This guide for Everquest Next Landmark is a comprehensive compendium, which includes information on both the key and the less important game mechanics. It has been drawn up basing on the beta version of the game and, with the final version being released, it will be enriched by appropriate updates. In the text, you will find basic information on the system requirements or controls, as well as thoroughly prepared descriptions of the game's mechanics and valuable hints, which the beginner players will, undoubtedly find useful. Landmark is a web-based sandbox game, which was prepared as a side-game of the Sony Online Entertainment studios, which is currently working on an extensive EverQuest Next MMORPG. The quintessence of Landmark is exploration and creation of the vast world, by erecting various structures and buildings, whose construction is limited only by the available materials and the player's imagination. Character creation, in the hero creator and choosing of the appropriate tools, are the first steps towards the cognition of the incredible universe created by the developers of the Landmark. Let's build!

In this chapter, you can take a close look at the game's interface. Each of the elements of the interface has been marked with a symbol and described in a comprehensible way, so that no beginner player has problems starting the game, without any problems.
I am not gonna die anyways so, who cares...
The quintessence of Landmark is collecting various resources, crafting valuable items, using those resources and erecting creative buildings and structures. At first glance, this description could, just as well, be used to introduce Minecraft, but there are certain differences between these two games. What is worth paying attention? In landmark, there are no threats to your character. What us even more, you virtually cannot die. In the world that you explore, there are no hostile (nor even neutral) creatures, whatsoever. Even jumps from heights go. If you piece all of these bits of knowledge together, it turns out that Landmark is a sort of a multiplayer building site, where there is nothing to stop you from exploring the world presented in the game.
You really need very little to create a hideous character.
Landmark offers a very scanty character creator, where you can only change the standard elements in the looks of the character. And so, you can determine the sex and the name of your character, as well as use sliders to adjust such elements as skin color, face shape or the length of facial hair. What is absent from the creator is the character archetypes, class abilities or even points to distribute, among the basic statistics (strength, agility, intelligence). After you are done determining your character's beauty, you need to choose the server, on which you want to start the game. What is worth pointing out, on a single account, you can have only one character, at a time but, it can log on to all the available worlds and lead separate lives there.
And this is the center of the contemporary civilization. Beautiful, isn't it?
More or less, in the middle of each map, there is a structure that is called Portal Spire, which performs the function of a civilization center, for each server. As much as the building itself does not offer anything in particular, what is immensely important for each player are the six integral elements, which you can interact with. What is meant here are Stone Forge, Tinkerer's Workshop, Alchemy Station, Outfitter's Table, Inbox and the Founder's Pack which have been described below. What is important, no player can, inside the structure, or within the radius of a dozen-or-so steps of it, destroy, build or mine.
In the hot stove, you can smelt lots of really useful items.
Stone Forge is one of the items that allows your character to craft, to create new items. As the name suggests, for that, you need various metals that you can smelt into valuable ingots or forge them into tools. It also is a place, where you can upgrade your utility tools, i.e. axes, pickaxes, sickles, Pulverizers (the Upgrade Item tab). They are performed with the use of the ancient relics (the category named Disassembled relics has been presented in this chapter), which boost the statistics of items (damage, speed of using and range), as well as their general quality (superior, exceptional and legendary).
1. Pickaxes
In this category, there are five types of pickaxes - Copper, Iron, Tungsten, Cobalt and Mithril.

Inbox is nothing more than the regular mailbox, where you can read various messages sent to you, as well as send letters.
Founder's Pack is a special program, prepared by the game's developers that allows you to play a preview version of the game. It consists of three paid sets, which differ in contents and, which goes without saying, price. Each player gains access to the beta version, as well as to the digital extras for their characters. it is thanks to the adorned box in the Portal Spire players that obtained the Founder's Pack, may receive the items that they are entitled to and gifts. As of now, the Packs have been sold until the last day of March.
The world is wide open for you.
