What should a new Pilgrammed player do first?

Check source status, avoid fake code claims, compare beginner weapon paths, then use the planner before pushing into boss routes.

Which early weapon should I compare?

Scrap Longsword is a strong first comparison candidate because the official wiki supports its craft and Yalgaroth drop context.

No. Videos are useful route signals, but current page facts should be checked against official wiki data and visible source labels.

Use it as soon as you know or can estimate your DPS and target boss HP. It helps you avoid treating a weapon pick as ready too early.

Beginner guide

Use this first-session route to avoid fake codes, compare checked weapons, and turn early progression into a boss readiness check.

Route

This route uses safe source boundaries instead of pretending every old video tip is current.

Step 1
Check code status first
Pilgrammed has code player interest, but no verified active public codes are listed from the current source pass. Do not plan your first route around fake rewards.
Step 2
Start with checked weapon paths
Use the weapons hub to compare Scrap Longsword, Crossbow, Champion's Gladius, and other selected weapons before chasing update-watch picks.
Step 3
Use quests as direction, not a forced order
The official wiki frames quests as NPC missions with rewards. Use them to learn areas and unlock paths, but keep difficulty and route checks visible.
Step 4
Run your first boss readiness check
Enter estimated DPS, base boss HP, player count, and survivability confidence in the Build & Boss Planner before committing to a hard fight.
