Get into the game

HermesWorld is a hold-to-play world. To enter, you need a HermesWorld account and a Solana wallet holding $HERMESWORLD.

• Click Play and sign in (or sign up) with Google.
• Connect your wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or WalletConnect) and verify you hold the token.
• Once verified, launch in your browser instantly — or download the native client for best performance.

Create your character

Pick your mythic avatar and claim your founder name. Your character is your identity in the world — it persists across every session, on web and native alike.

Learn the controls

• W A S D — move your character.
• Mouse — hold right-click and drag to rotate the camera.
• Left-click — select NPCs, enemies, and resource nodes.
• Hotbar — your abilities sit on the skill bar; click or press the number keys to use them.
• Click a quest — quest text is clickable; follow the markers it gives you.

Start in the Training Grounds

Every new player begins in the Training Grounds — the safe starter zone. This is where you learn movement, combat, and your first abilities before stepping into the wider world. Take your time; nothing here will overwhelm you.

Take your first quest

Find the trainer NPC and accept "The First Errand." Quests are how you learn the world and earn your first rewards. Click the quest to read it, then follow the on-screen marker to the objective.

• Talk to the quest-giver (look for the marker above their head).
• Read the quest — it tells you exactly what to do and where to go.
• Complete the objective, then return to turn it in for XP and rewards.

Win your first fight

Target an enemy with left-click, then use your abilities from the hotbar to bring it down. Start with the training dummies and weak creatures near spawn, then work outward as you level up.

• Select the target, get in range, and use your basic attack.
• Mix in your abilities — they hit harder and have cooldowns.
• Defeated enemies drop loot and XP. Tougher mobs live further from town.

Reach AgoraTown

When you leave the Training Grounds you arrive in AgoraTown — the civic heart of HermesWorld. Merchants, trainers, quest-givers, and the gods themselves gather here. This is your home base for trading, restocking, and picking up new quests.

Farm, sell, and earn

HermesWorld runs a real player economy. Here's the loop:

• Gather — mine ore nodes and chop trees for raw materials.
• Sell — sell to a merchant for instant gold, or list on the Auction House for more.
• Spend — buy gear, craft, and upgrade with your gold.
• Earn — sell your gold to other players for $HERMESWORLD.

Meet the gods

The Olympians live in the world with you, each tied to a different system:

• Hermes — quests, trade routes, and fast errands.
• Zeus — high-tier mandates and world events.
• Athena — strategy, tutorials, and tactical challenges.
• Apollo — light, healing, and prophecy.
• Hephaestus — the forge, crafting, and gear.
• Demeter — the harvest and the farming lands.
