Returning to game from 2015. Everything is different and I need help

I'm a returning player. Last time i played was around 2015. I am completely lost, everything is different. For example, the GWF is now a Barbarian!? At the moment, I just need some basic character build info, gear, and suggestions.

I tried the WIKI but there were so many ads it was hard to find stuff. This is the wiki I looked at: https://neverwinter.fandom.com/wiki/Neverwinter_Wiki

Some help would be great. Thanks in advance!

    Talk to Knox. Run his tasks. That will get you through with gear and stuff until you can start the campaigns.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    YouTube is the fastest place to get upto date with 2015 that's a long time, so there's alot to catch up on, Aragon or Northside on YouTube are pretty good for getting upto date, they have reworked the Leveling system, removed/fixed legacy characters, they have reworked the enchantments, there's lots of new gear available, there's now Mythic insignias and 4 insignias slot mounts, the lockboxes have been reworked also, there's a few new and reworked trials and advanced dungeons, personally with no idea what you have I'd suggest get your self a good debuff mount and Artifact and get farming the dragonslayer campaign, getting the gear from there will give you a big boost after that you want to focus on your enchantments and insignias and continue upping your item level till you can get into the latest campaigns,if you can get started with latest campaign while you can still enter it regardless of item level the area will be a struggle at first but again some decent gear available if you can get through it

    I would also consider starting a new character (leveling event for it starts next week!) to help ease you back into the game. At the same time though, next week we are gaining a post level 20 in game guide of sorts that will reward you for getting to certain milestones.

    I already have all my character slots filled with various characters. All of them are level 20. Not sure if deleting and making a new one is a good idea. But then again, I don't know what I'm doing.

    Check all your characters if any look like they don't have anything important than maybe consider remaking a character or two as it is true we have neverembers recruitment event soon which is usually worth running a new character through, I buy 2 character slots each year for that event, ofc I'm not saying you should buy anything, but if you got a spare character with nothing you would consider rare or important than it's probably worth running the recruitment event when it launches

    The game has multiple major revises since 2015. Every major revise changed a lot.
    So, forget what you knew. Play your existing characters as newbie and start from Knox. It gives gear, mount, bags, ....

    By the way, don't throw away your gear although they are useless. Convert them to be appearance Library item. Right click the gear. Certain ancient gear appearance cannot be found anymore.

    Is it possible to share items/currency between characters on the same account? Where and how.
  • greywyndgreywynd Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 7,167 Arc User
    Once items are bound to character they can't be shared.

    Your bank account has shared slots available. Go to Manycoins in PE; press M, find it in the list on the right side. You can move gold and Astral Diamonds into the bank to be withdrawn on whichever character you want it on.

    The shared bank now has more 'currency' to be shared: AD, gold, t-bar, companion upgrade token, mount upgrade token, insignia powder, unbind token and reaper's marks. Since it takes a lot of 'real estate', one may miss them if they don't know they need to scroll down to see.

    I agree with the others, it will be best to just start a new character from scratch and re-learn the entire game by doing all the leveling quests and adventure zones. It's been changed so much it's really not possible to 'pick-up where you left off'. So much has been deleted and changed it's just better for you to start from the beginning again.
    Apparently pointing-out the bleeding obvious is a 'personal attack'.
