[Updated Nov 12th 2015] Tears of Destiny's General Guide For New Players

[isatis]

Click on Skip the fun for details, but be warned that you are only allowed one STF character at a time, and it has a 7 week cooldown before you are allowed to make another. It is important to realize that once a character is made into an STF it can not be respeced, and is an STF until deleted. Remember that characters created using the “skip the fun” feature will not be able to use the market place even if it is set as your main character.

hi tears, your guide is awesome!! but you have made one mistake!! (ok maybe more but I just founded one...)

the STF cooldown is 7 days/1 week not 7 weeks!

Hope you'll finish it soon!

Thank you!

I don't want to make a new thread for such a simple(and maybe a little bit stupid) question, so I'll just post it here. (if it's wrong, then tell me, and I'll move)
Some weapons in one handed section have "second mode". It means, that I can use them as two-handed, right? If yes, then I'll use them "well" if I have high 2h proficiency, right? I know it might be a stupid question, but I want to be 100% sure.
I'm making an archer character with 2h as secondary weapon, and I'm a little bit disappointed with mace. It's not bad weapon, but have small range, what sometimes is a bit annoying. so I though, that I might switch to "military sickle" or "fighting axe" and use it's secondary mode. (because they use 1 slot)
What do you think about it?

[Rhaelys]

You are correct. The Military Sickle, Fighting Axe, Langes Messer, and Mace are the most popular 1-slot two-hand-style melee weapons for archers and crossbowmen.

[Askorti]

OK, another rather simple(I think) question. what does it mean, that a weapon take "0 slots"? And how can I use them with 4 other things?
As for now, I'm a bit disappointed with my archer character, so I though, that I might to try play as a peltast (light thrower). That 0 slots thing came to my attention, when I was looking at amount of ammo in thrown weapon. Can I take 4 bags of javelins and some knife(which take 0 slots) to that too?

[Fluffy_Muffin]

Maybe you could add some builds in your class section, i can help with 2h/pole, shielder, thrower, shielder/thrower builds

[Panoply]

Hey Tears, maybe you can... I don't know... FINISH YOUR DAMN GUIDE! Ya lazy bum.

Also I highly recommend cannibalizing this thread: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,9160.0.html

Of course, with Marathon's permission. Or at the very least, linking to it.

Your character has four boxes and four slots.
Every item on the right side used for weapons/ladders/etcuses exactly one box. However, items also take up 0-3 slots as well.
My archer for example uses a warbow (1 box 2 slots), and two arrows (each 1 slot one box). This leaves me with a box left but no slots, so I can use a 0 slot hammer for example to fill the remaining box.
For the other responses:
I shall look into it and consider help!
I should really finish this guide, there is only a wee tiny bit left to do anyways, heh.

Also, I had no idea you were into stuff like that Panoply, we should hang out. <3

[Stirling_Mortlocke]

I can't seem to figure out how to select your role. Could you guide me?

[Tears of Destiny]

Hmm, I may need to update the guide for that. I think it is now on your character stat page on the very bottom, try there to set your Main.

[Stirling_Mortlocke]

I have set my main already, but my role is still undefined. Perhaps I need to level more.
