premium accounts gives 10% more EXP, use it well.
9. Starting at level 20 you'll gain Hourly Tokens (1 per 1 hour) which can be used to buy some backpacks, gemboxes and exp scrolls, try to get to level 20 as fast as possible even if you intend mostly to skill.
10. Premium also makes Diabolics drop Skull Coins, which can be used at skull coins shop
11. Gemboxes can be either used up for gems or sold to players, premium points can often go longer way than small damage boost for early game, although both have pros and cons.
12. Fishing while skilling will provide you with food and possibly once you fish enough with additional healing source or mana source.
13. Once you're around level 30+ try to find a group for Challenge of Elysium I. Be careful tho, once you click on the chest some “adventurers” might want to take it from you. The teleport will take you away to safety of Temple (or your “friends” will send you there without BP).
