How can I start playing Estfor Kingdom?

You need to create your hero (If you need more information about heroes read the question below) If you skipped the game tutorial, recheck it. It's recommended to grind multiple skills to get an advantage in the clan battles. For each skill you have starter equipment in your inventory. For further development you can buy items from the in-game SHOP, the P2P trading bazaar or craft them yourself (or ask your clubmates). Each skill will be explained on the Estfor Advanced section.

Did you skip the in-game tutorial?

It should pop up when you first mint a hero. If you’ve skipped it, click on the home link, click Switch Hero and you should then see the tutorial button.

Which hero is the best?

There are 8 types of heroes on ESTFOR and all can be EVOLVED There is no "best choice". Each hero comes with different bonuses. Check HEROES to see each hero's EXP Bonus. Eventually you have to level up all of your skills to be able to play ESTFOR to its full potential. So, it's recommended to choose the one that appeals to you best. Feel free to join PaintSwap Discord if you have further Questions.

Is the character bonus applied during the entire game or only once the hero is created?

You get an EXP bonus for that hero for the whole game.

How can I buy a Hero?

You can use the PaintSwap Hero Market. You may also find what you need on Discord Trade talk.

Is it allowed to have multiple Heroes?

Yes, however, you should know only one ACTIVE hero per wallet address is accepted. You can create an unlimited amount of heroes per address or use an unlimited amount of addresses. For more information check the advanced part below.

Which skills are useful to level up first?

There is no true answer but here are some tips: If you are the type that prefers to make everything yourself: You have to cook foods to be able to fight and get drops to craft other items you will need in future thus fishing is one of those necessary skills besides cooking. If you don't know how much food is needed when you go on an adventure and need help, read the Estfor Advanced section below) If you prefer Melee/Ranged type of combat then mining, smithing and fletching are a must. Also, to make arrows you will need wood so woodcutting is needed here. And if you are into Magic combat, Alchemy is the way you should look to develop your skills and for that you also need PAPER so woodcutting is a must here as well. There are some other skills too but you don't need them initially. 2. If you are the type that prefers an easy way: As long as items are for sale, you can buy everything at the P2P Trading Bazaar and some items are also traded at PaintSwap. Do you need some items but can not find them on the Bazaar or PaintSwap? Then you can create your own offer or ask for it on ESTFOR Trading Talk on PaintSwap Discord.

What should I do after my hero did his 3 first actions?

You can save new actions and loot your items at the same time using "Save". Although you can loot manually, you have to pay a small gas fee for each looting and each saving of new actions.

My active Quest did not get completed despite doing the required action, Why?

There are two possible reasons You don't have the required items in your inventory. The solution is to get the items before looting or saving new actions You are not doing exactly as quest said, for example quest said to burn 3000 OAK LOGS but you are burning LOGS, You need to make sure to do what the quest asked you next time. If you think the problem is not what's mentioned above feel free to ask about it at PaintSwap Discord/Report-bug.

What is the relationship between EXP and level?

There's a formula for it but you can check the EXP needed for each level on skill page as well. Simplified, to add 10 levels, you double your current exp. Also, you will unlock more recipes as your level increases.

I've been gaining more EXP but my level seems to go up as slower than before, Why?

The EXP required increases for each level. However, as you progress in the game you unlock more powerful tasks that give you more EXP per hour, and thus will level up faster. Typically, levelling up from 50 to 100 will take a lot longer than 0 to 50.

Why I am getting less EXP despite fighting stronger monsters?

In short, you are not killing max spawned monsters per hour which means you are not getting max EXP. you can use the Deif's Estfor Plaza or Combat Calculator to find out your best match.

What happens if I get an item on my first action and my second action consumes it? Do I need to loot before queuing the next action?

No, your actions are taken in order. So if the 1st action finishes, the 2nd action will proceed as if the 1st action is claimed.

I don't have the items that my action consumes/needs, What should I do?

Simply transferring the missing items to your hero before claiming will solve it for you.

