Sometimes certain comments are not necessary. And actually, it was possible to abuse novice red potions when they where not account bound.
Meat is one of the best items for healing, because of the low price and high heal amount [around the same as an Orange for a non-vit character]
They don't need to learn to live without money. They need to learn how to make it.
I made my archer yesterday. The first thing I did was checking buying shops on Prontera. Found Blood of Wolf for 30k, and then started farming some. Got only one [got 4 levels on the zone and wanted to go to Ant Hell ;o;] and made the 30k. It helped me badly. And if I wanted more, I could always return to the map and get more.
Also. 56-70 should give nothing. On valk people usually maneater all the way to 71.
Lol Asayuu, that was too fun xD
I'm a lvl 72 HP now :3/
And yeah making money is important too, but really, when you start playing, leveling is the first thing the player wants to do. Not run around and figure out what to sell and for how much. I hear you guys about earning money and I am well aware of using sweet clips, spring rabbit clips, etc., but newer players are not.
If there needs to be a cool down of about 3-5 hours to retake the novice whites quest, I can understand why. It should give about 75 whites to teach the player to use them sparingly and level on things that don't beat you to a pulp in a matter of seconds. When they use all their pots up, they have to face the cool down. After 70, they can no longer take on the quest. Eventually their pots will run out. A lot of people skip through 56-70 using maneater blossoms, which I highly doubt they will stop doing for the novice whites quest if they have enough zeny to buy maneaters.
And then new players are too spoiled with carebear novice red potions already. They need to learn how to level up under wonderful poverty. Out of potions, low health, and no money to buy more? Take a 10 minute break sitting down and your bars will be full by then.
Kill monters 10-20 levels below you to minimize damage you take, and more kills per hour spending less potions = less money.
Go to botland maps like Elder Willows and pick up leftover loot on the ground.
Or make a battle priest. No potions needed.
Spoiled? No.
Sponiac gives red pots with the quest but they are literally useless at that level. And that's pretty funny.... I'd like to see you sit down for ten minutes after every 2-7 monsters you kill. You're probably loaded with zeny and so you feel the need to come here and give everyone a speech about things you haven't practiced for a long time,
if ever.
It's like when people hypocritically complain about how nobody walks around and explores anymore, but then they teleport everywhere as well.
As for making a battle priest...
You have a point. If everyone just started out as a battle priest then everything would be just fine.
Realistically, this won't happen.
Expecting everyone to make a certain class to start off with is not ideal.
I'm fairly certain you did not start out with one yourself, as when you first begin playing you don't think of a priest as anything but a healer.
