Getting Started on the Range

Establish your Fort

After signing in, open Account and select Establish Your Fort. An available Open Range location is chosen for your Fort, and your travels begin there. Your Account page shows both your Fort and current position. Start by noting that home position before exploring, so you can plan a route back to your Fort.

Take your first steps

Use the movement buttons to travel around the surface. Visit a Gold Mine to gather Gold and Hunting Grounds to gather Supplies. Each individual gathering location can be used once per world cycle, so keep exploring.

Visit an Outfitter to improve gathering and unlock other upgrades. The Movement & Wagon Train, Gathering Gold & Supplies, and Fixed Service Locations articles explain those systems in more detail.