After you have created your character, in the creation menu, and have select the server, you appear in the game world and gain control over your character. The land that you can explore, from now on, is very vast and diverse. It consists of two characteristic biomes. The system is that the way in which the game world looks, is generated for your character, and it is the same on each server. It can, e.g. be a desert and jungle, or tundra and deciduous forest. Of course, what I mean here is the general area type, rather than the placement of all the elements of the environment, in an identical way. At first, you are right next to the Portal Spire, mentioned in the previous chapter, which performs the function of the crafting center (crafting of new items). At present, you do not have any resources, which you could use in any way that would make any sense. That is why, the first thing that you need to do is obtain them. Two tools are going to be useful here and they are in your quick inventory, i.e. the stone pickaxe and the stone axe. As the names suggest, the former is used for mining for various deposits of minerals, whereas the latter is used for chopping down trees, which then can be collected for wood. What is important, you can use these tools only to obtain the predetermined resources of low value, whose obtaining will allow you to craft better tools and, in the long run, obtain more valuable materials. However, this is going to be described further in this guide.
No work, no pay.First of all, you need to set out to find some deposits of Copper, thanks to which you will receive a common crafting material. Copper is quite common here so, finding the deposits should not be too difficult. They come in light-brown and, after you hit them, they drop Copper Ore, but sometimes, also Elemental Copper. You are going to need both of these materials, in small quantities, but it does not hurt to make some provisions, for later.
All that glitters is not gold.The next material that you need to obtain is Agate (comes in yellow) and it is quite uncommon, under the beds of Copper, or usually, next to it. You simply need to take a look around the area. It drops a single material of the same name- Agate.
And we go choppipty, chop, chop!Once you have already performed the job with the pickaxe and obtain all of the materials mentioned above, it is time to use the axe. To obtain the wood that you need, you will have to fid any tree (a big one, preferably) and chop it down completely. It is going to drop Wood Log of all sorts (the type depends on the species of the tree) and the thing that you are the most interested in, i.e. Heartwood. Just like previously, take the rule " the more, the better" to your heart.
Feel like the real smith.Then, return to the Portal Spire and craft the improved version of the pickaxe, i.e. the Copper Pick. To do that, access the Basic Forge in the Metal tab and smelt Copper Ore into Copper Ingot. You need 8 copper ingots. After you do that, you are the lucky owner of all the materials that you need to craft the Copper Pick. Before you continue your exploration, it is a good idea to obtain the Keen-Eye Band from the Accessory tab, at the Basic Workshop. It raises your chances at digging out some more valuable materials. To use its magical properties, you simply need to put it on, in the inventory screen.
Digging becomes really burdensome, sometimes.During your second expedition, you will try to find deposits of some more valuable materials, i.e. Iron and Tin. To obtain them, you need to use your shiny, new pick. Iron deposits are grey and, honestly speaking, they are hard to discern among rocks and stones. After you hit them, that usually drop the Iron Ore and the Elemental Iron. Both of these are very much needed by you. As for tin, it can usually be fond under the deposits of iron so, to get to it and collect Tin Ore, and Elemental Tin, you first need to remove the deposits of Iron.
In Landmark resources come in all colors of the rainbow.The purpose of the last expedition around is to find two more basic materials, thanks to which you will be able to craft, additionally, five more basic items, within the initial phase of the game. What I mean here is the Aquamarine and the Tourmaline. The first one of them is bright-blue in color, and it occurs, in most cases, alone (you can also find it, sometimes, near Iron deposits). It drops a single item of the same name- Aquamarine.
I felt a twinge in my shoulder.The second one - Tourmaline - consists of two shades, i.e. pink and green. Just like in the case of Aquamarine, or Agate, after being struck, it drops only one item- Tourmaline. It comes by itself or under deposits of tin (or marble, which you are not interested in, as of now). After you obtain it, you already have got everything that you need and you can return to the crafting center.
Now, this is going to be a blade!Now, to craft an upgraded version of the axe, i.e. Tin Axe you need to smelt Tin Ore into Tin Ingot. You only need 4 ingots, to craft a tin axe. If, at this points, you have sufficient amounts of the other supplies, you can craft this item straight away. If you do not, you will have to mine for more.
Trinkets and baubles, always fashionable.To improve the parameters of your character and the speed of mining for resources, it is a good idea to obtain the three remaining items of magical properties. Ring of Brawn ensures faster splitting of deposits, Scout's Emblem increased speed and Anklet of Bounding jumping into greater heights. In theory, you have all the materials to craft them all but, in reality, you will have to smelt Iron Ore into Iron Ingot. 20 ingots, to be precise, will do.
