Well I'm coming up just fine made it to lv 20 elven knight almsot 21 only problem is making money .. one thing it's very easy to spend money but to make it is a diff. story. I'm enjoying the game so far love the design of the game and art. Really hoping to get deeper into the game enough soloing with no chat i'd really like to join a guild or have some friends who can teach and help me along the way of my adventures several people i've met early on has not logged in for days saddens me as I grind with no friends finally made enough cash back up to get to giran :) so i'm gonna stay here a bit ! It's crazy how your money can just dissappear when you upgrade >.<
I suggest at this level and as new player to take things slower on the XP and get you a cash-flow that will allow you more easier walk through the game in the long run. At lvl 21 Giran is not really the best spot to grind so I suggest you hunt in the regions of Dion town. There are a few quests there that are worth your time and effort that will give you some adenas as reward.
One is the Dion grizzlies killing, which is given to you by trader Pano in Floran town and another is the quest of family honor given by one of the guards near the Gate keeper in Dion and is about killing Orc shamans and Champions and gather the required items. Both quests are repeatable, but for the second one in order to make some money out of it you need to gather as much of the rewards you receive from the guard for gathering the quest items (meaning he gives you bottles of wine of a certain age and in the NPC shop you will get different prices for resell on them).
And as my clan general already stated here above, if you need in game help and we are online, just PM us and we'll be more then happy to help you out ;)
