Ryzom

I have to say I'm glad to be here, and the few players I have come across in newbie island seemed to be very nice people. That and the crafting system are the things I found more attractive in the game so far (was a bit tired of PvP-heavy MMOs). As many new players I am a bit concerned about not having seen many people online, but I guess that will change when I hit mainland.

Also if any fellow crafters would like to give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it. I chose a mixed build (crafting/harvesting/magic) and have not found any specific troubles so far, but I would like to know how to find plans for new items other than spending my talent points on them. I have noticed that buying materials from NPCs is very costly, and there are a few things that I find it difficult to harvest. Is there any good online guides on harvesting/crafting? I was unable to find any.

Thanks a lot everyone, see you on Atys.

Welcome to Atys

First you normally will find more people on the mainland.

If like to learn about harvesting, you may check
Doubletaps Ultimate Harvesting Guide and
Harvesting Stanza Description on the Ryzom Wiki
With these you should get a good start at harvesting and all.

If you like to learn about crafting, err... experiment

Crafting is a bit of an art. Try making some clothing in turquoise, red and blue. When you are able to do that you will have a good grasp of the crafting system.

Also if you post your toon's name and race, someone may visit the Islands to help you.
