I am kind of new to rp games but, I understand the concept. I have played in a few role play servers. However, I am having trouble with this server. It seems really hard and I need advice. What is a good way to heal myself? What is a good way to make gold? I need help and I really like the server but, I am beginning to think it is too challenging for me.

Welcome to EfU.

The server is indeed challenging and difficult, but with some care and basic mechanical knowledge it's relatively simple to prosper.

Here is my advice:

(1) Unlike many servers or games, going out and killing randomly spawning monsters isn't a very good way to earn experience or gold. Going on quests with other people is the best way to do that. Depending on your timing it might be difficult to find other characters around your level range to go on these low level quests, but the average server level is still low and new PCs come in all the time -- so you'll find people eventually. Just remember to stay IC and take your time and you should do fine.

There are also two areas which low level PCs can kill monsters independently in a pinch.

There are also running errands, which is pretty boring but can help build up that initial gold supply.

(2) The way most people heal is using medicinal herbs. Probably the majority of PCs you see have maxed Heal so you can aways ask others to heal you with the herbs.

Take it slow, stay IC, work on developing an interesting character and everything else will fall into place. I hope you don't give up, let us know if you have any additional questions to answer.

If you are having problems in game and need some help don't be afraid to send a tell to someone with your question. Most of us are very nice out of character. Except Naga that is, who is an evil warrior gnome in reality as well as in game. Don't let him fool you with his clever denials.

What are your playtimes?

Hey mate,

Depending on your play times, I may be able to show you around, teach you the basics of RP and the like with my alternate character that I have just created. He is on level 2, which means it will be easy to do. Send me a tell in game, either to Praetorius (main char) or Arto Thensbane (alt char) and I'll be happy to help. Good to see that you are giving the server a shot rather than simply giving up, because I know I did initially! (was new to RP, found it incredibly hard etc).

See you around, and welcome to an awesome server.

Hi there,

I am from the GMT +8 side of the globe.

If your on in the evening get in touch with either Canarlus or Shauna Trevail - always happy to help someone new to get out and about.

Cheers

If you see Alturian Nighteyes or Elivia Stormcrow on send a tell and I'll try to help you out. I have an annoying part time mushroom picking, lisp speaking, Fizzy drink drinking dwarf who likes wearing bright colours that's probably your level

lbover, this is a tough server. Gotta admit that I'm pretty good at games like this (though I'm no powergamer), and it took some getting used to.

I've noticed that even as an experienced EfU player that I have hard times finding a group to quest with. But that comes and goes.

But still try, while in-character, to get to know some of the other players. If you walk into the inn nearly naked, that's always a good way to start a conversation since most people react to naked people with quite a bit of shock. Then when asked why you're naked, just start into your whole "i'm new here' speech.

Once clothed, wandering around upper and lower sanctuary and going inside every shop and door is a good way to get to know everything. Just talk to everyone, click on every sign and so on. You also get exploration experience points for entering new buildings and areas, so that can also help get you towards that crucial next level. But those exploration xp are one time things so once you visit an area you can't get the xp again, even after a server reset.

Hope that helps.

As you can see lbover, most of the player here are quite nice. Just about anyone who you send a tell to would be happy to help out in what way they can. I don't think this is much of a spoiler, since it is easily found in game...Go to the town hall and get a citizen stone. In that same room you can send messages for 15 gold that anyone with one of these stones can hear. I't's a good way to find people to do just about anything.

And as mentioned before...Naga -is- a gnome IG and IRL, so stay away. And mind that Breen guy too..he might feed you to his [spoiler].

Stick with it, it may seem tough at first, but in time it will swallow your soul..er, I mean be fun ;)

Hello and welcome! I'm a very friendly badger (when not enraged) im GMT timezone so feel free to send a tell if you need a hand with something. 8)
