Welcome to Return of Reckoning. This guide points you from your first launch to the activities and reference pages you may need. You do not need to learn every system at once.

Want more detail? Continue with the [[New Player Guide]] for a fuller walkthrough.

== Start here ==
# Install the game using the [https://forums.returnofreckoning.com/install official download and installation page]. The launcher uses a Return of Reckoning website account. If you do not have one, [https://account.returnofreckoning.com/register create an account]. For launcher or connection problems, visit the [https://forums.returnofreckoning.com/viewforum.php?f=4 Technical Support Center]. Use the current install guide rather than older pinned installation topics.
# Create a character: read [[Character Creation]], then browse [[Careers]] to find a class that interests you. Career pages provide detailed abilities and playstyle information.
# Get oriented: open the Tome of Knowledge (K), choose the Quest tab, and check the quests you want to follow in the Quest Tracker. See [[Quests#Quests_in_The_Tome_of_Knowledge|how to use the Quest tab and tracker]]. [[Zones]] maps the campaign regions by tier and faction pairing.
