PinkTutuPrincess' Guide for newbies

Welcome to TSO.

You have already seen this part and chosen a name and an avatar, the name can be changed if any of the following are true:
1) it's breaking the PEGI 7.
2) it's offensive
3) there is a good reason.

You contact support and they decide if the reason to change the name is valid enough or not.
Send a ticket explaining why you wish to change the name, and send along 3 options for them to choose from.
The avatar absolutely cannot be changed.
Before I go on, I'll take this time to tell you this game is a PEGI 7 game and all chat must be suitable for 7 year olds.


This guide will help you during the tutorial stage of the game. Take your time, do not rush through this and the most important thing to remember is to only buy, build, upgrade or trade when the tutorial tells you to and not before. If you take your time you will have a good experience.

This is what you see, the quest book is the big yellow exclamation mark!
The only building on the island at the beginning is the Mayor's house, the most important building. This building can not be demolished.


http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ayorshouse.png

Clicking the questbook will show you a list.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...-questbook.png
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...questbook2.png

The header 'Main Quests' shows the main quests and subquests. This is what you need to concentrate on for now. Also, until you start killing bandits, it's by completing these quests that you will get XP.

The header 'Side Quests' shows side quests and subquests. These can be done at anytime.

The header 'Daily Quests' shows you the new quest for the day. As the name says, you get a new one every day but if you don't finish this one it will stay until you do it or cancel it.

The header 'Waiting Quests' shows quests that will become active after you have finished the daily quest, this also applies to Guild quests. You can not finish the waiting quest untill you have finished or cancelled the daily quest, or finished the Guild quest or the guild leader cancelled the guild quest.

The header 'Collection Quests' you will get to collect collectibles, known as collies in chat. You get them about twice a day, or to be more accurate, the collies respawn every 8 - 10 hours.

Back to the first quest

Your first building :) also your first quest.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...irst-quest.png

The quest tells us to build at least 1 Pinewood cutter, we can find it here :

The second level starts with you having to build a sawmill, the pinewood sawmill.
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ne-sawmill.png

As you can see by the arrow you can build the sawmill from the build menu, the same place you built the pinewood cutter from.
I'll let you try to find where and how to place it :) Good luck!

Pinewood forester
Economy overview
Have atleast 2 pinewood cutters

We have built a pinetree cutter and a pinetree sawmill. If we let the cutter cut all trees we would be without trees, without trees we would have no planks, without planks we would have no means of building structures. Therefore, we need to build a Pinewood forester.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...esterquest.png

Choose the Pinewood forester from the build menu

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...-buildmenu.png

... and place it near the trees.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...-buildspot.png

Quest done

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...quest-done.png

Next quest :
Economy overview :

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...econ-place.png

After clicking the abacus you'll see:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...click-econ.png

• 'Building materials' show anything we use to build like planks, stone, marble, tools and so on
• 'Food' shows anything that can be eaten (not buffs), but fish, brew, bread and sausages.
• 'Weapons' shows swords, cannons and other weapons
• 'Science' shows anything to do with science and books, like paper and nibs
• 'Resources' shows the rest like wheat, water, meat and so on

What the economy overview shows is what you are producing and using on a 12 hour period.

For the planks, they are a building material:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...on-click-2.png
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...pineplanks.png

and for the deposits:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...u-pinetree.png

and you will get:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...inedeposit.png

On the left side is what you are making and on the right side is what you are using. The number in the bottom centre is the total you are making. Here it's red and a negative number so you are losing 100 trees every 12 hours. I'll explain better on the correct quest, patience :) You should know what to do when a quest is done.

Feel free to finish the side quest as well :)

The quest say to have at least 2 pinewood cutters on the island.

Quests

To hire a specialist
The geologist
Masons

Now to hire a specialist (glowing):

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...list quest.png

Let's choose the tavern, remember where you put it?

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...224buy geo.png

Now buy the Geologist. Well done! You now own a specialist and the quest is complete!

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...quest done.png

Reading what the finished quest description tells you, you will find that specialist in star menu.

Next quest is to find stone

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...tone quest.png

Let's choose the Specialist

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...eo in star.png

You will see what he can do:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...find stone.png

And that's it, he is now looking for stone.

You may get the Halve time of specialist quest at this point:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... geo quest.png

Click on him in your star menu while he is looking for the stone and press the glowing gem it will halve his search time.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ime part 1.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...een halved.png

Quest is now complete.
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

This is what it will look like when he found it:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...on-deposit.png

There are many places to find stone and other resources with the geologist, but you have to own those sectors, this
map will show you where the resources can be
found.

