Adventure Frontier game FAQ
In-game tips collected from mantizzza in the Adventure Frontier community. For crates, Community Tower, and Discord help, see the Tavern FAQ.
Community tips, not official game documentation. Mechanics may change with game updates.
Professions & gear
What is the best profession for new players?
I recommend hunting and gathering for the early game. Once you have enough potions, you can swap gathering for mining. I would not recommend enchanting until you have a good amount of gear.
Items & pets
How do I get cookies, pet lures, or explorer kits?
Cookies: drop when you scare away a pet, or through trading with other players.
Pet lures: found in consumable crates, specific explore locations (for example Temple of Lost Souls), or crafted with cookies in /craftingmenu.
Explorer kits: found in consumable crates, dropped by enemies, or crafted using the hunting profession.
What does the Item Fortune pet bonus do?
It gives a chance for items to spawn after defeating an enemy. The bonus stacks, but only one item spawns per kill. Items are unique to each pet:
- Pebblepincer: Clay, Cobblestone, and Essence
- Echo Ears: Leather and Bandage
- Glitter Beetle: Bloom of Life and Four Leaf Clover
- Mossborn Sloth: all types of sigils
Combat & progression
I died and do not have any money. How do I revive?
You can sell any crafting materials you got from professions for 100 gold, which is the exact cost to revive.
Which altars should I buy?
There is no definitive answer, but a good order is:
Crit chance → Strength (attack damage) / Crit damage → Intelligence (spell damage) → Stamina (max HP) → Armor (damage reduction)
Early on, crit damage is often better than strength because its 1% increase is consistent, while other stats scale with altar level. A common swap point is around altar level 30.
Crafting
Why can I not craft runes?
This usually happens when you have more than 7 types of essence in your inventory. The recipe page will not open if you have 8 or more types. Sell or trade essence until you only have 7 types, then crafting should work again.
