🛬 First Landing in Los Santos

Welcome to Zenith RP — where stories come to life! After character creation, you’ll arrive at Los Santos International Airport (LSIA). This guide walks you through your first critical steps, from completing the new unified starter experience to landing your first job.

Let’s get you started the right way. 🚀

🗺️ Step 1: Complete the New Starter Experience (Quest + Rent)​

Your journey begins with a revamped starter experience that combines onboarding, essential gear collection, and your first rental — all in one smooth flow.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:​

  1. Talk to Arjan
    Immediately after spawning at LSIA, locate Arjan (marked with an orange blip on your minimap). He’ll welcome you and begin your orientation.

  2. Visit Shops & Claim Welcome Gifts
    Head to the nearby shops (orange marker). Collect your starter items:

    • Backpack
    • Phone
    • SIM Card

    💡 No purchase needed — these are free welcome gifts.

  3. Return to Arjan
    Speak with him again to receive your first cash payout (20,000 SP).

  4. Find Joey
    Head to Joey (new orange marker). He will provide you with rental funds to get your first vehicle.

  5. Rent Your First Bike
    Behind Joey, enter the blue activation circle and rent your Faggio moped — your first ride!

  6. Get Your ID at Government Building
    Travel to the Government Building and speak with Elijah:

    • Interact with the blue circle to receive your Character ID.
    • Return to Elijah and confirm completion.

✅ Completing this full loop unlocks core systems, gives you mobility, and officially starts your journey in Los Santos.

💡 Note: Your phone and SIM card are provided during the shop visit — use them immediately for calls, apps, and services.

💳 Step 2: Open a Bank Account & Get Your Card​

Now that you're equipped and mobile, visit any bank in the city to open your account.

Steps:​

  1. Approach the bank terminal or speak to a banker NPC
  2. Select "Open Account"

    • Debit Card – Standard spending limit
    • Gold Card – Higher daily limit, VIP perk
    • Diamond Card – Highest limit (unlocked by wealth/status)
  4. Set a 4-digit PIN
  5. Confirm — your card is issued instantly!

🎉 You now have a bank account and debit card for transactions, payments, and savings.

🔁 Lost Your Card?​

If you lose your card:

  • Visit any bank
  • Request "Card Reissue"
  • Pay a small lost card fee
  • Get a new card with same account access

🔐 Always protect your PIN and account details in roleplay!

🚗 Step 3: Get Your Driver’s License at the DMV​

Want to drive cars or ride motorcycles? You’ll need to visit the DMV (Driving License Bureau).

Steps:​

  1. Open Map → Locate Driving School
  2. Attend the written test (5 questions)
  3. Pass the driving exam (follow path within speed limits)
  4. Pay the license fee
  5. Unlock vehicle rentals beyond mopeds!
