Getting Started

So you have become a Denizen of the land of Templehelm. Due to the nature and design of this server, it can be a little difficult to get a foot-hold in the world. So this guide aims to take you though some initial things, and hopefully see you on your way to making friends and becoming famous - or infamous - in the land of Templehelm.

Choose your Class and Creed
If you haven't yet, one of the first things you will want to do is choose your starting Creed and Class, you can do this whenever you want, but some choose to do it after visiting some Factions and meeting other players in-game before deciding. When you are ready, use the command /warp choose and begin the Class and Creed Selection Process.

No-Build Zone
When you log into the world for the first time, you are in Planu Heath - this is the absolute center of Templehelm - The border of the world extends in all directions for 4000 blocks. Before you can build - or even find Mobs to kill - you will need to travel 1000 blocks away from Planu Heath. You will receive a message when you have gone far enough: "You are now leaving Planu Heath".

If you get stuck in a hole in the No-Build Zone - you can use the command /spawn or /suicide to return to the center of the world.

Explore a little
There are some things to see in the Planu Heath - and it might be a good idea to check out some of the things around this area. You can travel East to Anera, where you will find some weapons and Armour for sale. You can travel North-West to the Library, and further on to the Mages Tower.

Get Crimin
"Crimin" is the Templehelm currency.

You will start out with 2000 Crimin - This is not enough to afford the finer things in Templehelm, but should be enough to help with initial communication.

The first thing you should do is Get a Job - and then Vote for the Server for some extra Crimin.

Crimin will also be very handy when trying to find other Denizens to play and Adventure with.

Crimson Ingot uses Area Chat- this means that when you talk, it can only be heard 50 blocks away. You can talk further, but this will cost you Crimin - and at 100 Crimin for each global message - you will run out pretty quick.

Make Camp
Once you are out in the Wilderness - Set up a Camp and get together the basics. One thing you will definitely want is to get in a safe place and set your Spawn Bed (You can Right Click on a vacant bed to set this as your death respawn point.) and then create a Private Chest.

Find Denizens
Give a Global Shout out asking if anyone can meet you at spawn to perhaps give a bit of a tour. Maybe ask if there are any Factions taking Members. One place that Denizens appear to congregate around is the Unified Plaza. Find it on the map and head there. You ight also want to find a Faction on the Map and see if anyone is around there, If not - set up camp nearby, it's only a matter of time before a denizen arrives.

Introduce Yourself
Tell everyone a bit about yourself on the Forums, You will find that we are a friendly bunch - if you are looking for someone to join, just let us know, there is always someone out there looking for an apprentice or just someone to enjoy there time on the server with.

Read the User Guides
Crimson Ingot uses many varied and interesting plugins - it is recommended that you read all of the User Guides available on the Wiki.

Develop your Character
Crimson Ingot is a role-playing Minecraft Server, it is essential to know what that means. To role-play means to act out a part of a fictional character. So in order to properly role-play, one must know more about their character.


 * Put together an appropriate, medieval-styled Minecraft skin. This will take care of your character's physical aspect. Your Minecraft skin is not only the first thing your peers will notice, but also what they will remember you by. It is all the more important to build the right skin.


 * Come up with a back-story. Think about where your character came from, what they want out of life, what they stand for and how they behave etc.


 * Act. Good Roleplaying is like being an Actor and the Templehelm is the Stage. Find anyone to RP with. No one can teach you about how to act "right". There is no right nor wrong. Act as if you were this character you created - it can be quite liberating. Forget yourself and fully become the role that you have. If your RP is good-quality, others will join you. Anything can grow out from an RP: friendship, alliances, trade-relations, etc. - Even hatred can be developed - but it's all good, because it's all in-character and shouldn't affect your real feelings, just the feelings of the Character. That's the most important aspect of good RP - don't take anything personally. It's entirely possible for your character to hate one another in the RP, but for you and the player to be good friends.
