Beginner's Bay is the farmland tutorial zone visited early in Soulbound: Online, immediately after the Arcadia mine. It is a sprawling outdoor grassland dotted with tree clusters and rocky outcrops, with a set of farming plots beside the farmer Arthur. Here new Pioneers learn Farming during Sowing Seeds and buy their first combat gear from a travelling salesman during Gold Rush, before opening the beacon into the Tutorial Dungeon.

Getting there

Beginner's Bay follows on directly from the Arcadia mine in the opening tutorial; the player is guided there by Jayden after learning to gather. Its farming plots sit next to Arthur, and a beacon at the edge of the bay leads into the Tutorial Dungeon once Gold Rush is complete.

Quests

• Sowing Seeds — Arthur teaches the full farming loop: prepare soil, plant, water, harvest, then sell to Aster and buy more seeds from Seedle.
