Getting Started

Movement in Eden follows standard MMO controls:

• W – Move forward

• A – Strafe left

• S – Move backward

• D – Strafe right

• Right-click and hold – Move the camera (also turns your character left and right)

All keyboard settings can be customized by pressing the keyboard button on the command bar or typing /keyboard in the chat box. Adjust controls to your preference for a smoother experience.

Once you’re comfortable moving around, your next step is to find NPCs with a floating DAoC logo above their heads—this indicates they have a quest for you.

• The first NPC you see will usually provide a beginner’s quest that teaches basic gameplay mechanics.

• To view your current quests, open your journal by typing /journal or pressing the designated hotkey (check your keyboard settings to see which key is bound to open your journal).

Completing quests is one of the best ways to gain experience and rewards early in the game.

If you ever feel lost, your map is your best tool for navigation.

• Press M or type /map to open the map.

• Your player icon will move as you do, helping you track your location.

The appearance of your location icon may vary depending on your UI settings, so take a moment to familiarize yourself with the map layout.

As you complete quests and defeat monsters, you’ll gain experience and eventually level up.

When you level up, you need to train your skills to unlock new abilities:

• Find your class trainer (NPCs with "[Your Class] Trainer" under their name).

• Right-click on the trainer to open the training menu and spend your skill points.

Training your skills regularly ensures you remain powerful and prepared for tougher battles.

Your character starts with basic equipment, usually a weapon (and sometimes a shield). These will get you through your first fights but should be upgraded soon.

• Monsters drop weapons, armor, and jewelry as you hunt and complete quests.

• Open your inventory by pressing ‘I’. This opens your Paper Doll (a character model) and inventory slots.

• To equip an item, click its icon and drag it to the appropriate slot on your character sheet.

• To remove an item, click it and move it back to your inventory.

Keeping your gear upgraded is essential for staying effective in combat.

Combat is a core part of the game. Whether you're on a quest or just exploring, you'll face plenty of enemies.

How to Attack:

1. Target a monster

• Use the nearest enemy key (default is Tab or F8)

• Or click the monster with your mouse

2. Check its difficulty

• Monster names appear in different colors to indicate difficulty:

  • • Grey – Too weak, no XP or rewards

    • Green – Very easy, low XP

    • Blue – A little easier than your level

    • Yellow – Equal to your level

    • Orange – Slightly harder than you

    • Red – Significantly harder

    • Purple – Extremely difficult, avoid unless in a group

3. Initiate Combat

• Click the attack button on your hotbar

• Your character will automatically continue attacking

• Spellcasters can cast spells from range, but be prepared to fight up close once the monster reaches you

After a monster dies, loot is automatically collected. Check your inventory to see what you’ve picked up.

When you first log in, you’ll see three Quickbars on your screen. These hotbars allow you to use abilities, spells, and items quickly.

• Each quickbar has 10 slots (1-9, with 0 as the 10th slot).

• Quickbar 1 is linked to the 1-0 keys on your keyboard by default.

• Drag abilities, spells, or items from the abilities menu onto your quickbar.

• To use a quickbar ability:

  • • Left-click it with your mouse

    • Press the corresponding key (e.g., press ‘1’ to use the ability in Quickbar Slot 1)

You can have up to ten different pages of quickbar slots. Use the arrow buttons at the end of the quickbar to switch between pages.

Every class has unique abilities, including combat styles, spells, and other skills.

• Open your abilities menu (found in the upper right of your screen).

• Drag abilities onto your quickbar for easy access.

• Right-click an ability for more details.

• Shift + Right-click to remove an ability from your hotbar.

• Modifiers:

  • • First quickbar: Use 1-0 keys.

    • Second quickbar: Use Alt + 1-0.

    • Third quickbar: Use Ctrl + 1-0.

Mastering your abilities is key to excelling in combat.

Merchants throughout the world sell weapons, armor, potions, and more.

• Right-click on a merchant to open their shop.

• To buy an item, click on it and press the buy button.

• To sell an item, drag it from your inventory to the sell button.

Managing Currency:

Your money is displayed at the bottom of your inventory in the following denominations:

• 100 Copper = 1 Silver

• 100 Silver = 1 Gold

• 1,000 Gold = 1 Platinum

Some shops have multiple pages of items, which you can navigate using arrows in the shop window.

Communication is essential in Eden: Dark Age of Camelot. There are multiple chat options available:

• /say – Speak to players nearby

• /send [playername] [message] – Private message another player

• /gu – Speak in guild chat (if you are in a guild)

• /adv - Speak in the advice channel

• /bc - Speak in the battlegroup

Press ‘I’ to open your inventory.

• The Paper Doll (character model) displays equipped gear.

• The Inventory Bags hold items and can be switched by clicking the bag icons.

• Your current amount of money is displayed at the bottom of the inventory window.

Keeping your inventory organized will help you manage your loot and equipment efficiently.
