Your experience determines your experience level, which in turn determines your health, mana, and other characteristics of your character. With each level you gain, you earn five more lessons to spend, and at certain milestones, you gain bound credits that may be traded in for many different things (including more lessons). (See [[Level]] and [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=LEVELS HELP LEVELS]) One of the easiest ways to gain experience is to hunt denizens (also called "bashing"). Successfully slaying a denizen will earn you experience relative to that denizen's strength and level. Another way to earn experience is to complete various [[quests]]. | |||
== | ==Hunting== | ||
'''Hunting''', or '''bashing''', refers to the slaying of denizens. Every denizen has an experience value, depending on its level and strength, and you can estimate this level by using CONSIDER (i.e. ''CONSIDER IMP''). A full list of denizen strengths may be found in [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=CONSIDER HELP CONSIDER]. | |||
There is a very useful guide to hunting in Achaea located on the Achaean Forums, at [http://forums.achaea.com/index.php?showtopic=14196 this topic], which lists locations from newbiehood to level 60+. As a newbie, however, you will likely want to stay withing Minia, Lodi, and Mount Gheladan. | |||

There is a multitude of quests throughout the lands of Achaea. As a newbie, you may want to whet your teeth on the newbie quests in the newbie lands, many of which are listed in [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=NEWBIE_QUESTS HELP NEWBIE QUESTS]. Within this scroll, you will find tips and pointers on many (but not all!) of the available quests in the areas. There some quests not detailed that you will need to discover on your own: try greeting denizens around you, and examining the world around you more closely. Outside the newbie lands, quests may not be discussed by mandate of Divine law, and they become increasingly difficult to complete. Sometimes greeting the denizens is not enough; you may need to ask them about specific things or people you have noticed. | |||
In addition to these localized quests, honours quests may stretch across large areas of the land. Honours quests are often extremely difficult to solve and are far beyond the scope of this guide. When you complete an honours quest, an appropriate line is added to your HONOURS page (thus the name ''honours quests'') so others may view your impressive deeds. | |||
