Hmm, a problem is my low carrying capacity, but I like the idea! The self destruction perk is nice, too, perhaps together with "I glow in the dark", "mirror skin", some caltrops and damage rings... That would be a really nasty surprise for the next would-be newbie ganker.

Hey, I'm back from vacation! Now that I have some gold coins to start with, there are more oppurtunities for me, I can buy higher priced stuff, which normally give higher profit. Or so I hope! I did some bookruns for newbies for a little fee. The gc are not worth it, but it is fun. If they pay... I also got a proposal to help an anti-social player, she really was generous! After that I bought 100 picks, perhaps I can sell them for a little profit to other antis. I thought about Feasting Potions too, but they're really heavy and I can't carry much. I participated in some contests and even managed to win. Not much, but I like that purple bp cape. Goes nicely with my hat! Thanks to Usl and Organicsoul for not excluding alts from oa<30 contests. Perhaps i should buy some C2 rings, it takes a long time to get somewhere. Got killed by another HELP member! This time 'to show me, that it is really dangerous here'! Do you have a guild contest "most Elegie-kills" or something? Strangely most people hunt and kill me for my mm cape and then wonder, why I don't drop anything. I had a lot discussions about that. But perhaps I will get killed less after people realizing, that there's nothing they'll get. Or perhaps I should buy some damage rings or rings of power, that would be a nice surprise.

What's "tavern crawl"? I don't know where Joker can spawn, I don't think, that's worth it. Most people with anti have friends or guildies to rely on. I made some gc by buying books for newbies in dangerous areas like Naralik or Grubani Peninsula. Although sometimes it's not worth the trouble (and some people are a lot of the latter). On the other hand I met some nice people that way. Also I got some stuff in a contest by Thyr, thank you! I went to Tahraji Desert again, this time with the MM. I got killed several times, one even stated "to get that nice hat" (meaning my blue tricorn). My favourite kill was by someone from "HELP". Perhaps she's in the wrong guild, I'm offering to write a letter of recommendation, if she's ever going to apply for a hardcore PK guild! Had some strange conversations, too. A lot of people wondering what I do there. Others just bash me, but I keep on cuddling with fluffies! While browsing trade bots again I stumbled upon an offer I couldn't reject, but soon after the trade the bot owner pmed me, that he made a mistake and wanted to trade back. I did it of course, that would have been too easy. I also rejected the compensation he offered. I don't think, he'll make a mistake like that again. (We're talking a lot of money here!) Okay, back to being poor for me. I felt a little bit... disappointed while being rich, so all is well again! All in all I make progress, I got 10kgc and stuff for perhaps 5kgc in sto. Trading with players is slow, I need more money to start with. Oh well, I will eventually get my full titanium set! Or a robe and a staff of mage! Or a black dragon armor! *sigh* I won't be around for some time, but when I come back, I'll keep you updated. Thanks for all the players, who are encouraging me in my course!

Oh, didn't know that. Thanks for the info! If nothing works, I can still get human nexi through hydro bars! *g* Actually, no, I don't. Many people play alts, mine is just a little bit unusual. I play both chars at the same time and Elegie doesn't need much attention, since she's doing mostly nothing. Additional I don't care when she dies, as I stated before.

No, I don't need the starting XP. For the human nexi I would take a negative perk, there are several which wouldn't effect me at all. But then it doesn't really matter, 0 xp in every skill would just look nicer, that's all. I got killed in Tahraji Desert today by a mixer, who exploited the extremely lowered cooldowns there. (Mixing with fruits or veggies comes to mind...) I thought it was rather stupid, because if I were sitting there, I wouldn't want to draw attention. I didn't care of course, since I can't lose anything and just get teleported to IP, but he's really endangered there with no armor and rostos don't working. Trading is usually better than looking for animal remains, but I haven't got the funds to really dig into trading with other players and trading with bots is really slow, mainly due to my low emu.

Good idea! Did it and it was real fun running circles around fluffies and ogres. I managed to do the grand tour, but didn't found any HEs, just some BRs and some thread (?) near the dragon cave. Here some impressions: Cuddling with Fluffies (Alternative link) Jealous Ogre (Alternative link) (Hmm, had one encircled by two orcs and an ogre, but I don't know where I put it...) Haven't gotten a mm cape yet, but I'm on the right way! P.S.: Obviously I won't get any a/d xp, since I'm neither able to hit nor dodge any opponent attacking me. I won't reset, since it doesn't kill the a/d xp. Perhaps a mod can help me, it would really be great to have 0 a/d xp! Edit: I had some problems with the image hoster, added alternative links.

I do not plan on taking any perks or spending my pp on anything but human nexi, when I want to wear something, that I can't wear without. I hoped for OA 1, but that doesn't seem possible. Or is there a way I can lose the 1300 a/d XP every new char gets?

I tried #ignore_hint, #hint off, etc. it never occured to me, that #hint could be ignored like a player. But thanks, it worked just fine!

For those who are interested in my progress, I write about the first day. I picked up some of the bread bags on IP and ate, but then I figured, I don't need to eat anymore. I won't do any manufacturing, not cast spells, not harving anything and can get free healing from the tutorial npc all the time! But then you can't sell bread... I tried doing the tut quest to get a starting fund, but that was a bad idea. Picking flowers? Killing Rabbits? No way! After wandering aimlessly around I remembered the ants and went to DP. To my surprise the ant bags are much sought-after, I had to fight with several people for it most of the time. And they were not newbies (I could have understand that), but OA 60 or 70! After getting some flowers, vegetables and even a little bit thread, I turned it to a few gc. Now I had my starting fund! While checking the bots for selling my ant-stuff I noticed some discrepancies in the buy/sell prices of different bots. Normally it wouldn't be worthwhile, but now I started to buy raw meat for 4.5gc, selling for 5gc, same with SRs, bones, leather pants, attack pots, gold bars, etc. I can't carry much and the profit was very low, but at the end of the day I managed to buy an excavator cape! It is no use to me, of course, but perhaps I can sell it with a little profit. Every coin has gotten important. My next goal is getting my hands on a mm cape, I have to start trading with players. The neat thing about this is, I have a build-in rosto and never go to hell! I just restart on IP. But the #hints are getting on my nerves, I get spammed with orange help texts like every 10 seconds. Very annoying and no way of stopping it (at least for me). "#Hint: The hints will dissapear once your overall level becomes greater than 9" Yeah, great!

Hi! I had the idea to play without a single XP point! Just want to try whether it is possible and how far I can get. I created a new char and started by picking up some ant bags and tried a little trading, but the beginning is kind of hard. I can't even make the tut quest! But it is fun. Of course I don't bagjump (except ants) or do something like that and I take extra care not to violate rule 5! I don't trade with anyone I know even distantly with my main char! But it could be suspicious to be a lvl 9 char (you get 7 a/d levels automatically to start with) and having expensive stuff (okay, I'm far from that right now). Is there anything else I can do to dispel doubts? P.S.: Her name's Elegie, if you meet her, wave and wish good luck! Don't try to give her something for free, that would spoil the experience.
