How to start in Lineage 2: step by step

Last updated: Based on Lineage 2 Interlude

To start in Lineage 2 Interlude, get a working client, create an account on your chosen server, make a character, and follow the starting-area quests while you learn the interface. Spend the first levels reading skill descriptions, not rushing, and keep your Adena.

Step by step

  1. Get the client and connect (see the connection guide: How to download the client and connect to a server).
  2. Create an account on the server you chose, then log in.
  3. Create a character: race, then Fighter or Mystic, then appearance and name.
  4. Open your inventory, skills, quest log and map in the first minutes so that you know where things are.
  5. Follow the NPC quests in the starting area; they give early experience and gear.
  6. Join a party or ask general chat for help when you are stuck.

First-hour habits

  • Read what each skill does before using it.
  • Keep a few consumables (soulshots or spiritshots if your class uses them) instead of selling everything.
  • Do not trade your account details with anyone.
  • Learn the shortcut bar: it makes fights much faster.

What next

When you reach level 20 read the class change guide: First profession at level 20: class change guide.
