New Player Roadmap
New Player Guide
Welcome to Redemption! This guide is designed to help brand-new players understand what to focus on during their first few days.
Redemption has a lot of custom systems, bosses, gear, events, shops, account progression, and long-term upgrades. That can feel overwhelming at first. This guide does not try to explain everything. Instead, it gives you a practical early path to follow so you can build your account, earn money, and reach a point where the rest of the game starts to make more sense.
Your first week will mostly revolve around Slayer, especially Hard Slayer Tasks. Slayer helps you build gear, earn points, unlock important systems, and progress toward stronger account bonuses.
Starter Code: Type ::code-wikistarter in-game to claim the current wiki starter code.
Using This Guide: Many systems mentioned in this guide are linked to their own wiki pages. If you see a blue link, click it to open a more detailed guide for that system. This page gives you the main path to follow, while the linked guides explain the details.
Core Early Game Loop
The early game is mainly about building momentum through Slayer. Your goal is not to master every system immediately. Your goal is to reach a stable place where you have Slayer prestiges, gear, Prayer, Karma, and enough account progression to start making your own decisions.
Main idea: Complete Hard Slayer Tasks, earn Slayer points, roll the Global Slayer Drop Table, collect Slayer skips, and push toward higher Slayer Prestiges. This is the main path that gets new players into the more modern part of the game.

Events to Watch For
Events are not meant to replace your normal progression path, but they are still worth paying attention to. If an event is active, it is usually a good idea to go because you can earn money, receive useful rewards, and engage with the community.
New Player Tip: Skilling events have no skilling level requirements. PvM events may require you to survive the boss or area, but they typically do not require a high Slayer Prestige to participate. Most PvM events are masses with enough players to help carry newer players, and the boosted loot often makes them worth attending.
| Event | Length | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bounty Hunter Weekend Event | 48 to 72 Hours | Players attempt to be one of the first 3 to collect a specified item from a list of items. |
| PvM Bingo | 48 Hours | Players try to complete a row up, down, or diagonal by earning collection log drops shown on ::bingo. Complete the drops and earn a huge reward.
|
| Lost Relics | 72 Hours | Players collect as many Lost Relics as possible from various bosses and skilling activities. The top 5 win rewards. |
| Slayer Showdown | 48 Hours | Players earn as many points as possible by completing Slayer tasks, contracts, and Executioner tasks. The top 5 win rewards. |
| Vaultbreaker | 72 Hours | Players collect vault key fragments from a specific list of bosses. The top 3 keep their fragments and can turn them into keys used at the Vault. |
| Weekend Event Box | Reward Item | A reward box commonly used throughout Weekend Events. |
When in doubt, show up. Even if you are new, events are a good way to make money, see what other players are doing, and get involved with the community.
Slayer Skips and the Global Slayer Drop Table
After reaching Slayer Prestige 1, you can begin earning important Slayer skip items from the Global Slayer Drop Table. This table can be accessed while completing Hard Slayer Tasks. Each kill completed during a Hard Slayer Task gives you a chance to roll on the Global Slayer Drop Table.
Important: Stack up Slayer Prestige Task Skips as much as possible. Continuing Hard Slayer Tasks and collecting skips is usually the fastest way to move into the more modern Slayer Prestiges.
First Five Days Roadmap
This roadmap does not have to be followed perfectly. Some players will move faster, and some will move slower. The point is to give you a clear direction so you know what to focus on first.

|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Player's Task Companion, Slayer, Hard Tasks, Gear Progression | Prestige 1 Slayer, Hard Tasks unlocked |
| Day 2 | Prestige 5 Slayer, Prayer, Daily Tasks, Task Skips | Player's Task Companion finished, 150 Prayer, Prestige 5 Slayer, Tier 2 Gear |
| Day 3 | Boss Tasks, Konar Tasks, Slayer points, Karma | Boss/Konar unlocks started, Karma Book started, Tier 3-4 Gear |
| Day 4 | Item Grinder, Advanced Item Grinder unlock, Slayer 11+ | 25M Grinder Points goal, Prestige 11+, Tier 5 Gear |
| Day 5 | Early Midgame setup | Solid Slayer loop, Prayer/Karma started, gear path understood |
Day 1 - Start Slayer and Unlock the Global Slayer Drop Table
