Hey everyone,

I'm writing this post in regards to the different classes of Lusternia. So far I've been a knight the entire time my character has been around. I'm thinking of starting a new character in a new class since I'm starting to get kind of bored.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions in regards to leveling, pk, classes, and importantly roleplay quality.

Any advice given is greatly appreciated.

Anything but bard.

Ok.

I decided to try Shadowdancer. I'm human for my race. So if anyone here is a shadowdancer and could give me the low down on what the rp is suppose to be and such I would really appreciate it.

Thanks again,

The best answer can be found in the game. I'm sure Shayle and the other Shadowdancers would be more than happy to explain it to you there.

Ok,

I tried asking in the game but I seem to get different answers. So I was curious...what is best for hunting? Healing or astrology. I seem to hear that astrology can grant you blessings but for a novice...which is more practical?

For a novice healing is more practical because you don't get the useful blessings until expert and above, but you don't really want to pick one now and then want to switch later and lose a load of lessons.

The inept skill for healing is useful though, means you don't have to spend any on diagnose if the guild doesn't force you to. And if you forget it from inept and change to astro later obviously you don't lose any lessons.

Well, neither is beneficial to hunting unless you can put some lessons into them. Healing is good for... well, healing, while Astrology can give blessings, yes. You won't get any good blessings until a bit higher though. I tend to find Healing more useful. A good idea would be to take Healing for the first (free) ability of Succor which lets you diagnose yourself. If you later decide you don't want Healing, you can just forget the skill for no lesson loss since you didn't put any lessons into it in the first place. Novices generally should worry about their two other main guildskills and only diverting a few lessons into the third for relatively low but good skills. Getting Breaks in Healing would be nice since it serves as a free mending vial (with a mana cost so don't use healing if you don't have enough mana). But to reiterate, you don't really have to start considering Healing/Astrology/Hexes/Whatever as a novice.

EDIT: Sorta ninja'd by Shiri, but my post is more detailed!

Alright. Thanks again for all the help everyone.

Hey again,

So I've been working on my shadowdancer and I could use some help again. Yes I know, I'm a slow learner and such. Anyways, I've been trying to figure out the newbie honour quests in the newton caverns and I'm having trouble. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas on where to look to get some more information on them. I've spoken to every gnome and fink I could find and just can't seem to figure it out.

I figure I'm either missing something simple...or these things are harder then it was to bring song back to bopalopia...

Anyways, thanks again for all the help, I'll try to get smarter and learn some stuff on my own.

It's a little of both. The Bop quest was easy, even I figured it out and I'm not usually much of a quester (I just hated that evil little pooka...). There are a few difficult things, such as things hidden in the room description which you have to examine, or things hidden behind secret exits that you have to look for.
