guild to ryzom. helpfull hints and tips
Posted: Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:28 pm
ok to start with i loved this game. got to lvl 40 in most skills hit a wall and hated it
came back and hated it
remade loved it etc
these are the points i think people who are finding the game abit of a nightmare should read
1) if your a harvester but hate it why are you harvesting? people spend hours harvesting and find it boring thinking something good will come of it. well basicly it wont. harvesting is nothing more than a trade skill. you can become rich useing harvest and its fantastic if your a crafter but you dont need to raise it if you dont like it.
also if you cannot find the mats you want dont worrie about looking for one mat type just find choice+ mats which are not hard and harvest lots of them. dont worrie if its not what you need as there will be lots of people who will want that mat and will trade with you
2) crafting .. i find people try to craft everything and find it slow and painfull.
just focus on one type of something and do it well. like be only a wep crafter or just a ammo crafter etc. and if your selling crafting stuff build up a stock first and of corse a big tip when crafting and selling is to give people a discount if they hand in there old weapon to you. you can then sell it on.
4) magic.. you dont need magic at all. if you want to be a fighter just be a fighter . magic is not needed but is alot of fun.
5) fighting ..
raise str/balance/hp etc as much as possible they should come first over everything else. no point getting the best attack if you dont have the stam to use it .. also if you want to be a crafter etc you dont need to raise this at all. most skill lines gives you the option to raise hp
6) weapons.. people spend ages trying to buy max damage mod choice weps or max protect armor. why? go out and use what you got. because xp is capped at 3k you dont neeed the best of the best. of corse when you find one its fantasic but having a shop made wep shoudnt stop you from lvling
just some easy pointers. basicly only raise the skills you enjoy playing. dont try to be a jack of all trades as you will find it soon gets to the point where it will take you weeks to lvl all of them . trade with people and dont worrie if you havent got the best stuff..
how to level fast and what to kill..
-------------------------------------
slow lvling is one thing which gets alot of people down. the thing to rember is that there is a cap of 3kxp a kill.
if your say lvl 30 melee and your fighting a mod kipee for 2.8k a kill why do so many people spend hours trying to fight hards for that extra 200xp per kill?
also if your solo or team fighting at any level you should be looking at making 500-1500xp a kill . no more than that. simply put at any level you can find stuff which you can kill in 2-3 hits for 500xp or like 5-10 hits for 1.5k xp but most stuff which is 3k xp will take about 20+ hits to kill and they hit hard.
it is better over time to kill 6 easy mobs giving 500xp each giving a total of 3kxp for about 2 mins work than to risk your life trying to kill something giving 3kxp wich will take a team (not solo) about 5mins to kill.
to recap when lvling fighting skills go for easy to kill mobs 500+ xp and kill lots of them. the other good side is there is so much loot to have. dont worrie about high lvl mobs there time will come when you kill lots of them at once.
hope this helps some people. may be a good place to post other hints/tips also why people are finding the game a nightmare so others can help.
