 For those of you who don't want to read the whole guide, I've tried to put the most important things down that were completely "I wish I would have known this sooner" items below: For those of you who don't want to read the whole guide, I've tried to put the most important things down that were completely "I wish I would have known this sooner" items below:
   - You can right-click and select [[anagogeisland#more_info_is_the_best_ability_in_the_game|"More Info"]] on almost every item in the game. This gives you information about how or if the item is used in crafting or for gifting to a special NPC which is very important to know when you have inventory issues early on and absolutely imperative later on when you are grinding Favor with certain NPCs. Remember the PG adage for determining if you should keep an item: **Craft -> Favor -> Barter -> Sell**.   - You can right-click and select [[anagogeisland#more_info_is_the_best_ability_in_the_game|"More Info"]] on almost every item in the game.

-  - The people/locations in Serbule that provide you with inventory space at higher and higher Favor levels are: Joeh, Marna, Tadion, Ivyrn's Chest, & Charles Thompson. In Serbule Hills, you get inventory with Baroness Marith Felgard, Julius Patton, Sammie Grimspine, & Tyler Green at higher favor levels. At the Casino it is: Kib the Unkillable, Otis, Qatik, Ragabir, Tavilak, Mandibles, & Willem Fangblade. Nearby in Rahu it is: Ashk the Answerer, Ichin the Ice Master, Daniel Murderdark, and Nishika. There are others that have space as well, but given that the demo is in the first two areas and the combo of Rahu/Casino gives the biggest space in the game, I feel it's necessary to focus on these locations first. +  - The people/locations in Serbule that provide you with inventory space at higher and higher Favor levels are: Joeh, Marna, Tadion, Ivyn (specifically his Chest), & Charles Thompson.

-  - Once you have about 10k in councils saved up, ask for a high level Tailor to create you some Cargo Gear. Or join a guild and ask your guild's Tailors to make you some Cargo Gear for a small donation. This is essential gear to use till you have enough Favor with the NPCs listed above to provide storage space.+  - Once you have about 6-10k in councils saved up, ask for a high level Tailor to create you some Cargo Gear WITHOUT pockets. Or join a guild and ask your guild's Tailors to make you some Cargo Gear for a small donation. This is essential gear to use till you have enough Favor with the NPCs listed above to provide storage space. If you have another 6-10k to have them add pockets, offer 12-20k for a pocketed set. Most Tailors don't mind helping newbies, but the ones in your guild are going to be far more responsive and will likely even do it for free if they aren't inundated with requests.
   - You need to level up your Death skill by dying in unique ways early on in the game. Yes, you read that correctly. If you are one of the main races and not an animal or Fae, you need to die a lot early on to get your Death XP high enough to use a very powerful mechanic in the game. **Enter The Light** can be used to portal to Serbule or Rahu every 8 hours. I often recommend using it at the start and end of every gaming session to position yourself what you are doing that gaming session or for the next time you log in. When your skill in Death reaches level 10, you can use portals in the Death Zone to go straight to Serbule or Rahu once every 8 hours. Words of Power or drinking Fuel Oil can be used to give you instant deaths or to otherwise make going here easier. Regular Iocaine Powder (not Practice) kills you and is also fine to use. Both portals have a separate 8 hour cooldown. You can also buy a Gemstone Hammer and a few other useful items in the Death Zone if you need them.   - You need to level up your Death skill by dying in unique ways early on in the game.

   - There is a secret entrance to the Casino that you can get to by jumping on the rocks to the right of the Casino back door in Eltibule. You are expected to find this on your own, but it's pretty important to know about this employee entrance early on. By combat level 30 you should be regularly using it and starting to get Favor with many of the Casino NPCs.   - There is a secret entrance to the Casino that you can get to by jumping on the rocks to the right of the Casino back door in Eltibule.

