What To Check First

Use Old Camp when you need early structure: trainers, merchants, arena routes, admission quests, and the bridge into castle business. It is especially useful before spending LP on Strength, Dexterity, one-handed combat, Lockpick, or Pickpocket.

Trainer checks: Diego and Thorus for attributes, Scatty for one-handed combat, Fingers for Lockpick and Pickpocket.
Quest checks: Admission to the Old Camp, Snaf's Recipe, A Letter from the Fire Mages, and New Fence for Fisk.
Route checks: outer ring first, then castle links when a guard, mage, or ore-baron objective opens.

Camp Route Warning

Old Camp can look like the safest first choice, but it still affects faction, trainer, and quest access. Compare your build page and trainer finder before treating the camp as a permanent commitment.

Melee players should compare Strength and weapon mastery before joining.
Utility players should decide whether Fingers' Lockpick route is worth early LP.
Magic players should check the Old Camp Castle and Fire Mage route before spending mana.
