The first hour in Aquais

A new colonist lands in Aquais with a purse, a kit and starter patents, in a game with an AMM market, patents, hunger, taint and full loot. Without guidance most testers will not find the loop.

• A short guided start: the harbour master explains the colony; first errands that teach each step (chop or mine outside the walls, sell at the exchange, eat, buy a patent, craft a tool, walk to the nearest town along the guarded highway).
• Hints in context (first death, first grey flag, first full backpack, hunger), a help window, a "how to play the alpha" page on the site.
• Errands pay in items or patents, not coin (the mint stays the only faucet), or are crown contracts if economy-balance decides so.

Done when a tester who never played UO completes one sale, one craft and one trip to another town in their first hour without asking in Discord.
