Soul Point Guide/tutorial(

From the experience of meeting a lot of new players, most have an issue with soul points, or the lack of knowledge that A) they exist or B) what they do. This results in them normally dying a lot and losing their items, in which they do not know why. It is vital that a soul point guide/tutorial (ingame) is implemented to inform new players of this system.

There sorely needs a guide/tutorial for soul points either in Kings Recruit or somewhere in Ragni/Emerald trail. If something as optional as professions is being forced upon every new player’s throats (which is debatable if that even needs to happen) then something such vital as soul points should be tutorialed on.

General ideas to implement a soul point guide (obv open to suggestion):

-Have an npc (think a board or a villager) that tells you the importance of soul points and what they do. (add some cheeky dialogue to better fit into the game’s style)

-more ideas are welcome

Extra thoughts:
- I don’t think the website explaining SP is enough. Most new players don’t really go check the website, especially if they don’t even know what is causing their lost of items. (would have to look around to see which system is taking their items) They just want to join and play the game. This is why it needs to be implemented in game.

- A full on tutorial area in Ragni is not what I want. New players should not be bombarded with a plethora of info at the start. They just need to know the important basics, and one of those is soul points.

 

Maybe in the actual tutorial during the cavern because you can die from the mobs there. Like a good “yo watch out of those zombies, you could die.” And soul points explanation from dying could be added

 

It's kind of strange. Literally just mousing over the soul points tells you everything you need to know. I do agree though, if professions are in the tutorial so heavily soul points definitely should be.

 

Do the profession tutorials matter actually? I've had a friend start playing the game and he still had next to no understanding of professions well after the tutorial (lv40+). He had to continue asking me about it. One of the biggest misconceptions he had was thinking that they weren't optional.

Yeah just hating on the tutorial a bit because it is annoying to experienced players and unhelpful to new ones. I'm on the fence with soul points but it's worth adding.

 

Right but some players don't check it out al before dying a couple of times. It's better to inform all, as the tutorial I propose isn't really mandatory but still stands out for new players to see. I don't see any harm to explaining to players about soul points, instead of assuming they already checked their hotbar.

 

I agree, the tutorial at the moment is a bit overbeaing and could be a lot simpler, soul points is something we often overlook, I suppose the reason they were not in the tutorial originally was because you had to lose ALL of them to lose any items, so by the time you've died that much you are quite likely to realise they exist.

But this is not the case anymore, so I am all in favour of them being in the tutorial, good suggestion!
