'''This guide assumes''' that you have [https://dqxabbey.com/pages/resources/payment_guide.html bought the game] and are no longer a trial player. If you are a Trial player, you can still follow this guide, but be aware that you will be unable to progress or participate in certain quests or objectives.
Second, be aware that DQXClarity uses machine translation APIs (either DeepL or Google Translate, depending on how you set your client up) to live-translate the game, and machine translators are inherently kind of bad at translating Japanese to English. While there are some excellent hand-translated pieces courtesy of the DQXClarity team (primarily story quests, menu items, and phrases like “This quest has been transgressed with finesse!”), some parts of the game will lack the standard polish you’d find in a normal Dragon Quest release. '''''This is not the developers fault, nor is it DQXClarity’s fault either''''' — translation and localization are difficult and AI cannot do it at the level actual human translators can, so always keep a wiki tab open if you get lost.

Line 69:
For those who are more endgame-minded, most Vocations, including the starting six, can be used in endgame content. As with most MMOs, this is not equal and some are clearly more prized than others, but generally speaking you will find a place in the party for your main Vocation. That being said, it's a good idea (once you get the opportunity) to level multiple Vocations so you're able to fulfill multiple roles if needed. Certain party compositions shine better than others in certain fights, so it's a good idea to have multiple options at your disposal.
Once you have finalized your appearance, you will be booted back to the main menu. Select your character — the game will prompt you to select a server as well. {{font color | red |Select either server 9 or 10, the ones marked New/Returning Players.}} Playing on either server 9 or 10 allows you to participate in [[Metal Rookie Corps]] Invasions, which are an excellent source of experience for alternate Vocations (more on this later
Upon entering the game and watching the opening cutscene, you will find yourself in your starting race’s village. Paths between the five races will converge soon enough, so for now explore your starting village at your leisure. Let’s take this time to get familiar with some core concepts of the game.
