Hey jval -

Your best bet for keeping this accessible is to maintain it on the wiki. I have created the page for you and linked it in the guides section.
Jval2529's Guide for People Coming from Modern MMOs

Also, you should probably review the information in the other guides found here just to be sure you aren't giving conflicting information or re-posting info that's already been added to the wiki. You'll see the link to your guide at the bottom of the list under the hunting/leveling guide section.

Good luck!

I'm with the others on this one. I have never had issues with my characters after handing in the note (and I always hand it in, just for the sake of feeling complete).. I have played a LOT

Can you please elaborate?

Im not sure actually, someone told me this and I figured it would be a good idea to tell people who don't know what's going on. I'll be sure to do my research on it and come back with a more details. Im a fairly new player I expect people here to be telling the truth I don't see how lying helps anyone so I assumed it was true, then again this IS still the internet.

Freeport paladin, Dark Elf SK/Necro (The Dead), and probably good/evil erudites I could see having faction hits for turning in the note.

Of course, the factions that would be negatively impacted would probably already hate you, and I if you did ever want to grind up an opposing faction I think turning in your newb note would be the least of your problems.

FWIW I don't remember the last time I turned in a note. I usually just attack the first guard/priest of discord I see upon character creation for a quick ride to the newb yard.

Nice newbie write up. Just a couple things:


7)Making Money
There are several ways to make money, one of the best ways is to sell bonechips (necromancers of all levels need them) A single stack will earn you 3 plat, which is a lot for a low level character. Other then that just vendor all stuff you can't use.

I guess this depends on where you are, but bone chips usually sell for about 10p for a stack of 20 around East Commons.

Heh...Vendar beat me to this as I was typing ).

1.5) A Quick note on gear
There are no level restrictions restrictions on gear, if you find it wear it if you find an upgrade wear that. Although there ARE class restrictions, the only thing close to a level ristriction are magic weapons that proc when they hit, these will not proc until that specific weapon skill is high enough

Actually this is "until your lvl is high enough" for instance on a Gnoll Hide Lariat the stun proc won't work untill lvl 25. It will still proc, but you get a message that says "you are not a high enough lvl to control this item" or some such.
