Getting Started
Play ETERNALS in a browser or use one of the supported apps. A guest account receives real progression immediately; link an email from inside the game before changing devices or clearing browser data.
Choose a mode
| Mode | Trade and Grand Exchange | Death rule |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Available | Normal combat defeat |
| Ironman | Disabled; earn your own supplies | Normal combat defeat |
| Hardcore Ironman | Disabled | First combat death converts the character to regular Ironman |
Choose carefully. Self-sufficient modes change the entire supply chain, and Hardcore status is intentionally fragile.
A reliable first session
- Review the World Map and the activities available in your starting area.
- Gather basic resources through Mining, Fishing, or Woodcutting.
- Process them with skills such as Smithing, Cooking, Fletching, or Crafting.
- Equip a weapon, armour, and food before starting combat.
- Set auto-eat to the risk level you want, then fight an enemy whose displayed odds and requirements are comfortable.
- Add bounded activities to the Action Queue so your next task starts automatically.
- Follow quests and area requirements for natural progression.
Hitpoints begins at level 10. Combat level is derived from your combat skills; Hitpoints XP is awarded from combat outcomes alongside the offensive or defensive training you perform, not simply for receiving damage.
Protect your progress
- Link a guest account and keep your sign-in method accessible.
- Check requirements before spending rare materials or dungeon totems.
