Here will be a guide to getting the most out of a character's first thirty (30) days.

The Cheatyface guide to the first 30 days

The purpose of this guide is to lay out in no uncertain terms how to make the most of a character's first thirty (30) days. In that time, skills will immediately migrate, and statistics can be changed up to five (5) times. These benefits come at no cost or penalty, the only investment being the player's time to plan, implement, and in some special cases await the results of the changes. This guide aims to be as relevant for new, returning, and experienced players.

The guide's author has often jokingly referred to the methodology as the "cheatyface method" with some regularity. However, the terminology "cheat" here does not imply any violation of game policy. It does, however, attempt to maximize the most possible benefits from certain mechanical possibilities that are only offered to characters for the first thirty (30) days after their creation. Basically, the methods outlined in this guide certainly feel like cheating, hence the name. For a new player, these insights may illustrate how to try many different combinations of skill arrangements; for more experienced players, it will show how to get more personal buff spells than you may have ever realized was possible, or maximize your skill setup for specific tasks, like an individual bounty. If nothing else, be warned that you might cheat yourself out of a more traditional grind and unique experience by applying the tactics outlined in this guide.
