Grats Gange you seemed to have got the hang of things quickly.
See you in Pyr :)

[shrike]

Hehe.. I am currently in the zorai starting zone - and apprently quite alone, at least noone is answering me in the region chat.

Game arrived around 3 hours ago, speedy amazon.de delivery.

[oeilsud]

i will try to let a few mobs left for you guys ;)

Hi Gange,

good to see you on here, glad that you are enjoying the game, I will be in game again later so maybe we can hunt a bit more on the island :)

Guys, lemme give you some advice.

Don't leave the newbie zones until you get at least level 30 in either magic or fighting. It is extremely slow leveling on the mainland if you have a character still in their 20s and with poor (store bought) equipment.

I'd also advise you to concentrate on harvesting and crafting a bit. Just to get an idea of what you're doing.

Again, hold off leaving to the mainland till the last possible moment. It will make the transition much easier and more rewarding.

Zeke.

Depends - if you can craft your own equipment you'll have no problems at all. Doesn't matter exp/time wise for me at lvl 22 to kill a roaming mektoub (mainland) or a weeny kipee (newbie zone).

Also, foragers will lvl faster on the mainland. The cities there have random raw material sources, too, but unlike in the newbie zone you are not limited to q20.

Suckling yubos, mektoubs are present in big amounts on the mainland, too.

[oeilsud]

indeed i left newbie zone too early at level 20


iam in Pyr alone, naked and broke, and having a hard time with the death penalty....

also xp is going much slower now

hopefully i just reached acid damage 3, combined with fear it s not working too bad but staying in the island a little more would probably have been better.

Oeilsud, I will also say that right now, mages tend to be less powerful than fighters, and the damage you receive as a mage has been doubled in order to make it as hard as possible for you, especially when solo. It's no impossible, but it's tough, especially if you don't have a magic staff equivalent to your level. Magic staves really increase the damage you do and the reduce the amount of time it takes for you to cast spells.

Also: You may want to work on your fighter skills, and then upgrade your magic later. You should also be grouping as much as possible (if you can), so you can take advantage of the defensive line of spells and heal people. People may not be very group oriented at early levels, but they will be screaming for healers at later levels so you may want to consider this.

Zeke

Note: I understand that blind erases aggro but never had the chance to try it in beta. If it does work like that, then you should consider getting it in order to make your use of fear a little more useful and powerful.

[shrike]

Well, it's tough if you don't have the right equipment, but if you have it it's not so difficult to solo as mage.

More difficult than fighters, yes, but not as much that it becomes unwise to solo as mage. With a q40 staff with elemental boni (Yubo or Capryni eyes as focus) it's quite easy to solo lvl 80 mobs with a damage - fear -damage - damage- fear -.... combo (spell range should be at least 40 meters, I usually use something between 40-43).

The main danger is (apart from pulling multipels) that the fear is failing. To counter this make a fear enchantment on your staff. Use the non-enchantment fear as regular spell (unless you don't mind to refill the staff after every 2-3 mobs) and use the staff only when a normal fear gets resisted.
The advantage of the enchantment is that it will cast the spell in 1 second and that it will cancel your current action. So, even if you are already casting the next cold or acid when you the the fear getting resisted the staff will still cast it 1 sec later. Of cource, THAT one could be resisted, too, but you can usually take the 1-2 hits until you have your 3rd try.

Not that one doesn't dies now and then, but with that combo I was lvling fairly fast during lvl 40-70 (at least as fast as warriors).
