How to Unlock Races

To unlock a new race, you must head to the Wizard Tower to speak with the Wizard NPC. All players start as Human, and you must roll for a new race, which you can only do by interacting with the Wizard.

From spawn, walk towards the cave, and then turn left. Keep following the path to find the Wizard Tower!
