Floor One
Welcome to The Starting Area Player!
This is the first floor of ID Quest. As such, it is the most crowded and safe amongst all the layers of IDQ. People also refer to the floor as a tutorial area. It is where you get your starting gear from helpful admins. The admins also teach the new players about the basic mechanics of the game, significant areas and locations, and where to start farming XP. Unlike most floors, floor one has two admins. Just in case multiple people need their help at one time.
There is a training room to test weapons and skills on the first floor and a mini cooking potion brewing section. In addition, there is a market where you can buy simple items or sell unwanted loot. You can also find the quest board in this area. Last but not least, there's the library, where you can look up and learn new skills.
Another name people associate with this floor is tutorial hell. Floor one earned this name because people often don't like grouping up with other players, ignoring vital pieces of information, or just getting unlucky, which leads to their deaths and getting stuck on floor one. Although some people have a relatively easy time getting off floor one, it has become a case-by-case situation.
Demographics
The most you find on floor one are either new players just starting their adventurers or those left on this layer and could not progress. However, it is not uncommon to see a high-level player come down to the first floor to grind XP materials, scam, or help new players. Besides that, you would mostly see NPCs running the shops.
Defences
There are no natural defenses on the first floor. At best, you will see NPCs guarding their homes if someone is causing too much trouble. At worse, the admins would get involved and deal out divine punishment to those who cause too much trouble.
Points of interest
There are two main points of interest on this floor. The first one is leaving and exploring the other layers above. And then we have the first mini-boss players will encounter—the troll boar. Without getting into too much detail, the troll boar offers a somewhat challenging boss fight and unique drops that you can not get anywhere else.
Geography
The first floor has two distinct areas. The first area is the safe zone where players can safely go on about their business without being bothered by mobs. And the second area is the forest, where boars and wolves roam the area. Because it is a game world, they infinitely spawn without any issue. Where the boars are, there are trees all over the place. In contrast with the wolves, there's clearing an entire field of the creatures. The developer made the area like this to stop the whole player base from cheesing the wolves in the area.
Natural Resources
Because this is a starting floor, there or few resources people can obtain here. Therefore, it is encouraged to become level five and leave for the second floor. However, that does not mean there is nothing here. For example, boars give meat, tusks, and their hide that can help jump-start someone's crafting career. The same goes for the wolves in the area ahead of them. The next notable thing is the mana grass that is collected from the ground, which is a main ingredient in potion creation.
