Whats your best tip for some that just started playing the game some thing that after you learned about makes you think I wish I had known about that before.

Mine would be that you dont need to keep click the mouse button to activate your at wills as soon as I figured that out it was a real game changer for me felt like such a **** afterwards. So whats your best tip for new players your eureka moment if you will.

    don't fall for the "spend real money' trick.

    But what if they really want to just play this game? Your advice falls pretty short then.

    Don't get side tracked by dungeons/skirmishes. Dungeons take an hour and whatever upgrades you get from them will be replaced within 3-4 levels. Skirmishes less time is wasted but they are both vastly inferior to quests for xp. I know having never seen them yet you will want to experience them, but don't worry, at 60 you can play through all of them again as epics =P

    Level your character to endgame and try Tier 2 dungeons before you decide to spend real money.

    Leveling is amazing fun, so is Foundry. however, if you like raids Neverwinter has so many issues that you should "try before you buy"....

    If your having trouble with a quest, press J to see what level the quest is, you may indeed be in over your head. Foundry missions are good for catching up.

    1. Enjoy. If you liked Neverwinter, you will love this game.
    2. Do not buy anything with "real money". You can buy everything with game currency. If later you want something fancy or speed up things, you can do it knowing better in what you spend your money.
    3. If you roll a cleric and you use to play dungeons with random players, prepare to be a potion-holic.

    Don't spend any real money for at least a month. At that point you should have more perspective on what's worth buying and more sober about your decisions.

    Only do what you enjoy. If it feels like annoying work... skip it. Life's too short.

    becomes very obvious what is the main thing to know for this game, gets mentioned a lot about not spending money, or at least not too fast.
    there`s actualy nothing to do when you hit 60.
    there`s no pvp competition, just 2 dull bg`s.
    pve is also nothing.

    i liked your post better when it had: don`t spend money in it a few sec ago ;p
    people should get aware of it, before they meet the lockbox moneygrab.

    1. Join a good guild

    2. Do not spend any real money other than to support the developers. You can get the best gear in this game relatively quickly compared to other MMORPGs. You also need more skill than gear to complete the toughest dungeons so spending money and gearing up too quickly without mastering the game will still result in failed dungeon runs.

    my most helpfull tip goes with what you have already said about changing you at wills buttons, set mouse button 3 (wheel cliclk) to forward move so you wont be wearing out your "W" key. also make a keybind to follow, type "/bind 9 follow" to set the 9 key to follow command. quests are far faster for lvling up than grinding. and last tip find a large guild that likes helping

    Not necessarily the best tip.....but it is partly true. If however you like supporting the devs, then buy the packs to get that tier 3 mount.

    Otherwise, you really do not need to spend money in this game to succeed and get to the highest levels

    Good advice.

    Get a good guild or structure of friends to run with.

    Enjoy the ride. My first character when i hit 60 i bought 3 items with gold, 5 items off AH for really cheap, and traded in seals for another piece and BAM i was stomping T2's... On my subsequent characters i plan on taking longer, not spending anything and gearing up the legit way.

    Dont pay much attention to the forums about changes, game dying, devs being money grubby. The people that dont care for the game are pretty big drama queens. (so far the game has completely died at least 17 times due to changes yet subscriber count keeps going up).

    Have fun!
