Haven and the UO Tutorial
Accepting The Invitation
The first time you log in, you will receive an invitation to take the tutorial. Given the depth and complexity of this game, players must enter the tutorial at least once. We strongly suggest you accept the invitation on continual occasions, until you feel comfortable with playing the game. After this initial entry, players will be able to exit the tutorial as desired. This tutorial is not a dry series of help screens. Instead it is a guided walk-through of the game environment that teaches you important basics, such as how to move around, how to fight, and how to interact with the world. It also has the virtue of being brief. New players will also be able to review parts of the tutorial at will, via the help selection menu.

Visiting Haven
Once you complete the tutorial, you will be taken to Haven. Haven is a city where new players can learn “the ropes” of Ultima Online. Since all players exiting the tutorial will need to become comfortable with their new skills, Haven provides a safe venue where that can be done. When you feel comfortable, you can choose to learn the more advanced features of the game.

In Haven, you will be able to find Companions. Companions are players who choose to spend their time in Haven helping new players and answering any questions you may have. In addition to Companions, Haven will have smarter NPCs (Non-Player Characters) than the rest of Britannia. Non-Player Characters are characters that are operated by computer, rather than by human players. If asked, they will be able to give clear directions, tell you where the nearest Companion is and, if you are at the correct station, they will be able to give you instruction on how to use a skill. For instance, if you wish to learn how to blacksmith, the Haven blacksmith could provide you with tools, materials, and basic instructions.

Hint: To seek out instruction in a particular skill, find its associated NPC by double-clicking the NPC to view its paperdoll. For example, to learn about blacksmithing, seek out the NPC blacksmith in Haven and ask him (or her) to teach you about blacksmithing.

Being Young
When you set foot in Britannia for the very first time, you will be considered a “young” player and be granted certain privileges and rights as such. Shards like Siege Perilous, Mugen, and Baekdu (Siege shards) are shards for advanced players only. Players with "Young" status cannot access them. This status grants you certain forms of protection unavailable to more experienced players, including:


Young players may not damage other players, nor may other players damage young players.
Monsters that would normally react in a hostile manner will not attack new players unless they are quest monsters.
Young players will be teleported to a healer upon dying and will retain any belongings.
Young players can insta-log anywhere.
Young players may not loot monsters they did not kill for two minutes after the death of the monster.
Other players may not loot monsters killed by young players.
Young players may not steal from other players or NPCs.
Losing Young Status
“Young” status is affected by your total playtime with your account, and is not calculated on a per-character basis. A player loses their "Young" status if their account age goes above more than 40 hours and their characters:


Have more than 450 total skill points
Have 'young' status revoked by a Game Master
Players can also end their “Young” status by saying the words, "I renounce my young player status".

Starting Equipment
When you first arrive in Britannia, you will be in a public area of the city you selected. Your initial possessions are:


A shirt
Shoes
A pair of breeches or a skirt (depending on your character's gender)
A backpack
A candle
A blank book (your "diary")
Basic equipment for your starting skills
1000 gold pieces
Initial objects have no monetary value to any of the merchants in the game.