Anyone got some tips on the fastest way to increase my level?

There are a few tips to help: Using the Deif's Estfor Plaza or Combat Calculator to find the best way to grind your skills. You can also find these links on the Wiki Main Page. 2. Usually, as your hero levels up better actions unlock so you can gain more EXP. Check Skills page to see how much EXP each action gives. Also, keep in mind as you level up, more EXP will be needed as well. So, check the EXP/hr on the action you are doing, some give more EXP but worse rewards for instance. And check the quests too, some give bonus EXP. You can micro-manage tasks such that as soon as you level up and have access to the next action requirement, you can re-queue that. 3. Get boosts Boosts are explained as a separate Question below

How can I get Boosts?

There are multiple ways to get boosts. Item boost and daily EXP boosts: You can buy them from in-game "Item Shop". Also, there's a chance to get them on Sunday if you play the game all 7 days of the week. Clan Boost: Every 5000 brush contribution activates one 3-day boost. If you need more help there are some questions related to clan boost on Estfor Advanced. Wishing well: You get a 5% EXP boost and will have a chance to get a 10% boost the next day. By doing Wishing well you also contribute to activating a clan boost. Global Boost: Once global contributions meet brush requirements will activate it for all players.

I got Lucky Potion, what should I do?

Congratulations. You don't have to do the wishing again to activate it. Just queue your next action and it will get auto-activated.

How to make a treasure contribution?

Do the wishing well.

How does the Shop work?

You can only buy a few select items from it like boosts, but you can sell anything to it and those items just get burned and you get BRUSH rewards for it. The funds you get come from the Treasure, which gets its source in a few places like users buying from the shop, wishing well contributions, clan upgrades, player edits, losing vault battles, NFT royalties and a few other places.

How does the P2P Trading Bazaar work?

In the Bazaar, any game item can be traded with other players. You can create your own BUY or SELL order, or BUY/SELL from existing orders from others. The item prices are set by the players using a traditional order book style. This buying demand meets the selling demand to always trade items at the best price everyone agrees upon. If you buy/sell more units than are available in the order book for a certain level, a new order will be placed for that level for the remaining units. A maximum of 100 orders can be placed per price level and indicated with a * if full. New orders will automatically spill into the closest non-full level. BRUSH and NFTs gained from your filled orders can be claimed in the Trades section. Trading fees: 0.3% are burned, 0.3% goes to the development fund and 3% in royalty goes to clan territories. A total of 3.6%.

Could you please explain what Bought and Sold mean?

Bought means items bought from the shop. Sold means items sold to the shop.

Any list to check item's price in BRUSH token?

(  Number of unique items  /  Treasury brush amount ) /  Number of circulating supply = Shop sell price Essentially, if there are 100k BRUSH in the treasury and 300 unique items, each day an item can get 333 BRUSH just by selling in the shop (provided you own all those items).

Is it worth Evolving your hero early on in the game, or should I wait?

For clan wars it's a big boost, and you do get double EXP for certain actions depending on your hero. Your Evolved hero gets +1 point on each skill which means +16 total points when doing clan battles. Evolved heroes get access to advanced alchemy tasks and forging, which unlocks more powerful gear. Future content will be aimed towards evolved heroes.

Skills

Here you can find descriptions of skills and advanced information.

Forging

This is a skill for Evolved heroes that lets you break down items into Tiny Elixium and refine them into higher quality Elixium. Also, Elixium will be useful for alchemists as well. For leveling up your forging skills you have to get Tiny Elixiums. There are two ways to obtain that, first is to make basic items and get your own Elixium and second is to buy from the P2P Trading Bazaar. After you get your Tiny Elixium you have to start making small Elixium to level up and here are some tips you might find useful: 1. For beginners to obtain their Tiny Elixium can use Natuow Leather. 2. To reach level 15 you need about 2000 EXP. Why level 15? Because you will unlock better Elixium so can make more exp after that. 3. Each hour of Tiny Elixium Forging gives 10 EXP (Without considering EXP boosts). 4. Keep in mind to check related quests.

