9 Ultimate Bloodlines Beginner Guide, Tips & Tricks!

Starting out in Bloodlines can feel overwhelming with all the missions, jutsu, weapons, and progression paths. This guide covers everything you need as a beginner to get started efficiently, level up fast, and unlock powerful tools to dominate early gameplay.

1. Joining a Village and Starting Missions

The first step is to join a village. Locate a village sensei in one of the buildings on the map and interact with them to join that village. If you don’t like your current village, travel to another map and find a different sensei. Once you join, you’ll gain access to mission boards, which are essential for earning Ryo, the in-game currency, and for leveling up your abilities.

2. Farming Ryo Efficiently

As a beginner, there are three primary ways to farm Ryo:

1. Mission Boards – Complete delivery or combat missions. After cooldowns, repeat the missions to accumulate more Ryo.
2. Farming Fruits – Gather fruits around the map and sell them to merchants for extra Ryo.
3. Boss Drops – Higher risk, but bosses drop rare materials and Ryo.

3. Weapon Selection and Crafting

Early in the game, you can use any weapon type: sword, kunai, spear, or fists. Later, you’ll need to choose a main weapon to craft exclusive items like great swords or Kunai. Unlocking schematics requires collecting combat scrolls, which are rewards from specific quests.

4. Unlocking Chakra Points

Chakra points are crucial for unlocking skills and fast travel. Always activate nearby chakra points as you explore. Use them to unlock skill trees, including jutsu, parkour moves, and weapon upgrades.

5. Bonus Quests and Combat Scrolls

While exploring, look for logs and hidden NPCs. Destroying logs can spawn NPCs, who drop items like the Green Mold. Completing related quests will reward you with combat scrolls, which are essential for progressing your skills and unlocking advanced abilities.

6. Learning and Upgrading Jutsu

To unlock jutsu:

1. Visit any chakra point.
2. Access the skills menu and select the desired element path.
3. Use chakra fragments (from events, corrupted points, or bosses) and gems to unlock elemental jutsu.

For example, collecting a flame gem allows you to unlock the fireball jutsu. Charging chakra is done by pressing C, and casting jutsu uses the left mouse button.

7. Unlocking Weapon Artifacts and Armor

• Weapon Artifacts – Unlock paths for your main weapon at chakra points. Use combat scrolls to craft exclusive weapons.
• Armor Upgrades – Trade redsmith molds, farmed from bosses like Barbarian, with NPCs to upgrade armor for better stats.
• Binding Weapons – Prevent losing weapons on death by visiting a trainer and using chakra fragments to bind them.

8. Ranking Up

Rank up by completing missions and passing exams with your sensei:

1. Take your first exam to become a Genin.
2. Kill specific NPCs as required.
3. Return to your sensei to get promoted. Repeat mission board quests to continue ranking up.

9. Clan Progression

Some clans have progression systems. Find your clan trainer in the open world and complete clan-specific missions to unlock special skills and benefits.

This beginner’s guide covers the essentials for starting your journey in Bloodlines: joining a village, farming Ryo, unlocking jutsu, leveling up, crafting weapons, and progressing through ranks. Following these steps will give you a strong foundation for advancing efficiently in the game. With practice and exploration, you’ll master your jutsu, craft powerful weapons, and climb the ranks faster. Keep an eye out for bonus quests and hidden items to maximize your growth.
