 I do want to note, however, that if you have paid for the full game, playing as an animal character (even as your primary character) is definitely viable. Animals have a lot of animal-specific combat and survival skills even, and can be very enjoyable to play. A good portion of the playerbase even chooses to play as animals most of the time. A significant portion of that group maybe even NEVER plays as a human. It's entirely optional, but keep in mind you still may want to have a Human character around as an alt (also sometimes called a "mule") to trade with NPCs in Serbule for the early game. I do want to note, however, that if you have paid for the full game, playing as an animal character (even as your primary character) is definitely viable.

 Getting back to what to do in Serbule itself, I would recommend that if you are fresh from newbie island that you use your Bow, Sword, or Unarmed on a few of the mobs in the area and get your first bar of skills filled out while checking the "Do Favor" tabs on some of the NPCs in town and doing what simple quests you can. Once you've filled out a full bar with skills, consider if you are playing the way you would prefer to. Do you see yourself doing these skills (and possibly some others similar to them) for hours and hours or do you want to go for something else? Getting back to what to do in Serbule itself, I would recommend that if you are fresh from newbie island that you use your Bow, Sword, or Unarmed on a few of the mobs in the area and get your first bar of skills filled out while checking the "Do Favor" tabs on some of the NPCs in town and doing what simple quests you can.

 You will learn more about Mycology and Foraging as you gain more skill in using them. They are both good easy skills to level up early. Do not forget about the [[anagogeisland#more_info_is_the_best_ability_in_the_game|"More Info" option]] when you right-click the things you pick up. I will keep referencing this command in this guide because it is so valuable. You will learn more about Mycology and Foraging as you gain more skill in using them.

-Mycology is a really easy skill to increase quickly once you have a few hundred or thousand councils if you look at Mushroom Jack's "Buy Used" tab and keep an eye out for mushrooms. If you get lots of mushrooms from there, you can easily buy Salt to spam the "Flakes" recipes and get the skills maxed out quickly.+Mycology is a really easy skill to increase quickly once you have a few hundred or thousand councils if you look at Mushroom Jack's "Buy Used" tab and keep an eye out for mushrooms. If you get lots of mushrooms from there, you can easily buy Salt to spam the "Flakes" recipes and get the skills maxed out quickly. There are a lot of early easy mushrooms (Parasols) to pick up in the Serbule Sewers, and even a few in town!

 +As you go around learning more about and picking up the mushrooms in Serbule, you'll start to have Myconic visions. If you followed Mushroom Jack's conversations with you when you first meet him, you'll notice you're reliving several of the same experiences he had. Eventually you might get enough skill in Myconic that it's time for you to touch a Large Mushroom in Northwest Serbule and see if it will take you somewhere you've never been before. Perhaps somewhere you can get even more Alchemy components...

 It is also around this time that you'll want to get your tools or get whichever of these you do not yet have from the newbie island.

 So I've mentioned it a few times, but never really talked about Alchemy. Alchemy is going to be a very important skill for making inks and buffs. In fact, early traversal of dungeons is best done running SOME form of Alchemy buff, even if it's just buying a Ruggedizer off of Charles Thompson or a Pick-Me-Up Juice you made right before heading into Serbule Crypt. Many Alchemy recipes have both a positive and a negative to them. Sometimes, like with the Ruggedizer, there is a chance you will be hit with a negative penalty.  So I've mentioned it a few times, but never really talked about Alchemy.

 In the [[serbuledungeons#serbulecrypt|Serbule Crypt]], there's a pathway that will be introducing you to random paintings or pieces of Art. These paintings have a value that can only be properly assessed by someone with a high enough Art Appreciation skill. They also sell very well to Sir Coth in Serbule. In the [[serbuledungeons#serbulecrypt|Serbule Crypt]], there's a pathway that will be introducing you to random paintings or pieces of Art.

-There is a Poetry Jam at the Serbule Inn at 2pm EDT, 1pm CDT, 12pm MDT, and 11am PDT every Saturday. You will want to drink alcohol from the Brewing kegs that are set up in the back of the inn and pay attention to how your dancing skills switch around on your skill bar as you follow the dancing directions. You can get some massive buffs from this event that will last a long time. These Poetry Jams on Saturdays also give you Poetry Appreciation. Similar to Art Appreciation, this is necessary for the Synergy Levels it gives you to other skills. Plus the entire inn of players gets buffs both during and after the Jam, so be sure to stick around for the whole thing. You will see some massive crafting buffs if you stay for the whole thing. Indie P did a video showcasing some of the crazy stuff happening during one of these poetry jams [[in a video on Youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTMbldm-47Y]]. Even if you don't have a Poetry Book, someone will bring one for you to borrow/use. If you do attend one of these Jams, be sure not to do any music or dancing after the Jam to prevent players from getting lower quality buffs when getting the crafting/combat buffs after the Jam ends. +There is a Poetry Jam at the Serbule Inn at 2pm EDT, 1pm CDT, 12pm MDT, and 11am PDT every Saturday.

 There's also usually an "Egg Run" after each Poetry Jam, but as a demo player you will not be able to participate in that. It's for high level players usually anyway. I'd recommend not even bothering to go unless you are level 60+ in your combat skills and typically you'll want to be 70+ to survive. It's also kind of hard to get to as a solo, so be sure you are going with a large group if you do go and consider bringing a potion to increase "Max Breath" if you have one to chug right before you go in the portal. There's also usually an "Egg Run" after each Poetry Jam, but as a demo player you will not be able to participate in that.
