Should I start with endgame in mind?
Not for a first character. Pick a path that teaches the game first, then optimize after systems are stable.

Beginner guide: make the first build decision safer.
This guide explains the minimum context a new player needs before choosing a playstyle, mastery, build, or skill path.
Beginner guide path
- 1. Choose what feels fun
Start from melee, caster, ranged, pet, or hybrid.
- 2. Keep difficulty honest
Choose easy or balanced until systems are familiar.
- 3. Follow one build path
Do not scatter early skill and gear decisions.
Common beginner blockers
Should I pick hybrid early?
Only if complexity is the point. Most beginners should start with a clearer class direction.
