Registration and Login

If you are a new player you can choose to play the game without registering an account. This option will automatically generate a guest account for you. In order to save the progress of your game however, you will still have to register your account at a later point in time. This will be triggered as a special part of the tutorial. The corresponding quest will ask you to choose a name and register your account.

If you have played the browser version before, you can use the login to access the game with your existing account. But you can also register a new account using the registration screen of the app. Once you have logged in, you need to select the world on which to play.

It is very important before logging in to ensure you select the correct server. In the top right hand corner you need to tap the small flag, this will open the below page listing all Elvenar servers, here you will need to select the server you want.

Then type in your Username and Password and press Login.

Mobile Interface

The mobile Interface in Elvenar is very intuitive and easy to use. While there are many similarities between the desktop and mobile versions, they differ on several important points.

Advanced settings

On the mobile App, you get a simplified Advanced settings menu, where you can turn the sound ON/OFF for music and game sounds and select if you want a confirmation screen before spending any premiums.

This is where you find the Logout button as well.

Visiting Neighbors

From the World Map, you can select the neighbor you want to help by tapping on his/her player name. Then you tap on the Neighborly Help icon.

When visiting neighbors, you don't get to see their cities. You get a screen where you can select which type of help you want to provide: donate to the Main Hall, motivate the Builders (when available) or polish a Cultural building (the highest value Culture building available). The City Name is visible so, if Neighborly Help instruction is included, you can decide which type to choose.

Trader

The Trader can only be accessed from the Trader building itself. It allows you to accept offers, place offers, view your offers and use the Wholesaler as normal. As yet, there is no Fellowship filter but there is a No Fee filter (not seen in the browser version).

Sell Buildings

By using the Move button and selecting a building, you can sell it as normal. Click the Sell button at the bottom of the screen to open the Sell window.

Events

Event quests can be accessed by opening the Quest tab at the left hand side and tapping the Event Quest:
