Choose Your Origin Class and Get Through the First Night
Your origin class is the most important early decision in Insomnia Hardcore Modpack. It gives you special combat powers and passive bonuses, and it shapes how you fight for the rest of the run.
Picking the Right Class
1. Read every option before confirming. Each class has its own special skills and passive bonuses. Choose one that fits how you like to play, not just the one with the flashiest description.
2. Match the class to a weapon type. The pack adds weapon types such as bows, staves and daggers. If you prefer to keep distance from dangerous mobs, lean toward ranged options like bows or staves. If you like fast, close fighting, daggers suit that style.
3. Remember this is hardcore. A class with defensive or survival-focused passives can make the early game far less punishing.
Your First Night
1. Gather wood and basic tools fast. The world is built to feel like something is always watching you, and threats appear day and night.
2. Learn your skills before you need them. Try your class abilities on weak mobs nearby so you know how they behave before a real fight.
3. Build or find shelter before dark. Seal yourself in a small, well-lit space rather than wandering at night.
4. Head for a tower or town once it is light. These structures are your best source of starter gear and food. See the looting guide for what to look for.
Treat your first few days as practice with your class. Learning its strengths early is what keeps a hardcore world alive.
