After an apocalyptic event that transpired centuries ago, you are reborn into the world of Chimeraland. The world is vast and diverse, being the home of many mythical beasts, beautiful ecosystems, and ancient structures. Anyone can be an ally but anyone can be an enemy as well and everything that happens in your adventure is ultimately up to you, the traveler.

Chimeraland is quite a complex world and you will need to familiarize yourself with a bunch of things in order to survive in it. In this guide, we’ll show you all of the things you need to know and guide you in your adventure when you play Chimeraland.

Character Creation

Chimeraland is not just home to the human species but it is also home to a wide array of humanoid ones as well.

Selecting the species of your character is done by traversing clockwise or counterclockwise through the character wheel. Additionally, you can set your character’s age by going closer to or farther from the center of the character wheel.

Upon selecting your character, you can further customize them. Impressively, Chimeraland gives you the option to customize every aspect of your character like their hair, face, body, and makeup. More impressively, you can modify the specific proportions of body parts.

Gameplay

Resource Gathering

Chimeraland is filled with resources that you need to survive such as meat, fruits, logs, stones, and others. 

A Beginner Traveler’s Guide to Chimeraland

With ingredients such as animal meat and fruits, you can cook multiple dishes which your character can consume to refill their health and fullness. Crafting and setting up a camp is required in order to prepare food in Chimeraland.

A Beginner Traveler’s Guide to Chimeraland

Materials such as wood, stone, and fiber are used to create structures and objects for your house such as walls, bases, windows, stairs, and furniture. Additionally, these materials are also required to upgrade your Home Level.

A Beginner Traveler’s Guide to Chimeraland

Resources can be gathered by going close enough to the source and clicking its interaction icon. To gather logs for wood, interact with trees to start cutting them down. To gather stone, interact with rocks to start mining them. There are plentiful sources of materials in Chimeraland and it is a must to harvest from them (Chimeraland – Resource Gathering Strategies and Tips).

Combat and Weapons

Chimeraland has a wide selection of weapons and wearable equipment. 

A Beginner Traveler’s Guide to Chimeraland

All of your owned equipment is stored in the Satchel where they are neatly organized into their own categories. Through the Satchel menu, you can assign at most five of your equipment to “Hotkeys” for easy access.

Weapons in Chimeraland can be melee or ranged weapons, and some have special capabilities that allow you to do unique actions (i.e., attack while in mid-air). Melee weapons have a regular attack as well as a special attack that effectively deals more damage but has a cooldown time. Ranged weapons (i.e., crossbows) require ammo that can be crafted manually.

A Beginner Traveler’s Guide to Chimeraland

Equipment can eventually break and become temporarily unusable unless they are repaired. To repair broken items, you can go to your Satchel and click on the “Restore” button to bring the restoration menu.

Repairing an item requires agates which come in three different grades: Mixed, Fine, and Rare. The higher the grade of the agate is, the more durability is given to the item once repaired. 

Repairing a broken item refills its durability but decreases its hardness. Once the hardness goes down to zero, you can no longer repair the item again.

Quests

Quests are going to be your main path of progression in Chimeraland. Available quests can be accessed from the Basic Quest Instruction box which can be accessed by clicking on the yellow exclamation mark or by pressing Tab.
