LegalPad posted:It's not like a traditional MMO where most of your activities are regulated by your character level. You can almost immediately start building a boat to do deep water fishing, catching horses for breeding, planting crops, whatever.

And what's the purpose in leveling, pvp? There's no PVE in this game, correct? If leveling is best by grinding, why are there so many quests? There's like 50 options on the main menu and the UI is hella cluttered, what's important? What do the icons over NPC heads mean? Why do the dialogue minigame? That's only a few that come to mind of not being clear through the in game descriptions. I'm sure some goon can make a post or guide over what's important and some of the basic things you can do and not make it 60 pages of  Maybe some pictures, as those are easier for our simple minds. I do want to know how to get a pony and house though, and how to outfit the house.

Pooned posted:I bought the travellers pack but it says "head start access only possible with pre-order package". Is there delay in the launch or do my pack not considered "pre-order" because I bought it so late? I bought it two days ago. Even though the game isn't technically out, buying the game now doesn't amount to having a pre-order. I honestly dont understand why they didn't allow people to buy the game and immediately get into the early access other than Korea or some database issues. Both are equally probable.

So, regarding PVP. Castle Sieges and territory battles will be enabled a few weeks post-launch? Are siege weapons and things like that player-crafted? Are there any non-combat roles in sieges like maintaining food supply or things like that?

I don't think I actually got you on Steam so if you could PM me over one that'd be grand. I'll run around with you in game and we can get spacerich/searich again from playing the market. I get my passes at launch so ill send you on then, and honestly im playing a super fast paced class (sorceress) and it's going fine on my 150. A lot of moneymaking is solo as there isnt much in the way of trading, i'll happily help you out/take you on fishing trips tho.

To get pony: Level your animal training to 5, talk to the stable master at velia and get a rope, go find horse. Boat: Get a boat workshop (velia has one) get materials, have workers craft boat. Levelling: Quests are for contribution XP, how you get nodes and get into the crafting system. if you just wanna fight guys and pvp and live like a murderhobo you can ignore all non black spirit quest. Dialogue Minigame: Some NPCs will give you things for higher reputation, unique stocks (like one vendor has endgame weapons for you if he likes you) more information (to get energy and for the minigame) or quests. I can go into more detail if anyone wants, Post here, PM me or get me on mumble when i'm on, i'll do my best to help friends.

There's no PVE in this game, correct? ^^God dammit Stormgale. You can tame horses once you have Lvl 5 training. You rank that up by riding the donkey you get from the quest chain. Your slaves build boats at shipyards. They range from poo poo raft to yacht. You can also upgrade them with better parts to improve speed turning etc. There isn't really any large scale PvE currently. Some of the large scale PvP is coming in updates as well. Quests are to increase your energy (let's you take more actions) and contribution (let's you own more real estate). Dialogue mini game unlocks more items quests, energy, contribution, etc.

Ok. How do I get lodgings? and Which npcs do I need to recruit? If I'm at the start of the game, what do I need to do in order to get slaves? And to confirm I talk to the supervisor for 5 energy and then buy a slave from him? But I need a house to put them in?

Don't worry about recruiting specific Npcs yet Reach Velia Talking to the supervisor to look at 1 person is 5 energy, if you like them you pay money to buy the slave. If you want to look at someone else that is another 5 energy

quote:How do you get a pony..... If you continue following the quests into and around Velia, you will eventually get a donkey as a reward. Alternatively you can buy a donkey or a very low quality horse from a stable master. To tame a real horse yourself, you first need to achieve training level 5. You get training EXP every time you level up a mount, and this happens naturally as you ride it around but does take some time. So as soon as you get 15k silver, I would recommend simply buying the beginners horse from the stable master and using that until you get training 5. As for taming a horse yourself, you need to buy several capturing rope from a stable, and make lumps of sugar. Lumps of sugar can be made by clicking the [produce] button in your inventory, then [heating], then put in 1 mineral water and 10 raw sugar. Both of these ingredients can be bought from inn keepers among other NPC's. Then you need to find a wild horse, play the roping minigame, play the approaching/wrestling minigame, give it a sugar, wait at least 10 seconds, and then attempt to mount it with 'R'. This is an okay tool to find some of the horse locations http://www.blackdeserttome.com/map/ and they appear to be on a 1-2 hour timer. quote:......and a house. Open up your map, click on a big town icon, and look through the housing options. Blue houses are available to you, and other houses in a series will become blue when you rent the prerequisite house. For example you must first rent 1-1 to rent 1-2. The information listed when you click a house (residence, lodging, storage, etc...) are your options for what you can can do with that house. Renting houses costs Contribution Points and silver. You can always sell the house back and get your CP refunded, but you lose the silver. Fortunately the silver cost is insignificant, so go hog wild. quote:...what's the purpose in leveling, pvp? There's no PVE in this game, correct? Leveling your character will unlocks more combat quests, allow you to fight stronger mobs with better loot, and give you more freedom to explore and gather out in the wild without having to wear special costumes. There's PVE, but not much as far as traditional end-game content. So while there's plenty of mobs to kill and loot to hoard, there's no 5-man style dungeons. PVP is a big reason too. quote:If leveling is best by grinding, why are there so many quests? quote:UI is scarey. quote:Conversation mini game.

Protip: Don't ever actually exit the game. If you minimize it, and click Confirm on the dialogue box that comes up, it enters a minimal resource state without disconnecting you. This way, you still get time accrued bonuses for login rewards, you can keep fishing or doing whatever other AFK activity you're working on (fishing is awesome for this especially with higher tier poles where you can fish all day while you work), and your workers will still go about doing their tasks. I fished all night in a city, woke up with another few hundred thousand silver in fish in my inventory, and all the jobs I set to run overnight are done for me to process later today. Can't turn my nose up at that.

Re: Amity mini-game I've only had limited exposure to it so far, but is there a concrete guide on it somewhere? At work and most options are either not indepth at all or blocked. My experimentation has resulted in "put the highest percentage interest first, then try to connect to high amity rewards" but I feel thats incorrect.
