200k gold and 800k exp to gain back my pitiful safe exp (7.5M) later, my reinc is finally done. Bought Viking Axe, and kicked Rolf's ass to get the mithril axe.. Getting diamond o-yoroi as starting armor, and gonna build up from that. Gonna concentrate on exp for change, money comes along I quess. Good weapons make such a difference to combat efficiency that I didn't thought about, but luckily I was offered the Viking Axe, and I've been happy with it so far. Want to "go for" my own EQ later, buying isn't so much fun :-)
ReInced back to "tank". Chose Minotaur this time, but went back for rangers. There seems to be lot of barbarians in the game, so that was the obvious second choice, but like said went for Ranger's. At this time, there is so many Tarmas in the game, that I just didn't have the patience for it.. At least five resseres were at everyone who happened to die, and I didn't like to spam people that much.. had fun for a while, but there was little use for lvl35 healer.. So we'll see if I'll go back that road someday. Decided not to ReInc as Merchant just yet, but money making is the key now. Got pretty bored exploring the places for exp, and not to be able to attack most of the creatures, but that's a life of a newbie I quess. Newbie Mines seems to be ok source of money for player of my level, but I'll go look for something else too.
Close to 5.5M now. Playing tarma when the game is slow can be really dull sometimes. Just competing for that one ress every ten minutes with 5-10 other ressers.. and the same goes for summons, if you quick you can get them, but if not, your just get frustrated. Tarma at level 35 is not good enough for most parties, but I've lucky enough to been accepted to some higher level parties as well. I don't care about the exp that much, more about the experience I personally get from observing how the older players play the game and deal with the party. Also bumped into couple not-so-great-party-leaders, who didn't care about the party just themselves. I think if you're leading the party, you have to make sure everyone's safe.. and you can't make sure of that if your dead, can you? Being overconfident, not informing the rest of party what's your plan, etc. Well anyway, the story continues.. I just really need to find a way to make money..
Some exp today from exploring and couple parties. Went over 4M, and raised skills and spells. Next exp is goind to level raises, and to new spells after that.
You clap hands and whisper 'koko mudi kuntoon, hep' You feel like you healed 270 players. ^ That's my record so far. And yes, I reinced as Tarm. First reinced, trained/studied, then forcereinced the very next morning, and trained again :) Decent healer now, Level maxes on the important skills and spells = CSW at 100, CCW at 85, as well as Master of Med (22). But looking for couple of levels to raise the skills and spells (and get some new ones) .And party of course when the opportunity knocks. Best Kill so far: A HUGE 50-foot Purple Worm... RUN!, 222335 (party of 6)
Over 3M now, continued exploring (25%). Can't recommend that enough for any new player (actually met one player who had 8M with less than 3d old character ==> gotta love it :) Decided to leave the quests alone for a while, seems that most require help from higher level char, which is pretty lame (Jarear's - 26lvl - was nice, classic puzzles, but still excellent! - Pays you nice pile of mithril too). Gonna concentrate on reinc. Propably gonna go for Tarm, although plans after that are set to Merchant..
Got the Secladin Quest done! (Took almost three hours, and a little bit of help - Thanks for that Toth & Oztak) Hitting the lvl 26 quest next (Jarear's assignments) at Newbie Taskmaster. Let's see how that goes, and after that it's the Joseph's I've waited. (If you need help with Secladin, feel free to ask)
Tales of a Bat Continent Went over 2M today, so might as well start keeping this blog Still looking for partners to to hit Secladin Village (lvl quest 25) But, got to be happy for the (mostly) explore exp today - Experience gained: 1129208