This is it. There is nothing else left to do. In the first phase of the game, that is.Finally, the last thing left to do is to build the item that allows your informal transition into phase two, i.e. your own four walls. The colorful flag, named Claim Flag is used to determine and delimit your own plot. This however, is described in detail in the next chapter. To craft it, however, you are going to need Elemental Iron, Aquamarine and Heartwood only. It is as simple as that.
Collect them all.
This sub-chapter presents a comprehensive table of all the materials that you can mine with the pickaxe, in the world of Landmark. It consists of three different parts - the name, a short description that mentions where it can be obtained, as well as a picture that presents the material. They have been grouped, with respect to their type (first metals, then rocks and finally gems) and put in order, with respect to their value (from left to right and schematically, the successive lines to the very bottom of the list).

IT is time to decide where you build your new home.
The issue that you need to take as a priority, while creating your own four walls, is finding the appropriate bit of land, where you can start the construction. To establish your plot of land of a predetermined shape (square), in a given spot, you need to use the item named Claim Flag, which you can craft by following the instructions provided in the previous chapter. Once you have done that, you will see a big area around your character, shown from top-down perspective. It is divided into irregular red bits, i.e. ones that you cannot use to build your headquarters on, for some reason. Also, there are the regular ones, which have not been marked in any particular way. It is within those fragments that you can delimit your plot of land. The best solution is to choose a flat piece of land, without any natural formations, i.e. mountains, elevations, forests or chasms - smaller or bigger ones. As much as trees can be chopped down, and the holes patched up, when it comes a huge mountain range, you may have some problems.
Take it easy. This system seems to be complicated, only at first glance.Once you have already made your choice and pressed the mouse button, you will receive a message, where you need to confirm your choice. A very important matter that needs to be paid attention to is the UpKeep, which is the cost of maintaining your property. What is meant in this case are the regular payments for the possibility of owning a strip of land. Fortunately enough, the game developers do not require you to buy a subscription, i.e. spend the real money, on that. The currency here is simply- Copper Ore. 24 hours of upkeeping your estate costs 300 Copper Ore. This is not much, because copper may be considered the most common material in Landmark. You effect the payments in the Claim Management tab, where you can also find detailed options to set up your house. There, you can change the name of your plot of land, the welcoming message, but also the safety rules, which determines the activity of the other players, within your estate. What the five levels are about is whether the other players may build structures on your land, destroy the area and enter your land at all. When it comes to the UpKeep, again, it should be explained in more detail, how the payment system works. There is a certain UpKeep Management sub-section, where you can deposit certain amounts of copper. At certain points, these assets are withdrawn from your account automatically so, a good idea is to deposit large amounts of that material, up front. As little as 2100 Copper Ore allows your estate to exist for a week. What happens, however, if out of external reasons, or simply absentmindedness, you fail to effect the payments in time? Well, then you have a problem because the plot will, irreversibly, cease to exist. Fortunately, the same is not true for the resources that you used up around your estate. All of them, along with the flag, you receive back into your inventory. At the same time, you receive the record of all the elements, which you build on your plot of land, into the Templates tab. Thanks to this option, you can recreate the identical arrangement of your estate, in a completely different area, as long as you have all the materials that you need for that, in your inventory.
The materials, the shape and let's get busy.
Just as it has already been stated, the quintessence of the game is creation, but also destruction. Both of these, extremely pleasurable, activities can be performed with only two elements. The first one is the Building screen, which you can find on the left side of your screen. It consists of two tabs, i.e. materials and shapes. The former allows you to select the material (you can see and select, if you have it in your inventory, in any quantity) that you are going to use to build what you want to build. The other one determines its shape.
1. Material
Metal
Wood
Stone
Liquid
2. Shapes
The other element are Add Tool, Delete Tool and Heal Tool (the tool to restore the land to its previous condition), which have been mentioned at the very beginning, in the building tools table. These three are classified as the basic for each builder, without which you cannot do, in any way. The remaining four, i.e. Selection Tool, Smooth Tool, Paint Tool and Line Tool, can be considered some extra additions for the more advanced players.
