Goal: learn the basic loop and reach level 5 without dying.

• You start with Seal of Righteousness, Holy Light and Devotion Aura. Always keep an aura and a seal active.
• Level 4: Judgement and Blessing of Might from the trainer in Northshire Abbey. Put Might on yourself – it lasts an hour.
• Pull: seal up → run in → Judgement once you are in range → auto-attack.
• Use the weapon you start with until you find a two-handed weapon with clearly higher DPS. Compare the DPS in the tooltip, not just the item color.
• Vendor gray junk. Save linen cloth for First Aid.

Checkpoint level 5: are you sitting down to drink after every other mob? If so: fewer Holy Light between fights, more food.

Goal: learn range control and get out of the starting area without dying.

• Trainer in Shadowglen according to Hearthproof: Mardant Strongoak. Learn new ranks every other level.
• Basic loop: Mark of the Wild on yourself → Wrath at range → another Wrath if the enemy is still far away → finish with your weapon to save mana.
• Level 4: Moonfire and Rejuvenation. Apply Moonfire while the enemy runs toward you; Rejuvenation ticks while you fight.
• Sit down and eat/drink only when your mana is below roughly a third – not after every mob.

Checkpoint: level 5–6, Moonfire and Rejuvenation learned, at least one weapon upgrade from quests.
