Visit the Inn in any town to pick up contracts. This is your primary source of steady income.
Wartales is a tactical open-world RPG where you lead a group of mercenaries. Success depends on balancing your party's survival needs with tactical combat.
Choose Adaptive if you want enemies to scale with your level for a constant challenge, or Region-locked if you prefer traditional RPG progression where certain areas are "too high level" until you grow stronger.
Ensure at least one character has the First Aid skill early on. It is the only way to save a companion who has dropped to 0 HP before they die permanently. Progression
Your mercenaries need to eat and get paid every few days. Starting with a Cook and Angler helps you catch and prepare food, significantly lowering costs.
