the academy was not a mission

look for the warmaster around the area and accept the mission to defend the wall
there is a staircase with a signpost saying great northern wall follow the signs to the staging area
join others or get henchmen for free (names followed by <healer> for example click on them select join
when you have your party click enter mission and you are off

Thanks a lot loviatar. Going to do that now.

Atticus11 · Apr 29, 2005, 10:55 PM // 22:55

I found Warmaster tydus, and he doesnt have a mision to defend the wall. He has a quest to deliver somthing. Is that the wrong warmaster?

That was a pointless post.. since non of the information in there is what I asked for.

Also, I figured out he gives you the defnd the wall quest after you deliver the letter.

I agree. If you want to play a game where lvling is TOUGH try and play Lineage2. Seriously, imagine sitting there for hours staring at your characte and doing the same thing over and over....

This game is great because you do quests and missions that have substance.

Devil's Dictionary · Apr 29, 2005, 11:58 PM // 23:58

Agreed.
For some reason people mistake "game for a casual player" for "Ridiculously Easy".
If you want easy level-up, go get Progress Quest.

I had never done a mission before I made this post. I just finished the defend the wall mission and it was awsome. I was going to do the 2nd part and got en error

But, the missions seem fun and you get 1000exp at the end of em. So im going to keep on doing them.

Thanks for the help

Perishiko ReLLiK · Apr 30, 2005, 01:28 AM // 01:28

I'll answer this with this: This isnt like a game where you kill monsters and gain Great exp... do the quests / missions, and you level up Incredibly Fast! not to mention gain quite a few of those wanted skills... Missions give 1k exp right off the bat, plus the side quests that can give you an extra 1k exp... and the quests on average are about 250-500 and you can do them while your killing those monsters that give the meager exp.

Atticus11 · Apr 30, 2005, 04:24 AM // 04:24

I found a party and we are rippin thru the missions.. im alrdy lvl 9 and it rocks.

U went to Academy too soon in my view. I left Pre-Searing at level 8.. why? cause I did all the quests and talked to all the collectors, and had a butt load of gold and salvage to take with me... And I did all of the Northern Wall area... with the massive level 10 charr... When I got to Pre I was a high enough level and rich enough to get armor and go straight to missions... where the real EXP is!!! Ave exp including bonus from completing missions is around 3000 exp... 1000 for primary mission, 1000 for Bonus objective, and near 1000 in kills normally... if you actually FIGHT and dont just finish the mission in record time... Ruins of sumeria and nolani academy are excellent examples of long quest with good rewards... Lots of salvage, and gold to go around, and plenty of exp to play with...

basic rule of thumb. if you are in a area and you are getting 0exp when u kill something... its time to move on... That means u are above the level for the standard player and enemies in that area. So to advance you keep going. if you can't then u must suck. and no amount of grindage is going to help that cause u are not getting any exp for just staying in the same place doing the same thing over and over... DUMB!!!

personally I think that's a good thing. one of the main problems with other MMORPGs is that there is nothing but thieves and grinders in the games that do nothing but do the same thing over and ovcer till they are so strong nothing stands in their way. so they can act like gods and blow the others away. Even at the max level 20 a simple level 7 -12 character still has a chance against them because of the game balancing. + and -%s for one... make things more equal for fighting, no just pwnage...

Freaky_KiLLer · Apr 30, 2005, 01:22 PM // 13:22

I dont really care about leveling at the moment...(im level 8 btw) im more collecting stuff to salvage and then sell them to real players wich sometimes give 30 gold for one piece of iron...

Devil's Dictionary · Apr 30, 2005, 02:45 PM // 14:45

Hah! You got a knack for commerce, chap.
I can barely sell my material items for half of the material trader's price.

each mission is comprised of two parts, the primary mission and a bonus mission...each are worth 1k exp.

You can finish the missions and bonus missions as many times as you want but you will only get the exp bonus once for each mission/bonus mission.

(if you miss the bonus mission you can go back and finish it.)

you can tell you status on a mission from the map, if there are 2 swords through the shield then you have completed both the bonus and the primary mission..

(example) that first mission there are four pieces of armor that you can collect and give back to the guys ghost for the 1k bonus exp.

leave presear...you level faster

Devil's Dictionary · Apr 30, 2005, 03:29 PM // 15:29

Yup. Last time I played through pre-seared, I got to level 9 only to have level 3 henchmen and be killed by two level 4 players. I spoke with some people and found out I wasn't the only.

Ashleigh McMahon · Apr 30, 2005, 03:39 PM // 15:39

Deaths reply sounds right.

Your power is barely based on level, but based on skill

Hehe, no offence, Death
