Here are various pieces of advice handed down from Dentin for new players:

Do's:

- Try to always level your cheapest class.  If there's a tie pick the
  one that you like more.

- If you can, keep about a dozen practices in reserve.  You never know
  when you'll need a new spell, skill, or stat point in something.

- Use the 'advice' command to make sure you've got the basics covered.

- Below level 10, you should be on the island of Sloe.

- Between levels 11 and 19, you should be on the island of Kordan.

- Between levels 20 and 28, you should be on the island of Archais.

Don'ts:

- If you're a warrior or melee fighter, don't focus on protective armor.
  Your job as a fighter is usually to make things dead, not act as a punching
  bag.  Focus on equipment with hitroll, damroll, and attacks first.

- Don't spend all your practices trying to raise your stats.  Stats without
  spells or skills won't help you much.

- Don't level only one class and ignore the others.  If you do,
  your character will be weak, pitiful, and difficult to play.

- Don't spend all your practices on spells and skills.  Stats are needed
  to cast spells and use your skills effectively.

- Don't level all your classes to the same level. If you do, it will take
  you two years of grinding just to get your sixth class to level 1.

- Don't try to go to Ralnoth.  Do not listen to players who tell you
  to go to Ralnoth.  Stay on the islands until you hit at least level 27.
