Having one for the pterosaurs might be useful. Might also be good for explaining the mechanics for music scores and player made books too.
I assume by pterosaurs, you mean the fast travel we have. And if you do mean that I'm not sure which bits of them you think would benefit from an additional explanation. The quest based system of travel seems pretty clear to me. But I might be wrong.
This is an excellent idea, that I really appreciate as a new player.
I found when I first started crafting items using a table, a reminder or a walkthrough would have been deeply appreciated - it makes sense to put things in a forge, but not in a table. Other things like tools for mining or fishing could be easier to use with even just one pointer as to what do to. Maybe certain objects that you acquire, like a summoning ring (I think thats what you call it) could have even just one pop up on how to use/access it.
Frankly I don't know of enough things to give something really in-depth, it will be interesting to see what others think.
This idea was impart stimulated by hearing people talk about how some things are not that obvious if you don't know them. Summoning and using pets is a good idea, I'll use that one.
@Ligh, there is currently no way to get around gold man pop ups appearing on second+ characters when doing quests, as there is no functionality for tuning them off or on. The possibility that this becomes annoying to people who (keep) make(ing) new characters is something I'm happy to take flack for given the fact I'm certain that when these appear to new characters some will find them useful, which is the whole point.
I agree with Eonwind, the fact of having more than one account to play in parallel shouldn't be the norm but an exception.
I suggest to put the gold men at jayose's to invite people to read the books in the library and to suggest them to look more often at the catalogue because sometime can be tricky for a new player to find the correct books just by trying every bookshelf.
I'll add some dialogue to Jayose where he suggests reading the book I've placed next to him, which I added int he first place to help people find where all the books are located.
As a new player don't. There are enough things in the game already to annoy us. Want something to do to help us? Fix the books! ....<truncated>
What books? If you are referring to crafting books then that is a engine problem, which I can't help with, which is why I spend my time making things like this which I can make. And if you are talking about the compiling guides, well same thing, I can't help.