Fishing and Cooking

Fishing needs Nets that are buyable from in-game shop or you may find them on sale at a lower price in the P2P Trading Bazaar. Your hero starts with a (Net(with stick)) that is usable up to Feola. After that you need Medium Net up to Bowfish, and then Wood Fishing Rod up to Azacudda, and after that you need a Cage. Cooking just needs your fish to level up and unlock more. Cooking has some special rules that give you a higher chance to cook more fish the higher skill you have, but that also depends on what kind of fish you cook. To give an example: If you use 200 of X fish per hour and get 80 cooked fish as level 30 - The rate is at 40%. However, as you level up the maximum rate you can get is 90%, which means when your level is high enough to maximize your success rate you will obtain 180 cooked fish using 200 raw fish. To find out more about the success rate of each fish you can check Public Sheet on Discord.

Combat

There are 5 stats for Combatants. Attacks such as Melee, Magic, Ranged and also Defense and Health. You can fight in Attack or Defence mode. You gain 33% in health EXP of the total EXP gained from farming monsters, so about one-third. To maximize your EXP gained you need to get Max kills, you can check Monsters to see EXP rate and spawn rate. Also, you can check Deif's Estfor Plaza and Combat Calculator for advanced help. What's different between the attack modes? While all of them have their advantage, to fight your best match you have to know how to use Melee gears. Defence is what you should level up but for Rangers and Mages you just need to level up their attack-related stats to be able to wear the gears. Melee attack only makes you able to use better quality swords. The balance between Attack and Defence: For each attack level you will need 3 levels of Defence. Example: A Monster has 20 in melee attack which means your hero needs 60 attack points to almost defend itself. Don't forget to always supply your hero with food before each attack.

Mining and Smithing

Your hero gets basic equipment at its birth. The Bronze Pickaxe will be useful up to Iron ore, after that you need an Iron Pickaxe, Mithril Pickaxe, Adamantine Pickaxe, Runite Pickaxe, Titanium Pickaxe and at the end Orichalcum pickaxe. When you are done with mining it's time to move to smithing. Your new skill starts by making Bronze Bars and then bronze gears. Then unlock Iron and level up to get to the top on the leaderboard. Also, keep in mind that there are related quests as well.

Crafting

You will need to get your resources by Fighting Monsters or some of them by Smithing or even Woodcutting. Which makes this skill always in demand to buy or farm resources. Also, note there are related quests with rewards waiting for you.

Woodcutting and Firemaking

Woodcutting is next and the most necessary one to continue with the skills below. To chop strong trees and get better logs you will need to level up other skills besides Woodcutting. As you level up you will need better Axes which Crafters will be able to make and also some of them are dropped by killing monsters. The logs you get here will be used for Crafting, Firemaking, Alchemy and Fletching. Firemaking is not too necessary at the beginning but once Hell scroll is unlocked, Ash will be in need to do alchemy. There are related quests you might like to do through your journey.

Fletching and Alchemy

To start both of them you will need Hours of using Logs to get to level 10 so you can get to real work. Fletchers will need fighters for feathers, Miners and Smiths for arrowheads and Woodcutters for needed logs to start their work. On the other hand, Alchemists will only need Crafters for bonemeal to start their job and as their journey goes on they will need feathers, Skrimps, Ash and even Large bones to make Scrolls Also, there's Advanced Alchemy which uses Elixium and Flux to obtain some basic resources such as Ores, Logs, Papers, etc. There are related quests which can help you to level up your skills. Advanced alchemy(Forge) is available for Evolved heroes.

Thieving

To become the best Thief in the Estfor kingdom you need to practice hard not to get caught by security agents of The Kingdom. Start by stealing from kids, it might look vulgar but note your safety is important. Look at it as some practice before getting serious. Also don't forget to buy your related Set to gain more EXP and to get a better success rate. There's one related quest for now, check it out.
