 While the [[serbule|Serbule]] section could have had Meditation, I figured I would list it here as Calligraphy really only comes from Sammie Grimspine who lives in Serbule Hills (well, except during the Full Moon, when she's suspiciously absent from the entire game).

 Crafters will also want to get Sigil Scripting to level 25 and then get Favor up with Preta, who teaches them how to inscribe Malachite runes with specific animal-related buffs for the gear they are crafting. In fact, once you get Sigil Scripting to level 25, you can go back to being an animal most of the time if you wanted to level the skill up further.
-==== Ranalon Infestation and Shamanic Infusion ====
-Many of the NPCs in the Serbule Hills are concerned about Ranalons in this area. There is one Ranalon here named Gershok who teaches Shamanic Infusion, which is a buffing ability for some of your items, similar to Blacksmithing which you may have learned from Tadion.
-Shamanic Infusion is a bit different from the buffs you get from other skills. In a lot of cases, many of the skills and buffs you get from Tailoring or Blacksmithing are going to be using items you create from either Surveying or Crafting. Shamanic Infusion tends to use other-wise junk resources solely obtained from killing. There is a little bit of crossover in that some of the resources in Alchemy cross over, but a good number of them don't, too. Many of the early skills in Shamanic Infusion provide only small to moderate buffs and require one unique item and maybe three not as unique items. Oftentimes, you can find the items to get Shamanic Infusion leveled up on vendors.
-Gershok is not the only Ranlon here, either. There are Ranlon Gardeners, Ranlon Stoneshapers, and Scray Guards here. The Ranlon Tongues and Scray Stingers and Lures are decent for gaining Favor with NPCs that like or love Trophy Items. NPCs like Way, Velkort, and Kelim, for example, that you'll want to have a decent level of Favor with for eventually selling to (Way and Velkort) or training from (Kelim).
 ==== Learning Goblinese ====

 If you pay for the game you will get to meet the non-hostile ones later on. Ragabir in the Casino should become an important friend by mid game and if you are a Necromancer you will want to become friends with Jumjab in Eltibule once you learn how to talk to him. Jumjab also will teach a great skill for leveling up random skills called Corpse Talking, though that's outside the scope of the demo. There are also rumors of a mostly-friendly group of Goblins hiding underground that will be necessary for training Brewing, Shield, and Sword.

 ==== Community, Civic Pride, and Combat Wisdom ====
 Three attributes that you'll want to be aware of that might come into play during the demo (especially by the time you get to Serbule Hills) are Community, Civic Pride, and Combat Wisdom. They have little to do with each other, but they start to matter as you get to the point where you expand into new regions and areas where players are sparse.

 ==Community==
 Community is more like an attribute than a skill. The more you play by yourself with no other players around, the more likely you are to start seeing your Community attribute suffer, which, in turn, very slightly lowers the amount of experience you get. You don't have to interact with other players, but you may want to head to town on occasion to reset this. As a human player, you can get some earrings that increase your Community. I do not know if there is a tail ring (Rakasha) or navel ring (Elf) equivalent. Later on you won't need Community as much as you might need free Max Health or the ability to carry more Yellow Crystals, but for now it is a nice racial buff to have on earrings that you otherwise might not use.

 ==== Moving On ====
-If you've been clicking through this guide chronologically, you're near the end! I'd recommend heading to the [[serbulehillsdungeons|Serbule Hills Dungeons]] section of this guide or going back to the [[serbule|Serbule]] section to learn about other early-game skills.
