I just got this game a few weeks ago and I was wondering if any one had some tips for me. Send me a message at mscharles@charter.net or post something here.
Well it kinda depends on what you want to do. I think scouts an excellent beginning prof. It lets you get out and explore, and you get to make camps, which are cool to look at for a while. They also aid your regen and allow you some more options. Scouting XP is EZ too you just skin animals and when you get /maskscent you get XP for just being near them.
With my scout I've started taking down red animals using a combo of /maskscent, combined with /overchargeshots, /threatenshots, /healthshots,
/bodyshots, and pointblankarea1's. All these you get in no time.
Don't even worry about nothing I have found. This game the first week can be a mental overload. Just take a little bit at a time cause the learning is steep on this game IMO. Once you figure out that everything is customizable organization is the key. Like you always want to try to keep things in the same place, like your toolbar and whats on your toolbar. Its like working a line cook job, just gotta keep things in some order familiar to you and then it just starts to flow. No one can really say how to setup your toolbar it just depends on your style,. The important thing is to keep it all in some order where you know where to find it.
When you build your toolbar, unless your a pro typer which I'm not, take it a little at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself trying to build all 12 rows at once. Take like half a tooldbar and work from there. Then once your familair with that toolbar, you just keep building on to it. Mines a sorta everchanging thing. IMO, knowing your toolbar is the key to making fast decisions which although an RPG, the battles can get crazy but if know what to do next, you just dish out death.
Certain commands I just manually type like /stand. But things like /pointblankarea1 I typo almost everytime. I started out using strings of macros, but now I've gone to a typing/single hotkey comb. It seems to make you much more veritile cause you just build your combo right there. But macros are a great and effective way to learn.
I would say get some unarmed skills and some ranged skills. If you have your wepon on your toolbar you just click to unequip it and go at it with your fists. I finally found I stand a much better chance of survival as my lizard dodges swords MUCH more than he does with a pistol. And those swords can really mess your day up.

when i started I was a scout and nothing else, and wasted a lot of general crafting exp and pistol exp by not having the respective skills.. then I switched servers to play with my friends and started again as a scout. Immediately I went on some delivery missions, made a couple hundred credits, and bought Novice Medic, Novice artisan, Novice marksman, novice brawler and novice entertainer.. each gives you certain skills to start with, you can make stimpacks to heal yourself for example and build surveying devices and harvesters to collect resources to sell to buy armor or better weapons (make sure to harvest from your kills too to sell also)
You can play with different types of weapons and skills for a while to see what type of combat (if any) you like best and if crafting or healing other people or dancing for spare change is your cup of tea. You have enough skill points so you can get fairly into each profession you like until you decide what path to go on and theres no shortage of people grinding holocrons who are in massive need of apprenticeship experience and will be happy to teach you your other skills for free or even pay you to do it. (I know from my experience mastering 12 professions that the apprenticeship exp after the first few was the hardest because theres so many other people teaching things its hard to find students, but teachers are in heavy supply). Once you raise up in a profession you like and need skill points drop some of the novice professions you never use.
Just find things in the game you like to do, weither that be killing things non-stop or travelling or helping other people or making things or playing a horn and develop those skills. Most professions take less than a couple weeks to master so if you change your mind you can always start a different one
