  • It's usually best to leave noob island at level 27+, but you aren't completely screwed.

    The best place for you to go is northeast of alderith. If you unclick the mines option from your map, you can see the level ranges for different zones.

    
    Make sure you buy a concoction potion from the alchemist for 10k. The buffs will nearly double your stats at your level.

    Most importantly though, you need to find a guild. A guild will give you access to r7 trainers (freehold trainers won't let you train all of your skills), and depending on where their cities are, you'll probably get access to zones which are only populated by neighboring guilds, so you will be ganked much less. You will also have access to better armor and gear for cheaper, and the entire Shadowbane experience will be easier.

    Solo play in Shadowbane is a very advanced playstyle, and only for experienced players.

  • Fucom has already admitted that their casters don't really bring anything new to the table as far as combat. There's spell weaving, but you don't use it all the time.

    I would recommend you play a melee class (Herald of Xotli and Barbarian are my favorite) to get a real feel for the new combat system.
    The melee isn't as fun as Mount and Blade, but it's 10x better than standard MMO combat. Try it out and you will see.

• • I am simply amazed the game is running this good. Funcom has done it.

  • This is absolutely true.

    I got a 2 second lag spike at one point, but past that it was a flawless 1-20 experience for me.

• • Thinking about starting..

  • Roll Thurin. Tons to kill.

    PvP is brutal and very few make it past the first few days. If you don't join a guild you will never make it.

    "Play to Crush" is the motto. Prepare to be crushed.

  • You need to go to the commander rune drop.

    A boss mob spawns every 3 hours at these locations, and the bosses drop the rune.

    Here's the location of the commander drop: http://www.mordkessel.com/wiki/mediawiki/index.php?title=Commander

    Truth be told though, the commander rune is fabled to be one of the hardest runes to get. You will want to take a group with you when you go to the drop.

    This website shows when the servers were last resetted, and givs a very good estimate around what time the runes will drop:
