    OH, I just read your post,, sorry for asking this question again.. I will check it out soon.. My power was out for about 2 1/2 hours tonight ( which is rare ) but this cut into my gaming time. I will resume this tomorrow :)
    thanks again guys for all this help.. this game has a lot to it and many place to go, I can see how this game can be potentially huge as they can just keep adding places and items as they go..

    I see this game has a bit of a learning curve but once tackeled there is alot of things to do and places to go..

    Also note that there's now a handy chap who will teleport you around Adoris (which is quite large), he can take you from the entrance to the city straight to the docks (and other locations), and vice versa.

    Bakers, either in owls or Ardoris.
    And if you skimp on it you only buy one yeast, then make more from flour.

    I crushed the North Valeway skeletons. For 5 levels. (By crushed I mean I died a bunch)

    Corpse wax for 10gp
    Residue for 30gp

    A weapon for 75gp approx.

    Or a weapon and a shield for 100gp.

    Or a bow for 75gp approx.

    Then as a group of MGT we worked the skeletons in Plains of Righ Inis. Great spot as there is 10 skeleton spawns and an ankh neaby. Same gold as above. Did level 10-20 here.

    Did the skeletons in Wyntons Folly from level 20 to 35. You can find them in a town of abode buildings in the far left corner (from where you start). About 20 spawn locations. Ankh right in the town by the gate.

    Currently working the skeletons of Wyrmsands. Left of the load zone in a circle of dragon bones. I recommend going around the sand elementals... 35-41 at present. Same loot as above.

    With 40 str and all the encumberance skills I can haul about 4000gp out of a zone.

    ONLY SELL TO BLACKSMITHS - double the value they give.

    You need to talk to the captain of the guards in Owls Head to have the vendors buy your residue for 30gp per.

    At level 41 I have an extra 12000 and all my adv and prod skill points are paid for. I was also able to decorate a town lot in Rift's End worth about 20,000 so far.

    Skeletons for the win!

    Hello, I just started playing the game myself and came across this thread.

    I'm trying to use the butchers station to use the pig and sheep carcasses but I only have venison as an option for butchery. Where do I find new recipies from? I can't skill up anything in my crafting points except for my gathering professions

    You can buy the recipes from the crafting vendors in Owl's Head (behind the skills trainer) or you can experiment with placing different items onto the station to learn recipes for yourself. There's the wiki too, but I know a lot of people like finding them in game or on their own.

    You can also "guess" a recipe if you have one that might be similar. You have the venison recipe, you say? Well then. Try it the same way but with a pig or sheep instead. ;) Never know what you might discover.

    Also rag3 all the recipes are not in the game. There will be so many more, not much of cooking is in yet. Release 21 coming out soon should show that crafting has been given more attention. Welcome to Shroud of the Avatar. I am majoria in the game if I can help you anytime please let me know either here by PM or in game by whispering to majoria. To access the friends type 'f' outside of the chat window and add friend, then right click added friend to see options to whisper etc. To return to local chat type /l. Also you can right click another players avatar to see options. To see the emotes in the game that you can do type 'o' outside of chat. If you have a home you can at this time zone to it by clicking the 'u' key to zone to lot. Combat is the 'z' key. So Just a few commands in case you need. Have fun.:)

    howdy and welcome....

    IMHO this is the best way to start out...

    opening scene grab the broken sword handle and letter from dead bodies. (loot all the dead bodies take your time look around)
    talk to the goofy guy just on the other side of the bridge (quest giver)
    take boat ride to soltown
    talk to the guard as u just get off that completes your first quest now ask him for a quest (help)
    walk over to the refuge camp there is 3 quest to get there. find a child, find and iron blade, and (remember the sword u grabbed and letter)
    then walk over to the npc part of the town.
    as you enter the npc town talk to the town crier (quest giver)
    as entering there is a guy with a bow talk to him (Quest giver)
    walk down the street u will see this release hat quest giver u will want to grab him
    apx across the street from the hat quest giver should be a bar enter it
    in the back left corner there is a quest giver

    you can complete these quest very easy some a but tougher than others but all starter lvl quests. i did mine in apx an hour but im familiar with the area but i was more interested at the time bsing with my friends

    end result. apx 1500 to 2100 gold more than enough to buy a nice plate set from a npc vendor. (gives early gamers surviabilty)
    LVL 19 or so adv.

    there i would head back to solace bridge head over to owls head
    kill sheep, chickens, pigs, and deer.

    theres a pack of deer behind the moongate. a pack of sheep after you cross the bridge, keep following that road up (ie not turning down the crafters lane)
    there will be two more packs of sheep on the hill side leading up to upper owls head. plus a scattering of 1 or 2 sheep that i think are lost

    drop down the hill (behind firelotus bar and where u buy recipes) there are two pigs

    run through fire lotus bar in front is a pack of sheep

    run to the trainer and there is a pack of chickens there.

    do this several times over (you should be able to lvl or at least get a few lvls quickly

    NOW AT THIS POINT ITS PLAYER CHOICE

    assign your skills in prd. to what u want to do first. ie do want to spend time skinning animals cutting tree's mining or gathering cotton. dump you skill points into that skill start with only 1 skill and the one on second lvl on the right. gives u the best chance to harvest.

    i recommend mining. most mines u have a few bad mobs around but once cleared u can mine undisturbed.

    raw ore is still very valuable in to crafters don't get greedy and try to ask the moon for it but pretty much even still u probably could get the moon for ore

    edit: when killing farm animals in owls head i recommend single payer mode might give u better performance to move around owls head at times can get very very laggy

    There are also sewers under owls head with skeletons and ghosts. If you can survive a run through you can collect over 600 gold worth of stuff quickly. The entrance is under the bridge into owls head.

    Thanks so much for your replies, such a warm and welcoming community ! Really supports what my friends were saying about the community here. So good that you can discover recipies yourself, although I wish I found that out a bit sooner. I would be about 1000 gold richer! I figured I would make it back after a bunch of sheep.

    Will definitely check out the sewer.

    ps. off topic, but can i change my account name here to reflect my in game name?
    /edit, I found it in the main page account settings :)

    Thanx

    Where are you stuck? I always have to be pointed with the wife and tell her "give me the book" a couple of times, but eventually she will cough it up. You have to reassure her that giving up the book will bring her husband home from the bar, even though we both know it won't :D

    I always start with "give me the book", then she says she has it or something, and I ask for it again. Then she says something about if you think giving it will bring Morton home, and I say "yes", then she usually gives it to me.

    Edit: I just went and talked to her again, and it only took one try. I said "give me the book" and then she asked if I thought he would come home, and I said "yes", and she handed it over. So, I have a copy of the book now. If you can't get it to go, find me tomorrow and I'll give you this copy :D
