Dawnport

Dawnport is the new beginner's island, first mentioned on and implemented in Update 10.55. It replaces Rookgaard as the beginner's island, but Rookgaard still remains accessible and players can still play Rookgaard. Dawnport is located westsouthwest of Ghostlands, here.

Dawnport aims to introduce the player to the game by allowing them to test each vocation to get a feel before they make their final decision. In addition, there are many areas to explore, a few quests and tasks to complete and a wide variety of creatures to hunt.

Unlike Rookgaard there is no premium area in Dawnport. All players can access all areas. Players must leave Dawnport when they hit level 21 but they can leave as early as level 8. When you die on Dawnport you will keep all your items unless you are level 8 or higher, in which case the usual death penalty applies.

Vocation Change
Dawnport was created for new players to test the vocations. This means changing vocations is possible. They can do this by leaving the town in one of four directions:
 * Exit northward to test Knight
 * Exit eastward to test Paladin
 * Exit southward to test Druid
 * Exit westward to test Sorcerer

Depending on which way you go you will automatically receive a vocation, to test if it suits you. Each vocation receives a set to start them off. If they change vocations they will lose the original equipment pieces (weapon and shield) and gain new ones. The items gained are: Note that players can become each vocation and obtain a total of 100 Arrows, 1 Meat, 4 Light Stone Shower Runes, 4 Lightest Missile Runes, 27 Mana Potions, 21 Small Health Potions to use, as these are not reclaimed when changing vocations, but you cannot claim more than one lot of supplies.
 * Knights will receive a Dagger and a Wooden Shield, as well as 1 Meat, 2 Mana Potions and 10 Small Health Potions.
 * Paladins will receive a Bow and 100 Arrows, as well as 1 Meat, 5 Mana Potions, 7 Small Health Potions, 1 Light Stone Shower Rune and 1 Lightest Magic Missile Rune.
 * Sorcerers will receive a Spellbook of the Novice and a Scorcher, as well as 1 Meat, 2 Light Stone Shower Runes, 2 Lightest Missile Runes, 10 Mana Potions, 2 Small Health Potions
 * Druids will receive a Spellbook of the Novice and The Chiller, as well as 1 Meat, 2 Light Stone Shower Runes, 2 Lightest Missile Runes, 10 Mana Potions, 2 Small Health Potions.

All vocations will receive spells as well. These will be forgotten if they change vocations or if they leave Dawnport.
 * Knights learn Bruise Bane.
 * Paladins learn Magic Patch, Arrow Call.
 * Sorcerers learn Magic Patch, Buzz, Scorch, Lightest Missile Rune and Light Stone Shower Rune.
 * Druids learn Mud Attack, Chill Out, Magic Patch, Lightest Missile Rune and Light Stone Shower Rune.

Hunting Places
Dawnport has a lot of caves with a large variety of creatures, many of them unique to Dawnport. The small civilization is located in the heart of Dawnport Mountain, which has a hunting ground immediately outside.

There is a Crypt to the east, a Minotaur Mine to the west, a Goblin Cave south-east, and an Orc Cave directly below Dawnport.

Many of these hunting places require a Shovel. You do not start with one, so it is highly recommended you purchase one before looking for hunting places, or better yet, loot one from a Troll-Trained Salamander.

Rare
These creatures will rarely spawn somewhere around Dawnport. They will usually accompany other creatures of their kind, e.g. Orc Berserker in the Orc Cave, Ghoul in the Crypt. Some of these creatures have loot that is not found anywhere else.


 * Cyclops ? (drops Battle Shield, Halberd, Dark Helmet).
 * Ghoul in the Crypt (drops Scale Armor)
 * Minotaur Guard ? (drops Brass Armor, Double Axe, Minotaur Trophy)
 * Orc Berserker in the Orc Cave (drops Battle Axe and Halberd)
