We’re taking an early look at someCube World Beginner’s Tipsto get you started on your quest! The game is a bit different than most people remember and doesn’t play out in the standard RPG-ish adventure game style that you might be used to. We’ll hopefully provide you with some initial guidance that can help wrap your mind around how best to play the game!
Leveling Up
You do not gain experience from killing monsters. Yes, that’s weird. Leveling up is actually not currently that important in terms of progressing your character. Gear and items are far more important and will help boost your damage and survivability. You CAN level up though, it’s just in the form of Artifacts you find in the game. However, leveling up at the moment does not seem to serve a purpose.
Items & Gear Are Region Locked
This is another oddity in Cube World. The majority of the items you find in an area are locked to that area. What that means is that if you enter a different region of the map, that gear will not be usable in that region. If you go back to the region you got the gear in previously, you will again be able to use that gear. Some gear can be used in multiple regions, you will know that this is the case if you see a + next to the name. That gear is locked to a greater range, and is supposedly usable from anywhere in that particular kingdom.
Enemy Difficulty is Color Coded
The difficulty of an enemy is based on a color code system. Their name will be one of the following colors: white, green, blue, purple, yellow. The easiest difficulty is white and the hardest difficulty is yellow. You will pretty much only want to focus on killing white named creatures until you find some more gear.
Looking for Your Friends? Find a Town Flight Master!
If you want to meet up with your friends in game, you will have to get to a town and find the Flight Master. This will allow you to fly to the area they are in which will be free. You can also fly to other areas for a price! The Flight Master is represented by the wing icon on your map if you’re in a town.
How-to Change My Class Specialization?
If you want to change your Class Specialization, you’ll need to go to a town and talk to the Guild Receptionist. They are marked via a Crown on the map. You just need to talk to them and you’ll have the option to swap your specialization.
Zoom Out From My Character?
While it doesn’t immediately seem like you can do this, you can actually press and hold CTRL and use your mouse-wheel to zoom in and out away from your character!
Restart Until You’re Near a Town (Updated)
Being near a town is super important, so I would just create a character and take a look around the map. Look for a town that is nearby, it should look something like this:
You might not need to do this now because a patch was added that should spawn you near a town.
