# Getting Started

## Selecting a Kit

So, you just spawned into the Warring lands. You have a 1 hour immunity from PVP and start out with a Kit Token and two Ability tokens. These 3 magical artifacts will transform into a kit and weapons(containing the abilities you choose) respectively. If you are curious as to what kit you should choose, take a look at the [Classes](https://docs.disboardia.tet.moe/disboardia-factions/classes) section of this help book to help inform your decision. **Choose Wisely, you can only transform each token once!**

## Joining a Faction

In these warring lands, it is imperative that you surround yourself with allies. You can do so by starting a **Faction**. Factions are groups of people that claim land and can raid others. There are 2 ways to join a faction:<br>

### Creating a Faction

To get started, find an unclaimed piece of land and do **/f create \<New Faction Name>**. This will create a new faction and spawn a **Nexus** at where you are standing. Now you can invite other players into your faction.

### Joining a Faction.

If you have a friend that is willing to take you into their faction, they could either use the GUI or run the command **/f invite YourName** which will send you a faction invite. To accept their invite, run the command **/f accept TheirFactionName** and Voila! You have just joined your first faction.

## Claiming Land

Claiming land is also a vital part of being a faction and protecting valuables. To claim land, you can either use the faction menu(**/f**) or do **/f claim** to claim the chunk you are standing on.

## Ether

Ether is a vital commodity for your faction. It is essentially the magical energy that protects your faction's claims. You can get ether from the Ether seller at spawn.
