1. Craft a NosMate and a Partner

Before you wander off, craft a NosMate and a Partner of your choice. You’ll want both with you from the start.

NosMate

Pick one of the starter mates:

• Indian Bushi
• Fortune Bushtail
• Leo the Coward

More mates (and where to get them) are listed on the NosMates page.

Partner

Available starter options are Graham, Ragnar, and Jennifer:

• Ragnar's Key
• Graham's Holy Stone
• Jennifer's Key

2. Pick your class before you leave

Before you leave the starting map, change to the class you want to play.

Press P to open your character panel, then click one of the class icons at the bottom. You can switch classes whenever you like - nothing is locked in.

You also need to complete a few starter tasks before you leave. Read the in-game messages for each step, or watch the video below and follow along.

3. Explore what ClashTale has to offer

Take a moment to look around. Walk the starting area, talk to NPCs, and poke at shops and crafts - or skim the wiki if you’d rather plan ahead.

The NPCs page is a good place to start: every NPC, their shops, and crafts in one spot. From there you can also browse raids, daily quests, NosMates, and more under In game content.

The shell system has been rebuilt from scratch. See the Shells page for how patterns, fragments, and upgrades work.

4. Level up

When you’re ready to grind, head through the EXP MAPS portal:

Go in, pick a map that matches your level, and keep leveling. As you go, you’ll get rewards for hitting new levels - full list on Level Up Rewards.

5. Do your daily quests

Daily quests are a big part of progressing on ClashTale. Keep them up and you’ll have a steady flow of rewards that help develop your character over time.

Open the Quest tab in Character Info to see what’s on for the day:

See what’s available, how they work, and what you can earn on the Daily Quests page.

6. Visit the Realms

Realms are custom maps where you farm valuable drops - perfection stones, materials to craft SP cards, and more. Each elemental realm has its own portal from the hub:

7. Start raiding

Raids are a big part of developing your character. Clear them for materials to craft high-level equipment, upgrade tattoos, and more.

You’ll find the raid portals (and traders) in the raid area:

Requirements, rewards, and box contents for each raid are on the Raids page.

Plan your next upgrades

Once you know the daily loop, use the ClashTale item database to compare equipment and materials. The level-up reward list shows what you receive while progressing, and the patch notes track changes that may affect your plans.
