Beastmasters begin forging their bond with the wild in either Faelindral or Night Harbor, learning to fight alongside a companion rather than alone.
Faelindral: Bonding with the Wild
New Beastmasters starting in Faelindral train under Captain Relgen Greenblade, who directs recruits to Aerin Mossfang to begin the process of taming and bonding with their first companion. See the full breakdown on the Beastmaster Starter Quest (Faelindral) page.
Night Harbor: The Guild’s Apprentices
Beastmasters starting in Night Harbor instead train within the local guild, working toward a Beast Initiate’s Cord and later a Beast Adept’s Tunic as they progress (the exact quest-giver here is still being confirmed by the community). Full details on the Beastmaster Starter Quest (Night Harbor) page.
Tips for New Beastmasters
Both starter chains are solo-friendly and low risk, so there’s no wrong choice between zones early on — pick whichever starting city matches the character concept or race you’re playing. Either path sets you up with your first companion before you’re ready to head into the wider world of Eth-Ur.
