Introduction

Welcome to the world of zGaming. Before entering the game, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the initial guides, such as the class guide, how to use your resources, and where and how to level up. This will greatly simplify your knowledge of the game and eliminate many doubts in the beginning. 🙂

Account creation and server selection

Account creation on zGaming is automatic, all you have to do is enter a login and password to log in. If this login has not been created by another player, you will have the account created and can start creating your character. Remember to only enter letters and numbers for your login, email is not accepted and you will have problems creating it if you enter one.

Once you have created your account, it will be saved in a list of accounts on your login screen, so you can easily log in to the game later by simply clicking on your account shown in the list.

Character selection

If this is your first contact with the game, be sure to read the guides on which classes and itens you can choose (there are many, if you look on YouTube) and you can also check out our class guide.

Many characters can be improved with adequate investments in boosts. Others are self-sufficient and with a minimum donation for a starter kit can be maintained without problems.

There are also some important points to consider:

  • Mages have a hard time with mana, they need an initial investment in MP potions to maintain their progression.
  • It's difficult for melee classes to reach mobs in some places, so not all locations are suitable for melee classes.
  • Some classes improve their farm by obtaining skill spellbooks.

The simplest character to get to grips with at the moment is Shillien Saint (Dark Elf Mage). It has many advantages that will greatly simplify the quality, but you can still choose absolutely any character. They're all self-sufficient, they all deal damage, they all have auto-buffs.

In addition, the game will soon feature the function of changing a character's class via Item - Class Change Ticket Coupon. If you change your mind and are too lazy to create a new character, you can change class. All the books you have learned will remain in the old class and when you return to it they will also be available.

Interface

Let's take a look at some of the menus and buttons you'll see immediately when you enter the game.

  1. Skills panel
     
    Here you need to place (drag with the left button pressed) your buffs/debuffs, attack skills, actions and consumable itens (you can drag from your skill list and inventory). If you can't add or move a skill/item, click on the padlock at the bottom right of the menu.
  2. Auto-Hunting Menu

Games activities

Useful tips

  • Tip 1: Choose someone from the partner streamer program that you like the most and sign up using their Referral ID. You'll receive a series of rewards for reaching levels and completing objectives. You must enter the code when you first enter the game.
  • Tip 2: Connect our Telegram and/or Discord bot to monitor your character's activity. The bot will notify you if your character dies during Auto-Hunting or is disconnected from the server
  • Tip 3: If you experience lags when visiting different activities or populated locations, disable the display of shadows in the video settings, reduce the display radius of NPCs, mobs and other characters. If you still have problems, disable the options for skill animations and soulshots in the "Performance Settings".
  • Tip 4: Immediately try to find a clan in the game or on the Discord server. This will make it easier to understand the game if there are players in the clan who are willing to give you tips, it will also speed up your character's progression due to the clan's passive abilities.
  • Tip 5: If you can't enter a skill, action or item in the skills panel, check the padlock in the bottom right-hand corner of the skills panel, it locks and unlocks the use of the slots.
  • Tip 6: You can save Spirit Ore without using unnecessary enhancement skills (magic doesn't increase physical attack and physical critical hits and vice versa). If you run out of Scroll: Boost Attack or Boost Defense and the mobs are difficult to defeat, return to your previous farm location and continue leveling up there.
  • Tip 7: Don't miss the Trancendent Instance Zone e Aden Kingdom Defense every day - this is the best way to level up quickly in the lower levels. The faster you level up, the faster all the game's activities become available.
  • Tip 8: Don't miss out on the daily and weekly activities, take part in the events. This will help strengthen your character's equipment and speed up your farm.
  • Tip 9: Visit and read our guides, consult more experienced players in the game and on our Discord, our community can help you learn about the game even faster.
  • THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP: Enjoy the game. Study, experiment, don't chase the main donors. Play for fun!
