Beginner Guide
Starting choices, water economy, first village routes, combat basics and early mistakes.
Beginner Guide
A practical first-run plan for Caves of Qud: start safely, learn water and reputation, avoid unfair fights, and build a character with an actual escape plan.
Starting Builds
The safest starting builds are not the ones with the flashiest powers; they are the ones with a damage plan, an escape plan and a way to recover from mistakes.
Water Economy
Water is food, money, reputation pressure and route planning all at once.
Combat Basics
Qud combat rewards positioning, patience and knowing when a monster is not your problem today.
Reputation Basics
Reputation quietly decides who sells to you, who tolerates you and who turns a region hostile.
Beginner Mistakes
Most early deaths are information failures disguised as bad luck.
