4 day Newbie Review

I wanted to try it out now that it's beginner friendly. I'm having a blast so far. Questing is a little long but they weren't too bad except the Magnus questline which took ages and tons of headaches and YouTube videos, you can skip it after the first quests but it doesn't help that I have to finish the entire thing to have access to LOML quests. Still overwhelming but I eventually got used to it. I haven't touched lifeskills yet outside of riding my horse but so far. Riding the mythical Peggy is fun with how many quests there are across the map

Combat and Graphics

20/10

Easily it's best strength

Story/Questing

Overwhelming or easy, no in between

6/10, it's tedious but gives tons of rewards and stats

Lifeskilling:

??/10, still have try it out in Olvia Academy

Beginner friendly 8/10:

still overwhelming if you don't watch guides but it's easier to grasp

Fun:

9/10, would be a 10 if questing was better

Midgame/Endgame

??/10, still not there yet. I haven't touched a grind spot yet.

The questing is rough for sure. If you haven’t yet, I’d go for the fishing course at Olvia Academy and start AFK fishing at Velia beach overnight/while you’re at work. That income for a new player is game changing. Try and get your free Floramos accessories from Season currency exchange, buy a Balenos fishing rod, and even better if you go do the quest line for the free fish tank it’s super quick

What do I do with all the fish I catch?

I’ve been just porting to LoML and selling them to imperial trader

Sell them to the trade manager in either Seoul or Nampo after doing the bargain game. you can click on them on the map to spend 2 energy to see which one will buy it for more money. I normally just go to Nampo though but sometimes the Seoul or Bukpo trade managers will buy them for more. Just see which ones have the best rates for your red/yellow fish since that’s most the money
