New Character Blues

Falco63 · July 2015

My first character which is now lvl4 can't get a break and dies on what should be first lvl quests? Everywhere I go I am battling 7th & 8th lvl opponents and I can not seem to make any progress, the game so far is not fun at all just frustrating! It doesn't help that all my gear has been beat down to where it is worthless and I don't have enough gold to repair it. Where can I go to just grind for a while to get on my feet???

Mmmm. . . sounds like you need to find the NPC that teleports you to noob island. There should be a quest marker on the beach/docks for an NPC that offers to take you somewhere. Everything will be level 4 - 7. Have fun.

Go back to where you started the game and find an NPC giving you a quest to go to an island. It's the starting island of your alliance - Bleakrock for EP, Khenarti's Roost for AD or Stros M'Kai for DC. They're designed for the lowest level characters, when you finish, you will be level 7-8.

I agree, this sounds like you missed the starter island for your faction. There should have been a quest giver right outside the building where you first spawned after getting out of the prison maps.

Thanks that sounds like exactly what I missed, I appreciate the quick responses. And I don't mind being a noob at all; when I think I've got it all figured out, that's when I'm really in trouble

The game's tough when you're just starting out and don't have access to any great skills/weapons/gear. Definitely finish all the quests on the starter island, find all the skyshards there, and discover all the places on it. Gather materials for crafting, deconstruct everything you find (that you're not using/researching traits on), put some points into crafting, and make yourself some better gear if possible. Go to high traffic areas, hang out at world bosses (skull + cross bones symbols on map), farm some dolmens (Dark Anchors) for better gear. Take advantage of other players being present during quests/events, it really helps early on. Soon you'll be able to take on mobs by yourself no problem

Getting the very first quest gives the clue to go away from the starting town to the starting zone. You are expected to be about lvl 6 before getting on with the main story quests in the starting town, especially when you don't have a friendly character to gear you up at the start.
