First Launch

Connecting via Lich (Recommended)

Most players use Lich for scripting. Start Lich first, then:

vellum-fe --port 8000 --character YourCharacter

• --port - Lich’s listening port (default: 8000)
• --character - Your character name (used for per-character layouts)

Direct Connection

Connect without Lich using eAccess authentication:

vellum-fe --direct \
  --account YOUR_ACCOUNT \
  --password YOUR_PASSWORD \
  --character YourCharacter \
  --game prime

Games: prime, platinum, fallen, test

Note: Direct mode requires OpenSSL on Windows. See Installation.

The Interface

On successful connection, you’ll see the default layout:
