# Your First Day
A practical beginner path based on systems present in the game.
## New Player Starter Pack
Every new player receives a **free Starter Pack** when their character is created. These rewards are granted automatically by the game, so there is no purchase or claim transaction required.
### Gold, Fishing & Recovery

### Standard Tools Available From the Start
Every character has access to these five basic tools in the **Equip** tab. They are available by default, rather than granted as tradeable item stacks.

{% endhint %}
## First-Day Checklist
1. **Log in with your wallet** and verify the current Robinhood Chain network. Complete character registration and set your six-digit Secret PIN if this is your first login.
2. **Find your status display** and learn where Energy and Stamina appear.
3. **Open Inventory** and check the Gold, Free Lure, crop seeds and Energy Pack listed in your Starter Pack. Your five basic tools are available in the Equip tab.
4. **Prepare an unlocked farm tile** using the Hoe.
5. **Select and plant a seed** from your inventory.
6. **Water the crop** as required by the farming system.
7. **Check Quests** for planting and harvesting objectives.
8. Explore additional menus, including **Shops, Friends and the World Map**, when ready.
Crops need time and proper care to mature. Their growth depends on planting time, watering and the game's current growth settings.
**Beginner tip:** Do not exhaust all Energy and Stamina immediately. Check remaining resources before a long sequence of actions.
