Hello!
My name is Gabriel, and I've just decided to try this game out. I've searched the forums to see if anyone is handing out any newbie advice or guidelines, but it all seems to be directed towards people who have at least some idea of what they're doing. So before I just up n' decided to quit, I thought I'd reach out and ask a few questions.
First of all, I started in a city called Izlude, but none of the NPC characters that I speak to give me ANY clue as to what I'm actually supposed to be doing. Is there a main quest line I can follow?
On the forums I saw many people talk about the Eden Group, that has newbie quests. After a while of poking around I found my way there. There is a huge number of players gathered there, and I was overwhelmed, and didn't know which NPC to talk to, or if there might be people overlapping the NPCS... Anyway, I talked to all of the NPCS behing the counter and finally found one that asked if I wanted to join the Eden Group. Then I was directed to the quest boards on the right side. I picked up some quests.
Big problem: they tell me the place I'm supposed to go to complete the quests, but give me no indication of how to get there!!!!
I wandered for about an hour outside of the city, and eventually found a few of the monsters I'm supposed to hunt. I died a lot, because my equipment was just a knife, and a cotton shirt. Where can I get new and better equipment?
I asked someone what to do, and they said I should change my job. Went online, found a basic guide that said to go to an NPC in Izlude city. Thankfully, it said exactly where to go, and I am now a Swordsman, and I got a new weapon.
This all took me waaaay too long, I reckon. Am I really so terrible at finding these things on my own, or is this game just completely not newbie friendly?
What do I do next? Do I just kill monsters outside town untill I level enought to pick up more quests? How can I get more equipment? What is the best way for me to level up? How to get money?
Thanks to any who answer!
