Rune Slayer Best Tundra Update Beginners Guide – Look, you and I both know that diving into a new game update can feel like showing up to a party you werenโt invited toโconfusing, overwhelming, and you’re not sure where the snacks are. So letโs fix that.
Whether youโre a seasoned Rune Slayer wanderer or someone who just tripped into the icy new biome called Tundra, this isnโt your average “press this, kill that” guide. This is a boots-on-the-ground, sword-in-hand beginnerโs walkthroughโwritten by someone who actually got their face kicked in so you wouldnโt have to.
๐ฏ Step One: The Game Just Leveled UpโLiterally
Youโre now playing with the new level cap: Level 50. Hitting this isnโt just a flexโit actually matters. Each class and subclass got a facelift, with two new abilities minimum added in. Whether youโre a healer, a rogue, or a straight-up brute, your toolbelt just got heavier. Time to re-learn your own rhythm.
๐งช Professions Arenโt Just Side Quests Anymore
Hit your Tab key. See that new Professions section chilling under your character info? Thatโs your next obsession. These arenโt just filler. They level up as you play:
- Combat โ Slay mobs
- Foraging โ Chop down trees like a true menace
- Herbalist โ Pluck plants like your life depends on it
- Harvesting โ Farm with speed
- Mining โ Swing pickaxe, profit
- Fishing โ Channel your inner old man and the sea
- Alchemy โ Cook up some brainy potions
But hereโs the kicker: Each one boosts your stats. Foraging gives Strength, Mining gives Stamina, Herbalism adds Spirit, and so on. You’re not just gatheringโyouโre stacking up for battle.
๐งโโ๏ธ Blue-Marked NPCs = Free XP Daily
Around the beginner town, youโll spot a handful of blue-marked NPCs. These are daily quest givers tied to professions. Theyโre literally a free level-up every 24 hours. No grind. No gimmicks. Just walk up, accept the quest, profit.
๐๏ธ Friends Got Perks Too
Slide over to the Guild Hall, find an NPC named Victoria. This isnโt just some side character. She lets you reroll character slots for your friends. Got a buddy who messed up their build? You can toss ’em a lifeline now. Thatโs real power.
๐ก๏ธ New Class Drop: Samurai and Orochi
Yes, itโs finally here. The base class Samurai and its fiery subclass Orochi just entered the fray. Katanas, precision, deadly elegance. Enough said. If you like to slice with style and shred with speedโthis is your sign.
๐งโโ๏ธ Blood and Fire: Two New Races
Two fresh faces (well, races) now join the character pool:
1. Vampire (2% spawn rate)
- Nerfed stats by day, but massive 20% boost at night.
- Built-in vampiric damage resistance.
- Custom eyes, hair, skin tone options? Absolutely.
2. Infernium (1% chance)
- Born of flame, similar to Seraphim.
- 5% less damage from Holy attacks.
- 10% heat resistance.
- +1 to Luck.
- Comes with horns and hellfire vibes.
Both are rare. Both are deadly. And both look cooler than your last five builds.
๐๏ธ Beach Expansion: Welcome to Trailershy
Forget everything you thought you knew about Rune Slayer’s map. The beach has blown wide open.
Just head out from the beginnerโs town, and boomโyouโll land in Trailershy, a new coastal village teeming with weird mobs and fresh quests. Pro tip: Start farming here. Youโll need the materials soon, especially for that Tundra gate.
๐ฆ Shark Riding? Yes, Really.
Meet the NPC near the shoreline who gives you a quest for the Sea Saddle. Complete his task (which mostly involves hunting mutated frogs like Morlock) and you unlock one of the coolest new features: Shark-riding.
If thatโs not a reason to play this update, I donโt know what is.
๐ง Unlocking the Tundra Gate
Hereโs the path:
- From Trailershy, cross over to a nearby island.
- Talk to the NPC there.
- He gives you the Rune Key once youโve completed the proper quest.
Got the key? Head to the glowing teleport box, press E, and brace yourselfโyouโre now stepping into the Tundra biome.
โ ๏ธ Warning: Do not set your spawn at the beach. Itโs bugged. Infinite loading screen = pain. Set spawn anywhere else.
๐๏ธ Welcome to the Tundra: First Steps
After teleporting, congratulationsโyouโve made it to Rune Slayerโs toughest region yet. This icy wilderness is packed with danger, secrets, and mobs that donโt mess around. But thatโs for the next guide.
For now, let me show you where the first village isโfollow the trail from spawn and youโll land there in no time. Itโll be your base of survival for the frostbitten adventure ahead.
๐ฌ Final Words
So, whether you’re here for the katana-swinging samurai vibes, to fish up some XP, or just want to ride a freaking shark across Rune Slayer’s oceans, this update has serious depth. And this guide? Consider it your compass.
You made it this far, so gear up, explore smart, and stay tunedโbecause the Tundra is just the beginning.
