Quick answer

A day-by-day first week plan for TBH: Task Bar Hero — slots, Priest, Alchemy, automation, first trio, and how to avoid the soft-account trap.

This is a seven-day operating plan for TBH: Task Bar Hero. It assumes you can leave the client open during work blocks. If you cannot, read Idle vs Offline first — offline-only weeks create soft accounts.

Pair with the beginner roadmap and early-game checklist.

Before Day 1

  • Install from Steam
  • Claim free Priest DLC
  • Enable Auto-retry
  • Decide your opener: Knight recommended

→ Controls & QoL

Day 1 — foundation

Goals:

  • Live client hours (not closed)
  • Open chests, equip upgrades, spend skill points every level
  • Reach Rune Tree / Cube unlocks as levels allow
  • Mentally commit: early Cube = Alchemy

Do not: deep Synthesis, Market obsession, DLC shopping.

Day 2 — Alchemy machine

Goals:

  • Lock keepers before bulk Cube actions
  • Alchemy junk into gold
  • Start dumping gold into formation slots
  • Portal farm if you hit a wall

→ Cube · Gold economy

Day 3 — second hero

Goals:

  • Own 2nd slot
  • Deploy Priest (or Ranger bridge if Priest claim lagged — fix that)
  • Stabilize clears

Team shape begins to matter: Best teams

Day 4–5 — third-slot wall

Goals:

  • Treat third slot as the week’s main quest
  • Crush-stage farm + Alchemy
  • Optional: sell one scarce spare on Market if listings work
  • Avoid combat-rune leakage

Community guides often cite a large gold spike here — verify live cost. → Rune Tree

Day 6 — AFK loop

Goals:

  • Full trio online: Knight + Sorcerer + Priest (or Hunter if already owned)
  • Automation runes progressing (auto-open)
  • Farm a stage you crush
  • Pets equipped

→ Farming · Pets

Day 7 — first real push

Goals:

  • Attempt an Act boss only if wall-break checklist is mostly green
  • If not close, return to farm without ego
  • Process bags; buy next permission (skill slot / economy)

→ Acts & progression

End-of-week audit

  • Priest claimed
  • 3 slots (or clearly close with a plan)
  • Live chest hours dominated offline hours
  • Alchemy funded runes
  • AFK stage does not wipe
  • You did not buy DLC to “fix” fundamentals

If multiple boxes fail, read Common mistakes before week two.

FAQ

What if I only play on weekends?

Compress Days 1–3 into Saturday live hours; use Sunday for the slot wall. Do not replace live hours with offline hope.

What if I already bought Hunter on Day 1?

Fine — still follow slot/Priest/Alchemy order. Hunter does not skip permissions.

What should week two focus on?

Skill slots, automation polish, crush farming, then structured pushes. Start reading Sockets only when Rare gear stops being disposable.
