Guide Early Game Tips From A Level 40 Random Who Has No Idea What Happens At Level 50+

As someone who played the early game recently I realized it can be a bit confusing and there’s not many guides on how to do things. Here’s a few tips and such I’ve discovered over my (multiple) attempts to get a class past level 30!
1. Do every quest. If you do every quest that’s unlocked at each level and run each dungeon once after you unlock it you’ll be able to get to about level 40-42 without ever having to grind or do anything “boring”
2. UPGRADE YOUR GEAR. A good rule of thumb that I’ve come to use it replace commons the second you get a better common, you can use uniques for about 5-8 levels before they start to become weak, rares work for 10-12 levels, and legendaries work for 13-15 levels.
3. Always keep 6 health potions on you and replace them with at level potions every 10 levels (for example you sell all of your level 20 potions at level 30 and use the profits to purchase level 30 potions).
4. Never be afraid to health pot. Health pots are your best friend when doing quests/dungeons as you move into the later game. Don’t think that you can avoid the next hit from the boss and kill him, you’ll get hit and die and wish you used that health pot.
5. Don’t horse gamble!
6. Don’t overthink things. The puzzles are normally very easy and the official Content Team application even tells you to make sure that the puzzles are easy.
6. The wiki is your best friend. If you’re ever unsure about where to go next, or need a hand with a puzzle, the wiki has your back!
7. Don’t grind the gathering skills. They’re useless until level 100 and by that time you can buy all the good resources and speed through the gathering levels in no time!
8. Make friends with a mage player. You will thank me later.
9. Slayer posts are a great way to get that last bit of XP you need to reach the next level and unlock more quests, don’t write them off as a waste of time.

 

As @TrapinchO said on the other thread you posted this on, horse breeding can be a huge money sink, so be careful.
And uh, as I also said, I'm sure having a mage friend could be helpful, but I've always relied on potions.

 

inb4 ten replies saying "I don't have friends"

 

you need very good coordination for a mage ally to matter, vc at least
shaman's healing is way worse but it's also much more accessible to a random teammate

 

1. Yeah do every quest. Also make sure you don't die in some quests bc it can get bugged quite easily.
2. Accurate
3. Accurate (I do it every 5 levels but that's because I'm rich)
4. Accurate unless you're mage or shaman, in which case spam R-L-R. Also as mage heal spell before you health pot bc the heal spell removes the effect of the heal pot and you just waste the heal pot.
5. Don't do this horse gambling is bad
6. Red block puzzle in Eye of the Storm stares motherfuckerly
7. Frankly I don't use the wiki very much but yeah use it if you're stuck, ruins the experience imo
8. I recommend doing gathering at level 80+ and only no-life it at level 100. But if you're bored gathering isn't a bad idea, and it's good if you wanna actually build stuff for housing in 1.20
9. Yes do this I have no friends

 

Don't buy health pot, they're wayyy easier to find in common chests lying around anywhere. Also tier 3 and 4 chests can give stat potions which boost an element and a stat associated to it, very usefull for boss fights

 

Using a health pot that gives 150 hp when you have access to ones that give 300 hp is a bit of an issue. An additional 150 HP is the difference between you dying to a boss attack because you potted for 150HP at 64 HP and die to an unexpected meteor or flamethrower, compared to being able to survive the attack with 50-100 HP left. As for buying pots I don’t expect anyone to not have higher level pots as soon as they level up but newer players may need that additional health especially if they’re playing a class like assassin and don’t have their vanish combos down and forget to leave mana to escape, or if they play archer and get jumped by a pack of mobs while in a corner.

 

Pots are practically universal, about 75% of chests have them, so buying them isn't worth the hassle, just loot every chest you see.

 

did you even read what I wrote .-.

 

Yes. I was just explaining why buying pots could be beneficial and why I would suggest doing it. I probably should’ve put the second part before the first part but hindsight is 20/20

 

And I was just explaining buying pots is a waste of money when you can find them by walking 4 blocks, opening a chest and transfering a potion from the chest into your inventory. I also do not understand how do you think selling 6 pots for 1 emerald each is worth buying 6 new pots that are, most likely, worth more than 1 emerald at the potion merchants. In the end, buying potion is not a good idea, finding them into loot chest is way better for your money and not any harder, nor time consuming.

