    3 weeks and no trek? If it's on Arispotle server, i've seen at least 5 or more organized treks for everyone to join. Also, my guild alone has trekked a fair bunch of newbies, both guilded and non guilded, and I myself trekked a newbie from Pyr to Zora, getting help from another player along the way.

    And you say your guild only allowed top members? Are you aware that top members already have most if not all neutral teleport tickets? I'd say you are either lieing or those weren't regular treks at all. Or your guild has a pretty weird trekking policy that seriously makes no sense.

    Travel 20 minutes to a dig site? I don't know where are you digging, but at least on desert and lakes, you have 2 digging sites with materials up to quality 200 that are right next to the teleports, so it takes like...1 minute tops. Also, drop the stuff you don't need for digging on your packers and go dig with focus gear and a pick only. You'll have at least room for 300+ materials and i doubt you can pull those in 15 minutes. Heck, i can pull 12-14 materials from a node with time bonus at my 165 level digging and it takes me way more than 15 minutes, if you're a newbie as you claim, i bet it'll take you way longer than that.

    While no one would complain about a bigger bag, travel time once you have teleports is not slow at all, and bag room is enough to keep you busy for a while before having to move and empty it.

  • Hi mate :)

    First and foremost, you should know that, even when you do some mistakes choosing what actions to buy, that'll slow you down a bit only, so no need to worry.

    That said, your biggest 'mistake' has been...staying at Silan, followed by buying material specializations at your low level since they're pretty expensive. I don't remember exactly what's the quality cap of the dug mats in Silan, 25 iirc, and if that's true, it means you've been getting very low xp from your dig, and that you've spent many hours to reach that level 40. Also, it's way easier to get focus gear at mainland, either on vendors or asking for it to be made.

    About material specialization, it would have been way faster and better to go to mainland and ask for a digger to show you material spots near the city you choose, that way you don't have to spend any points in material specs so early. Later on, with some more experience and points under your belt, you can pick the specs you think are needed, but even then you can check some reference sites to know approx. locations so they're not really a must.

    So yeah, digging becomes way better, but it seems you've been a bit misguided. No worries though, when you jump to mainland and follow those simple steps above, you'll be set in no time :)

    If you feel like receiving some basic lessons once there, feel free to contact me ingame, name's Setha and i always enjoy to help newbies around :)

    "The World", the game they are playing in Dot Hack is actually based heavily on the Phantasy Star Online games. Ridiculously so I would say. Granted there are differences here and there but like I said, it based on not a copy of. So if you want to experience what "The World" is like give PSO a run through.

     

    Heck yeah, i started playing .hack/G.U. Vol 1 Rebirth 2 weeks ago, completed it, and i kinda liked the mechanics of "The World". While waiting for Vol 2 to arrive, i did some research of similar mechanics and i ended up subscribing to Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus. Except some differences, the theme and how the areas are generated, the gameplay feels almost the same.
