First of all it is great to see so many new characters around Arkaz. What a great group of RPers I have met here over the past few months.
I thought I would do a small posting so everyone new starts out on even ground. As I am not sure if you are new to an RP world or came from another CoPaP or non CoPaP world I wanted to offer a few suggestions about Arkaz.
I am sure people have found the quests-o-matic feature here to help gain those difficult first levels.
I am sure you have noticed this world is an extremely low magic and even lower magic item world so that plus 1 item you may have ignored elsewhere is truly nice here.
Spawns or crafting to level can be done but the number of spawns on monsters or craftable items is low, so relying on them to level will take a long time.
That leaves us with cookies and events to gain the XP to advance the character. Events here are open to anyone who wants to take part. There are no guilds here presently although that may change in the future.
As for the events, there is some hack and slash in each one but also the research aspect to gain clues to advance the event along. Research here is done by posting, either direct or emoted. If you post that way then, send the DM a PM on doing the research along with your characters applicable statistics. That could be wisdom, intelligence, lore, spell crafting or what ever seems to apply to the situation, if it is wrong or incomplete the DM has always sent me back a request for additional information. These stats are important so that the DM can provide you with the proper amount of information based on your abilities. I have even been asked for dexterity on one piece of research so any and all abilities can be important. Also let them know your speculations on what you have found out IG.
Journals are also a nice way to keep the team informed as to events on the island and give ideas for future events or your characters direction.
I was asked ICly by a new character who was perusing a specific PrC if Sonja knew where she could receive the training. ICly she knew after she had received a little additional information from the character and was told ICly who could train them. All PrC's here are DM open only, although the PrC wand does work here too. Personally I recommend the DM to open the PrC as the associated quests are a lot more fun and personalized to your character.
