Crea Beginner’s Guide et conseils

Getting into Crea for the first time? Look at the wiki less and play more with these helpful tips! Crea, though seeming simple, is quite the journey with a slight learning curve to it. Mais ne’ne t'inquiète pas! Il’s time to cover important items you’ll frequently need, un (semi-ideal) build for solo players, monsters and bosses, and anything else I can think of!

Commencer

Toolbar Keys

• Q: Mining equipment. C'est là que tu’ll equip your mattocks and torches.
• O: Armes. This is for your bows, flèches, épées, boucliers, wands, and spears.
• Languette: Switches to a secondary weapon loadout (entre 1 et 2). Meaning you can equip a bow and quiver in slot 1, and then a sword and shield in slot 2, then switch between melee and ranged using Tab.
• 1-9 et 0: Triggers items and abilities slotted in the Toolbar.
• Ctrl + 1-4: Switches between Toolbars 1 à travers 4. This allows for four different ability loadouts (c'est à dire. Ctrl+1 is for exploration, Ctrl+2 is for buffs, Ctrl+3 is for battle, Ctrl+4 is for building)
• F: Switches the mining size.
• Changement + clic gauche (with mattocks equipped): Mine the background
• Double tap A or D: Activates running.
• E: Interact with objects and people
• g: Grappin

Menu Keys

• M: Opens the map. Default is closed, and cycles through a minimap, map overlay, and finally the world map.
• je: Inventaire
• C: Artisanat
• R: Character sheet. This is for equipping accessories, armure, and assigning stat points.
• T: Talents
• L: Traditions
• Esc: Paramètres

Stuff that involves S

• A/D + S: Dodge left or right.
• S + barre d'espace: Go down a platform. Holding S and spamming the spacebar does not make you descend any faster. Sometimes the key combo doesn’t'inscrire. Very common to roll afterwards.

Important Settings to Know

Général

• Difficulté: Typically kept on Normal (for the best experience!)
• Combat display: Shows the health bars of all damageable creatures. Default is Mouseover, pourtant, Damaged is also good to use to keep the health bars from disappearing after a few seconds.
• Show Combat Numbers: Change as you wish, bien que ce’s good to leave them Enabled
• Place Items On Grid: Change as you wish. Enabled will make building a lot easier.
• Toolbar Placement: Changes where the toolbar will be, either Top or Bottom.
• Auto Toolbar: Auto-switches the toolbar. Weapon loadout 1 (O) = Ctrl+1. Weapon loadout 2 (O + Languette) = Ctrl+2. Exploitation minière (Q) = Ctrl+3. You can still switch manually. Personnellement, je’d leave this Disabled.

Graphique

• Mode d'affichage: Ideally Windowed (Plein écran)
• Zoom: How close the camera is to the player. Personnellement, I play with 125%.
• UI Zoom: How big the UI is on the screen.

Talents and Stats

Statistiques

• Santé: Increases your health
• Endurance: Increases your stamina (PS). You will consume SP when fighting, en cours d'exécution, rolling, and casting spells
• Attaque: Increases physical attack
• La défense: Increases physical defense

Talents and how to earn Talent Points (TP)

Bras
TP: Use melee weapons, arcs, and abilities

Artisanat

D'accord, someone really wanted to make crafting a pain. Alors ici’s a trick to cheat the system! Keep in mind that some skills mentioned will be unlocked over time and that my advice will not get the equipment to max quality, but will get it to at least 100+ if you pay attention and get lucky.

What is crafting?

An overly complex minigame essentially.

Elements of Crafting

When making anything that can be enchanted, such as a weapon or a piece of armor, il y a « Équilibre » et « Qualité ». Quality determines the stats and rarity of the object being crafted, and the balance determines how long you can click buttons for basically. The higher the quality, the better the stats.

FOR EXAMPLE

• A sword can be crafted with damage between 10 et 20 points.
• I make a sword with a quality of 100, out of maximum quality of 200.
• The sword’s damage will be on the mid-higher end of the range (anywhere between 15-17 points de dégâts), et ça’s rarity will increase from Common to Uncommon or even Rare

Meta-Game the Crafting System

1. Polish and Sharpen (if you have the skills unlocked) – This will greatly boost quality gain.
2. Refine – Spam Refine until one of the quality modifiers above runs out, or balance drops below half.
3. Reverse Entropy – Boosts balance gain.
4. Restaurer – Gives back a lot of balance. Spam until Reverse Entropy runs out.
5. Refine – Si tu’re lucky enough, by this point you’ll be losing more balance than you can gain, so might as well do one last push for as much quality as you can. If you want to bother with Polish and Sharpen again, que’s your own choice.

An NPC can be made with two items: A Costume and a Mannequin. Some Costumes can be found, though they are mostly crafted.
