Hey guys. I recently came upon something from my noob days and I just... Kinda miss those days (I still feel like a noob, but anyway... 😅). There was so much I didn't know and I was ill prepared for a lot of things, but it was much more fun than it is now. Was wondering if there's anything you can remember from those days?
Like right now, I'm getting super annoyed by the fact that my main weapon has a friggin Sharpness I xtal, when back then I would've been much happier.
Kaiser used to be a boss I was scared of. I was stuck in the Gold Fragment mq for so long ;-; oh, and the Bead Fragment one as well
I'm usually trying to make some spina or rushing mq on my alts for levels nowadays, but when I was noob I was more focused on making friends (I forgot them after half a year... Sorry friends) and just exploring maps. I wish I could do that now without getting depressed about why I never have enough spina to buy any boss al xtal on any of my characters.
I've been looking for guilds lately but I don't want to enter a serious guild (like, those guilds that just farms 24/7... Too intense for me atm). So I end up joining a laid-back one but I found that such guilds are usually empty, or there are like 2 or 3 people that would talk to each other, but not to you. So it's either an active and intense guild or an almost dead guild, but either way there's no one to talk to. It kinda gets me sad. I end up remembering about my old guild where I was one of the 2 or 3. It was fun, but the timezones are a tad too different and I usually find myself alone.
Well, that didn't end well. Share yours?

1)I was very happy when I purchase my first equipment with my own hard-earned money from raid. And that was only a Mage Garb. For 100k spina.
2)I asked my friend for add that match my Mage Garb. Then he thinks that Sorciere would be cool on me. So, I go to Dark Manor to kill Spiders. I often died there but kept trying. One day he saw me farming alone and ask what r u doing? And I said I'm looking for Sorciere. And then he gives me Sorciere right away from his storage cause he was leveling his prod or something idk maybe he just felt pity on me. Thanks man lol.
3)My first huge step on income started when I got barotas gerust and Hulam nemes moldus (after 2 playing maybe haha. Cause I'm busy with school and there was 1 year break). I farmed Mezzaluna every single day and my target was one xtal a day. Idk why I wasn't using tix that time but I always got 1 each day and sold it for 70m each. Though I spent lots of my night time I became sleep-depraved. Very unhealthy.

Yeah, when I was a noob Kaiser seemed so strong. I used to think he was impossible to beat. Once I remember I was looking for someone to help me kill him for the golden fragment around Rokoko plains, and a lv180-ish ninja offered his help (the cap was around 190-200 back then). He one-shot him and I was amazed. He was a god in my eyes. As you can guess my first class was ninja.
Another fond memory I have is of the time I was stuck at Finstern and an assassin helped me till I reached Elban. To this day the Finstern -> Elban road has something special for me.
One more memory that makes me smile is when I was doing mq with my HW and got stuck at Imseti. Eventually a few people gathered, all waiting for someone to help. Nobody was coming so at last we tried partying and fighting together. Nobody really believed we could defeat him but we gave it a try.
As Imseti drew his last breath, everyone was ecstatic. Against all odds, we had won. That was some very good teamwork.
One boss after another hit the ground, we were no match for them. Alone we were weak and easily defeated, together we were a force to be reckoned with. I remember the chats, we were comparing ourselves with some superhero team.
Sadly, the mighty Raton ended our victory streak and our team fell apart.
Once a kind player gave me a sauro stick. I thought it was amazing, even though I was a melee character. Sadly, shortly after, the rollback happened and I lost that weapon.
My first guild was really active and the gm actually had set rules for the minimum amount of levels you had to achieve in a period of time. I didn't really like the strictness and was later kicked out for inactivity.
My second guild was more chill and more fun. When the gm said she wanted to leave (idk why) she made me gm, and I've been leading it ever since.
The majority of players left though, over time.
But I was lucky one day a few years ago to meet one former member I used to talk to before. Invited him back to the guild and now it's basically just the two of us and our chars. You could say the guild is kinda dead, but we don't really mind. Having someone to exchange a few words with every week or so is nice.
I think exploring and interacting with others makes the game more fun than just doing business and killing stuff repeatedly, which is why in the beginning it can seem more fun since you're just exploring and making friends.

Hm I would say when I was a very small player, I remember a gift of 3m being a huge amount. I remember never being invited to any guild so I decided to make my own. A lot of stuff happened as Mayhem grew. I'm a pretty guild-centric person who likes having that list of guild members as the community. I remember making an alt and being surprised that there were more than 4 hairstyles and that the tutorial became unskippable with lv 15 as the start. I wore the halloween garb (the first one) for quite a long time before I got any other avatars, and I remember being excited when I got some nice books from the daily log in stamp. I needed help on every single MQ, got stuck on Fallen Angel Grecia for 6 months and nearly stopped playing because it just wasn't feasible to pass it alone. I eventually realized I can kill the crystal and grecia separately, and managed to get a pet egg from halloween event.
A lot of stuff in the middle of my Iruna time happened too. Scams, guild thieves, plenty of betrayals and drama, good friends quitting, you name it xD But I think the community that I have now with Pasta is very kind and helpful, and keeps away the negativity and loneliness. It was sort of what I was looking for the entire time, I was just not building the first guild the right way, and I wasn't treasuring the right people. But we all learn some as time goes on, so I'm still glad and grateful for all of my noob experiences, no matter how much money I may have lost or frustration that I had to suffer through.

