Just started my UOO journey and followed this guide. A few takeaways:
- I'm not completely sure if leaving Shelter Island asap is the most wise thing to do. I spent my whole time as young in Newbie Dungeon and when time was up I had made 20k in cash and some more in real assets (including a level 2 t-map, arcane scrolls, aspect cores, seeds, ~15 magic items). All while enjoying a really smooth sail. Most skills were at 70 as well. The Shelter Island town is fantastic too, everything you need cramped into a few screens. The npcs will only interact with young players.
- Don't keep grinding forever on mongbats and zombies, move to the rear end of level 1 and fight ettins, cave bears and trolls when your skills allow for it. There is also a single drake spawn not to miss.
- Loot the afk macroing tamer kills - which you can find in the rear end of level 1. If you see a tamer spamming "all guard me" and a huge heap of corpses around him you've scored a jackpot. Just stand in the heap of corpses and use the skinning knife on yourself to skin/open all grey corpses. You'll likely find 3 or 4 afk tamers, loot all their corpses and then go kill some monsters on your own. Repeat the tamer looting every 10-15 minutes.
- At the later stages of the young period I didn't bother looting the meat off corpses, the hides is where the gold is. Save yourself the time and hassle. On the other hand I might be the guy doing it wrong by looting manually...
- It literally takes 10 minutes to get music/peace above 50 with active play in newbie dungeon. I saved my training credit tickets for later.
