Remember to use the Alt key and the Control key to see names of mobs (red), npcs (green), and ground objects (yellow). Oh, and non-aggressive mobs (also green, but turn red if attacked via area spell). The control key shows only the bad guys, and you can see their names as long as they are in your mini-map area, meaning you can see through hills to see just how many charr are in that blob of red!
Also while holding down either Control or Alt, you can target something, though be careful when you do this because you will automatically start moving towards the target as long as there is an obvious path available. Of course this is useful when you are looking for a merchant or storage agent. You can interrupt your movement by moving manually.
The ""u"" key opens a mini version of the full map, which you can resize to be as large as you want. It is just like the main map (opened by hitting ""m"") so it has your walking trail as red dots, and the quest target marked if it's within the visible map area. It's very useful when you are trying to retrace your steps, and it doesn't stop you from moving like viewing the main map.
You CAN run away from mobs, in most circumstances (this doesn't always seem to be the case, but heck you might as well try when you can). Most of them well give up on chasing you after a short distance. I don't recommend doing this as a habit in post-searing, where mobs crawl up out of the ground and ambush you as you run by. There are no death penalties in pre-searing Ascalon (hurrah!) but don't get too cocky since you start getting them in the post-searing world.
Item colors are in this order from least to greatest rarity: white, blue, purple, gold. You probably won't see any purple or gold items in pre-searing Ascalon.
I recommend keeping an identification kit and a salvaging kit in your inventory once you can afford them. However I don't recommend salvaging items unless they say they are ""highly salvageable,"" or unless absolutely necessary to clear out your inventory.
Get the belt pouch as soon as possible, via collecting the appropriate item (skale fins or worn belts). This will give you 5 extra slots of inventory space. You'll notice there are 2 bag slots in your inventory screen - but you won't be able to purchase them until the post-searing stage.
Quest Hints
This is not a walkthrough by any means - we won't be going over every single quest in pre-searing, mostly because the quests are not that difficult to figure out! However here are some tips for a few quests:
Gwen
She's just a little girl looking for a new hero to admire. I don't think anyone has figured out her full purpose, but you can give her the following items (in this order):
Gwen's broken flute (found by the river skale isle across the river just SE) - She'll ask you for this one initially.
Flute (available at any merchant)
Small Girl's Cape (available at any merchant)
5 Red Iris Flowers (ground spawn)
After all that she gives you a Tapestry Shred - that's the last step I know about. If you have her follow you, she will heal you every now and then for 20 HP. I don't know what you do with the shred though. mp3 players I've found Gwen's broken flute again in post-searing, and no clue what to do with it. Perhaps we will see her again later on. I'll update this guide if I find out anything!
UPDATE: It appears that at least for monks, the broken flute doesn't appear. world of warcraft gold Gwen is part of the starting quest for monks. However you can still give her 5 flowers and she will give you the tapestry shred. I'm going to look into whether she gives you the tapestry independently of the other items, for a class other than monk. wow Also, I will have to look into the fact that sometimes the merchants charge for the flute and cape -- 4 gold for the flute and 200 gold for the cape. However I have seen it on the merchants for 0 gold. These could be bugs that have been ""fixed"" or this may be just for monks. wow gold
Gift for Althea
Captain Osric (who is right outside of Ascalon, just west) asks you to find the most beautiful gift for Lady Althea. You might be frustrated when you find something beautiful and give it to him, and he thinks there's something more beautiful. Well the truth is, there are 3 beautiful items to find, in whatever order, and the last one you give him will do nicely. wow gold Go figure.
Beautiful Pearl (in a Beautiful Shell on the shore of the small lake by Miller Upton)
Beautiful Feather (on a hill in one of the farms by Ashford Abbey)
Beautiful Pendant (found on top of the path on the hilly area between Ascalon City and Ashford Abbey, SW of the city)
NOTE: This quest is only available if you have done the mesmer quest from Lady Althea to kill the rogue bull. She gives you mesmer spells, so you cannot have already picked a secondary profession, unless of course you are a mesmer already (or secondary mesmer). wow gold kaufen
Poor Tenant (at Miller Upton)
You use a honeycomb to lure bees across the bridge. This is probably the first quest you will see that has you transporting an object.
