If you are new to Haven & Hearth, it is recommended that you read the Quick How-To, followed by the unofficial manual.

Leveling Up

In Haven and Hearth, you don't so much 'level up' via XP so much as you earn Learning Points (LPs) and spend them on skills.

Earning LP

A few good ways of accumulating LPs early on are:

  • gather branches from a tree and ctrl+click on them in your inventory to drop them as you collect them. As of July 15, 2009, you can only gain LP from branches until your character has accumulated a total of 1000 LPs.
  • build a lot of fires and light them
  • partially construct a dream catcher (add and build all the wood but no dream) and destroy
  • crafting stone axes
  • crafting tea pots (need pottery skill). This is best done in an area that you do not have to dig for clay (i.e. near a clay pit).
  • harvesting fields of other players (need farming skill). If this is done, seeds should be replanted.

A few BAD ways of accumulating LPs early on are:

These bad ways will quickly cause a horrible mess, or drain all the good resources out of the new player area, and typically won't get you LPs any faster than the more socially acceptable ways.

Personally I thoroughly recommend picking up the fishing skill as your first skill and catching as many fish as you can. You'll get LP and you can trade the fish with more established players for all sorts of things like backpacks, coins, weapons, and leather armor. You can also eat the fish if you are in dire need of food near the beginning.

Using LP

The little button of a face down the bottom center of your screen will open up your character sheet. You can see how many LPs you currently have here. The middle tab on the character sheet (button of a book) will open up your skill list. There is a description panel, a list of available skills, and a list of posessed skills.

You won't be able to buy any of the skills until you've accumulated enough LP's. They will appear in red until you have enough LPs. If you want a skill that isn't in your available skills list, consult the tree on the skills page to figure out which skills you need to earn first.

Increasing Stats

Your statistics (STR, AGI, etc.) are increased by eating various foods. Each food provides a number of Food Event Points (FEPs) towards various stats, detailed in the table below. To increase a stat, you must accumulate a number of FEPs equal to your highest stat (ignoring modifiers). By placing the cursor over the bar below the statistics on the character sheet, you can see a tooltip showing how many FEPs you currently have and how many you need. The stat that is increased is probabilistically determined by how many FEPs you have towards each stat. For example, if you only eat bear salami, then upon accumulating enough FEPs to increase a stat, you will have a 57.14% chance of strength increasing by one, and a 42.86% chance of charisma increasing by one. After a stat is increased, your current FEPs are reset to zero, so any overflow is lost (though it still affects the determination of which stat increases before the current FEPs are reset).

Personal Beliefs

Taken directly from jorb in the forums:

Your character's personal beliefs reflect how he or she feels about the important issues in the Hearthlands. The first aspect of the belief system (the only one yet implemented) are your Attitudes.

Attitudes are dualisms that are represented on a scale with eleven different settings ranging from +5 through 0 to -5. Each dualism has a set of effects associated with it.
