Darkfall - Accelerated Character Development Guide - P4

http://www.playdarkfall.com/

Darkfall is a sandbox game and as such there is no right or wrong way to play. There are many options and routes to take in character development. This guide is essentially how I'd play if I were starting from scratch again with the knowledge I currently have. It also contains some beginner tips and tutorials.

After having watched your series, it's easy to see how VERY much work AV has done on the game since release. I'm really impressed. If I was better at PvP...heh...I think I would be compelled to get the game right away. Probably for me, Fallen Earth is a better fit. But I have to say....DFO looks MUCH better now than it used to, from previous videos. Wow. So happy that the game is out there as a viable option for PvPers. Cheers!

holy crap how darkfall has changed. i dont even think i have 30 hours into my new character and it already has 50 mastery, 90 sharpshooter, archmage, reagent conservation, and almost 100 quickness. course though i basically restarted with nothing i knew what mobs to grind off of so i gess thats why it went so quick.... my first character got his first melee mastery maybe 7 months into the game. trying to fend vets off with that and 50 fireball was such a bitch.

i stopped playing DF a year ago, but for accelerated development, theres a hidden mechanic in the game for fresh characters to raise your stats better than grinding 1 weapon to 100 mastery. that secret mechanic was to raise every weapon you have to a basic 50 skill.  doing so increases your str and vit faster than grinding your one weapon to 100 to buy the mastery and then raising your mastery. in short, this is just a new char tip. old chars wont see much of a gain as new chars would.

@Im4everevil (1 year later reply) your true about having a grind in any and every game. but when you need to grind up certain spells and abilities to make them more effective in battles, it barely reaches that level in fps games where all your grinding up is your statistic of kill, death, or whatever ratio. certain fps games have deeper grinds such as playing better as a "repair man" or "medic" but that still barely touches the level of grinding in darkfall.

its even easier to grind now that it was then. i had to start a new character and i got 25 gs 25 archery 60 lesser and 20ish greater magic in a short period. one evening but i was going all out hardcore and im a vet with prior experience

Good watching, but u take a MAJOR detour everytime u wanna bank.. And there is a similar quest just to the left of the troll spawn, and a bank!

When you switch to your staff, your spell you want to use is automatically activated. Atm i'm switching to my staff then clicking on the spell I want to use to activate it, how do you do it automatically from the unsheathing of your staff? - excuse the noobness
