First of all the purpose of this guide is to give players a few hints about the game. This
is not a complete list and its subject for improvement.
The guide will be divided into sections and you can browse those from the context menu
below:
1.1.2. To pay for the game you need a Click and Buy account, be aware that C&B is
very sensitive with some credit cards and it may take a while to activate your
account if you mistype anything or your CC is not by their liking.
1.1.3. Now you can chose between 2 types of subscriptions, the free one gives you
limited choices while the master pack is a full subscription. We can’t say which is
better for the moment, so if you are not sure about the game go for the free one
and save some money.
1.2.1. Once you downloaded the game double click the DNLinstaller.exe file and install
it wherever you like on your drives.
1.2.2. When the installation is complete you can launch the game and update it to the
final version using the launcher.
1.3.1. Before entering Ganareth you may wish to make some tweaks to your video
settings in order to improve performance. Here is a short list of tweaks you can do
to your video card settings:
1.3.1.1. turn off shaders and other forms of shader control
1.3.1.2. turn off antialiasing
1.3.1.3. turn off anisotropic filters and optimization
1.3.1.4. turn off triple buffering
1.3.1.5. turn on vertical sync
1.3.1.6. remove any application controlled option you got and make your own
choice
1.3.1.7. set your card for high performance
2.2. A good DNL stats calculator for you in order to predict you stats cost by class or race
can be found here: http://www.sda.name/dnl/modules/stats/stats.html
2.2.1. If you set the calculator by class (and subclass) you can find what races are
available for that particular choice. Compare and make up your mind since this
step is one time choice only.
2.3. The GODS you can chose by race can be found here:
http://bjorlyn.tripod.com/raceclassgods.pdf
2.4. When you login a message will pop up and you will have to chose your god to worship.
This can’t be undone.
2.5. You can toy with your character look and also you have to choose your alignment here.
3.1. The DNL interface has a lot of hidden features and you may easily get lost in it. This
section is not going to be a complete list of UI features, but instead we will try to outline
the most important aspects of the UI.
3.2. The menu can be extended from the lower left corner button.
3.3.1. Almost all windows have a small extend/compact button that will toggle more
info.
3.3.2. Other windows have other types of management like the pet manager for
example.
3.3.2.1. Expands the pet info (no.1).
3.3.2.2. Expands the pet control options (no.2).
3.3.2.3. Hovering your mouse over the signs will show you the pet command
details. To chose a behavior click on the appropriate blue square (no.3).
3.3.2.4. Sends the pet away but does not free it (no.4).
3.3.2.5. At any time you can recall your pets (no.5).
3.3.6.6. The game commands can be accessed by pressing the “/” key in the chat
line and the pressing the “Tab” key. To narrow the list you can type the first
letters of a command.
3.3.9.3. The available commands for party can be simply accessed via the same
command menu explained above.
4.1. Your character starts with FXP level 1 this gives you from start 1 FXP point to spend.
As a Citizen you have the option to spend in any of the trees: Healer, Hunter, Fighter,
and Spellcaster.
4.1.1. Consider spending your points into the fighter class at first. This will help you
increase your melee attacks.
4.1.2. Use specials (skills) the default attack may be too low and will not cause enough
damage on the mobs. It can also miss while the special skills don’t.
4.1.3. Take a look on all skill trees make an idea of how they are in order to consider
your path for later on.
4.1.4. Drink and / or eat to keep your food level high. This will give u a high
regeneration rate. If your character will starve it will stop regenerating over time.
4.1.5. Sitting increases your regeneration rate. If you are attacked when sitting you take
double damage.
4.1.6. Don’t turn your back to a mob that is attacking you it will be considered Backstab
and will cause double damage.
4.2. At lower levels (up to level 5) it will be wise to invest in Constitution and increase your
HP and SP as well and in wisdom to keep up your regeneration rate.
4.3. Keep in mind that at level 10 (yes the official site is wrong you chose your next path at
level 10 not 5) the attributes costs will lower and scale up to adapt to the path you will
chose. So saving some attributes points for later use it may be a smart move)
4.3.1. At level 10 when you need to make your first class choice consider it well; it can’t
be undone. Once you made your choice the skill lines from the citizen tree will
disappear and only the one that you chosen will remain. The points spent in other
trees will be refunded and you can start invest in the new lines that are now
available for you.
4.3.2. At level 10 the same thing happens, you will be presented with your final choice
for your subclass. The cost of the attributes will change again and of course will
lower for the attributes that are considered relevant for your subclass. Again saving
attributes points until you make this choice will be wise. The class skill lines will
again be reduced only to the one that corresponds with your final subclass and
points will be refunded.
4.3.3. The subclass has also 3 skill lines. In most cases first one is the fighting line,
second would be more inclined towards buffs and other support spells and last one
will be expertise which is just a tree with passive abilities like more regeneration
rate, lower cast time, higher defenses and such.
4.3.4. Spend wise, take a look at each tree and try to picture all variables like reload
timers for your spells, cast times, interruptible or not and chose to invest into the
best line for your class. Going deep down into the tree and becoming specialized
4.4. When fighting consider well the distance towards your target, move your mouse over
the target’s health pool and see how much it has.
4.4.1. In DNL mobs can have the same FXP level but be totally different in strength,
type of attacks and can have even 2x more hit points. Learning what you can kill
pays off.
4.4.2. A very good way to know what the mobs difficulty is will be to enable Enemy and
LVL XP options on your minimap the actual color of the mobs is related to their
aggression and not with their level, the background and border indicates the
difficulty.
4.5. In DNL the NPC monsters will migrate and the spawn places will change over time. So
finding the right mobs for you will require a bit of exploration.
4.5.1. Hint: the easiest way to wonder around will be to buy a Hand Glider and a
parachute and fly around the area. The higher you go in FXP level the further you
may need to go to find the right monsters. DNL has a vast transportation network of
boats, balloons, dragons and teleport towers that can help you in your travels.
4.5.2. Do not worry you can return to your starting town anytime you like by using the
/gateToBirthplace command.
4.5.3. You can use the command /bind anywhere in the world to make yourself a bind
point; this will be useful once you found a place to hunt and you want to return fast
in that area in case you need to leave or you die. To return to your bind point from
anywhere in the world use the /gate command.
5.1. Ganareth is huge, exploration can take long hours and the world is beautiful and full of
mobs, quests, places to go and resources to mine.
5.2. The map starts unlocked the more you travel and the more places you visit the more
transportation routes, crafting places, NPC vendors and other things will light on your
map and minimap.
5.3. You can find boats, balloons, dragons and telepherics in Ganareth.
5.4. To use transportation device get in range and right click it and chose use, each
transport has a cost in Goths but it’s pretty cheap. Mana towers need to be activated by
the players using resources like crystals and wood. Also the mana towers will have a
range in which they will increase the player’s regeneration rate. More info about this will
be added later on once players will start activating and keeping the towers full with
resources.
6.2. Advancing in crafting levels and ranks is a game of patience and takes a lot of time and
money.
6.3. To start your crafting career you need to visit the local merchant and buy recipes. Buy
the recipes you desire and make sure they belong to the same line you want to
specialize in. To advance to the next level of crafting you need to bring 3 recipes of the
same type (not same item) to level 80 TN (Training Number) (no.3).
6.4. Each recipe has 3 types of items that need to be added to make an item as well as

