You can also just buy them from that same Dorren. Yeah, not much of a fetch quest when you can just "fetch" the good from the NPC asking for them.

...

Oh my.

It's a scam to get you to buy the terrible ice spear crystals from the shop is what it is. Also I'm removing the player list from the OP because I never updated it and it's kind've pointless anyway.

Side note: DO NOT DO G13-16! The quests give you a 2x2 piece of paper every quest, which is all well and good. Except that they're supposed to disappear, and apparently they aren't disappearing. If you rush through one of the questlines like I did, pages will surge into your inventory and they'll be there to stay. Dropping won't work and they can't be destroyed, so they'll just sit around and take up precious space. Theoretically they SHOULD be able to go into the personal inventory, but not when the personal inventory is too full of pages.

I recommend fomor scroll quests if you want to fight a lot of mobs, especially the mimic fomor scroll quest you can get from Duncan in Tir Chonaill and then complete in both Alby Dungeon and Ciar Dungeon. Otherwise if you want something safer then part-time jobs are always good, especially the Tir Chonaill Inn and Dugald Aisle Lumberjack part-time jobs as those are the easiest paying jobs.

If you want though you could do any of the Church part-time jobs and just sell stacks of holy water to players for 5,000-10,000g a stack. Otherwise there is Commerce but a fresh out-of-the-box character may or may not have a hard time with bandits depending on how high your latency is and whether or not you can avoid them. Those are just what I'd recommend as I'm sure others in this thread might have other ideas.

In addition to this tried and true advice, I would recommend Commerce. It can be tedious, especially when you first get started, but eventually yields very reasonable quick and consistent amounts of gold, while allowing you to farm levels at an absurdly high rate!

OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER

And by that I mean I've gotten metal conversion up to rank A. What does this mean for you?! SEND ALL YOUR COPPER TO ME. I will turn it into silver. That's honestly probably the main use of the skill, but if you for some reason want iron turned into copper please tell me and I will make it so. It's a 5:1 ratio, I can upgrade ore or ingots, and most notably, I can turn unknown ore fragments into iron ore or ingots. Send all your unknown ore to me. Please mention if you want it back in the message or I probably won't send it back. I cannot turn silver to gold or gold to mythril yet but I am working on it.

THE TYRANNY OF COPPER IS OVER

an addendum



(seriously though dir you're the best)

I guess I failed to mention that Kyu already has decent metal conversion skill. I can turn copper into silver and silver into gold, with a 4:1 ratio. Although I'm limited in my playtime during week, so having alternatives is always good anyway.

Holy Water is a hot commodity.  It stacks to 10, and you should be able to make 1,000 each EASY.  If you're selling for 500 each then you must have all your weapons broken and in a panic to get some cash RIGHT NOW.  If you're patient you can even make 2,000 each, depending on channel, how much you have stocked, and how long you want to leave yourself online overnight.

GLORY TO OUR ACLEHMICAL SAVIOR!

So apparently channel 4 is broken.  And by broken, I mean that the WORLD IS DEVOID OF LIFE.  Largely.

In other news, bear cubs are serious business, but with some aid from the titty fairy I took one down.  Went from 25% lvl1 to 90something% lvl2.  Ice worms, on the other hand, are the stuff of nightmares.

Also!  I finally found my heart of the cards and entered the shadow realm, for some hot elf on mannequin action.  I lost.  Apparently I ran out of arrows, and while punching wood sounds like an amusing metaphor, it really wasn't getting me very far as I was getting knocked on my ass every time I tried. 

I think I'm going to give this game one more try before giving up >_>

Bears will kill very experienced players.  Really at your level (exactly 2) you should be doing the basic dungeons or crafting to level up.  Doing part time jobs for holy water, selling for 10k per 10, and then going for crafting tools (splitting axe, sieve, potion kit, etc.) and you can gain some decent experience from crafting.  This only really works up to level ~10, or in massive bulk later levels (like 50 crafting attempts).

Really, there's a LOT of things you can do.  Any you've managed to pick all the wrong ones :P  Finishing G1 is actually designed for low-levels, giving very decent rewards.

I think the "shadow realm" you entered is the way the game has the instanced tutorials work... it's Tin's combat classes right? You shouldn't have any problems passing them if you do exactly what he says at each part.

At least, I cannot think of any other "shadow realm" any new player would enter. It's not even really the Shadow Realm (it has a red sky), but the game's instances are on the same server as the Shadow Realm I think.

And yes, bears are serious business. They are, after all, bears.

Holy water is really that valuable? Damn, I had a few stacks of 10 sat around in my bank and I threw one of them out because I needed space. That sucks.

Also Nao is forever onwards the "titty fairy".

Fun fact: I ignored the tutorial for a long time.  Now if I want to do it, it's on Hard Mode due to scaling with level, and it's solo.  I can't beat it.

Not sure I'm missing anything though...
