2. Get aquinted with the Krafties HUD
3. Get used to your Active pet
4. Start exploring the game!

How Do I Officially Join Krafties?

Joining will essentially register you on the Krafties servers as a player so it can keep track of your progress in the game. Once you have joined you will receive a Necessity Pack, a Free Starter Pack Temples (no trans set of temples) and a Free Starter Kraftie Creature (unless a friend has already given you a pet to start out with). If that is the case, then that Kraftie will be registered as your Free Kraftie, and you will not receive an additional Free one from us.

There are a handful of ways to join Krafties and start playing. Krafties Adventurers just starting out will be given either a Free Aviaa (Bird like creature) or Rexie (Dinosaur like creature). Creature assignment is random. Each Kraftie Creature will be assigned a specific Element (color). You can choose the Element you want to start with or you will randomly be assigned one. Please read on to see the different ways to join and the specifics.....

• Clicking on any of the four Elemental Temples around the main sim. Joining by this method will allow you to pick the Element (color) of your Free Krafties Creature. You can choose from Earth (brown), Wind (Light Purple), Fire (Red) or Water (Blue)
• Clicking on the Krafties Invitation Box that can be found outside the front right wall of the Krafties Store. This method will deliver a Necessity Pack that will get you started. You do not get to choose the Element of your first Kraftie with this method. It will be randomly assigned.
• Having your friend invite you. They just need to touch their own pet and select "invite" in their Krafties menu while you are standing near them. Select "Yes" from the menu once you are invited. You will see a confirmation in local chat and then you will be sent a "Necessity Pack". You do not get to choose the Element of your Kraftie with this method. It will be randomly assigned.
• Invite yourself by clicking on a friend's Kraftie and selecting "Join" from the pop up menu. You will be asked to join Krafties, select "Yes" from the menu once you are invited. You will see a confirmation in local chat and then you will be sent a "Necessity Pack". You do not get to choose the Element of your Kraftie with this method. It will be randomly assigned.
• Obtain a "Necessity Pack" from behind the Krafties main store (big green box)

Joining Krafties by an invite from your friend, or clicking on their Creature is a good thing! Once you reach level 4 overall with your Kraftie, your friend will receive 75 Energy for inviting you. If they have a Silver or Gold Membership, they receive double that (150E). Keep in mind, this is a great way for YOU to earn Energy! Invite your friends, family and foes and get Energy rich!!!!

Once you have your Necessity Pack from any of the above methods, you ready to get started on your Krafties Adventure!

The Necessity Pack and Its Contents

Krafties HUD

You simply cannot play the game without it, so be sure to have one! Extra Necessity Pack are always available from behind the Krafties Store.

Krafties HUD

• Everything you do in Krafties requires you to wear your Krafties HUD, so it is important that you get familiar with using it.
• The great thing about Krafties is that all information is stored on a external server, you cannot loose your pets or progress even if you misplace your HUD.
• The HUD will attach to the top left corner of your monitor. You can add the hud to any location on your monitor.
  Just detach and click "Attach to hud" , then choose desired location to attach HUD
• There are quite a few Apps in your Krafties HUD. Then can all be enabled by clicking the "Open App" button. Please see Krafties HUDfor complete information on the use of your HUD and all of its functions.

Creature Attachment

The "Creature Attachment" is the object that will morph into your active Krafties creature. Be sure to have it on at all times so you can see your amazing Kraftie inworld!

Tool: Right Hand

• The "Tool:Right Hand" is that object that will morph into either your Standard Net or Pick Axe should you choose to catch wild Krafties or partake in Mining.

Now That I Am Familiar with the Equipment.. What Do I Do Next?

To officially begin your Krafties Adventure, please make sure you have media "enabled" on your SL viewer. This is ESSENTIAL in order for your HUD to work properly. Simply rez your Necessity Pack on the ground (make sure you are in a rez enabled area) and open it. Copy the items into your inventory. Right click on the folder that contains the items and "add to your current outfit". This will attach the HUD ( you will see it appear on your screen), the Creature Attachment and the Tool Attachment. A short "start up video" will begin to play. Do NOT close the video. As you watch the video, you will be introduced to your first Kraftie Creature, and at the end of the video will receive your "Starter Pack". Please make sure you name your Kraftie when prompted in the video. (if undecided, you will be able to name it at a later time). Once the video is over and you receive your "Starter Pack" you can begin your Krafties Adventure!

Where Do I Find My Kraftie?

• Click "Open App" on your HUD > Home app > My Bonded Creatures. You will see your Kraftie sitting there.. patiently waiting for you to bring him into the Krafties Wilderness!!
• Click the box in the HUD that has the Kraftie that you want to activate. Choose "Activate" and you will see your Kraftie magically appear inworld!