6.6.1. On the top side is the main filter that will show the current professions in the
game.
6.6.2. For each profession and level you will have a requirement to meet in order to get
to the next level as already stated above. To find the requirement hover your
mouse over the test where it says “recipes left”; it will bring a tool tip that will
explain what you need to do (no.2).
6.6.3. The list of recipes can be arranged by name, TN, etc by clicking the small arrows
near each column name.

over it.

6.6.7. To start crafting you need to be near the crafting station that the recipe needs.
It’s listed at the bottom of each recipe (no.4).
6.7. Crafting is influenced by the gods also. For best results you will want to find a crafting
station that is situated in a region that is controlled by one of the gods that is currently
on the sky (see the gods section on the minimap) (no.5).
6.8. Before you proceed to your crafting station you will want to supply yourself with
ingredients. Buy from the merchant a good amount of ingredients that will fit your
recipe. Keep in mind that some recipe will accept more ingredients and each has an
effect on the items you create, but you can only add one type to the recipe. For
example a recipe may use bone and wings, so just thing what u want more AC or more
Qui and buy only the one you will use.
6.10. Once you are in the range of your crafting station you can start add the resources
and ingredients to your crafting pane. Once you added all 4 the “Train” (no.7) button
will become available.
6.10.1. Each recipe has a number of train items needed before you can make the
final product. It is listed on the recipe and on the crafting panel. This is affected by
your skills and will decrease if you invest CXP into the training corresponding with
the profession the recipe belongs to.
6.10.2. On the right lower window the chance of increase in TN will be displayed
as well as the base quality number.
6.10.3. Once you made the needed training items for a product you can add those
to the last slot (no.6). The training items are in your bag if you didn’t figure it yet.
6.10.4. At this point if you added all the resources, ingredients and the training
items needed the Combine Button will light (no.8). It will display a combine chance
(you can fail). Pressing the combine button will produce the final item.
6.10.5. For each training item you make you will receive 25 CXP. For each final
product you make you will receive 50CXP. Invest your CXP in one line until u hit
level 20 CXP.
6.10.5.1. The higher the TN of a recipe the lower the chance to increase TN will be.
At level 20 providing you invested all your CXP into just one line you may get a
chance boost that will help a lot.
6.12. When you are crafting in a barony that belong to a god that has a constellation

glider from the top of a high mountain and keep going until you end up above a valley)
you can press the “0” key and the glider will fold and you will begin to sky dive in a
