 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.

 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?

 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.
-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 is also a skill called Myconic I go into detail below which you get from picking up Mushrooms. If you go to the Sewers you can pick up tons of those mushrooms for easy money with Mushroom Jack and the whole time you will be getting skill in Myconic which you can use when it's around level 15 or so to both go to the Myconic Cave and be able to talk to the Mushrooms there.
+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...
