The challenge of starting out in the world of Chinese Paladin is a common problem for many new players. Although the game's IP is very familiar, there are significant innovations in gameplay, resources, and characters, and this seamless large world allows for free exploration. It's not easy to quickly integrate into it. In this article, we will share some tips on how to start, so you can quickly get into the game.

I. Resource Introduction
There are two general types of resources, mainly used for gacha, "Mortal Bond" and "Heavenly Bond," which are used for permanent and limited-time gacha pools respectively, with an exchange ratio of 120:1 with spirit stones. Another important currency resource is Spirit Jade, which can only be obtained through spending real money. Spirit Jade can be exchanged for spirit stones or treasure notes at a 1:1 ratio. Treasure notes are the general currency used in the game's trading market for transactions between players, allowing the purchase of various outfits, accessories, treasures, and rarities dropped by bosses.

II. Mystical Vein Level
The game's levels can generally be divided into three categories: Mystical Vein level, character level, and Familiar level. During the early stages, it is strongly recommended to prioritize upgrading the Mystical Vein level, which can be understood as the map level. Many important functions and gameplay elements require reaching a specific Mystical Vein level to unlock. At level 5, you can choose the order of branches, and it is more recommended to first choose "Blessed Land of All Spirits," as this will unlock the home system, allowing you to dispatch low-level familiars to start production. Once the home function is activated, progressing through the main storyline will become much easier, and you can upgrade simultaneously.

There are also some small tricks to leveling up. When exploring, prioritize activating teleportation points, which not only makes later exploration easier but also provides a lot of experience and spirit stones, and being near a teleportation point will fully restore your character's status. Capturing familiars can speed up Mystical Vein upgrades; the first 10 captures of each type of familiar will give you Mystical Vein experience and spirit stones, and repeated captures increase the probability of that type of familiar shining. Dungeon cultivation can also accelerate Mystical Vein upgrades; once the "Myriad Tribulations Cultivation Valley" dungeon is open, you can spend 20 stamina to gain both Mystical Vein and character experience.

III. Character Development
To level up, you need to consume Essence of Vitality and silver coins. Resources will be quite tight in the later stages, so it's suggested to focus on upgrading the three main characters in your team during the early stages. The maximum level cannot exceed the Mystical Vein level. Essence of Vitality can be obtained from the Myriad Tribulations Cultivation Valley in the secret realm challenges. The Xi Treasure Box is the character equipment system, and the characters you draw come with their own dedicated weapons; you just need to spend resources to upgrade the weapon. Accessories and such can be obtained through dungeon quests, and the benefits of equipment can be maximized through grid combination storage.

IV. Familiars
Familiars can be obtained in three ways. 1. Wild capture, using a gourd to catch wild creatures while exploring. The gourd has different quality levels: green, blue, purple, and gold, with higher quality increasing the success rate. Gourds can primarily be obtained from the home and wild exploration. 2. Familiar hatching, during exploration in the big world, you may encounter scattered eggs, and picking them up can also yield familiars. 3. Cage liberation, don't miss any cages in the big world. After defeating the surrounding monsters, use the gourd to absorb the familiar inside the cage. After 12 successful absorptions, you can activate the absorption enhancement in the Mystical Vein, increasing the probability by 15%.

V. Team Composition
In battle, you can have up to three characters and three familiars on the field, and you can switch characters freely during combat. It's best to choose characters with different roles to balance the team, such as DPS + Support/Survival + Abnormality/Breaking, as a single composition will make the team lack in either output or survival. Additionally, ensure a mix of the five elements, especially those that can create elemental reactions, to maximize output. A recommended team for starting out is: Lin Yueru + Lingbo + Li Yiru, with familiars: Multicolored Butterfly Demon + Ice Sprite + Turtle Elder. This team has charging, control, and damage reduction, making it a balanced team that is useful for initial exploration.

This is the detailed content of the guide for beginners in the world of Chinese Paladin. Besides the above points, there are many small details to remember, but if you master these, the initial stage will go smoothly, laying a good foundation for future development.