Now to use said stone: build a stonemason

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ason quest.png

and place it on the map near the stone deposit

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ason build.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...tone mason.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png
and complete the quest from the questbook.
Well Done! Next level.

What happens when this deposit is depleted? Do you have to demolish the stone mason and build one closer to an different quarry?
NO!
The mason doesnt need to be demolished, if you have looked at the map i liknked to, you will see that there are stone deposits in zone 5(the middle middle).
So lets say, for this example to work, that you have zone 1(starting zone) and zone 5(one in the middle) and the quarry in zone 1 depletes. The mason don't need to be demolished and rebuilt in zone 5, nor do you have to move the building to zone 5. The worker will walk all the way to the next existing quarry to work in. All workers do that, they go to the nearest full deposit from their workyard. it'll take longer, sure, but they will walk all the way.

Well done!

The Provision house
Discovering new sectors
Creating buffs
Using Buffs

Last time, we made a fish hut, now we will make use of said fish, making buffs. Once the provision house is built, we will return to it.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ouse quest.png

Place it somewhere, while it's being built we can go on with other quests

Next quest is a bit tricky, Discover new sectors

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...orer quest.png

Remember the tavern? that's where you get the Explorer from, just like we did the geologist

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... in tavern.png

But keep an eye on the coins.
Looking closely at the quest text:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... 2 sectors.png

It says explore 2 sectors, the good news is, the one sector you started with is the first sector explored. You just need to send him out once to find a new sector. From the Star menu choose specialist tab and then the explorer:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...er in star.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...oerer list.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...new sector.png

Once he found a new sector you'll get:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...42 sectors.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

The black arrows are pointing at Zone 1, the sector you start with, and the red arrows at Zone 4, the second sector. Between these 2 sectors are some bollards, these are blue as there are no enemy camps in the newly discovered sector. Had there been any enemy camps there some of the bollards would of been red. If you see red bollards it means that the land, closest to them, belongs to your enemy. Once you kill the enemy leader camp the red bollards turn blue.

Completed side quest Still lacking stone.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...side quest.png


As promised, back to the buffs...

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...uffs quest.png

...choose the fishplatter

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...prov house.png

...as we need to do atleast one... do one

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... fish buff.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...uff part 2.png

...and you may see how long it'll take or just close the window

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...quest done.png

Buffs are great :) They increase the outcome not the income! Read the description of each buff by hovering over it to see how long it lasts and how much it'll increase the outcome.

Now to use this buff

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...buff quest.png

Choose the buff from the star menu's buff tab

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ff in star.png

The buildings you can use them on will be highlighted as shown

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... buildings.png

I chose to place it on a pinewood cutter:

Previously we discovered a new zone. Now it's time to claim it. The quest tells us to claim 2 sectors, the one we started with is the first sector claimed and next sector to claim will be zone 4.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...land quest.png

From the building menu choose the store house and place it on the other side of the bollards.

We can't build an empire solely on stones and pinewood. Lets use the geologist to find metals
Copper ore deposit

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...pper quest.png

From the star menu choose the geologist

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...eo in star.png

Choose the copper ore and click on the green tick to send him away

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...64send geo.png

When he is done, you will see the ore deposit:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...er deposit.png
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

But without a mine we can't use the copper ore, lets build one:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...mine quest.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...mine build.png

Place the building on top of the deposit

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...on deposit.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

When it's finished the mine will start producing copper ore for you until it runs out.
When the mine depletes it will collaps and you will get the building licence back. There is no need to demolish the mine once collapsed, sending the geologist to find copper ore again, will replace the collapsed mine with a new deposit in the same place

Level 9 DONE! :)

Well done so far!

Welcome to level 10

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...37level 10.png

We are missing tools

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ng tools 1.jpg

To buy tools from the merchant we need to have Gems, we get 100 Gems if we login everyday for 7 days.
After clicking on the chest choose Resources tab, then choose the tools.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ay 7 login.png

Now on the other hand we will need coal to keep warm during winter, and to be able to use the ore we have gathered

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...lant quest.png
As always buildings come from building menu

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...build menu.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ne economy.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... economy 2.png


http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

That looked good, but next quest asks us to optimize the pinewood production

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...wood quest.png

On the left side we see how much is being produced, on the right side we see how much is being used. The number at the bottom shows the total number of the produced resource. If it is in green, you are making more than you are using. If it is in red, you are not making enough to have a balanced economy.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...eeconomy 3.png

As it is in red and we see that both sawmills and coker are using logs, we choose the coker and click the stop button to make it sleep

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...stop coker.png
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...pped coker.png

Making the coker sleep, stop producing, And making and placing a fish platter buff on one of my sawmills made the quest finish.

