I just started playing yesterday, but so far I'm really hooked.* After trying about a dozen games in the past month, this one appeals to me a lot.
*So anyway, I decided I would try for the long haul.* Stick to one character, build up and try to see everything the game has to offer in the highest levels.
*But first, for now, I need to make sure I don't screw up this character.* So, I've avoided taking any production skills until I was certain which ones I wanted.* I could really use some advice.
My character is an archer, Str/Spr (may end up focusing on End gear or adding End later).* I don't plan to play alts anymore than necessary (if at all).* I'd like to get the most bang out of the production skills as I can in the uppermost levels.* Advantage in the lower levels can be sacrificed for that.* My hunch is that all of the trade skills have use, but I figure certain ones (potions for example) could easily be worked around with my character and build - to one extent or another.* So I'm leaning towards Stone Production, Scroll Production, and Material Composition.* But those are wild guesses, since I have no idea what the later levels are like.
*Those of you who played CB, do you have any advice?
*I'd also welcome advice about skills.* So far, I've 'opened' up the first two active skills but I haven't allocated any further skill points.* I figure those skills will probably be outclassed by later skills where my skill points are better off being spent.
