Cheers mate, from what I'm reading, the Scrooge McDuck package gets 3 guest passes. 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.

Kalstrams, what classes are unaffected or least affected by lag? I was on the EU server during the beta but I'll come over to the US one so I can be with goons, so I guess I'll get about 150ms too like Stormgale

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.

How do you get ponies and a house. Also how do I build a boat. What's the path to this? 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 :words:

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.

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.

How does one get slaves

From some quests or talk to the workplace supervisor for 5 energy to view 1 and money to buy (pickaxe Icon on the map), you need lodgings for them (a building type) and a few npcs you can recruit with the talking minigame

Drythe posted:

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?

In velia press M, click on the town youll want the row of houses buy the inn. 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

Look at the top of the screen and do what it tells you to do. Sometimes its "Get x amount of favor" or "Fail Interest X amount of time". Things like that. To save energy, dont collect the amity points, just continue, you can run it about 4 times before it ends.

Be careful on risky ones, if you don't cash out your amity and fail the next goal you get 0

Random thought: I was thinking of for personal use making a node tool to work out the best way of getting a specific set of nodes (say you want to connect 3 cities and get this farm) would that be interesting to anyone? Maybe even one for city buildings too.

we raised it from 200k-600k before the market crashed and brought it back down to 450k, due to lack of people that could afford it.

You simply get a gently caress ton of them set them for max price, buy out all the low priced ones, and put them back on for a higher price, runs a min-max system and you can artificially inflate the max quite easily, though with the 30% tax, it means you need to have a large capital to start out with and take an early loss to make a long term gain, OR have a way to simply farm weapon stones like candy like we did.

So what does this have to do with the post you quoted?

They stick to a lovely trade route cause it was in a guide. Same with the leveling guide.

For trading it's pretty god because the farms have trading so you have a lot of chances of geting 200% in demand items, it's a little more costly but why i'm routing through heidel and glish to Keplan

I'm playing on the EU server and focusing on everything but the main point of the game. I was curious if anyone has found a guide talking about trading, particularly, crafting trade goods to sell to NPCs. I've found a lot of guides talking about this but they mostly mention it without discussing which craftable items sell to where, etc. Is it mainly buying from one trade manager and selling to another, or is it viable to collect from nodes, craft and sell to NPCs. If it is, does anyone have a list of items, or a link to a guide to go over it at all?

It's any to any based on the node you crafted to the node you go to.

Is the game pretty much all tutorial till you hit the first actual city? (Calpheon?)

I'm having fun, and it's hitting my "play more" buttons, which MMO's don't normally do (including WoW), so my 7 day trial is likely to convert.

Define "Tutorial" to you

Your family shares a maximum energy cap, but each character has their own energy pool.

So you make alts to increase the amount of energy available to you. They regen slower than your active character, but it's still more energy to use than if you only had one character worth of energy.

They regen only when your main is capped I believe

Valk Awakening Lance video. Probably the awakening that changes the class the least so far? It seems to be focused around charges, just counters, shield pushes and an ability that groups mobs in an area for a big gently caress off jump attack. It also has a small teaser for Bladers Halberd and Plums Spear.

Seems kinda like the greatsword, turning the classes strengths into wide AOE, could be good for group combat

Stormgale
Feb 27, 2010

Cao Ni Ma posted:

GS seems to have a lot less mobility than lance but usually in group combat wider arcs are more useful than thrusts. And unless the lance has built in guard on most of its attacks, the GS would have the benefit of life leaching too. If lance has a lot of extra CC then I could see it being pretty useful, the sort of forward reach from its rushes could absolutely poo poo over rangers if they can lock them down.

Sorry I meant like how the GS gives warrior cleaving, this seems to give a lot of AOE CC etc but we will see, I thought it looked neatish

Oh that makes more sense but what do you mean by account wide name

All your characters have the family name (may not be cross server, can't remember) .

If you join a guild you do it as a family but almost all ingame commands (friend, whisper, invite to party) go off of Character name IIRC
