¶ Beginner's Guide
Firstly, we welcome you to Forsaken Cabal 🎉 In this guide, you can find suggestions and useful tips about the beginning of your journey in here.
¶ First Steps
-
After deciding your class and creating your character, you wil get some Beginner's Chests in your inventory and some gifts in your mail. Open, receive and use them first. You will be starting as Lv.199 and 99.9% exp. Hitting any monsters/dummies will grant you Lv.200.
-
After that, you should head to NPC New Starter Set to get your free SIG Metal set which will serve as a place holder until you get yourself a better set.
- Now you should allocate your stats from Character Menu (Shortcut Key "C") according to requirements of this starter set you've got. Just put enough stats to equip the starter set. You can put rest of the stats to your Classes' main stat. You can find stat information about each class from our Class Guide
You can reset your stats later when you upgrade your set. Stat Reset Potion is available at NPC Event Girl Yul for 1m alz.
- Now we are ready to run our first dungeons. But before that, Forsaken Cabal offers some QoL functions that will make your runs and gameplay much easier.
¶ QoL Functions
There are several QoL functions Forsaken Cabal offers which makes farming much easier. These can be seen and activated from our QoL Settings panel which you can open by pressing F9 key.
- Dungeon
1. Loot ON:
Automatically loots drops in dungeons when this function is checked.
2. Ignore Equip:
Auto-loot will not pick up any armor or weapon parts when this function is checked (useful when running low dungeons like LID for cores)
3. Loot 2s:
Auto-loot will pick up 2 slot no epic (blue) gear when this function is checked. If you want to ignore 2 slot no epic (blue) items, you can uncheck this function.
4. Auto-Quest:
This system will automatically skip all the quest dialouge options (will leave important ones to your choice like the one in AFI) of NPCs and Objects in dungeons and field maps.
Auto Quest function will work outside of dungeons too which causes skipping NPC Dialouge options on NPCs who have more than one function. (i.e: If you click to a Core Alchemist NPC while Auto Quest is enabled, it will always select Open Shop option which makes it impossible to select Pet/Item upgrade options) To avoid that, simply open settings panel with F9 and disable Auto Quest function.
- Weather
This system will allow you to change in-game Weather(Skybox) and brightness you prefer. Forsaken Cabal offers 4 different options.
- Normal Mode
- Light Mode
- Inverted Mode
- Dark Mode
5. BM2 Attack Rank Adjust: Adjustable from mini menu which appears after casting BM2 
This system will allow you to choose BM2 Attack Rank you prefer. All classes usually uses Rank 1 attack option but you can still select one you prefer from 4 different ranks.
6. Auto BM3 Synergy: Adjustable from mini menu which appears after casting BM3 
This system will allow you to cast BM3 Synergies automatically. You can choose between 4 different synergies and select how many times(1x, 2x or 3x) to repeat and how many fatal attacks( I, II or III) you want to cast after doing synergy combo. You can disable it by clicking again the synergy you clicked before.
-BM3 Combo menu will appear on top left corner of your screen, over your HP bar. This makes it a bit hard to see at first.
-Auto BM3 attacks will be slightly slower than manual inputs.
¶ Goals: Early Game
1. Honor Rank: Honor Rank is top priority in early game since you will require certain honor ranks to be able to buy items from DP shop and enter some dungeons. You can obtain honor points from:
- Scenario Quests
- Guild Shop
- Coupon Shop
- Troglo Exchange Shop
2. Chaos Accessories: Chaos accessories are the first items you should focus on your build since they provide big stat bonuses. You can get your Arcanas and Chaos talisman from DP shop, Chaos Belt and Carnelian from Bloody Ice NPC Deighton (Grocer). If you need help about upgrading Chaos Accessories, you can visit our Chaos Upgrade guide.
Instead of buying and upgrading, you may prefer to sell your resources like DP to buy pre-made +15 chaos accessories.
3. Unique Accesories: There are several unique accessories that provides some unique bonuses. You should get them as soon as possible. You will be upgrading and evolving them into their better versions as you progress. Unique accessories you can obtain easily in Early Game phase are:

Unique Accessories are also Chaos Upgradeable. For more information, you can visit our Chaos Upgrade guide.
4. Pet: We cannot forget our lovely companions. Get your pet as soon as possible so it can level up with you. You can obtain pets from:
- DP Shop
5. Force Wings: Force Wings provides lots of passive bonuses and its relatively easy to level it up on earlier levels. Since Wing Dungeons, which are main sources of Wing Exp Potions, have limited daily runs, its better to unlock and level them starting from day 1. It won't be too hard to reach Force Wings Level 100 by the end of Early Game phase. For more information, check our Force Wings guide.
