Forgive my ignorance, as I'm also new here and to the game(this is my first post to this forum). The "guides" section you are referring to.....is that the FAQ at ryzom.com, or something else? Thanks!

Re: <-- NOOB with questions
Ok I will try to answer these as I can. FIRST, you found the forum, BIG plus. Check out all the player made guides, they will help you ALOT. And then you will already be WAY ahead of the "average noob".
Taunt is great for mellee pulling, just found it myself. Target mob, click taunt and back away to pull, OR you could use a spell and damage it to pull, but on mainland the mobs "friends" MIGHT take offense and rally to his defense. Range weapons are pricey, but...they are GOOD for one or two shots to pull.
OK crafting and foraging are NOT affected by Qnumber of pick/tool. BUT your adventure skill are almost ALL Q number of weapon, as well as stats of weapon/amp. So far, NO form to make tools is known of. And yes the buy it at Q10 put in bag POOF Q1 is a known bug, and on the fixing list.
To get crafting/harvesting, you need to level up either mage or fighter, I suggest fighter (lower cost on mellee skills than magic skills) and spend 50 points on crafting start or harvesting start.
So far I have yet to FIND tools over Q10, due to the bug I think. And no it would not affect your outcome, BUT wearing ANY armor over LIGHT (look for ONE star, if it has MORE than one star, STRIP or put on light armor) will hamper your efforts...more degrades(which lowers xp if nothing else), and more focus spent etc.
Ok Harvesting, there are TONS of guides, most of them better than average, some REALLY good. BUT here is the short of it. YES you can get ALL of the 20 in that node, ONE unit at a time. Until about 60ish, two units would likely "kill" the node...if not the area. SO to speed things up, get accelerated prospecting, and faster rate and speed of extraction, and to protect your nodes...use GENTLE Quality as often as possible (this will also lower the number of gassing/explosion you encounter).
And yes you have to spend fighter points or mage points to buy ANY skill starter you did not get in action packs (crafting or harvest). BUT fighter skill such as aim at or other skills have questionable benefit so...I ended up with 50 points EASY to gain magic start on my Harvest/harvest/crafter. ONLY skill you get at the start WITHOUT any action packs is FIGHTER, and you only need to buy or make a dagger or punch a mob to gain fighter xp.
OH quality of 20 YES, you get "gentle extraction 2" or "harmful extraction 2" and then tinker around with the actions to get the skills you want. Right click the "hands bar" and add and subtract skills to that until you are happy. Also as you level, your skills go up, by about 25...you should be getting ONE unit of Q20...if not sooner. It gets MUCH easier in your 30's, but xp flows slower, while materials of higher grade and quality flow easier. 40's even out.
So far NO run speed, and if you think running around takes a while on noob land...try the mainland out. WHOA big land, slow feet!
Each weapon or armor has a name IF you have crafting you have ONE or two of the forms ALREADY...yes, but you don't have the name...make ONE item and info it See the name. Yeah threw me off too.
Also...if you are a Fyros...ask your newbie questions. The Fyros community in noobie land is WONDERFUL, I just left them last week. Yea I stayed a LONG time, actually trying to give back what I was given, help wise. But I doubt it has changed THAT much.
Number one, Missions, you found them...GREAT. The overseers are your FRIEND, Also find the suppliers and right click them...see that "what will you buy" or something like that...Ask it. And then find which patterns you have. That way...once you have burnt up your missions..you can still MAKE dappers while you craft grind. Gotta LOVE them Suppliers *hugs Supplier*

lifebane wrote:Ok, so I saw a bazillion ads for Ryzom over the months in the gaming mags, so I decided to snag it. I've played for 2 days now, and have a character with 16 Magic and another with 10 Melee / craft / harvest. I have a few questions I haven't found answers to yet.
Is there a way for my melee to pull a critter from a distance so I don't have to walk into the pack?
With crafting / harvesting in the newbie areas, does the quality level of the tool matter? I dropped mondo coin on a QL 10 pick at the shop, but when it him my inventory, it was QL 1. Do I need to find a place that sells REAL QL 10 picks? Can I craft one instead?
Does the QL of the armor or weapon craft tool matter / help with success rate? If someone gave me a QL 30 tool - would it help or hurt me, and why?
My Mage has no crafting / harvesting. I purchased a pick, but can't harvest since it claims I don't have the action. What do I need to do to get it?
My fighter doesn't have magic but I noticed a 50 point skill called Learn Magic. Do I REALLY have to waste melee skill points to learn magic?!?! That makes NO sense if I do.
When Harvesting, is there a way I can get the 20 outta the node like the message states? I always get around 1 unit of 10.3, which rounds down to 10. Is there a better tool I can use to get more from a node? I tried a special harvest button that gives me a larger chance at harvesting, but I still never managed an 11. ???
With the missions - most are WAY outta newbie's league! Some of the crafting ones ask for special named weapons / armor. How do I get patterns for the ones with different names? I've yet to find a weapon / armor craft mission that I can do.
Is there any way to increase my run speed ( like AC1 )? Takes a long time to run around sometimes. Reminds me of EQ back when it was originally released - no sprint / SOW so you wasted all yer time running around.
On my mage, is there a way to have both acid and cold in one spell - in 2 colds to make a BIGGER spell? So far I'm not really seeing the point of the create a spell thing since many spells require 100% of the options. Does it get more diverse later in levels? When I read that you could create spells - I was hoping it was more like Daggerfall / Morrowind where you design yer spell how you want it with no restrictions other than your ability to use it.
That's all for the moment. I'm sure I have more, but I'm drawing blanks atm.
Thanks!
