yo octave you bought my first auction yay! This game is awesome, it's a shame it doesn't have a team behind it. And I would pay dollars for bag/bank space.

From what I've seen you cannot share words of power through whispers, but you might be able to in the friendslist quote or the LFG message at the bottom of the Persona window. Still needs testing

I don't remember where you find the word of power recipe, but you need crab meat, salt and water for it Tasty crabs can be found in the moat around the starter town or any body of water... Use tab targeting to find them easier Crab meat recipe is bought off innkeeper for 250g Water bottles are bought off gardener for 100g and can be refilled at well or any body of water glug posted:Instant Death - FADYUB Jackard fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Feb 27, 2015 |

In this as LatinaPrincess; and despite how janky everything about it is, the game is fairly good if seemingly intensely grindy. Any tips from people who have been playing a bit longer would be appreciated, too.

Um, don't be an animal before you know what's going on, makes everything grindier and harder Do favors (quests) for vendors to build rep before giving them gifts for rep. Rep (favor) unlocks skills/recipes/items for sale and offline hangout activities, also gives more money for selling loot Anything you interested in particularly?

Raw materials then various stages of produce, favour items and so on. One other thing that's annoying for beginners is the skill system for things like foraging in a multi user environment. You can only forage oak (or fish crabs with fishing) and the nodes can randomly contain any one of the first 3 or 4 steps of the ladder so to speak. So if you go round and sweep up the oak, chances are the respawn will not be oak and you'll gradually have less and less to collect in order to level up. I was 2 points of foraging from being able to get grapes yesterday but almost all the nodes were grapes - so drat frustrating.

I don't see too big an issue. My second highest skill is foraging. If you decide you wanna raise it while you're out hunting pigs or whatever, you can find nodes. Bind a key to 'next non combat target' or something, so you can hit that key and find grapes, flowers, etc. It eventually picks up.. and once you can hit the next tier of things, you're set. There's an area in the second zone near the bridge full of cows that has lots of cotton for high gather xp, etc. Fletching is miserable though.

Foraging can be raised to 10 in less than 30 minutes really. Buy a handsaw from Theresa near the garden, go North / North West out of town near the edge of the map and just pickup every piece of Oak wood. There is a very easy loop you can follow. Blue flowers are able to be picked up before Grapes. Today I'm going to go pick up Staff skill, hopefully. I expect to be underleveled and have problems doing the favors.

You can still sell all loot, but you'll have to do some walking to the mushroom cave and Sun Vale for certain types. (Binding your teleport circle in Sun Vale will save you 200 gold per trip, and will drop you right by the fairy NPCs and the portal to Serbule, which will drop you close to the mantis NPC/mushroom teleports/portal to Eltibule.) Anyway, I'm a pig now.  So far it's fun, got a few skill levels and now I can spawn gatherable mushrooms at will and finally equip this pig gear I found.EDIT: Also, regarding skills, with the way having some skills requires so much work in OTHER skills, I feel like the game really needs to get the drat trade interface working. It's a good system if you want to encourage an active player market, but right now we can't...really market with each other. If you want wood chips for cooking, you pretty much have to level a whole new skill yourself. mushroom_spore fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Feb 27, 2015 |

Is there a place to go to get level 20ish gear for skills? Or enemies that drop them? Everything I see for sale is in the 30-40 range but it doesn't feel like I can take on much in the way of difficult enemies because all of my gear is bottom tier.

Blue flowers are able to be picked up before Grapes. If they happen to be logs yes you'll be fine, today I had a lucky run round and got up to 15 but the 3 days prior there was very little low enough to harvest and it stays that way until someone else picks it up. Your mileage will vary. glug posted:Fletching is miserable though. Someone was saying 1500 cotton translates to about 30 skill points? There seem to be plenty of grindy things to pick from in the game. Given there are plenty of options I think I'll just avoid the worst of the grind skills for now. I was also wondering if the dev is going to hit the reset button at some point in the cycle. I don't fancy playing 100s of hours to get flushed sometime in the future.

