2.3 Level Up

Level Up!

I played a few of the initial group quests with a group of adventurers and gained enough experience for my level 2. I chose to take a sorcerer level. In DDO, a character can multiclass. This means taking some of your levels in one class, and some in at least one other. I suppose you can keep multiclassing and become a level 1 in all the classes, but generalization does not usually help you in this game. I would recommend choosing two or at most three classes to specialize in. Through my sorcerer level, I was able to gain 220 spell points (one of the reasons I chose to take the SOR level). I also gained the Magical Training feat which allows me to use more spells than I could before. Now I can use 1^st level sor wands with no roll. Yeah! I am planning to split my levels between bard and sor from here on out. I haven’t decided exactly how I will split them yet. The drawback is that I got fewer health points than I would have if I had taken another bard level. I have 320 sp, and only 28 hp.

On to bigger and better things. Now I am a Brd1/Sor1, and I am looking to gain some xp. I am going to do all the initial solo quests located in aspirant’s square (the place with all the trainers. Take a look at your map by pressing ‘m.’ You should be able to see most of the harbor. Notable things include the leaves, grape piles, and chalices on your map. The leaves always represent different trainers. Move your map cursor over a leaf to see the name and specialty of the trainer. Use your map often! It is your key to getting around. The little purple dots are collectors, where you turn in the mushrooms you may have been collecting. There are many types of collectables, and they all have specific collectors who are looking fro them. Examine the collectable with the ‘z’ button to see who collects it and where they are located. The Chalices are quest entrances. These are the places you can start quests that you have already collected.

There are five really short solo quests in Aspirant’s Square. You must do them alone, and if you wait until later, you will have to come back and do them for favor and no xp. Do them at first or second level if you can. Some players will tell you to skip them, but I would not.

Also, before you even take your first level (should have been posted in previous posts), you should visit Gerald Goodblade. Right outside of the Wavecrest Tavern. He will give you three good beginning quests, and you can do these with a party! You will earn enough for 2^nd level by doing these quests. See you next time
