Question What to do on Arcadia

[DoomMaster]

Hey

I just joined and I will be downloading Arcadia in due course.

What should I do once I get on?

I have a strong interest in Mir2 servers.

Get yourself stuck in to the Emily quests in border town, pick up everything the Yobs, Yetis etc drop and tt when your bag is full and quick sell it to the vendors in border village, some are inside buildings, you will be surprised how much gold you will make from doing this.

Before you know it you'll be in your mid 40s and really invested.

From there you should look around Bichon town for the farmer and try do some of his easy quests, like gamescore and pest removal, den of evil are a few.. don't blow your gold on the 100k gold quest, it will shoot you up too many levels and you'll not have any gear or cash and immediately hit a wall, save this quest for when you have around 250k, keep levelling, questing, selling drops and saving your gold to buy level 50 gear from vendors in Arcane Wall.

Use hidden lands to find yourself a special ring (clear, para, pro). Don't buy these rings from players as you will need the bones from hidden lands anyway and more than likely you'll find one of each whilst you are there gathering them for the farmers quest "bone collector".

Be polite and friendly, and speak to other players and even if they don't reply just keep being nice and soon you will find a friendly player who may even take you under their wing

Most of all, have fun! Arcadia is a great server.

Brilliant intro, pretty much everything I'd have said

Be wary of people being too friendly though, people will think they are doing you a favour by giving you free stuff or taking you hunting and boosting you a bunch of levels, but it's a very short term win for a big long term problem. You'll find yourself higher level with no skills and no ability to kill stuff in the places you need to make progress at that level, so you get into a cycle of relying on others and not being able to do anything yourself. I've seen so many people quit shortly after starting because of that.

Getting some help later on is of course fine, but when starting out it's massively beneficial for your appreciation and knowledge of the server if you follow the game path, doing the quests and finding stuff yourself. Drop files have been really well tuned to allow new players to find books and items they need by themselves without much difficulty, and it's actually really fun.

Also try to get yourself an arcamon, spiderfrog and tongs are popular for low level players as they are a decent speed and hit hard enough to make a big difference, especially against bosses. You can find them by killing mobs that run away instead of chase you (spiderfrog in insect cave, tongs in serpent tomb), or you might get lucky and find one for sale in a shop.

I'd advise staying in the starter guild "BorderPatrol" or guildless and just play for your own enjoyment and exploration until around level 120, by then you should have a decent idea of what you're doing, where things are, and have most of the kit and books suitable for your level. Then you can start looking for a newbie-friendly guild who do regular guild hunts. There's a handful to choose from, but worry about that nearer the time. That's probably a week or two away.

The Google sheet linked in this thread gives you a lot of data about where to find certain items etc.

Best of luck in your adventure!

Up to level 130-140 it’s really fun and easy and what the games about, from 140 onwards be worthwhile getting into some noob guilds to hunt with people similar level and enjoy group hunts 150-160 perhaps stay or jump to some of the more active guilds that can help and give advise to progress more.

Great to see some other new players have fun

Ive been in the game for maybe 2 weeks now. I would suggest :

1. using the resource guide located in Bichon Wall to give you an idea of where to hunt and where to find skill books.

2. When you get a pet (arcamon) do not toss it after using it. I thought once the lives hit 0/10 it was gone for good but its not! You can actually replenish it with more lives. Also, the pet gets hungry so watch its hunger level and you can feed it with the food items that drop when you kill monsters (broths, teas, etc.). I didn't know this till later on. The pet is really helpful when you are playing solo.

3. When you kill mobs, be sure to pick up all the different "plants" they drop. You can sell these for pretty decent money and overtime you accumulate a lot of money just selling them (Zade's noob wizard guide alludes to this).
