i am thinking of starting this game, i realize that with most games the noob is flamed and such. but if anyone could even explain basic gameplay and give me a brief understanding that would be awesome. thanks

hi pilo,

i try to answer :).
Choose a class. its hard to have a twink i think. every class have there benefit.
as i know: archer good dmg, cleric expensiv but later are welcome in partys. venomancer cheap and maverick char low level you could easy earn money by grinding. wizard dont know much about him. blademaster havent a aggro skill, good dmg but not high dmg, barbarian agrro typ, so is great tank, hard to play cause of dmg, but in every guild and party very welcome. its only a gross overview.

Level 1-37 you get exp while questing. do every quest and you will level up.
read the quest instuctions. so you know WHERE you have to go to find the MONSTER you need to kill.
if something difficults: very good quest guide:

simplified near all bosses are party recommend.
fb19 for example means dungeon quest at lvl19 you get a ticket dont loose it. other gamer want to do this for you, the make advertising. you have tab (=ticket) you get the items drop. they get exp for doing it. more at quest guide.

game could be real money or only ingame coins expansive. so i think try to save money by:

pick up every thing and sell it: to merchants in town (low you get but you dont waste time) or sell it to auctioneer in town or make your own shop (cat shop - press E and pick the consignment icon, so you could sell to other while you afk)

most of things you need later for yourself so try to keep them and do the banker quest to ampilify your stash.

and try the auto fly mode. if you have to travel and dont want to pay for teleporter. so klick M -> press ALT and klick where do you want to fly. automaticall fly there. later you know how long you need to get there so you could go afk :).

manufactory skill - i think get 1 of them, cause you need also much money to get the skill higher. perhaps as second skill choose apothecary.

read in forum skill guides for char, to save spirit points and coins in waste skills.

that all is my opinion and i dont know really much about game and especially at high level area.
hope you understand my english.

greetings and have fun. also you could ask me if you dont know something.

thank you, i dont know if this helps or not but, i have played guildwars, hellgate, and diablo. normally i start out with the noobiest class there is lol.. judging from the classes you listed i would probably be a venomancer or blademaster. in your opinion or whoever reads this. which is the easiest char to start out with?

Its definitely closest to guildwars
i played guildwars as well
Venomancer is the easiest starting class
especially if you plan on earning money for a more expensive class later on such as the cleric
The venomancer works so well as a begining class mainly because you have a pet plus you are a caster
so you have a melee and casting damage dealing mix so you are able to solo basically every quest but the bosses
this allows you to not have to share any drops with anyone, and you get 100% of the xp and spirit (spirit is used to purchase skills)
if you plan on playing dreamweaver server i can help you out and get ya started
hope this helped you

i actually started a bow person, idk what they are really called but ill call it a ranger lol. im doing pretty good, lvl 6 and i have like 20k gold already. this game is actually kinda fun, you might be seeing me around lol

Veno is a cheap class to start with and you can make easy profit with him as you barly got repair / potion costs and you can solo twilight temple, but I find wizard better in the end.. Being able to 2-3 hit lvl 85 monsters is kinda fun, and there are nearly no mana costs with full int build as fury burst replenishes 10% of your MP which is over 1.4k in my case.. ( Might have some terms wrong here as I'm playing 2 versions at the same time ^^)

actually the veno in pwint and my version is OP. even on ms its awesome. best class to solo, best class to pvp with, vital in fb, hh, tw. easy for beginners, easy to lvl still awesome in lategame. somehow u need to like that class, i never played venomancers, so they arent my playstyle.

I still play veno and i am a loner typ in every game. so i dont mind if i dont get an invite to zhen party or other things. i also play cleric on same lvl. many people ask this char to come in guild or party or beg for buff. veno isnt much party char i think. but best money maker. no need mana, no need much equip repair.

ya i have noticed out of every like 10-20k i make 1-2k of that goes for repair on my "ranger".. idk maybe ill try venom next. it just seemed too much like a necro from d2 or gw.. and i never really enjoyed those. also, can someone like pm me your ign if you can answer a bunch of stupid questions? like the different chats, why i cant turn in my shard thingys (the things you turn into mirage something). there are tons more but so far i like the game. if i had to describe it i would say its a mix between guildwars and runescape lol
