The Life of a Newbie - Days 1 & 2

Interesting story. Would like to read more about your experiences soon. Keep playing and keep posting.

Excellent Pinky.

Although I have recently taken my first disciple on so I now have to keep calling her Pinky just to see if she responds and I can catch her/you out!

Keep up the good work

At least one person now knows who you are, and that there is possibly to be a reward?
Unless lots of people took on a disciple and gave them a jester and went to Billy's at a time when there were no guides present at PA?
Unless the mentor is dim he will be cleaning up his act from now on .

If seems that you aren't the only one undercover in EU either? The Creative Kingdom guys and gals have also been around doing this according to their posts...jeeze isn't anyone just a n00b nowadays?

I always try to add the disciple beware speech when talking about mentors.... I guess I did not push the bad mentor possibility enough.....Sorry

I will submit for my floggings now...

I Bet after posting your first two days as a noob there will be a lot of noob-farmers who take care of their victims a while longer ^^

Nice start & a typical introduction to EU these days (I guess)

Not too surprised by your mentor experience, I'll be interested to see if your mentor is available again to help you out or where it was one time start up (quanitity rather than quality)
I agree with you about sweating being easier these days , lots of help available; huge difference from the PA sweat farm (training & trapping) & Phoenix sweating;when there was hardly any help available for healing or TP runs.

Back in the pre-Gold days, even new arrivals would show other new arrivals how to trap creatures. We used to trap sweat mobs in all the structures at the Windmill Settlement, (24800, 10100) Southwest from the outpost near the Southwest corner of Lake Serene. On good days, we would trap 10 or more sweat mobs. To gather sweat, you Concentrated, then Gathered, ran 51m away from that mob, then ran back to repeat -- or moved on to another sweat mob. We just gathered sweat from each trapped mob to gather sweat faster.

It was great until noob hunters came with their shiny Jester D-1s and culled the farm.

might be too late for that, since 20 pts is already the time when you cant kick anymore

that isn't too much hunting

well, i wasnt there, but similar tactics

and when a noob hunter came i usually logged off

and the shiny jesterd1 guy suddenly saw 3-5 angry mobs with just him as target

10 sec later i was back, often with the same amount of red dots on radar, but instead of a green one a white one #D

Nice one pinky.
My wife started playing last week (with a can't beat em join em attitude)
and almost as soon as she joined she was spammed with mentor requests as soon a she said no it popped up again. other than that she has had no problems so far and is really hooked.Im letting her explore the game like i did by giving her as little advice as i can. she hasn't found EF yet lol.

The jester mentor thing reminded me of a post i read today...
Don't accept mentoring from the guy that gives away free stuff...

Are you gunna have a EF account for your noob
searching for hints and tips online is a nooby kinda thing it would be intresting to
see what site's you find and if they affect your networking.
good luck cant wait to hear about your first hof