Welcome to level 11, and well done!

Some buildings need tools to be able to be built, to make them we need to smelt the copper ore. To do that we need a copper smelter:

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...lter quest.png

...we also need a toolmaker

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...aker quest.png

Choose them from the building menu and place them on the map

Observe that trading, offering/asking for buffs, asking/offering lootspots is only done in the trade tab, or you will get a warning as i did :(
English only in all tabs, but.. the trade tab is a bit... well look here

Let us add some allies to our friends list
It's always a good idea to ask before sending friends requests, players may not like to get an unannounced request

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...iend quest.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

There are 2 ways of adding a friend:
By clicking the add friend next to the friends list

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...box option.png

...or clicking on the name in the chat window

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...hat option.png

Now that we have a friend we can visit them, either by clicking on the portrait in friends list or by clicking on their name in chat and choosing visit from the menu

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... mates bar.png

Lets buff a friends building, if you do not have a buff, remember where you made one before? In the Provision house.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ates quest.png

As mentioned before, buffs are asked for or offered in trade tab, but we can also use whisper tab to ask a friend personally

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...fed a mate.png

Once you see the swirly yellow patter, you know the buff has been applied. If you see a yellow swirly pattern on any of the buildings on your island, it means that a friend has been kind enough to buff you.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...etyrn home.png

While visiting a friend by clicking on your name in chat and choosing return home or clicking the home button next to the friends list you will return to your home island.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...eturn home.png

By now you should have many quests that are marked as done, go ahead and complete them by chosing them and clicking the green tick.
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...s to press.png

Let us trade.
To see how the Trade system works please click here
You can trade to the other players by creating a trade in the trade office, or you can trade directly with a friend. Direct trade is only possible after 24 hours of the friends request being accepted.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...rade quest.png

The trade office is the scales, don't forget to mention it in trade office.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ffice icon.png

The trade office is empty at first...

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...how trades.png

...but clicking the round arrow will update it.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ades shown.png

We will be selling so choose the sell tab

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...elling tab.png

...select what you wish to sell, at lower levels you may not have much, but this is to learn

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ect trades.png

...select stone to sell

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...93select 2.png

...and fish to buy

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...3set trade.png

This is what we have chosen to sell and ask for. As we are selling and buying, we need only make one thing and we will have bought and sold at the same time, click to send offer.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...rade is up.png

How it looks mentioned in trade and what it looks like in trade office. Our offer! :)

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ld history.png

In the history tab we can see who bought from or who sold to us

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ound quest.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...arms built.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

Back to the farms and field

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...eild quest.png

Once it's done, lets build a new field

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

Now we are done

We need a general

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...eral quest.png

Choose the Tavern and buy the general

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...l in taven.png

Well done quest done!

Welcome to level 14

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...76level 14.png

We started making farms and fields for our brew, now it's time to make a well

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...well quest.png
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

Once the well is done just click ok and start building the brewery

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...wery quest.png

It looks good doesn't it? Our settlers will be happy in the tavern!

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

Remember that general?

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ng general.png

...and click on an empty place on your land

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

The general will take troops with him to battle, but for the troops we need some swords. Lets build a bronze weaponsmith

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...mith quest.png
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png

Once it's built finish the quest and read the next quest, it tells us to produce 5 swords

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ords quest.png

All quests that say produce, means you need to make the items in the workyards. For this quest it's the swordsmith that will make the swords. If you click on the swordsmith you will see a green bar moving, that's how much time a sword has left to be complete. This is automatic, just wait till 5 are made and then your quest is done.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... green bar.png
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...quest done.png

We dont have many weapons brew or tools, lets trade 50 of each

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...e 50 quest.png

After refreshing the Trade office, you can see what is for sell and what it will cost you, make sure to buy what we need, and keep an eye on the costs,...

