Save it, and then retire one more time, with 2 loompoints you can get a +3 armour nowadays.

No worries buddy, also a small tip, since you are new, focus playing on DTV with cheap gear , DTV is by far the most rewarding mode of the mod, gold & xp alike!

No, its better to get that extra generation early on and this way you can also play another build or optimize the one you played before.

Also I would recommend +3 light/medium gloves for first +3. You will use them with every class you play and aren't limiting yourself to one body armour or one weapon. They are the most expensive looms though, so maybe body armour first. gloves and body armour give you +10 armour for no extra weight

Since you're new you should stay away from DTV, because you won't learn anything from it. Skill is way more important than looms, gold or gens.

Well, grinding, let say 50 hours of bots won't really improve him. Ofc, getting shot in the face 3sec after spawning on eu_1 isn't much better :lol:   
I personally dislike DTV, so I'm doing my best to turn new players away from it aswell :D

Duels won't help make you more successful in battle mode or siege.
You can suck at melee duels but top the scoreboard in battle mode either way and you can do it with any class (even 1H/2H/polearm infantry).

What's this about DTV causing you to not l2p?

I only ever learned how to murder people whilst avoiding being murdered using the powers of parry by playing DTV, therefore I declare this thread and all of its participants

Learning to play from DTV is a bad idea.
You will certainly learn but will probably learn all the wrong things.

Out of all the servers I play on, I play on the DTV server the most. I do fine in siege and battle.


Altho that's probably because I spend a lot of time on duel with judas_joker...

I learned from DTV when I was new and it taught me some things, probably the hardest thing is realizing that they're bots and they repeat the same thing over and over again while players can be random. So yes play DTV but also play modes like siege and battle; balance it out.  Although DTV did teach me chamber timing.

To have a good start when new in game, go native battle and siege servers first. After that you're fine with any ranged spam because you enjoyed archers in native already. And actually you will also notice that archers are fine in native and got nerfed a lot in crpg and you won't cry about them at all.

Anyway, dtv is a good way to get xp in the beginning, and if you hate dying, it's also not the worst way to do it. Otherwise you won't learn much, battle or siege is much better there. First you got to reach some nice level anyway, which is 20-25 so anything makes sense after all.

Do some retirements if you plan to play this mod for a longer time. Extra xp is always nice and Loompoints, if not for looming, you will still get some good amount of gold for them so you will never mind repair costs again (unless you play plate only and use a horse :P).
