Hi, nearly finished my 7 day trial and will continue to play the game as I'm having loads of fun, everyone very helpful (big thanks to Utai for gear).

Questions :

1 = enchanting ? what does it do and is there any do's and don'ts or a guide?

2 = at what level should i look to explore the more dangerous areas ? started tryker and found 3 portals, but die pretty much as soon as go through.

3 = heavy armour ? as a fighter should i look to get this or wait ? it looks cool, but will i gimp myself buying some ?

thanks in advance for any answers.

1) its dead simple actually. any spell you can cast (or others can and then give to you) can be enchanted. right click spell and choose crystalise.

from there you can enchant a weapon of choice, have it in right hand, find the spell crystal in inventory and right click.

Next step is the weapon needs charging with sap crystals, you can learn to make them - its a skill in the magic branch, and again right click the crystals and charge up weapon. then the 'use item enchantment' action will fire said spell.

considerations
dont use a spell of higher level than the weapon
all spells are an instant cast, which means you can use max time credits in the action with no penality
if you are enchanting weapons and wearing heavy armor you will have a serious range malus so go easy on the range credits in this case

2) explore straight away its the best way to learn survival skills... there are 2 ways out of tryker. you smash your way through with a team of lv150+ people, or you go solo and sneak. I recently did the sneaking route with an alt, took me about 30 attempts to get through bounty beaches with my uber 100hp but got there in the end

3) get it, is a great help. try to buy choice or better, and forget about casting when wearing it..

saving up to buy a packer should be on your to do list as well, then you will be able to have a caster set, ha set, focus set, etc and keep whats not being used at the stables.

glad ur having fun, now go have some more

Technically, not true. The spells are instant, you can use max time for no penality on the spell itself, but there is a time limit after for your next use

surely that is technically true, i didnt mention anything about the cool down for next 'use enchant' use (which to avoid confusion to poor Kharton is the same length regardless of the time credit used (afaik))