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ords in TO.png

...or you can search by typing the name of the item

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...rade offer.png

...or by trading offering something for the item you need

And now, this level is done! :) We are getting closer to the end of a beautiful friendship :(

Welcome to level 15

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...02level 15.png

Next Quest tells us to explore 4 sectors, as we already have 2 already explored, we only need to explore 2 more

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...tors quest.png

While the explorer is exploring lets do a side quest coal for the king

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...king quest.png

One part is already done as we have had the coker for a while, else just wait for the coker to make coal. to pay the king all we need to make sure of is that we have the resource and amount required in the store house, in this quest it's 5 coal. lets look in the store house or mayor's house

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...l in store.png

As we have 59 coal open quest book and click the green tick at the bottom

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...g comp;ete.png

And you have payed the king, all you need to do is click the green tick to finish the quest completely

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...after buff.png

And now own 10 recruits
Open barracks and click on recruits

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...0 recruits.png


First unit done and completed..
You are now almost ready for battle

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...oken quest.png

If yours isn't already marked as complete, seeing as mine is and i didn't send my troops to fight, ill do a bug report, for that we need to contact support, clicking the small down arrow(cogwheel) we will get the option

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...897support.png

Clicking support will open new browser tab, choose contact form

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ntact form.png

Here you can contact if you have problems with harassment or your account or if you encounter a bug, even if you suspect some one of cheating, it is here you ask for a name change as well, please do remember the reasons for asking for name changes as explained at the beginning of this guide

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ntact form.png

as we have found a bug we choose problem with the game
explain what the problem is and click send

Back to the game we can bypass needing to send a support ticket by doing the following

Offer a fish on trade office for a stop buff and post a message in trade chat.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... stop buff.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl... stop buff.png

OR just wait for the Mr Myers buff to run out naturally.

Then place the stop buff on your barracks and the 10 recruits will stop looping and make in their normal unbuffed time. When this is done the quest will be complete.
http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...t complete.png


Lets assign the some troops to join the battle

Lets use combat preview, combat preview only works if you have troops attached to your general

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...dits quest.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...at preview.png

Now we can use combat preview, its the 2 swords with a ? on it, once you chosen that choose an enemy camp

First camp

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...251st camp.png

Too high risk, we will loose too many troops

Second camp

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...econd camp.png

As see by the red area, our general will be intercepted,

Third camp

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...third camp.png

This camp seems to be ok, and we will not be intercepted

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...3228attack.png

Let's send an attack chose the general, choose the 2 crossed swords, the attack command, and the camp to attack

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...en walking.png

Your general walking, slowly

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...walk route.png

And attacking once they started the fight

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...8attacking.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...uests done.png

Now let's go kill the leader, liberate and free the new zone

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ader quest.png

As we can see by hovering over the bandit leader he has 12 troops and we only have 9, he is also guarded by a bandit camp next to him

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...dit leader.png

Let's make more troops, as many as you can make you will need them later aswell, you have a whole island to fight

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ake troops.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ys quest 1.png

To do that choose the mayor's house and then the collections tab.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ayrs house.png

As i dont have the right amount of collies to make any buff all numbers are shown in red, but if I had I could make any of the buffs on the list. Hover over them to see what they do.

Quest done.

The explorer can do more than just find new sectors, lets make him find a treasure, and as the quest says, let's hope he finds a stone

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...arch quest.png

From the star menu choose the explorer, this time choose find treasure

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...7exploerer.png

...and short treasure search

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...d treasure.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ort search.png

Please observe that the explorer may find other things, so when sending him to find stone or coins or whatever the quest may ask you to, it may take more than one try.

While we wait for the explorer to come back let's do another quest
Collecting on map items

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ys quest 3.png

It's these they want you to find

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...lys on map.png

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...s on map 2.png

They are totally random so it may take a few searches to find what the quest asks for. Tracking this quest will be a lot of help as you can see how many you already found.
Some are easy to find some are harder, your friends can visit you and help you search. By clicking them they will be marked with a tag.
They respawn every 8 - 10 hours. If you haven't found them by the time they respawn, those you could not find will disappear.
You will also get a quest with every new respawn

Finally that bandit leader, have you sent the troops to fight him?
Attach all the troops you made to the general.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ops in gen.png

Attack the bandit leader and wait, he will get intercepted as shown by the black arrow but you have more than enough troops to handle it.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...ercept pic.png

Quest done. When the leader is dead you will get xp.

http://thesettlersonlinewiki.com/upl...quest done.png

There are 2 ways of clearing bandits from a sector, one is by attacking all camps and getting loot and xp from each of the camps, the other is by trying to only attack the leader. By killing the leader any camp still standing will disappear. This will give you the combined xp from all the camps, but only loot from those camps you actually fought. Killing the bandit leader will give you 10 building licenses. You will find these in the mail.

And that was it
Thank you for reading hope you enjoyed it and learnt something. and Good luck on your travels in the TSO universe
