Lander's Point
Story
For the first time in your life, you can feel the sunlight burns your eyes, and you are in awe. But the stagnant air of the wasteland is a shock to your lungs and you cough heavily. Out in the distance to the left you can make out what appears to be a camp of settlers, but to the right an open, desolate road. You wonder what awaits you in this vast new world. Do you wave to the settlers and head over, or find your own way?
Description
An optional starting location (PvP-disabled), meant for newer players. The NPC settlers here have longer, helpful dialogues to orient new players about basic things otherwise often missed. This combined with an assortment of starting jobs/quests, a new character can get some early Levels in this semi-safe location. You can leave anytime, and get an Exit Package which contains items based on quest completion. The more quests you complete here, the more items will be included in your Exit Package.
While at the camp, characters can check containers for a wide variety of random items. Check desks, bookshelves, crates, lockers, etc. Some are locked, so decent Lockpick skill is needed. Get a Tool, and you can also scavenge for resources like Junk and more. Scavenge bits of trash laying around the camp like old axles, certain trash barrels, and miscellaneous junky items on the ground.
When ready, characters can leave the camp via dialogue with Custos near the gate, and head out into the rest of the world. When characters leave, all items are removed from their inventory and left behind in the camp. What you get instead is an Exit Package, which consists of all of the items earned via the quests you completed in the settlement, which can include some tools, a few resources, and a Folded Tent.
Remember, you are working for this camp, so all of your work goes to the settlers here. Don't bother hoarding anything while at Lander's Point. All items in your inventory get left behind for the camp, and the settlers reward you with an exit Exit Package instead.
NOTE: The settlement cannot be re-entered once a character leaves.
