I just downloaded the game and I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick run-down of the basics.
This would include, a decent character class to start with. Items for that character. Who I should see about starting quests (assuming there is a quest based system established).
Any other basics you think I should know.

Thanks a lot guys, and girls.

Very much looking forward to getting to know a few of you.

There is double exp during Fridays and the weekends at times 1-3pm, and 9-11pm(eastern time), those are the times I usually play the game only if I do. When I started out, I didn't bother doing a lot of quests, because I didn't want the trouble, a lot of quests are useless, I only did the ones that gave me useful items, you can check what quests gives what on the main site. And when you get to higher levels, the training would become really hard, tedious and boring...a few hours to level once(currently at 71 now).

Hey man whats up, First off once you login you'll be on sort of like a "plat form" and you'll see a guy with a light over his head you can get your first quest there.

If you push the "M" button all the NPC's are on the map you can cursor over them to view their name/ who they are.

As for a character theres a lot of possibilities but to be honest if i were you i would make either a Bagi, Dagger Hunter or Azure Knight. I have a summoner and their badass but unless you know a lot of people you have troubles getting into parties because up to about lvl 85 summoners currently are the best duelers in the game and their known to pk ALOT so about 90% of the game hates them hence you'll have troubles finding random parties/not getting pk'd at really low lvls.

As for the 3 that I advised they all get AOE's very early (lvl 15) which means once you get level ~40ish and 55 and 65 you can EASILY find parties in Norak lvl 2/Castor lvl 2, Crespo and Draco respectivly.

As for a quick break down:
Bagis: Lotsa hp couple nice AOE's, TONS of buffs, arguably the best pvp chars in the game (definatly one of the top 2)
Azure Knight: I belive they recieve like 4 or 5 AOE's, lotsa hp's as well, very easy to find AOE parties because you've got so many.
Dagger Hunter: 1 really nice AOE, makes for fast level once you hit level 15


And finally my little "breakdown" is the order in which i would advise you to chose a character, BUT i am in no way trying to make up your mind for you. Those are just my opinions and in the end it purely comes down to personal preferance. Notice i didn't mention mages (best char in the game 100+), Segnales (badass 59+), because their harder classes to play and I would chose one of the above mentioned classes to start out with and than later make one of the others if you prefer.


That's just a small breakdown when you start to play if you decide to play on Abaddon I could definatly help you out some with stuff if you needed, but at any rate if you need anymore help don't be afraid to drop me a PM.
