This guide gives you information about what skills you need to raise to be able to do certain jobs if you want to pass ALL quests.

FAQ
Q: I don't think the skills you tell me to raise suit me
A: This guide only gives you what I think are the easiest to raise skills for quests to complete them quickly. You absolutely don't have to follow it word-for-word

Level 1:

- You already have 1 Attribute Point in your Strength, and that will allow you to pick tobacco leaves
- Henry makes you raise your Vigor +1, and that is enough to be able to pick sugar cane and pick cotton
- Keep the rest of your points safe and read on


Level 2:

-Putting up posters requires no skills at all
-Selling the newspaper is our first problem. You have two best options to be able to do it:
Option 1 is to raise your Horseback riding skills, that will also let you do Breaking in Horses job later on.
Option 2 is to give 4 Attribute points to Charisma and add one more skill point on top of that. Charismatic skills will be required a lot for further quests


Level 3:


- You already have the 1 point of toughness to tend pigs and pick cotton
- Put the Gray Cap that Henry gave to you in Lvl 1 to harvest fields
- Once again, no skills needed to put up posters


Level 5:

- You should have no trouble picking sugar, picking tobacco, and scaring birds
- The easiest way to pick beans is to raise your charisma points
- To hunt turkey you can either raise your mobility points, or , if you are planning to be a dueler, get a good mix of Reflex and Shooting on top of that
- To pick berries, put on your 'tough' hat :)


Level 8:

- To repair fences, you can either put a lot of points into your dexterity, or your animal instinct, or repairing. It would be preferable it to be Animal Instinct though, because it is required for future quests
- I assume you can get a donkey from a town that sells them :p
- To pick corn, just raise your charisma
- To be a cowboy, you can either raise your horseback riding, or mobility, or charisma
- To brand cattle, you can either put points into Animal instinct or Mobility
- To install a barbed-wire fence, you should just put points into Dexterity


Level 11:

- Now you really should have no problems tending sheep. You just need your 'tough' hat and 1-2 points to either charisma or animal instinct
- To tan deer skin... bleh... there are pretty much useless points all over the place, just raise any that fit...
- To guard fort, you need points in your charisma or leadership or, if you are a dueler type of guy, raise your reflex and shooting


Level 14:

- To get your toughness to 9, put on your 'tough' hat and the red poncho you already got and voila, you have it already
- And I already explained to you how to tan deer skin :p
- To stream fish, just make sure you have 1 mobility point or 1 swimming point
- You can either buy the blue headband, or do trading, since that lets you find all kinds of items. To trade, you need a lot of points in trading and appearance


Overall points so far to lvl 14:

Top 3 Attribute:
1) Charisma
2) Mobility
3) Dexterity

Top 3 Skill:
1) Animal Instinct
2) Horseback Riding
3) Appearance

This guide is not finished, because I am lazy =D
PM me for anything you think I should add or change, or if you want to continue this boring work for me :p

wow, im doing all these quest out of order. I certainly couldn't afford a donkey at level 8 (although I had the flag). Because I didn't have a donkey i couldn't install a fence, be a cowboy, or brand cattle. Yet I have have already tanned deerskin a plently and shephered until I'm all shepheredered out. Am I missing something?

Great little guide btw.

Wish I had read it when I was level one :)

If you really want a faster exp curve and faster money curve than anyone else

Just put every single point into dexterity and setting traps, and completely ignore the quests.

They're a waste of time.

At the earliest levels, yes, do some of the quests. SOME of them.

But running around like a chicken with your head chopped off trying to get a union flag is a total absolute waste. Build for better jobs, not for the quests.

Agree with MadAlice in the last statement.. Why waste time doing Guarding Fort if you can do better jobs.
 

DeletedUser

If you dont getthe falg with the first 10 tries, don't bother to try more. You realy don't need that, can do without it. The setting traps tactic seems to work pretty well I see, most of top players use that.

Agreed that trying to do most quests will just result in a crappy character who can only do lower jobs, tho setting traps is not the only skill, yes if you want to be the number 1 rank player you probably HAVE to be pure setting traps but being pure in other skills work well to get you different things like high luck or high money

As im checking the Skill Rank in 4 worlds, it seems many players are pure Setting Traps, Horseback Riding, Construction (Workers), Trading.. Some are Vigor i think.
 

DeletedUser

yea you actually can
you delete you character for that world, than make another one:D
or you can invest in the shaman later on:dry:
 

DeletedUser

no, im pretty sure you can keep the same account, but delete the char and then make a new one on an open world
 

DeletedUser

Heh. So I'm doing this completely wrong. I'm saving up skill points and attribute points until I get a quest that requires me to do a job I can't do yet :p Well, at least that hasn't happened in quite a few levels, so I have a bunch not used yet.
 

DeletedUser

Question is which is more important to you a really high ranking or having some fun?
I'm enjoying the quests, ok some of them I won't be able to do until way later than the minimum level because I am semi-specialising but a few decent items will take care of most of them.
