This guide is written to help new players understand the core systems, progression flow, and early-game decisions that matter most. It focuses on preventing common mistakes, reducing early grind, and explaining mechanics clearly so you don’t brick your character or waste time.
This guide assumes little to no prior knowledge and is safe to follow on both Default and Easy difficulty.
Some things may be outdated or wrong as the game changes often so please tag me in the Discord or comment if you have input.

New Player Q&A (Most Important)
Q: How many pets can Beast Tamers bring?
A: 2 pets before Human Immortal, 3 pets after Human Immortal.
Q: When does Sword Cultivator get AoE skills?
A: After Nascent Soul, you can learn Ten Thousand Swords Art, throwing 20 flying swords at once.
Q: My early-game gear is too weak. How do I get good equipment?
A: In the beginner phase, farm the Pig Demon King.
Pig Demon King farming method
- After killing Pig Demon King:
- 1) Log out to the character selection screen
- 2) Re-enter the game
- 3) Within 30–80 seconds, Pig Demon King respawns
- This can be done at very low levels.
Why farm Pig Demon King?
- Purple gear
- Gold gear
- Level-scaling equipment (no level requirement)
- Pet Eggs
- Normal Treasure Chests (open for Spirit Stones)
How to use the drops
- Pet Eggs → farm pets and increase pet star levels
- Purple gear → auto-recycle to obtain Aptitude Pills
- Gold gear → material to increase star levels of same-tier gold gear
Power note
- After upgrading equipment to 99 stars, you can level and almost no monsters before Immortal will defeat you.
- (This is much easier in Easy mode — Default mode takes way way longer.)
Advanced Q&A
Q: Can star levels be inherited to another piece of equipment with the same name and same quality?
A: Yes. If the name and quality are identical, star levels can be directly inherited.
Example
- Dragon Scale Battle Armor (Divine) — 80 stars
- Dragon Scale Battle Armor (Divine) — 0 stars
- → Stars can be transferred directly
Q: What is the highest quality obtainable when capturing wild pets?
A: Immortal quality.
Q: How many resources are required to upgrade a pet to Divine quality?
A: According to feedback from other players in the demo version:
- Supreme quality: feed 1,000 Enlightenment Tea Leaves
- Immortal quality: feed 5,000 Enlightenment Golden Lotuses
- After that, the pet becomes Divine quality
Q: What stats do Divine-quality pets provide?
- Damage Reduction: 90%
- Resistance: 90
- HP Regeneration: 3,000 / second
- Mana Regeneration: 2,000 / second
- Attack Speed: 12
All Divine pets share the same stat bonuses.
Q: Do tank pets have AoE (group attack) skills?
A: Yes, two of them and you can get them by putting equipment on your pet that increases max SP and clicking the refresh button to change the skills until you get them. This works for all pets.
Q: Where is the save file located?
A: AppData\LocalLow\DMGame\CultivationMagicWorld\uc
Q: Where is the Bat King located?
A: There is a portal on the road past the Silvermoon Wolf.
Q: How do I get to the Red Dragon?
A: Open the map and look for Floating Island. There is a glowing light point there — walk into it to be transported to the Red Dragon area.
