Newbie Help (Start Here) / Re: A Couple of hints for new players

So how do you afford repairs on the daggers and training?

I'm well aware that people are maing rediculous amounts of tria when they mine. I'm playing a warrior who's sole interest is to rid the world of any and all spiteful being outthere. He has no interest in mining whatsoever, and i really really have a hard time with the notion of having one character "feed" the other with money. I don't see how that relation could be roleplayed, and i really don't want to. So, i don't have a miner. But what i'm asking is : Is this the economic balance that you were aiming for when designing the game? Or can we expect changes?

How do my fellow gamers feel about these things? Is it fine the way it is?

Wow, lots of feedback - excellent! I think i should clarify a couple of things.

What's your 'melee' skill? That could explain why you think weapons are unimportant 
My melee skill is 0, swords 3. I'm a dwarf with good strength and stamina but that's about it.

I did this: Bought 2 Steel Falchions From Harnquist, only saw a slight increase in damage/time when fighting same mobs as earlier. Sold them, bought short swords, same deal. Bought leather chest, legs, boots, arms (i have light armor 2 ) , saw a more noticeable decrease in damage taken. And the only reason i was able to try this out, is that someone gave me money. The mobs i am able to kill: rats, gobbles and the odd fanatic does not pay near enough to even consider doing this. And by the time i had made enough for a little more equipment, everything i had was more than halfway down in quality. Calcklaer either kill me or get me down to 20%, thus making it more profitable to kill rats. My point is that it pretty hard to make a living just by fighting. Perhaps the low lvl weapons and armor could be made more sturdy or cheaper. Or maybe I am doing something ( or everything) wrong ?

I've played for a week now, and i've observed a few things that makes newbie life very hard. So, here's a couple of tips:

1: Do not use weapons or armor,not even the cheapest, even if you have saved up enough money for it and have the appropriate skills to use it. You can do just as well barehanded, or almost as well.
This should enable you to save up some trias, which you will need for training. Rats and other weak mobs won't yield much more than you can spend on training, which is another reason not to spend on items at first. Those items will, when used, decay over time and you will find yourself paying lots of money just maintaining them.

2: Try to roleplay. Even if you think you're not very good at it, everyone else will appreciate your effort. It will be a much more rewarding game experience for all, if we atleast try.

3: Join a guild. You may think this game is about killing tough monsters, growing in power and wealth and becoming famous for being the baddest dorf in town. But really, its about the people you meet, who might become your friends (or your foes). There are many other games outthere who offers monsters and illustrious ways to beat them. But this game has a uniqe blend of people that you won't find anywhere else. Come on out and meet us :)

I'm sure there are planty of people who will disagree with this, especially #1. These tips comes from personal experience, and yours might be completely different, or there are much better ways to go about this and I simply haven't been around here long enough to know. Whatever the case, i'd be happy to see respons to this.
