Flurry of Questions from New Player
Long time MMO player (10+ yrs in EQ2/5 yrs in Eve) with a few questions. I appreciate any help.
1. Is there a way to practice combat? Like a combat dummy or training arena?
2. Other than following the Achievements for Exploration is there any help in focusing on Exploration? Like a questline or specific NPCS etc.
3. Is there a way to view an item's stats prior to stealing it?
4. Will I ever be able to get a mount via questing/adventuring or must it be purchased via the crown store?
5. As a new player I'm just my best judgement as to how to spend my skill points. Can I respec later?
6. What's a good source to follow the game's lore? I completed the intial prophet quest (entered his mind and watched the five companions due their thing) but I will probably want to revisit that part of the lore. I guess I'm looking for some chronological lore resource where I can read as I go.
Many thanks for any assistance.
