Warriors are very good, if you know what you're doing they make excellent tanks, they also make excellent DPS (specially once they're properly geared) and they have a truly monster debuff. You can solo even-level BAMs with ease too. The downside is that (for now) they can't queue as tanks and so many are bad that they have somewhat of a bad reputation, but that's fixable over time.

I'm currently leveling a warrior alt when I'm not running instances with the lancer.

A few things that weren't readily apparent to me on my first run:

1. If you can find any money, buy the good bandages in the specialty store. Also buy the good crystals in the specialty store.
2. For leveling, it's hard to go wrong with the mp regen and hp regen crystals. Just fill up with them.
3. Try to make friends with a lancer or five while you're leveling up. Trust me on this. You are going to need them to get groups easily at 60.
4. Alchemy is a must-have tradeskill. It's retard easy to get up, and you basically get huge quantities of almost-free HP potions *and* you should also be making scrolls for dungeon runs. Scroll of savagery / scroll of carving are amazing. If you gather stuff as you run around, this stuff is nearly free, and leveling it is basically automatic as you can just click go on a huge batch and go afk for a few minutes. DO IT.
5. Do you have a fancy gaming mouse? If not, leave your computer right now and go buy something...I don't care what, but you need lots of buttons on your mouse. I'm personally using a Razer Naga. Specially for the warrior, since you need to activate many different skills at the same time as you're aggressively moving around.
6. Definitely enchant stuff while leveling if it makes sense, but don't worry too much about it and don't spend the money on getting anything past +6 until you're 60, it's just not worth it.

Glad to hear you're liking it. I as well can't imagine myself playing any other style of MMO any longer, this is just too much fun. I'm reeeally hoping that the bad reviews / delay in launching battlegrounds don't kill the game, as if it dies I am going to have to learn Korean...

Sorry, double posted

I don't know where to enchant things, how to enchant things, or where to start alchemy. I've been gathering everything in sight since I started but I just have a huge collection of crap that I don't know what to do with right now.

What level are you? You should have gotten a quest when you reached Velika that showed you how to do a craft (weaponsmithing in both of the classes I've played). The alchemy system is just like it and is done in one of the other buildings in the crafts area. Just play with it, it's pretty obvious how to do stuff in it.

As for enchanting, you'll get a quest that explains it at 25 but you can do it at any level. You need an enchantable item first, then you combine it in the enchant menu (press T) with another item of the same slot and tier, and alkahest (bought at vendor). If you fail, there are no consequences to the main item but you lose your other item and alkahest. If you succeed, you also lose the stuff but get a +1 to the item (which increases its base stats and every +3 you get an additional effect).

I'm level 22 currently.

Cool, which character are you focusing on? I got the warrior to almost 37 now, things go sooooo much faster the second time around once you have a good system and a few gold to spend on gear.

BTW, if it's warrior you're focusing on, just wait until you hit 28. Traverse Cut and Blade Draw are unbelievable.

If you guys are serious about dragon fall and plan to stick around I guess I could start a chat there once I finish leveling the warrior (probably anothe warrior). How is the server population? And any chance I can get a loan of, say, 1k gold :)

Dragonfall is the highest pop pve server. Unfortunately, I don't even have 1k gold. =/

You know, I just took a new lancer to 14 and fuck releveling. If and when they implement PVP-to-PVE transfers (it's in the works), if you guys are still very active I'll move a character over. Will have 60 warrior and lancer by then.

Actually...what classes do you need? Perhaps something will be interesting enough for me to give it a shot. Hopefully something fast leveling. :)

Another lancer wouldn't hurt. No one has a slayer main for some reason either.

Sorry, no way I am leveling another lancer. Feel free to lobby for this to get implemented (in the works but no ETA) and I'll bring mine over:

I'll play a Slayer for now I guess. Sounds interesting and it should level fast enough. I will seriously split my time with VOT though, at least until my warrior is 60, so I probably won't level up too fast. Be warned: I might pester you guys every now and then to carry me through BAMs or a storyline instance. :) Don't worry, I only do that when there's a lot of BAM quest density in one area and whatnot.

What are your char names btw?

My archer is Arica.

Added you. Man, slayers are crappy in the early levels. I know they get pretty insane DPS later on so leveling becomes fast but ATM they're far inferior to a warrior.

Ok, once you hit the late teens and start getting some gear slayers go nuts. I just pull everything and AOE it. This is pretty fun. 22 so far.

Sooo what time are you guys usually on? I've been up until past midnight EST the last couple days and haven't seen you.

Ive been busy juggling work while raiding in wow with hoss tues-thurs 6:30-9:30 server and usually log for the night after. Fri-Monday is mostly work and Tera for me.

Cool, thanks for the guild invite last night. Are your mains all in the 50s? I didn't see anybody at 60 last night but wasn't sure if they were alts or what. If 50s, and you have any questions about the level 60 content when you get there, feel free to ask. I might be able to save you from a few wipes and/or bad ways to spend your gold (I'm warning you now: you will hit 60 with several thousand gold and lose it all pretty much immediately then be poor for a while).

I'm not in a huge hurry to hit the level cap on the slayer, as I need to finish leveling my warrior in VOT too, but hopefully in a few weeks I'll be 60 too.