It looks like they've said in the past they aren't planning one and don't particularly want to (though it's not impossible), but it is ALWAYS possible that individual skills will be removed or reset, or some categories of items may be wiped. https://stratics.com/community/threads/will-there-be-a-character-wipe.317920/ http://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion/57-wipe EDIT: Also found this, though I don't know where the original quote is on the site but it's consistent with the other stuff. "just read this on their page, good news for me 'There won’t be a player wipe. But there will probably be partial wipes, like resetting certain skills, wiping out some equipment, maybe even resetting everybody’s cash to a predetermined amount if the existing economy just seems unsalvageable. I’ll be as careful as I can about taking things away from people, though. If you’ve been here a while, hopefully you’ve seen that in action.'" http://www.mmorpg.com/showVideo.cfm/videoId/3727 mushroom_spore fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Feb 27, 2015 |

How do you reckon what level you are? Are you going on weapon skill? Endurance level? I looked at all the stats pages and I couldn't see a 'you are level X' anywhere. Have I missed something obvious?

Joeh, the weapon/armor elf in Serbule, has the Surveying book, along with paper and ink to make your surveys. (Animals will have to get ink and paper from other vendors, I know there's a fairy in Sun Vale.) Surveying is quite a lot of fun, especially if you're in the mood to run around the world rather than sit on your butt in front of the cooking pot or digging potatoes. Just make a big pile of surveys at once and look at each of them; there are usually clusters of gem deposits relatively close to one another on the map. Then you can go kill monsters while following your pile of treasure maps. As an added bonus, all the gems you don't care about (most are only for crafting gear) usually sell decently.

Between cooking and gardening I barely have space to loot anything so I think a more sane strategy for a while is keep raw materials only and learn skills. Once I have money I can progress a skill or two then clean up all the raw materials and intermediates to reclaim inventory space - rinse, repeat. If the guy wanted to make money he could sell inv upgrades.

Here's a good strategy: If you want archery and don't want to deal with carpentry and fletching, give me your oak and I'll make beginner arrows for you, and pretty soon the second tier ones. Holy crap fletching stinks.

I really enjoy many aspects of this game, but I cannot stand having to grind using combat skills I hate just to unlock something I enjoy. I keep trying to go back and force myself to unlock the mentalism skill, but every time i look at the combat skills I have I just get bored and quit. Unfortunately, this one aspect of the game is so huge to me I just cannot bring myself to login anymore.

I think I figured it out. The guy making this game got hurt in a hunting accident, because he is lactose intolerant. Fletching is the worst thing ever until you make cheese. First cheese you make is butter, which requires you to raise textiles to make butter muslin. You have to keep going to get cheesecloth and other stuff like that. But that's for making butter. Making cheese you need barrels to age it in.. so your first cheese, Sour Cream.. requires a muslin and a firkin. A firkin is carpentry to create, but also blacksmithing to make the hoops (or too much cash). Blacksmithing takes 25 armor patching skill before you can unlock it. So.. Pick a ton of cotton and process it to make muslin, patch your armor a few hundred times or so, survey for some metal, make hoops, forage for wood, make barrels, squeeze out some milk, and blammo! You get a firkin filled with sour cream. Now take that firkin to the NEWBIE CAVE, and place it there for ONE HOUR, and blammo! You lose your firkin, and you gain 1 portion of sour cream that goes for 20 gold vendor. That's right.. 2 oak, 2 metal, 2 milk, salt, and a 20% chance of losing your muslin.. to wait an hour and pick up your sour cream in a cave. Otherwise the game is awesome. I just hate that my great accomplishment is reach level 4 in cheesemaking and making sour cream.

I think the intent is to force you to cooperate with other tradeskill er rather than build all of those skills up yourself. It's still rough that way, but not nearly as bad if you have two other people supporting your masochism.
