Enshrouded 1.0 Tips: 22 Things to Know

1. Place a Flame Altar early — it is your first level-up

1.0 notes

"The first level-up is now designed to happen when placing the first Flame Altar; this is not strict science, of course, as players are free to follow their own path. When following the quest line, the second level-up should then trigger when freeing the Blacksmith."
