Myth of Empires is a sandbox survival game rich with crafting, building, exploration, and combat. With so many systems at play, your first few hours can feel overwhelming. To help you get started on the right foot, here’s a comprehensive list of tips drawn directly from in-game experience, designed to guide new players through character creation, resource gathering, survival, and base building.

Getting Started: Character and Server

1. Choose the Official Game Server to begin.
2. After connecting, customize your character using the flexible creation system.
3. When picking a starting zone, select a forest biome for easier access to early-game resources.

Early Gathering and Crafting

4. Grass is your most essential early resource—collect it from tall white-topped plants.
5. Don’t sprint while gathering; wait to finish collecting before moving.
6. Open your inventory with “I” by default, or change it to something more convenient like “Q.”
7. The crafting menu shows unavailable items in grey and what materials you need to unlock them.
8. Use A to quick-craft multiple items like straw rope directly from the crafting menu.
9. Prioritize crafting a stone axe and stone hammer early.
10. Gather branches and rubble from the ground to make your first tools.
11. After crafting, drag items to your hotbar for quick access.

Efficient Resource Collection

12. Use the stone hammer on rocks to collect rubble and sand faster.
13. Use the stone axe on trees for bark and branches instead of foraging.
14. Once a tree falls, it fully disappears, keeping your building area clean.

Skills and Progression

15. Open the Skills tab to see how you’re leveling categories like lumbering and physique.
16. Higher skill levels grant resource bonuses (e.g., +20% to branch and bark yield).
17. Use expertise points to specialize in areas like crafting, armor, or weapons.
18. Tailor your build—put points where it supports your current goals (e.g., bows, crafting).

Guilds and Quests

19. Even solo players should create a guild to access flags and basic bonuses.
20. Customize your guild flag with colors and patterns.
21. Use the L key to view active and completed quests.
22. Quests offer strong XP rewards, so keep up with daily tasks.

Food, Survival, and Status Bars

23. Early food source: locusts, found by foraging in bushes.
24. Don’t attack neutral animals like foxes or boars until you’re ready—they hit hard.
25. Craft a campfire to cook locusts into edible grilled food.
26. Place logs in the fuel slot and food in the cooking queue.
27. Use the Consumables tab in the fire UI to find grillable food.
28. Hunger (blue), energy (yellow), and health (red) are your primary survival stats.
29. Eat grilled meat to refill the hunger bar quickly.
30. Meat will rot into putrid meat if left uncooked too long.

Tips for Movement and Efficiency

31. Hold Shift to sprint, but rest when stamina (yellow bar) runs low.
32. Control + T hides the global chat if it gets distracting.
33. Use M to open the map, and right-click to place markers.
34. Delete markers with Control + Right-click.

Basic Combat and Hunting

35. Craft a crude wooden bow and stone arrows for early hunting.
36. Crouch (C) to approach animals without spooking them.
37. Stay still after spooking a deer—they calm down and stop again.
38. Aim for open fields when hunting to avoid losing line of sight.
39. Use the axe to harvest dead animals for meat and hide.

Inventory and Storage

40. Hold Alt + Right Click to transfer stacks to storage quickly.
41. Use a chest or storage container to prevent weight issues.

Building Basics

42. Start with wooden foundation blocks, which are large 4-piece sections.
43. Use T while placing walls to cycle through types (door, window, fence).
44. Snap sloped roofs to walls and rotate with T for corners or inside/outside fits.
45. Use E on placed objects to destroy or move them.
46. Demolished structures return some materials—recycle instead of wasting.

Weapons, Energy, and Managing Combat

47. Make a wooden spear for close-range combat and hunting support.
48. Manage your stamina—when overexerted, slow down to let it regenerate.
49. Dying early game isn’t the end—novice protection lets you revive on the spot.
50. After reviving, press R to loot your body and recover all your gear instantly.
