My advice: Get exploration uncapped quickly by doing the special quests.  We have players who can solo rafting with crash shot or thunder, and rack in HUGE exploration exp in one swoop, and don't mind letting a noob leech.

exploration? what does that give

[alexwazer]

Exploration level works more or less the same than normal levels. They are calculated independently however, allowing you to get more AP each rebirth. The max level is 100 and exploration 30, though both are rather time consuming to reach.

If you haven,t done so already, I recommend you join the guild Fjallheim. The stone that allows you to send an application is in Cobh/Cohb (forgot). There are often people around and most would be glad to help whenever you want with pretty much whatever you need help with.

For leveling, commerce would probably be your best bet, assuming you can hook up with some other guildies to handle the baddies (Ibid loves them baddies ) It's a bit slow early on, but once you get wagon, it speeds up considerably. It's also a good way to make money, so that's two birds with one stone.


Edit: Oh! On a unrelated note, I've experience the joy of cloning ingots last saturday. Starting with 12 arat crystals and HW and a bit of metal conversion, I turned 1 iron ingot into 2 full stacks, 1 stack of copper and about 30 silver. Mabi laughs at the laws of physics. So, I plan to work a bit more on Kyu's synth skill (78% success rate cloning silver on saturday, could be better) and get back into commerce a bit to buy arat here and there. All this and more after I get at least r3 weaving on Don. "More" including going back to Blacksmithing too.

Also, our last attempt in Peaca went relatively well. There's been a few deaths, plenty of role confusion, a bit of Oops and ensuing Fun, but overall it was a good run. It must be repeated in the future.

[Skyrunner]

I thought the max level was 200. O_o

[majikero]

It is 200 but nobody bothers with getting past 100. Well not that I know anyone. I might hit 100 on potions alone.

[krisslanza]

Getting past 100, or even 50, isn't very practical generally.

Depends on if you buy rebirths or not though really. 90 is the highest I've heard a friend go, personally.

[alexwazer]

For some reasons I always thought 100 was the max. Oh well, we learn new things everyday.

It's relatively easy at higher skill to reach 100 within 3 weeks (while still playing less than 10 hours a day ) or 60-70 in a week with paid rebirth. With excessive grinding, I could see hitting 100+ in a week, but I hope you either don't like Fun and really really have fun grinding Exp.

[SirAaronIII]

On a somewhat related note, exploration cap quests reportedly aren't needed anymore. So just feel free to hook onto our rafts and get tons of exploration exp.

I hit 72-ish playing casually last RB.  Those shadow mission dailies on hardest difficulty give ENORMOUS exp!

[Seriyu]

Everything everyone has said is sound advice! Particularly majikero's advice of "get smash and windmill to rank 1". That's something I would reccomend for... litterally every character, because sometimes you miss an arrow, sometimes chain cylinder doesn't go off as well as you'd like, sometimes an unexpected passive defense gets you, and you need to get physical or get dead.

Also yeah, making it up to 70 - 80 is super easy now. I got 30 levels just doing some handicraft.

[Girlinhat]

Also, GET MANA SHIELD AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE AND UPGRADE IT AT LEAST ONE LEVEL EVERY REBIRTH!

[majikero]

I give out advice I never follow. I was a pure mage till the puppets update. Unless you're a masochist stubborn ass like me, follow my useful advice.

[krisslanza]

BAH MAGIC. Estus uses her FISTS and nothing else!
Okay and pouches of gold because I need a way to deal with counter sometimes.

[majikero]

Throwing a rock at counter gets the same effect.

[intense]

So... many... things... to... consider...
Ok, i have a free card and ... when should i rebirth the first time (note that i get the option after one real day passed or something).
I'm seriously thinking about starting over although i don't think i messed the char up, it might help me understand the game better hehe. And possibly i might of messed up my char by skipping on rebirths.
character sum up:
I started playing 3 days ago, age 17, i`m still 17, and level 31. I am not excluding commerce, commerce was nice but it got to a point where mobs spawned right next to me, i couldn't kill them all and lost almost everything (have around 2000 ducats).
The arat stone required for flame burst i traded for 4k money, best deal i ever made.
Cheers
