Build Planner
Best first-save build: focused Strength melee with weapon mastery, Strength for your next weapon, and armor as soon as the route supports it. Strongest planned route: Strength/Magic hybrid after you confirm one-handed mastery, magic circle access, trainers, faction gates, and gear. Ranged and pure magic can be strong, but they need tighter LP planning.
Route presets
Use a preset when you want a practical sequence instead of reading every row at once.
Save before large Strength or mastery lessons, then confirm the next weapon requirement.
Save before circle training if your camp and mage route are not settled.
Save before Dexterity or ranged mastery lessons if supply routes are not stable.
Decision table
Use these rows when you need the next safe move before spending LP, ore, travel time, or quest progress.
Can you reach Strength, weapon mastery, armor, and a usable melee weapon soon?
Splitting early LP across magic, ranged, and utility can leave every route weak.
Melee backbone, magic circle access, Mana teachers, faction comfort, and armor.
Hybrid builds fail when magic arrives before survival.
Next weapon, next spell, next utility payoff, and teacher route.
Bank LP if the lesson does not unlock a current route.
Training because a teacher is nearby is the fastest way to flatten a build.
Execution planner
Each card is an execution checklist, not a tier list. When exact costs can move between patches, the linked skill and trainer pages tell you what to confirm in your save; this planner focuses on sequencing, routes, and the pages you will actually click mid-run.
Beginner-friendly
Commit to one melee weapon family, buy the mastery gate early, then feed Strength to match the next weapon tier. Faction choice mainly changes how annoying the hikes to those teachers are.
Old Camp is the simplest logistics for a first run; New Camp still works if you prefer rice-field routing—either way, line up teachers before you burn LP.
Route-sensitive
Dex builds hinge on whether you can reach bow or crossbow teachers and whether your faction keeps those routes short. Treat ammo and weapon drops as part of the build, not an afterthought.
Pick the camp whose safe routes you actually enjoy walking—the ranged teacher run is the hidden boss.
Setup-heavy
Magic wants clean circle progression, mana investment, and awareness of which camp actually supports your mage route. Expect slower early pacing in exchange for late power spikes.
Swamp and mage-linked routes are the usual homework spots—read the faction page with magic intent, not only melee perks.
Discipline required
Hybrids work for exploration if you keep a strict budget: one combat backbone, one utility hobby, and everything else deferred. Never let curiosity spend the LP reserved for your main weapon mastery.
Old Camp is still the lowest-surprise logistics for hybrids because water, rice, and mine routes are well documented—pick another camp only if you enjoy the hike.

For most first saves, Strength melee is the best starting route because it is easiest to keep supplied, trained, and protected. For a strongest planned route, build around Strength first, then add magic once trainers, circles, faction access, and gear line up. Dexterity ranged is the best safer-pull route once bow teachers and arrows are stable.
The execution planner lays out four concrete routes with LP priorities, trainer links, faction context, weapon targets, pitfalls, and ordered steps. The cards beneath are quick reminders—use them as bookmarks, not replacements for the planner.
When exact breakpoints are still being pinned down, guidance stays route-based and calls out anything you should verify in your own save.
FAQ
Strength melee is the best first-save answer because it is the easiest route to train, gear, and survive with. Add magic later only after you confirm trainers, circle access, and faction comfort.
Strength/Magic hybrid is the strongest planned route when one-handed mastery, Strength, circles, mana, faction access, and gear all line up. If you are new, start with focused melee first.
Hybrid works when it means one combat backbone plus one utility. It becomes weak when you spend LP on every interesting skill before meeting weapon or spell requirements.
Yes. Keep some LP until you know your trainer and faction route, especially if you want magic or weapon mastery later.
Yes. Factions can change trainer access, armor, quest rewards, and build comfort, so compare factions before committing.
