excellent video for a game plan for phase 4

Looks awesome, the whole craft what you wear is very good advice, and the logging out in your Inn Room is so true!

I also watched his guide on Tank Stats and theorycrafting, and really enjoyed that video as well.  Thanks for the link!

Thanks for sharing Izzy :)

Thanks for the link...  since I will have very limited time during PH 4 (out of town guests coming) my big plan is to create character - get to the Inn Room - and log off.  I admit it isn't much of a plan - but it will probably be the most I can do during the time I have. ;)

Man, just hearing all that advice made me tired! I'll be happy if I get my main class up to 20.

@morgiana (and anyone else with minimum play time in phase 4)

In phase 3 you had to go through the Story quests to about level 8 to unlock the use of Inn Rooms.  A minimum time/effort way to get there was:

• Level 1 class quest to unlock the class hunting log
• Gather up Town 'kill' quests (FedEx ones are time consuming).  Grab every Aethernet point around town to speed up travel!
• Follow Story quest to 8, kill mobs as you go to knock off quests / log

The starting areas might be so packed with players that getting kills can be problematic.  Remember you can tag mobbed "owned" by others.  If you do at least 30% damage you get credit. 

If you can, continue the Story up to about level 10 to unlock Leves.  These are used for special quests that give a lot of XP, but you only get a few credits per day (6) to use them.  Between past beta phases the credits kept stacking up between betas, even though we couldn't log in. 

Ohhhh SNAP!   Well - since I know they are coming in Friday (confirmed yesterday) - maybe I can stay up late and not get much sleep - and play very, very, quietly - but that will be quite a feat.   We're suppose to be up about 6 a.m. to head to the zoo the next day.  Oh well - generating my character and selecting my name will be good enough.