 

That's a great description. Just wanted to say that.

On the topic of the rest of the thread, it's hard to disagree with any of these, except to point out that other people are indeed right and horse gambling is a terrible addiction and if you or someone you know has a problem, please, get the help that you or they need. That being said, throwing out 24 eb for a chance at a faster horse isn't the worst idea in the world, so maybe do it once, but honestly, it's probably not worth it. Especially the potions one; even as an experienced player, I frequently go out without any potions on a low level character, and then get surprised when my 5/4 lifesteal doesn't somehow magically save me.

 

When you started playing Wynn did you know what a loot chest was? I want you to go outside of Ragni and sit near the loot chest that spawns right in the middle of the road, and count how many people walk past it. This guide is for new players, not people who’ve played the game a few times and know what’s going on.

 

The concept of loot chests are very straightforward, even more now that the tutorial explains them. While new players may skip the 1st chest because they're too focused on the dozens of mobs on emerald trail (which, btw, also drop potions) by Detlas they will have found the many chests of Nivla Forest that are hard to miss

 

When doing quests, always have Youtube or wiki at the ready. I've found that a lot of quests aren't very intuitive.
Bosses aren't difficult, so don't sweat it. Anxiety will kill you faster than the mobs do.

Don't worry about builds, optimizing your play style isn't necessary for lower levels. You will quickly out level your gear anyways, so don't worry about it.
Don't be afraid to ask players for help, especially on bosses that you can't kill.

 

Morph is poggers all the way until level 87. It is absolutely poggers. Double Topaz makes your damage, HP, and skill points above a normal player at your level. (but at lvl 100 morph is a smh my head moment.)

 

No!
Level 100 Morph is better than 87 morph!
That is not a shaking my head my head moment...
Morph is better than many builds (keep in mind I have no Ornate Shadow Set), and is really cheap and easy!

 

1. level 87 morph is worse than lvl 100 morph. i never said it was better.
2. level 12-81 morph is great at level, because you can wear two morph topazes. you cant do that at lvl 100 though because wearing 1 topaz 1 emerald is the equivalent and thus the double topaz loses value.
3. morph is better than many builds. but many builds are better than morph. a standard endgame build (no mythic, no hive master, no LI) is easily better than morph.
4. burh some people sell morph topaz for 32 eb+...
5. ornate shadow isnt actually that good, its just a slap. also, ornate shadow is not a set. wearing more than one piece will cause you to have -999 in each stat

 

1. Sorry, you said that 87 is good and 100 is shaking my head my head? I thought that you meant to say 87 is worse than 100.
2. Why can't you wear 2 topazes at 100? Double Emerald is actually quite good and I would reccomend it.
3. If this is so, please link a no mythic, no hive master, no Li build (for Shaman it's my only end-game class) that is better than Morph, for let's say completion of Legendary Island.
4. Oh yeah, it may be sold for much but is pretty easy to get.
5. I was saying that any builds I found had Ornate Shadow Garb and if I just slapped Hetusol, Morph was better. I would also assume that if you haven't done Li or Qira, you haven't done The Eye.

 

1. i meant before 87.
2. if you wear two morph topazes at level 12, you would have the set bonus equivalent of morph topaz + morph gold as you have two morph pieces. this makes morph good because you have two ring slots. one is meant for morph emerald, but if you do double morph topaz the game thinks you are wearing a morph topaz AND a morph emerald, even though you can do this at level 12 and morph emerald is level 87. however, once you get to level 87, double topaz doesnt make sense anymore as you can wear morph emerald anyways, thus you dont get a set bonus equivalent to that of roughly 12 levels above you.
3. https://wynndata.tk/s/6zvh94 vs https://wynndata.tk/s/3e1wyl. morph has a bit more health, but in terms of mana sustain and damage, non-morph wins.
4. true...
5. what ? why would you "just slap hetusol." also i guess you just havent seen a lot of builds that dont have ornate shadow.
