Well in my former post I was asking for help with one of the hunter's quest in HV. I'm still doing them, only a 1st circle hunter, but I'm just trying to save up the laurel leaf pins. I guess the more of those I have the better "missions" will be avaliable for me at the hunter's guild. Mostly done just C rank stuff, but I did get a B rank once.

The pay isn't that bad considerring how easy the things are for me to kill and how fast I go through them. I make quite a bit with drops going along with the adena reward for finishing the missions.

What I need help on is the following:
If I keep saving up laurel leaf pins, will I in the end be bringing in lots more adena? Should I stay 1st circle hunter for now(char in sig)? Or should I take the test to go 2nd circle hunter?

ALSO - Trying to do the coin of magic quest too. It says I need to go kill Harit lizardmen or something. I killed a lot and none dropped the quest item. Is the quest telling me the wrong thing? I just started it btw.
For Coin of Magic, Harit Lizardman Shaman/Matriarch drops the coin you need for the quest.
As I recall, advancing in the hunter quest really didn't do much.. It was a good quest for solo tho, it gives you something to look at besides your xp bar.
Thank you everyone for your help. I'm now a level 3 member and I've started collecting my coins! ^.^
