Starting Guide For New Players On Excelsior :)

[Johnny Warren]

I'm not trying to put down absolutely everything you do.... I've barely posted in any of your threads. Convincing a new player to use a skill ball on vet is just a terrible idea. The rest of the concept is fine. Pets is definitely the easiest way to start making bank here. I personally wouldn't advise them to chase champs as there isn't much gold in doing that. But getting a set of Max bunnies, or even cheap imps, and crushing dungeons will get you off to a flying start. Just do yourself a favour and save that skill ball for something that's actually hard to raise

But see why couldn't you just message me and be like yo that's a bad idea maybe they should do this instead and I could then edit the post. seems much easier that way,.....

I like to be credited as someone who knows this server back to front and always offers good advice that is worth following. So I like for my statements about the best way for someone to play/proceed here to be public. As I have said, I've bitten my tongue a lot on the forums recently (especially in threads you've started or are participating in) but I can't be silent when I see advice that hurts our most vulnerable players. I will PM next time I see such an error and see how you handle it.

As an FYI I hope you're encouraging the new players in NEX to read the wiki. It may be old and some sections out of date, but 90% of the things that new players ask are answered there.

Ask people for access to house trainers which you can use for several skill training and pet training too

Starting guide that doesn't mention Mistvale or the Wiki once

[Lach]

this is something for when they just start if you think you can make one better stop talking about it and be about it.

Yes, the new player wiki is pushed as a tool on our discord. It has too much good information to ever be ignored. Ive been on the server for 30 days, i use this wiki every day lol

[Johnny Warren]

That's good Sliman's. That's the best advice to give a new player. READ THE WIKI. Make sure they don't skip Mistvale either.

Perhaps not a canonical source and not 100% accurate for our server ...
but I use https://uo.stratics.com/hunters/
to check what are the strong and weak sides of the monster.
then I open my armory chest and pickup proper weapon

It gives also estimate how long will take me to kill it (shows HP range).

I also use this site to match (eye hand) treasure map to the location number.
and the UOAutoMap shows me the location.

but it is waste of time for new players. Instead GO TO Mistvale.
