====== 🚀 Getting Started ======

Welcome to **Lunc Tools World**!  
This guide will help you take your first steps into the universe — from creating your account to building your own world.

===== 🎯 What You'll Need =====
Before you start, you'll need:
  * **A blockchain wallet** - Your digital identity and token storage ([[definitions:wallet|What's a wallet?]])
  * **LUNC tokens** - The entry currency for Terra Classic ([[definitions:exchange|How to get LUNC]])
  * **ELPACO tokens** - The in-game currency ([[economy:token_economy|How to get ELPACO]])
  * **Time estimate:** 30-60 minutes for first-time setup

**Already have a wallet with ELPACO?** Jump to Step 2.

**New to crypto?** Follow our [[create_wallet|Create Wallet guide]] first, then come back here.

  * After signing in, you will arrive in the **Lobby**.

===== 💡 Pro Tips for New Players =====

  * **Watch your ELPACO** - Keep some in reserve for buying items after creating your world
  * **Join the community** - Ask in chat where to find the best examples of builds