   - High level gear from events (like Kraken appearances in Serbule) is actually mostly pretty worthless, don't take up too much early-game precious NPC inventory thinking that you need to keep it all.   - High level gear from events (like Kraken appearances in Serbule) is actually mostly pretty worthless, don't take up too much early-game precious NPC inventory thinking that you need to keep it all.
   - Don't focus on min/maxing your gear right away. You will level faster than it is worth the materials to spend. (UE Note: In my experience, crafting anything under level 40 for other players isn't worth it unless you are leveling the crafting skills)   - Don't focus on min/maxing your gear right away.

-  - Transmutation is still recommended early on if possible to learn (NE section of Ilmari Desert has the hut and NPC, Makara, where you will learn it. Save Rare (Blue/Cyan) or better gear to gain favor with her.+  - Transmutation is still recommended early on if possible to learn (NE section of Ilmari Desert has the hut and NPC, Makara, where you will learn it. Save Rare (Blue/Cyan) or better gear to gain favor with her. (UE Note: You can visit either Anagoge Island or the Serbule Crypts to stock up on this gear to take to Makara. You don't need to do any of this till level 30-40ish though, once you are fully equipped and have a Cargo Gear set and are fully vested in your two combat skills and know and understand the game a bit more)
   - Endurance has +1 inventory skill gains. If you can safely take a fight, let the mobs hit you a bit to increase this causally. Otherwise you might have to do a few sessions where you let bears hit you in Eltibule, Gazluk Mountains, or the Fae Realm to "catch up" your Endurance to where it really should be.   - Endurance has +1 inventory skill gains.

-  - Cooking Sausage and Bacon early on are great money makers. Bacon is even a great early heal ability if you have the Metabolism.+  - Cooking Sausage and Bacon early on are great money makers if you immediately sell them to Fainor after making them.

   - At level 10 in Death you get a very important skill, be sure to die to lots of different mobs whenever you enter a new area.   - At level 10 in Death you get a very important skill, be sure to die to lots of different mobs whenever you enter a new area.
   - Faction focus early game is in getting Joeh and Marna to Soulmates, save up your equipment and skin tons of hides solely for the purpose of gaining favor with these two. When your weekly reset happens you will be so, so, so much happier than if you just tried to sell such things to them instead of using them to gain favor.   - Faction focus early game is in getting Joeh and Marna to Soulmates, save up your equipment and skin tons of hides solely for the purpose of gaining favor with these two.

Light candles after 7pm and snuff lit candles out after 5am. +  - Civic Pride is underrated if you just go by the wiki stats alone. Light candles after 7pm and snuff lit candles out after 5am. You can do this in Serbule and Hogan's outpost most nights/mornings for easy XP.

-  - There is a Poetry Jam at 2pm EDT, 1pm CDT, 12pm MDT, and 11am PDT every Saturday. Avoid using AoE spells and, if possible, get rid of your Ursula curse for the sake of the others participating. You will want to drink alcohol from the kegs that are set up 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.+  - There is a Poetry Jam at 2pm EDT, 1pm CDT, 12pm MDT, and 11am PDT every Saturday.

   - Kib the Unkillable in the Casino only holds "Equipment and Ammunition" but that seems to includes things like empty bottles and skulls and bones, so you can have a bit of your Gardening overflow from Tavilak stored on him.   - Kib the Unkillable in the Casino only holds "Equipment and Ammunition" but that seems to includes things like empty bottles and skulls and bones, so you can have a bit of your Gardening overflow from Tavilak stored on him.

   - You can type "/who near" in any zone to get a list of other players in the same zone at any time. You can also type "/who all" and "/guild who" to see who else is online really quickly. There's also more info in the Social tab on the right side of the screen.

   - You can "Vendor Lock" inventory folders. If you don't know what these are, don't worry yet. You'll get one after you get a few more skills unlocked or to certain levels. I would highly recommend using these and having at least one for equipment that is "locked" so you can't accidentally sell stuff you know you want to hold onto to a vendor.   - You can "Vendor Lock" inventory folders.
