Pick a Faction and Spawn at Anchor Town

On first join, choose Pirate or Marine and land at Anchor Town. Open the Logbook (in-client wiki) before your first quest — it explains the hourly Cursed Fruit spawn, fruit mastery save, and life-skill loop. Reach level 30 with the Marine Captain repeatable and the Captive Swordsman story quest.

Get Your First Cursed Fruit

The fastest early-game route is Almighty Calvin's Wizards Apprentice quest in Anchor Town — it grants a random Cursed Fruit chest. Hourly plant spawns also drop fruits on trees and plants across all islands.

Hold or Roll Races

Human is the default. Celestial (Human Variant) is Mythic at ~0.1-0.15% per roll. Save trait and race rerolls until you know whether you want a fishing (Seafolk) or mobility (Skyfolk/Beastfolk) build. Eternal Pose group membership reportedly grants a bonus reroll.

Move to Clown Town at Level 30

Sail from Anchor Town once you reach level 30. Clown Town hosts Buggy the Clown and the Johnny story chain. Pick up the Swords or Brawler fighting-style trainer here.
