ArcheAge Chronicles guides
These guides answer the questions the store page leaves open: the first hour, where points go, whether other players can hit you, how to stand on the same channel as a friend, and what the US$29.99 price does not include.

If the client just finished downloading, use the beginner page, then character creation if the gender lock is the thing blocking you. If a number on a build site confused you, the stats page separates attribute points from Coilstone trait points. The wiki index is the entity catalog; this page is the explainers.
- Beginner: first town, first statue, known launch bugs.
- Stats and gear: six attributes, three points a level.
- PvP: peace channels versus conflict channels.
- Multiplayer: same server, party of four, keys are personal.
- Fishing: one hidden quest, not a profession.
- Housing: confirmed to exist; plot prices are one source.
- Pay to win: buy-to-play, no required sub.
