Your first hour on Rookgaard

Do these in order: bag, tools, one weapon, one set of clothes. Then win one easy fight. Everything below is real shop and item data — and none of it needs a level.

Packing checklist

No level requirements exist for items in our data. The only gate is gold. Prices are what shopkeepers charge.
