I suggest you start searching ig and on the forums for guilds. (Coughs loudly, not suggestively pointing to any certian knighthood her or her characters would be apart of). Save the selling of things to ig or in the trade forum. And different items then what you already have can be obtained ig depending on what you need. Oh, and another tip. Make sure any post you make as a letter upon a "wall" Aka rp associated forum, is signed. Else no one knows who wrote it.

Firstly, I hope you use punctuation ingame.

Secondly: Ask around ingame if there are shopkeepers which sell x item, and you'll probably get help.

If you wish to join the Farmer's Union, send a private message to the leader. There is no army, noone is at war, there are only a knighthood and town guard who maintain order. Craft with your logs and branches, or sell them with the trading forum. They won't go for much, that is hardly any. I would hardly call 13 a lot of raw meat, and this is coming from a complete anti-powergamer, I would call around 150 meat a lot. You'll make barely any money from that, you may as well cook it yourself. If you want the other equipment, again, on the trading board say you will buy it, or ask someone else ingame if they sell it or know of any shopkeepers who do.

Do NOT make a new character and trade items over. It is highly against the rules, and you can't even have 2 characters interact with each other or ingame at the same time anyway.

Have fun, and please try to roleplay instead of spending all your time powergaming farming etc. etc.

I'll give you a piece of advise: If you're not here for the roleplay, you may as well not be here at all; there are a lot more free games which are built around crafting/fighting/magic etc. systems which are much better systems incidentally, and therefore coming to a roleplay-based game looking to powergame would be a waste of your time, and you'd become disliked by some of the community. Including me.

Have fun.

Stop confuzzling him Alex. :p

When I have time, I'll be happy to show you around a bit, though, well, I can't see where you are and all, so you'll just have to get lucky there.

Though, asking absolutely everything ig can get a bit annoying, plus since the crafting system changed recently not all info could still be correct.

By all means, for your character to know things ask around ig a bit(Don't be too upset if some people ignore you completely, some are german and won't really understand you, and some don't want to be bothered.).


Just a tiny piece of advice from me.

And, as for your questions... I honestly wouldn't really know for most of them, look at the guildboard for guilds as Dantagon said.

Have fun at Illarion! May the RP be with you!

And if you REALLY want some help, add some (willing) person on an IM contact list (there are links at the bottom of each post where appropriate) and ask him (OUT OF CHARACTER) to help you.

Welcome, and enjoy.

Don't worry about being a newb, we're all new to a game at some stage, even if we powergame instinctively like Mr.Alex does ;)

You must have set your charachter with very little strength, if he is encumbered by that little meat - If you intend on your charachter being a butcher, or a merchant of some sort, or anyone that can carry their own weight then I reccomend you make a new charachter and think carefully about the stats you give him - If you look on this newbie forum here, there is a guide to stats and where to place them.

Good luck in Illarion, It gets alot easier as you go along, remember, it's about the roleplay, skill is secondary (Though nice to have of course) B)

How much wood were you carrying, must have been a fair bit of heavy wood to stop you moving that much.

That or you've found lead armour or something ridiculous like that.

This does not make any sense at all

Strenght is not a skill, its an attribute.

Added: Oh you don't have to carry all the stuff you have around, look for a depot (yellow chest), toss them in there; only you can access them.
