== Quick Connection Information ==
To connect to UO:Renaissance, configure your client (Razor, ClassicUO, or UOR Launcher) with the following server settings:

'''Tip:''' Accounts are created on your first login attempt. Make sure to remember your password, as it will be tied to that account name permanently.
</div>

== Step 1: Downloading & Installing the Game ==
You can download the full installer and client packages directly from the official website:
* [https://uorenn.com/getting-started/ '''UO:Renaissance Full Game Client & Launcher'''] — Includes the complete game files, art, sound, and connection utilities.
* '''Razor Assistant''' — The recommended tool for macros, hotkeys, screen resolution, and targeting.
* '''ClassicUO Client''' — Modern, high-framerate open-source client compatible with modern operating systems and high-DPI displays.

For a comprehensive guide on configuring your client options and Razor, see [[Razor & Client Setup]].

== Step 2: Character Creation ==
When launching the game and logging into Britannia for the first time, you will be prompted to create your first character.

=== Attribute Points (Stats) ===
You are given '''80 total attribute points''' to allocate across your three core stats:
* '''Strength (STR)''': Dictates your Maximum Hit Points (HP) and carrying capacity. Highly recommended to start with high Strength (e.g., 45–50) for survivability.
* '''Dexterity (DEX)''': Dictates your Stamina, weapon swing speed, and bandage application speed.
* '''Intelligence (INT)''': Dictates your Maximum Mana pool for casting spells.

The stat cap on UO:Renaissance is '''225 total points''' (with a maximum of 100 in any single attribute before buffs).

=== Starting Skills ===
You can distribute '''100 skill points''' across three chosen skills. Because some skills are much harder to train than others, choosing the right starting skills saves enormous time:
* '''Recommended to Start High (50 / 50 or 50 / 49 / 1):'''
** '''Magery''' — Reagents and spellbooks cost gold; starting with 50 Magery gives you an immediate spellcasting foundation.
** '''Resisting Spells (Magic Resist)''' — Very slow to train manually in the wild; starting with 50 Resist is widely recommended.
** '''Healing''' — Vital for any warrior or adventurer relying on bandages.
** '''Inscribe / Alchemy / Blacksmithy''' — Resource-intensive crafting skills benefit greatly from 50 starting points.
* '''Skills to NOT Pick at Creation:'''
** Weapon skills (Swordsmanship, Fencing, Mace Fighting), Tactics, Anatomy, and Hiding can easily be trained from town NPCs up to ~30.0 for a few coins of gold!

=== Recommended Beginner Templates ===
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%; margin: 16px 0;"
|-
! scope="col" style="width: 25%;" | Archetype
! scope="col" style="width: 35%;" | Starting Skills
! scope="col" | Description & Role
|-
| '''The Dexxer / Warrior'''
| 50 Healing, 50 Resisting Spells
| Tough, self-reliant melee fighter. Buy your weapon skill and Tactics from town guards/trainers to 30 immediately.
|-
| '''The Mage / Adventurer'''
| 50 Magery, 50 Resisting Spells
| Versatile spellcaster capable of high burst damage, travel via Mark/Recall, and gate spells.
|-
| '''The Bard / Provoker'''
| 50 Musicianship, 50 Provocation
| Highly effective PvM money-maker. Uses monsters' strength against each other with no reagent or weapon costs.
|}

== Step 3: Starting City & The Young Player Program ==
When choosing your starting town, new players are strongly encouraged to select '''Ocllo'''.

=== The Island of Ocllo (Newbie Sanctuary) ===
Ocllo is Britannia's official **Young Player Haven**. It contains every major merchant, trainer, bank, forge, and a dungeon specially tailored for beginners to hunt skeletons, zombies, and orcs without fear of outside interference.

=== Young Player Status ===
New characters on UO:Renaissance are automatically granted '''[Young]''' status:
* '''Sanctuary Protection:''' While Young, other players cannot attack you, steal from you, or loot your corpse.
* '''Free Resurrections & Teleportation:''' If you perish in the wild, you can type <code>[renounce</code> or call out to spirit healers, and you will not lose your belongings.
* '''Renouncing Young Status:''' You can voluntarily give up Young status at any time by typing:
: <code>[young</code>
* '''Automatic Graduation:''' Young status automatically expires after '''40 hours of gameplay''' or when your character reaches '''450 total skill points'''.

For full details, visit the [[Young Player System]] guide.

== Step 4: NPC Skill Training (Instant Boost to 30.0) ==
Do not start training skills from 0! Town NPCs in Britannia can train your skills up to roughly '''30.0''' immediately in exchange for gold coins:
# Approach an NPC appropriate to the skill (e.g., a Guard or Fighter for Swordsmanship/Tactics, a Mage for Magery/Eval, a Healer for Anatomy/Healing).
# Say: <code>[NPC Name] train</code> (e.g., ''"John train"'') to see what they can teach you.
# Say: <code>[NPC Name] train [skill]</code> (e.g., ''"John train swordsmanship"'').
# The NPC will state the cost (usually around 200–300 gold coins).
# Drag and drop the exact gold amount onto the NPC to receive your instant skill gain!

A full directory of trainers across all towns can be found in [[Starting Towns]].

== Step 5: Essential In-Game Commands ==
Here are several commands every new player should know:
* <code>[where</code> — Displays your current world coordinates and map location.
* <code>[young</code> — Check your remaining Young status hours or renounce status.
* <code>[help</code> — Access the in-game help menu and staff support page.
* <code>bank</code> — Say near any town banker to open your personal bank box (safe storage).
* <code>guards</code> — Calls the town guards if you are attacked by criminals inside town protection.
