When you fall alone, you have the option to '''/depart''' where you lose a bit of experience for departing. However, if you are on Puddleby Island, try to ''toggle'' a share or even unshared exile. Like with asking questions, many people enjoy rescuing people. So instead of departing right away, give people time to find you.

	After the first few weeks of exile, things should start getting familiar and you will start discussing training with other citizens. The most important thing is to have fun and decide for yourself how you would like to play and progress.

	Without a doubt, the first thing any exile should save up for is the Sunstone. In our terms, it is like a Walkie-Talkie (Hand held wireless radio) and Cell Phone. It allows you to both communicate with everyone wearing a Sunstone or Sunstone variant, and send direct messages to people whether they are wearing one or not.
