 Walk up to your first skeleton and punch it (for Unarmed skill) by hitting 1 on your keyboard or follow some of the tips on screen about equipping a sword and armor if you want to level the Sword skill. After it dies, you can loot its body. This is similar to your standard MMORPG fare for a tutorial zone. Kill something, loot it, equip the the interesting stuff you find, and move on to do it again. Click on the interactables you find in the world. Read the texts of items completely as much as you can. You will get Lore experience in some cases. Lore levels will be important for getting certain sidebar abilities.
-Eventually, after you get bored of fighting stuff on the coastline, you'll work your way into the island and meet all the NPCs. Click on "Do Favor" if the option is available or go through their Talk options to learn more about your situation (and theirs). Meet and speak with all three major NPCs: Riger, Elmetaph, and Lawara.

Also, do their quests. Especially Lawara's as she will give you a skinning knife. That is the only way to get a skinning knife early game.
 While I give a few hints on this page, the wiki has [[https://wiki.projectgorgon.com/wiki/Anagoge_Island|an entirely spoiler-full page]] about how to do every quest on the starter island. If you need this much help, you might want to reconsider playing this game, however. This is just my opinion, but the game doesn't get easier from here and you aren't going to get a full guide anywhere for how to do exactly everything step-by-step. Project Gorgon is a game where you don't just explore the world, you'll also explore the mechanics of it and it is far too complex to make a guide for everything, though I certainly try my best to introduce you to various mechanics throughout the pages here!

 One of the tabs has info on if you have the item already and, if so, where it is located. This is really handy later on for when you are looking at Work Orders or a new recipe and you are trying to figure out if you have one already or to determine if you have enough of the materials you need to make the items.
-There's an adage in the game that goes like this: Craft -> Favor -> Barter -> Sell. Sometimes the first two are switched around for certain players that just aren't into crafting.
+There's an adage in the game that goes like this: [[serbule#craft_-_favor_-_barter_-_sell|Craft -> Favor -> Barter -> Sell]]. Sometimes the first two are switched around for certain players that just aren't into crafting.
 The reason why players say this is because when you pick up most items, you should be checking all four things and doing them in the order they come up. If you can craft with the item and it's relevant to be crafting for a Work Order or leveling a crafting skill you want to increase now, then hold onto the item. If not, see if the item can be given to an NPC you are trying to be friends with for a reasonable amount of Favor, if so, do it. Lastly, check to see if the item is used in any Barters. If so, keep it for that. If none of these things matter to you, and you don't have the space, then sell the item to whoever will buy it. This order of Craft -> Favor -> Barter -> Sell will apply the entirety of the time you are playing PG.

 I would recommend you read everything you come across as the story is both necessary to progress further into the facility and, in some cases, sad or humorous. If you're new to this kind of heavy reading, keep in mind that these sorts of Lore items were a big part of early MMORPGs that had you combing over a lot of text and Gorgon is like old school RPGs in many respects. This game goes a step further than some of the older games and rewards you with Lore recipes for reading about the history.
-One of the fond things I remember about the MMORPG named Asheron's Call was that the story and history were actually really quite deep and changed the way I looked at some of the NPCs. Many of the enemies I fought in that game I thought were just "cat beasts" and human NPCs would refer to them as lying and stealing and generally up to no good. In the case of reading the Lore, it turned out many of them were actually slaves of other enemies and brought unwillingly to the world and had been experimented on by yet another enemy. Many of them were just trying to survive somewhere between the more-friendly humanoid races and their evil former masters. Project Gorgon has stories (most notably of the Mantises) that are similar in that respect. If you don't read the Lore, you will know nothing about this.

They were struggling to survive and the human NPCs in the world didn't really seem to respect them for it. Project Gorgon has stories (most notably of the Mantises) that are similar in that respect. If you don't read the Lore, you will know nothing about this.
 Worth noting here is that typing "/wiki <anything>" (without the quotes) in the chat window will open the wiki for the <anything>. One example is "/wiki Sword" to learn more about the Sword skill. If /wiki isn't working well /swiki will open it in Steam and may sometimes be easier to navigate. There are wikis for anything you need to find in the Lore or just for completing dungeons if you are having trouble. The [[http://wiki.projectgorgon.com/wiki/Main_Page|full and official Project Gorgon wiki]] is more valuable than just this guide and the [[anagogeisland#more_info_is_the_best_ability_in_the_game|"More Info"]] command. My only complaint about the official wiki is that it doesn't have a chronological flow to it (hence why I made this guide).
