Dreadmyst: Connection Fixes and Beginner’s Guide
If you are having trouble logging into Dreadmyst or getting “disconnected” errors, you are not alone. This guide covers the essential steps for account creation, troubleshooting server stability, and key gameplay mechanics to help you get started in the world of St. Revere.
1. How to Create an Account and Join
Before you can play, you must complete the registration process through the official website.
- Registration: Visit the “My Account” section at dreadmyst.com to sign up.
- Verification: Check your email for a confirmation message and use the provided link to set your password.
- Entry: Open the game client, log in with your new credentials, and create your first character to begin.
2. Troubleshooting “Disconnected” and “Server Full” Errors
The game is currently experiencing high traffic, with over 20,000 registered players attempting to connect. This can cause several login issues.
- Fixing Disconnections: * First, ensure the game is added to your Firewall exceptions.
- If the error persists, simply attempt to log in multiple times in a row; persistent attempts often bypass the temporary authentication lag.
- Server is Full: * The developers are currently re-architecting the authentication system to handle the massive influx of players.
- Limits on the number of players per server are being kept in place temporarily while these changes are finalized.
- If you cannot get in, it is recommended to check the official Discord for real-time server updates.
3. Essential Gameplay Tips for New Players
Once you are in the game, follow these strategies to optimize your character’s progression and equipment.
- Exp & Attributes: Do not spend all your Experience on skills alone. Hover your mouse over a specific skill to see which Attributes (Stats) influence it, and invest Exp into those characteristics accordingly.
- Saving Gold: Save your currency to buy Blue-quality (Rare) armor and weapons in the city of St. Revere.
- Learning Spells: You can find class-specific NPCs to buy spellbooks just north of the St. Revere market square.
- Repairing Gear: Your equipment will lose durability over time. To fix it, talk to a merchant, select “I’d like to browse your goods,” and click the Repair button.
- Accidental Sales: If you accidentally sell a valuable item to an NPC, click the arrow next to the Repair button in the merchant’s interface to buy it back.
- Banking: To store items you don’t want to carry, find Harold <Banker>. He is located in the northern part of the city, just past the cemetery.
