The Newbie Guide

[tempus]

Can this thread be stickied at the top of this page so new players will see this immediately Its very good info and will help when they need answers to questions they can not find. I think this and Fusa's, PDF should be next to one another for better ease with which to obtain info needed or wanted about the servers.

how do you work your way up from a newb/beginer here in the forums? lol

[dodrudon]

Ask so many questions that the DMs start pressing the dm_kill button. THAT'S how.

A belated welcome to Higher Ground and the forums

Nice guide. You might want a section on delevelling and chat functions (although they're not really necessary, people might appreciate it). I'll have a go if you like.

[dodrudon]

Added a section on important changes (weapons, armors, subbies, classes, spells), and deleveling and deleting characters.

Deleveling and Deleting Characters
You can delevel a character if you've messed up, for instance, chose a wrong feat or skill. Visit Rowan's Guardian in town, though it will cost you some gold. However, you can't delevel a character after you take your first legendary level, or if you get stat points (such as from RDD levels). Also, you can visit him to delete your character too.

I think I'm missing some important information in this section, can someone please fill in the blanks?

I think that's right. Incidentally, I think it is only RDD levels that stop you delevelling. Well, they don't... Your character just gets broken afterwards. Nothing else I know of will break your character on delevelling.

It will give you the "You can't delevel this character" message if you try to delevel a RDD or any of the builds that have used stat swapping Str assassins, Ftrs, etc.

Also not having enough gold on you will omit the delevel option in the dialog. It does not say you can't pay it, it just isn't there.

Updated, thanks

Tried to color the links, but it's not showing up. Is my browser overwriting the link's colors? Cuz I remember in Yomi's posts they showed up fine.

I'm not sure where else to put this, but as it's still sorta nooby, I thought it might fit here.

What do you do once you've become immortal? You've just hit 40, you're glowing away and looking bright-eyed at your new immortal belt, and then you think 'Where do I go now?'. I'm still sorta new to post-40 content. It seems some runs need immunities, some need high levels, and some need tags that need other things, and it all gets confusing. Is it possible for someone to make some sort of list of runs, and the requirements/essentials of them?

[dodrudon]

Ah crap. I have half a guide for Immortals finished, but there's soooo much content that could go in one that I don't know how to say it all.

There's the link to what's there.

Good luck!

[Aermiackrist]

LOL! I've asked that many questions, Dodrudon.

this guide was helpful when i first joined HG

[StrykerOfChaos]

Should we update some of this information? For example, we can no longer use the bank for gold. We have the !wallet command.
