Greetings everyone,
1. To start with I would like to ask what are the main differences between the many versions/servers that now exist? What would be best for a newbie? I did start a char on each but at least on start Chaos char felt more easy going. Classic and Re:Start felt like having less mobs on the map next to izlude and it slowed my leveling but since a start, well, is a start I dont know which version is best suited in the long run to someone new. In other words I seem to like chaos most but will listen to any advice if you think another version/server is best for new player.
2. Getting a bit confused on how I should spend my points, especially attributes. For example I got a swordman around lvl 16 on chaos, but should I spend the points in a way that swordman levels faster or in a way towards a build I chose to follow for endgame? Are there going to be free attribute resets on later job promotions?
3. I joined a clan(is it an npc guild?), I initially didnt even know how to talk, found its /cl after searching the net around and didnt even see what I typed till I figured the client has pre-disabled. However even if the Clan said 11 members none would respond at multiple efforts on different days. Likewise saying hello in general chat or even to people who seem leveling in the map next to izlude had no result. Same goes by talking in Prontera. Makes me wonder if everyone is afk most of the time or what. Also are there guilds that do take newbies? Generally I believe the social part is important on a mmo
4. I got a quest from the tutorial academy that I finished but simply stays in my log. Its the one you talk to dispensary therapist. What to do with it? For a fact I had done the quest and went through all academy npcs and quests
5. I found and started some bounties I found in Prontera. Not sure if a good way to level and get cash. Should I stick with it or you suggest anything else for swordman? Also enrolled to be able to enter thief bug dungeon but most times I went near its entrance I was 1shot by something looking like a zombie. Why would such a probably high level mob guard a low level dungeon entry?
6. Regarding shopping, I noticed of course the very many player shops in Prontera, but is there an auction house too? I had been buying gears from npc and refining them a bit as refining tutorial shown me in Izlude. Is it a good option or a waste of cash?
Also any further advice on things not listed/asked would be welcome. If you wonder I am generally a PVE player(though I PVP on games occasionally) that likes playing tank chars mainly(and sometimes healer). I am thinking to go for RG tank eventually. Yes I understand it may be hard for a new player but I dont mind leveling slower.
Thanks in advance
