Nudge in the right direction

[Ilkar]

Hi Folks,

I am newly returning having only played 3 days total. Can anyone push me in the right direction in finding answers to some of my random questions.

1. Can I get every skill or is there a finite number of skills I can have?
2. Is there a logical list of skills to start with to get me going self-sufficient like?
3. Is there an up-to-date noob guide? (I have spent a few hours reading the forums and a lot of what people talk about goes straight over my head right now.)
4. When I log off of the game do I stay in the world? (I read a post where someone was in town but not online?)
5. I read somewhere on the forum that it is wise to keep your humours even… is it possible to straighten them out if you have gone heavily in to one and not the others or is it quicker / easier to start over?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Thanks I will take a peek. I prefer written info as its easier to refer too but a video is a good start.

Thanks again.

1) Yes you can "eventually" get every skill not all of them are nessicary on every character and some are considered 'luxury' skills

2) if you started on providence, your best bet is to pick one industry, and do a bunch of it, sell the products to other pilgrims, and use silver to progress yourself. Inspiration becomes a very large bottleneck early on even if you only play a couple of hours per day.

3) Not sure on this one -- Sorry!

4) Normally you will leave the world; here are a few reasons you might not:
a) You close the client forcefully/it crashes: In this case you stay in the world for somewhere between 20 and 30 seconds, then logout pending you are also not meeting one of the following criteria.
b1) you have the "Crime!" debuff -- Remember crime doesn't pay, there are also more in-depth posts about this elsewhere.
b2) you are standing on a claim you don't have rights on (This can happen in various ways). Town claims for instance you can walk onto without committing crime.
c) your homestead has been destroyed. Pretty simple, make sure you have a homestead, and protect it!

5)During gluttony the amount of points required to raise -any- humor is equal to the number of your -highest- humor so it's generally a good idea to keep them relatively even.

I will add, the link you have been given above to the gamerzach video, one of the players I play with loves watching them and swears by them. I can't vouch for them myself though, as like you, I prefer reading things.
One of the most frustrating things in this game for me, is the wiki's being out of date and due to the devs doing a good job of adding/updating content, this becomes a problem.
If you stick with the game long enough, you will find a big reliance on the help forum, or experimenting in game to answer things yourself.
You will find that 99% of people on this forum are great, and will help with any questions or problems you have. Just stick with it.
The absolute best thing you can do IMO, is get yourself playing alongside a more experienced player that is willing to help you along the way. I'm not sure how difficult this would be though, as I haven't looked to settle with another player and know people are weary of taking in new people.