The Add Tool is the orange square with a white cross on it, which it is better to keep in quick inventory, for the sake of convenience, in one of the first slots for hotkeys. After you have activated this tool, you need to bring up the building screen, on the left side of the screen, inoto both of the tabs - both the materials and the shapes. Of course, you first need to select the material and then the shape, into which it is to be formed. Then, determine the spatial situation of the object. For this, you are going to use a complex creator, which consists of the the option to situate the figure in a selected spot (even in the air, if you want to), to rotate it in any way you want and increasing it, and decreasing in size. All of the shapes, with the exception of the sphere and the cube, have three options and, the ones that have been mentioned above, are devoid of the possibility to be rotated. To activate that panel, you need to hold down Shift + Tab, and press the action key to situate that element in the spot of your choice.
The delete tool is not that troublesome. In the case of using this tool (the blue square with the white minus symbol on it) you do not need to select the individual material and only the shape and/or its spatial situation, the size and so forth so, just like in the case of building. Once everything is ready, you can click, on a specific area, the action key, thanks to which the object of the desired shape will cease to exist. In general, the Delete Tool is more useful in the preliminary destruction of the land, rather than for restoring it to the previous condition, for which the tool, presented below, is better.
In general, there are two sides to The Heal Tool (the green plaster). although it is very easy to use it, you can only use it in specific situations and, in addition to that, with patience and care. It does not allow you to select any shape and it is only limited to a tiny square. For that reason, it is good to restore only small strips of land, to their initial condition, or introduce cosmetic changes to the effect of use of the delete tool, which is definitely better, while removing large structures.
The Selection Tool (the transparent square) allows you to delineate any fragment in your strip of land and confirm it, in order to perform specific actions - whether creative ot destructive ones.
The Smooth Tool is the violet marker, which serves for leveling the area, simply put, especially the sharp edges.
Paint Tool is the blue brush that works just like the pipette, i.e. it copies a give color, or shape, and replicates it onto a given surface.
Line Tool (the blue line) is for determining, and creating strips of any shape and of any material.
Everything needs to be in order, when it comes to money.
In Landmark the developers have prepared a micropayments shop for the players, whose exact name is Showcase. It consists of two options, i.e. buying for special currency and the photo gallery, where the players can showcase their estates and like each other's (much like I Like It on Facebook) and visit them. On sale, there are plenty of items from four categories.
1. Money pouches
In this tab, you can find the money pouches that increase the number of slots in the quick inventory and of your chest, in which you can keep various valuables.
2. Sources of light
Here, you can find glowing orbs of various colors, which can illuminate your estate.
3. Resources
This category consists of sets of resources - both the common and the rare ones This allows the players to take the easy way and obtain the crafting resources immediately.
4. Outfits
The last group concerns various outfits, thanks to which you can easily stand out from the crowd of the everyday players.
5. Household appliances
The last page includes all sorts of additions for the personal houses and headquarters of players, e.g. furniture, adronments or household defense systems.
As of now, the prices for the special currency of Landmark are as follows:
500 SC = 5 dollars
1000 SC = 10 dollars
2000 SC = 20 dollars
2500 SC = 25 dollars
5000 SC = 45 dollars
10000 SC = 85 dollars
As of now, Landmark can only be played on PC computers, which is why the below information concerns that platform only. In general, the system requirements can be considered high, but not too high. What is important is that you require a good internet connection, to play it smoothly, because Landmark relies on multiplayer, participated by huge numbers of players, at any given time. This guide has been drawn up on a computer with Intel DualCore i5-660, 4GB RAM, ATi Radeon HD 5850 and a 60Mb/s internet connection. Although this specification lags behind, in comparison with the one specified in the "Recommended system requirements" but it is enough to enjoy Landmark without any problems.
Single player: No
Offline Co-op (split screen/hot seat): No
Co-op over the Internet: No
Multiplayer: Yes
This guide has been drawn up for the PC version, of the below specifications:
On the computer of the above specifications, the game ran without major problems. The only thing that you could complain about were the rare frame rate drops and occasional cases of freezing. The reason for this, may be the fact that the game is still in its beta version and it has not yet been fully optimized.