This is so on point. I should try to reach out more to people, I guess, but I'm not very good at it as I tend to be really awkward ;-; |

Highlights from my nub days:
-Ending up as a Wizard with 20 points in each stat because i figured "Balancing it all is probably better, Right?"
-Failing to kill a single Skeleton in Forgotten Cave until Lv 50 as my friends watched, quite amused by it.
-Spending about 8 hours in the first 2 maps of the game because i legitimately didnt realize there was more until someone showed me.
-MQ as a nub HW. Lots. and lots. of Dying. My first GM had pity on me and invited me to farm Barbad (Emido at the time was the best armor you could have) and spending about 2000 runs trying to get me a Jet Black Feather, both of us giving up, and him just buying me one/his friend helping me with the other mats, along with helping me through the palace MQs. To this day the only rare Barbad has ever given me is a Blue Al '-'
even if a lot of it was a struggle, and i often felt helplessly weak as a HW brand new to the game, can honestly say i never had moments where i didn't want to play. Glad i chose HW as a first class as well, knowing the struggle that MQ can be as a nub pushed me to get much stronger, as well as help nubs whenever possible.
side note: If anyone ever needs help with MQ, make a group chat titled "H)-Boss name-" lol... you have better odds than not of someone if not myself helping
This concludes Undyne's unnecessarily long post.

-When b staffs were 15k a stk. Farmed so much so I could afford a seahorse bangle for 100k Q-Q
-And also my first guild (name was something like "Killer bunnies" or something) I was stuck at blaiard and my gm helped me. She was a nail assassin (Ninjas weren't that famous back then) and I was so happy about that. I was like "you don't even get hit owo","So strong".
-Damascus armor was the most OP armor for me back then. I was unstoppable xD(until I got to Vatendeth Q~Q)
-Someone offered to farm me pieny wings xD
-When raid came out, I played like crazy and got myself an sion cappel,ultimi(boss colon) aulis gale(schlingel). I was raiding like 15+ hours a day for weeks
- When raton first came out, I was like looking for party and someone ptd me. We were four ppl( me a monk, a pally, a hw, and I guess sin). When we entered, I was just healing pally and sin. Then hw told me to attack. Then I ask them who would be healer. Then they said they a monk in video solo raton (that one with testament xD) And so I attacked, and we got wiped out. They kicked me off the party.I just thought fck it and tried to solo raton with pet. And I won xD . Been soloing raton on mq since then

- My nub days were like... I was mage and had str and had to delete at lvl 30. My first guild boosted me at medusa. Then I didn't feel comfortable lvling by sitting with strangers. @@ Eventually I had a permanent PT to do MQ together (my first friend and my RL bf. They both quit at lvl 70ish). And we were same levels and we made a guild! I used chain mail, seahorse bangle, then iron armor.
- The first time I stepped on Rokoko i was like.. WHOA! Every new map I go to fills me with awe and wonder. @@
I never felt stuck on MQ because my first friend taught me to grind as a low lvl and use mq if don't gain exp anymore. I learned that habit so I can solo most of my MQ until it came to a point that I save MQ to overcap on my main. ALTHO, I do use MQ for lvls on my ALTS. but Im too lazy to walk so I never finished any MQ on my alts @@. Usually do it with friends or beg Sakuro to help me. LOL!

I remember when the quest awaiting the goddess was the main way to grind characters.
I remember how completely overwhelmed I was by this game even way back then.
I don't know how to really word this but the game felt more "alive" back then.
I remember my very 1st guild "seven deadly sins" lead by gm crystalq. That guilds been gone for years now literally all of them quit and it wasn't a low level guild. I still think about some of them time to time when I'm playing they were the ones who truly taught me the game. Makes me happy my long time iruna family is still around.
Long live "Devil's advocate"!
I remember when Raton was the holy hell were all Goa die boss lol.
I remember how excited I was to get my first "good for back then" xstal mezzaluna.
My main character rahovart my hwiz was my very first character I made which was like in 2014 or 2015. He's a in-game grandpa by most standards.

I really liked to mini heal dead people around rokoko. That's why I made a healer mage in the first place, I never thought I'd actually reach 120 to become app bishop. I didn't plan for high level gameplay or my role in a boss farm, it didn't matter to me at all, I just wanted to be able to heal everyone  (later resu spamming becoming a standard crushed my dreams) Also, it took me about two years of casual playing to realize that xtals are not just fancy luxury and I should start using them to stop being weak. |

i know it's an old post but i thought i'd still share  although i quit for many years and restarted my char recently so i feel like a noob all over again lol. okay but years ago when i first started, probably the thing i miss the most was how actively friendly people were then. i'm not saying people aren't friendly now, but compared to last time when i would get random mails from people i didn't know, nowadays i don't see that happening. which is why i like to randomly mail people and compliment their look or ask about their class to get a convo going. also, my older friends seemed more keen to just hang around the low-level areas like rokoko plains or even rokoko mining village even when they were well over level 100. these days, everyone seems so busy but i guess it's because there's more reason to grind or farm with all the new updates. another thing i really miss was my first guild. i can't remember the name sadly, but i know the gm had 'wolf'in his name. he was a paladin and i found him so cool xD. he was like my not-idol but idol. ahh i miss the guild. people there were so friendly and talked to me randomly even when i didn't know them. (it's my fault i don't know how to contact them now because i just deleted my character one day without saying anything, something i feel bad about till today) but recently i tried joining a friend's guild but i chickened out and left because i realised i felt super awkward plus they didn't give the same friendly vibes my first guild did. that's all i can remember now  |
