GUIDE
Forgotten Runiverse 101: How to Start Your Journey
The Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult is one of the most iconic NFT collections. Now, the cult has a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that anyone can play and earn from.
That's because the minds behind FRWC and their collaborators at Bisonic have finally opened early access to the Forgotten Runiverse on Ronin.
Out of the gate, players will be able to explore 6 regions, 5 dungeons, and 22 quests. Over time, the creators plan to expand this to +30 regions covering ~200 km² virtually.
The game's been an early hit in its playtests, notching more than 1.4 million gameplay hours and +$700k in revenue from pre-launch purchases. If this kind of activity is a taste of what's to come, then the Runiverse is in store for a big 2025.
And if you're interested in trying it for yourself, it's straightforward to dive in—plus the game has a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling, so it's welcoming to newcomers while offering depth for hardcore players.
▶️ How to get started
Head to game.runiverse.world and click the “Don't Have an Account” button. You'll only need an email to create your account here.
Next will come the character builder interface, where you'll customize your wizard and set your name.
At this point, if you own any Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult ecosystem NFTs, you can connect your wallet to tap into their in-game benefits.
Now you can pop into the game for the first time, where you'll be greeted by a guide that will catch you up on the basics of the controls.
Start by completing the first tutorial quests, where you'll learn how crafting and other basic mechanics work. That's all it takes to begin!
🧙 Diving deeper
Once you get through this tutorial phase, you'll be ready to start making your way through the open world on your own.
Yet before you jump into the quests, you may want to start brushing up on some of the more advanced mechanics of the game. For this, some helpful resources include:
📜The Livepaper — The main knowledge base featuring overviews on the game economy, minting, combat, and more.
🪄Forgotten Runiverse Wiki — Community-managed resources including maps, price analytics, and breakdowns on equipment, materials, and spells.
🛒 Ronin Market and OpenSea — NFT marketplaces where you can buy and sell Runiverse land and items in secondary markets.
Once you've got a handle on the game, be sure to keep checking back in on The Font of Memory. This is the Runiverse's Gacha system where you can use Mana that you earn or buy to roll for rewards.
These rewards include useful items, land plots, and Quanta.
Quanta is the Runiverse's in-game currency, which you can earn passively when other players use the buildings on your land. You can also use it to do things like mint items and unlock building upgrades.
It can also be used to claim Partner Token rewards or to claim the upcoming $XP token, which will be used to unlock perks in the game and more.
That said, as the Runiverse expands and more players enter, demand for Quanta may rise, so early accumulation is a smart play. In the meantime, gear up and good luck in the Moonlit Wilds, anon!
