Feel free to ask questions here. You can also find me and some others on IRC most of the time. Regarding your earlier questions about soloing/grouping as a cleric - you can solo as a cleric (there is even a guide on the wiki on doing so), but they are the worst of all the caster classes at soloing in terms of EXP per hour. All they do is nuke down a monster, preferably undead (better nukes against them), then sit for several minutes getting mana back. It is very inefficient. You can certainly group all the way to 60, especially as a cleric or enchanter. Clerics are a lot more straightforward. What I'd do is get to level 4 just bashing things, then go to Greater Faydark, get a bind there, and start grouping. First in Orc Hill, then in Crushbone. Don't be afraid to start your own groups. Have fun!

Thanks for the advice! I rolled a cleric, and I've been bashing things for a little while. I'm loving the game so far, I feel so lost in it with no maps! Sadly I have to go for a bit, but I'll be back on tonight. I'm going to have to use the Wiki to figure some stuff out. Mainly what a bind is and how to get it, and also where Orc Hill is, and these other areas.
Hope to see some of you on later!
