## What Is the Novice Grounds?

The **Novice Grounds** is the starting area for all new players in the game. It’s like a training camp where you learn how to play! You’ll meet seven friendly instructors (special characters called NPCs) who teach you the basics of the game, like how to use items, skills, stats, and other cool stuff you need to know.

### Your First Mission: Meet the Instructors

Your job is to talk to all seven instructors in the Novice Grounds. Each one will explain something important about the game:

### 👉 **Note: Check In with the Junior Training Officer**

When you’ve talked to all seven instructors, head to the **Junior Training Officer** at the location **new\_1-1 (144, 107)**. This officer will check if you’ve met everyone:

* If you missed any instructors, they’ll tell you who you still need to talk to.
* If you’ve talked to all seven, the officer will give you a big thumbs-up and let you move on!
