Useful info from a relatively recent change, all astral mobs are targetable with ASTRALBEAST, all mobs on elemental plains are similarly targetable, e.g. AIRBEAST for things on air and FIREBEAST for things on fire.
I was too embarrassed to ask on the public channels and tried SO MANY THINGS before figuring that out
I think some of the most memorable novicehood moments involve figuring things out for yourself. Even if it takes forever, even if you smell so bad the swamps around you pack up and leave. It's those things that you look upon so fondly when you're all "grown up". One of those for me, from another mud, involved almost starving to death, feeling the mounting urgency, because I could not figure out how to board the ferry that I was taught would take me to a place that served free food. The syntax was EMBARK.
Cherish those!

One of the very very first things I did in Lusternia was drown in Moon River . Because I didn't understand that I couldn't swim.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.

Personally, I think my most memorable newbie learning moment was when I didn't know how to get to the top of that snowy mountain for the sorel plant. After trying every word for climbing I could think of and failing, eventually I just did FLY, then LAND MOUNTAINS, and figured out how to get that damn sorel out of the ground really fast as I tumbled down. That bit of falling was also how I discovered the cave entrance on that same mountainside ("did I just roll past a cave? Time to fly up again and see if I can go in!") and therefore the Hhuhur. Who needs scaling when breaking your legs in desperation is just as effective? I did everything that required climbing or scaling that way for a very long time.
TIL that it's PLAY BLACKJACK and not SIT TABLE. I half-knew that, since I have played a little blackjack already since I came back, but I apparently didn't remember all the way.
sit table
You attempt to sit on a beautiful blackjack table, but you miss and land with a bump.
You lose purchase on a sparkling amethyst thunderbird.
I'm just imagining what this would actually look like and laughing at myself. At least now I won't forget again.
(Also, if you happen to be on the ground for reasons, and you try to stand on your hand, you'll first have to stand up before you can tell the dealer what you meant. Sigh.)

Deary me. Today I learned how utterly impossible and punishable hard the Cay quest is. I've been attempting it so much as of late that I've been losing sleep over it, hoping I could do it while no one online could ruin the quest. It's pressing on my patience, which, once upon a time, was an infinite resource ;_;
I'll just have to keep trying until Celest/Serenwilde/Hallifax tires out first, or I'm killed enough that I fall to level one. Either or.
alright, there are a few things you should know about the Cay- first off, you're definitely going to need to wait until Telperion's not on- he's developed just a biiiit of an obsession with it. Secondly, you're going to need a Gem of Cloaking; ask for a loan from one of your citymates. Thirdly, you don't actually need to do quite a bit of the work- the quest locks to whoever puts the talisman in the dais once its fully poisoned or blessed, and that doesn't need to be the same person who empowered the spheres or slew the starfish.
I'm Lucidian. If I don't get pedantic every so often, I might explode.

Oh god, was laughing so fricken hard at all this. So true.
Edit: Also yes, Telperion's obsession with Cay is slightly frightening...even we have gotten creeped out. I truly believe he has stayed up with cups of coffee during the last sea battle just to make sure no one takes it.
That is truly awesome. I heard about it going on, but sadly, was dealing with internal politics. I'll have to see about evening up the score next time.
More comics please. I'm still waiting on your amazing drawing of Salome. @Sedanas
The apple is cold, crisp, and sour as the juices fill your mouth. As you consume the fruit, you glimpse, for a moment, a massive, shadowy figure, Her snow-white hair framing a perfect, icy-eyed visage. Beneath you, a vast, perfect web of silken strands lies - and, for a moment, you realize that you too are part of it, weaver and strand both - and home.
TODAY I learned that there is a character limit to the room appearance of items, and I crossed it with my lovely little jakari.
I ALSO learned that Divine Review means the Charites are being asked to look it over, not that it needs to be sent to one of the Elder Gods for approval first.

It can mean either.

Today I learned that the reason I can never seem to save enough for another manse room is because I spend all my gold on indirect donations to my orgs almost as soon as I get it.
Eesh.

Today I learned that some people delete all their messages so I can't check MSGS CONVERSATION <you know who you are> to see what I've messaged them in the past.
