Getting Started Playing Core Exiles

This will be an in depth guide on everything you need to do to get started playing core-exiles. Everything from creating your account, setting up your browser, configuring your screen reader, starting your first NPC missions, and what to do next.

Important Note

This will deal with actually getting started and playing the game, it is very strongly suggested you first head over to the screen reader section and read or listen to the individual sections on the different page layouts and page navigation. This will just be dealing with actual game play and progressing through the first parts of the game. This will not be focused on teaching you what everything is, there is a section for that already.
