So as someone who thinks this sounds pretty cool but is only really interested in either alchemist or necromancer what would be the best way to go about unlocking one of those classes quickly while staying ftp?

You should be able to get to necromancer in a week if plan out how to use your sparks before hand. You might not be able to do much with it when you get it, but you should be able to unlock it. The problem for you is that alchemist is in the opposite direction on the atlas. Necro is to the 'south' of the starting cluster, and alchemist is behind and to the 'north', past the kinetic.

Dammit Russia. More servers are good but I just wanted to play your bad game on my morning off. D:

I just started and I've been working my way through the Paladin atlas. I'm assuming once I complete that (or reach a certain point) the rest of the atlas opens up and I can work toward other classes?

Correct. There should be a node that states you can start earning class specific sparks, and at that point you unlock the higher level atlas.

While playing as a light binder, is it more effective to auto attack the enemy, or should I be buffing allies with it?

In a dungeon, you're better off using it on players because with a talent it makes your light energy recharge faster, so you can use your Flood of Light to buff a party member then quickly bring your light energy up again to cast shields/buffs. In 3-man missions I don't go support spec unless we're having trouble because the 2 other group members are squishy.

I guess I'll have to read more on how they each play before rushing one. Is there a particular starting class I'll need to choose? I'm not very interested in any of them yet but usually like tanking so the paladin would probably be my most likely choice.

you get all three, it doesn't matter

if you're quick about it you could probably get necro in 12 or so hours played, seeing as how I saw a guy get slayer with 10 hours played. but that would involve spamming dungeons and not really doing the quests or open zones if that's important to you

Just like your posting.
You can switch between your unlocked classes at any time but I suggest trying them all but sticking to one since it will make leveling easier and give you more fun skills to play later on. Honestly the starter classes are all perfectly fine so pick whichever.

You can unlock Necromancer, Kinetic, Archer, or Slayer within your first spark cap, so in about 8-12 hours, if you plan your spark acquisition accordingly. Alchemist will take 3 weekly caps to unlock (so between 2-3 weeks). All 3 starter classes are equal in their starting paths in the upper atlas.

I saw a recommendation in a video guide to complete one of the starter classes to max so I could be more effective, and then move onto another class. Is this terrible advice? I started with paladin and started moving towards Kinetic soon as I unlocked the main atlas. Was this a bad move?

How could it be? They use different resources.

E: The benefit of completing a class (getting all abilities and talents) is a special symbol and two symbol slots. Paladin's is good. Symbol s being the global talents things.
It's not like you can lose progress so just progress as you like.

i don't think anyone but the russians could tell you if all the formulas are spot on, and even then I'm not sure if they could round it right

Take yokaii's guide as a grain of salt. stacking your ring slot for secondary stat bonuses actually increases your prestige more than just upgrading your weapon for might, so the "dps benefit" isn't really as potent. getting ether core slots off the bat is dumb because the argent cost for upgrading all three of them as soon as possible will quickly outpace however much money you will be willing to pump into this game. and focusing on staying as low prestige as possible is the quickest way to quit the game because it's your 50th port loving naori run and you aren't unlocking anything else.

the only way you can really stack strength over might is by focusing on those nodes on the atlas, which usually isn't an option if you're going for another class or passive ability (which you should). The atlas rarely give you more than one or two possible routes to take to your destination, and even then, you'll likely wind up getting spirit and valor alongside strength (since they're all blue nodes), which are much more class specific than flat might (spirit is a support-preferred stat and does piddly poo poo for a number of dps classes. valor usually sucks in general).

blue nodes also don't give you proficiency, which is required to equip better gear. if you avoid red/green nodes you will quickly be unable to equip gear equal to the content you do, much like the effect from stacking temples

tldr: seriously just right click a node in the atlas and follow it. don't number crunch your poo poo in this game unless you get a really big boner doing it. you can't gently caress yourself over in the long run

You can unlock everything in this game which means eventually you will end up with all the poo poo. Gear will always be subject to what actually drops for you and as long as you keep some health in there and avoid valor you'll be golden.

They will eventually port over the 'catch-up' mechanic from russia probably. (weekly quest to increase your cap by 10% or something)

Just get one of those free keys floating around. Other than that it just helps you hit the cap faster.

Buying the 3$ pack of argents is a decent deal, since there is a "first time you buy" deal you get at any price point. Premium itself basically just lets you hit cap faster, which is better if you don't play much.

Fair enough then guys, cheers. It was the "receive sparks of evolution" thing that threw me off as it sounded important. :v:

I'll just chuck a couple quid at the game for a mount then. Not splitting my time between multiple games like I used to, so hitting the cap won't be a huge issue I imagine.

That raffle aspect probably technically makes it illegal in a lot of places.
