Quests

Silas

 * 1) Talk to Silas in New Banian; he will ask you to bring him a tonic.Silas.png
 * 2) Visit the Item Shop in the NE corner of New Banian and buy a tonic.Tonic.png
 * 3) Talk to Silas again, then drag the tonic from your inventory onto him.
 * 4) Go to your Abilities tab and drag one of your 2 starter abilities onto your hotbar.Ab1.pngAb2.png
 * 5) Talk to Silas again, then drag your starter weapon from your equipment tab to the area above.Eq2.png
 * 6) Talk to Silas again, then equip all of the equipment he gives you.21c585903942e4c5d1d07b6ddd166582.png equipment given to you by Silas is special. It costs less than normal equipment, is engraved, and some even comes with exceptionally useful effects. The 2 bracelets both have the "Wanderer" suffix, granting increases Stamina regeneration, while the boots have the "Pacing" suffix, granting increased movement speed.
 * 7) Bring Silas 10 monster items the same way you had brought him a Tonic. After doing so, and upon reaching level 10, you can leave the continent of New Banian. Leaving New Banian means you forfeit your newbie status, losing NSay, but allowing you to join one of the many player-run domains in FFO.

Garland
The Garland questline takes you through each zone on New Banian, but its difficulty and requirements lead it to be too much to handle for a single newbie unless they've reached mid levels.

Shrouded Mauler
At night, an NPC will alert you through NSay that monsters are gathering beneath New Banian. Once you've seen this message, you can talk to the starter NPC at any point during night time to begin the quest. The Mauler is weak to light, and will take significant damage even from things such as HP potions. Warning: he spawns with a huge group of undead, making a party or using clever strategy will make this much easier.
 * 1) Speak to the NPC in the building directly south of the New Banian well.Q2.png
 * 2) Proceed down the stairs in the same building and find the stairs to the bottom floor. Perma chests will spawn on this floor, as well as the bottom floor.
 * 3) Circle the bottom floor to spawn the Shrouded Mauler. Note that having party members on screen will prevent Mauler from spawning.

Shrouded Mauler will cast Dark and Blind. Be prepared to be bombarded from range by Dark, evn while Mauler's swarm if undead prevent you from reaching him.

Once the Shrouded Mauler is defeated, he will drop a chest containing equipment which you may otherwise be unable to obtain without leaving New Banian.

Aldeae
After defeating the Mauler, speak to the original quest NPC; he will give you a note that he'd like you to take to a relative in Aldeae. Aldeae is located north of the forest maze. The forest has several entrances and exits; make your way through it and then either north or north west, depending on what side of the forest you exit, to reach Aldeae.
