Improve new user experience Idea

1) Make 30 con a minimum stat for new players or Speed up con drastically, It can be done at any level however its not a fun task and may daunt new players.

2) Depending on the type of char they have selected, for example if they add 3points to Dex automatically give the user an untradeable weapon (Speed A) for example a training bow speed A at 6000dura.

3)Add some repeatable quests for barr for lower levels (250k per quest)

4) Add Mid Level quests say level 50,60 and 70 - 50 will give you 1 3% eva item,60 the same etc until you have a full 3% set of evasion, This is untradeable but upgradeable.


These are just some ideas to help new players

I dont have a human, and the reason for that is that I won't level a char up to basically use it as tank in order to level a "super char on 50+ rates to get best possible stats)and that's without spending a few 100 hours afking con and 100 int

With out the bonus stats I just dont see the point of leveling a human up, nm the issue with needing a sr each hunt

So dsoma it is :)

Just want to say that yeah the new player experience is horrible. My idea would be:

Some more guidance on the stat allocation screen at the beginning.

You enter the game. You are immediately given a dialogue on whether you want to continue with the tutorial or skip it altogether.

You permanently have the trace arrow pointing you to the tutorial quest giver and any further instructions there on:

How to:

Accept quests, kill monsters, craft etc. (Short and sweet).

At the end of the tutorial you are then given the option to respec back to lvl 1 and reselect your stats as you now have a better understanding of the game. The trace arrow is removed.

There should be a quest line that rewards you with the next tier weapon all the way up based on the standard hunting monsters. I believe this is in although wildly out of sync with the monsters you should be hunting with said tier weapon and armour.

E.g.

Kill 10 tiger (reward fire bow, light leather armour)
Kill 20 Kobold (reward thunder bow, Heavy leather armour)
Kill 100 Scale Rap (Reward silver bow, scale armour)

Blah blah blah

A noob eva set would really help new players.
I think a lot of new players do get frustrated and quit when they realise they can't hunt any decent mobs cus they need eva.
It should be like hero boots x~x% modified evasion thus non upgradeable
Even if its another dex armour tier maybe 75 dex and craftable, doesn't need to be a quest or untradable imo cus its only gonna be used by new players.

It might even be the case of lowering the 50+ bonus rates down so new players that dont have a 2nd/3rd char can level on the bonus rates (maybe to the point of making the bonus rates the standard and be done with it)

Let's be honest, it may only add up to a couple of stats, but that couple makes all the difference at endgame

This is exactly the reason why I cant be bothered to level something else up. Con isn't an issue really, its optional and you can leave it until your level 119.
