Getting Started

Haven & Hearth can be a daunting experience for new players. Its world relies on the player's intuition and ability to adapt to unfamiliar situations.

However, the way to making a decent settlement is not impossible, and this guide to getting started will hopefully help.



Leveling Up & Progressing
The level system in Haven & Hearth is comprised of 2 major factors: Attributes & Skills. Attributes are gained by eating certain foods and gaining Food Event Points (FEP), whereas skills are gained by earning Learning Points (LP). Both Attributes and Skills can be augmented by wearing certain clothing items.

Gathering Learning points is one of the most important parts of Haven & Hearth.

There are two main ways of gathering LP. The first is to collect items from the wilderness (Tree Seeds, Stones, Fruit, Wood, Small Animals, Clay, etc.). Each item may or may not give LP upon their initial discovery by your character, and the amount varies. The second, and most long-term way of gathering LP is by studying Curiosities (AKA curios). Curiosities are items that are crafted, gathered, or randomly found by your character.

To study a curiosity, you must have available attention (equivalent to your Intelligence attribute), and sufficient Experience points. Curiosities progress over time when being studied, and can take from minutes to hours to complete & pay off.

Early curiosities that you should pursue include Cone Cows, Dandelions, Ant Soldiers, Cat Gold, and Wish bones.
