Before you log in
- Install/update Steam or PURPLE and clear at least 100 GB of available storage.
- Update GPU drivers.
- Pick 2–3 class candidates, not one “meta” lock.
- Save the local-time test schedule.
First 30 minutes
- Set movement, dodge and targeting binds.
- Test camera sensitivity and UI scale.
- Try the class’s basic resource/chain flow.
- If the class already feels wrong, switch early.
First group content
Start with one of the four Expeditions already revealed globally. Record mechanics and menu names. That information survives a character wipe better than temporary item progression.
What not to do
- Do not buy a higher Founder’s Pack expecting more than five days of early access.
- Do not copy a Korean gear-score requirement into a Global dungeon page without checking the client.
- Do not publish an exact full-launch hour until NC announces one.
