Introduction Re:Legend, currently in early access, merges the charm of farming simulators like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon with the excitement of monster hunting and taming. While the game is still evolving, this guide will focus on the core mechanics to help new players get started smoothly. Expect updates to this guide as the game develops.

Getting Started: Equipping and Combat Basics At the start, the game provides a basic set of weapons and armor with a mission to rescue an NPC. Equip these quickly by double-clicking them and head out to the combat zone. Learning to manage combat early is crucial, especially target locking (middle-click) and attack selection (scroll to pick targets). Pay attention to the red indicators signaling enemy attacks and use the space bar to dodge.

After defeating the initial enemies, the game directs you to rest, which introduces the save and sleep mechanics. This sequence is essential as it leads to the farm tutorial with the mayor.

Early Game Tips: Selling Gear for Gold A vital tip for new players is to immediately sell the beginner gear after the mayor’s tour. Throw everything except the new tools into the bin for a quick 900 gold. Timing matters here—sell your items before Gunther arrives to collect them.

Restoring Stamina: Hot Springs Trick Breaking open the hot springs with a pickaxe (35 hits required) allows you to restore stamina at no cost. This is a game-changer, especially for crafting and farming tasks that consume a lot of stamina.

Crafting Essentials Gather six logs, stones, and branches as a minimum to start crafting armor. The crafting minigame is straightforward but missing three times means you’ll lose stamina, not materials.

Exploration and Secrets: Finding the Rune of Haste A hidden tip for new players is the Rune of Haste, which grants a temporary speed boost. Swim south and east from the South Pasture to find it in a concealed alcove.

Farming 101: Preparing for Festivals Farming is a core part of Re:Legend. Plant and water seeds quickly, but prioritize getting khayrat seeds for the festival on the 10th of Spring for a valuable cash prize.

Fishing Guide: How to Catch Co-Stars Efficiently Fishing is a profitable side activity. Aim for five to six co-stars daily, which are essential for taming Magnus or selling for profit. The fishing minigame requires patience and mastering the balance between reeling in and avoiding rod breaks.

Taming Magnus: The Art of Monster Friendship Feeding meat to the Draco Newt and completing the taming minigame allows you to secure your first Magnus. Building a bond and feeding your Magnus enhances their abilities and unlocks evolutions.

Stats and Leveling: How to Allocate Points Leveling up grants two points per level. Focus on damage, defense, and luck for melee builds, while magic users should invest in intelligence and wisdom.

Magnus Evolution Paths Magnus evolve at levels 15 and 45 with specific stat and item requirements. For example, the Draco Newt can evolve into different forms depending on whether you focus on endurance, focus, or intelligence.

Managing Inventory and Progression Understanding the inventory UI is crucial. Each tab offers insights into your character, Magnus, skills, and relationships with NPCs.

Conclusion Re:Legend’s mix of farming and monster taming offers a deep and evolving gameplay experience. Following these tips will ensure a smooth start and help you progress efficiently. Check back for updates as the game evolves!
