EQN Landmark - Closed Beta

[Paetryn]

For those who will be in the Closed Beta.  The server we'll be on is Liberation.  They have posted a helpful hint:

Hey folks,

If you played Alpha, then the beginning steps after you enter the world have changed a bit. Just to avoid confusion, here's a few starting steps for you! (Also useful for you folks that are completely new to the game!)

IF YOU HAVE A FOUNDER'S PICK!
* Mine some copper and craft a pair of Keen Eye Bands (discovery stat ftw!)
* Go find some iron and the other resources you need to make a claim flag.
* Make that flag at the BASIC FORGE at the Hub. (The hub no longer has a Stone Forge.)
* Go stake your claim.
* Then go back to the hub, make a Stone Forge, and take it back to your claim so that you can make Iron Ingots and such. (Basic Forge only smelts copper and tin.)
* Build an Alchemy Station, then an Iron Pick, then a Silver Axe.
* Up to you at this point, but pro tip...consider an Outfitter's Station so you get access to better Discovery accessories.

IF YOU DO *NOT* HAVE A FOUNDER'S PICK!
* Start out by building a Copper Pick.
* Gather more copper and build a pair of Keen Eye Bands
* Build a Tin Axe (not strictly necessary, but nicer than the Stone Axe).
* Build a claim flag and plant your claim
* Refer to the post-claim steps in the list above!

ALSO! Be warned! You do NOT know the progression steps just because you played Alpha. You'll need to poke around and figure it out, just like you did at the start of Alpha. (Example, the next step after stone forge is NOT saw table.)

Enjoy!

I'll be setting up my claim on the island of Vale.

Thanks Paet!!!

Chompin at the bit here waiting for the servers to come back up.   I think the fumbling around was part of the fun.  See ya in game!!!

Lea gave me one of his beta keys so I am giving it a shot.  I am really enjoying it.  We are on the Liberation server but we are on the Isle of Coral.  Friend Segare if you'd like to chat   or come for a visit.

[Paetryn]

I've sent a friend's request to you.  You can also join a chat I've created /join ROH.  What is Lea using for his name?

[Faynwen-Magnes]

I'm so glad we connected last night. I gave Lea the info and he will be joining the chat next time he logs in, if he hasn't already.

I'm really impressed with what the game has to offer in Closed Beta.  I'm looking forward to spending more time in game and chatting with all of you!

Hey Paetryn my character is in as well. Daxe.

So far I really love the way this looks !

[Paetryn]

I sent a friends request to you and welcome to the game.

[Notja]

Got a beta invite today for 7 days.. damn them!!!

[Paetryn]

I just missed Gequ on Landmark

G, I've added you to my friend's list.

 

Notja, you can keep getting 7 day keys.  If you sign into to the forums and look to the right side of the page, they have Twitter and other notices rotating  thru with opportunities to win

I'm considering the Landmark Trailblazers pack. Has anyone purchased this ?

[Paetryn]

My Son and I have, Ushiba has.

[Daxe_EQ2]

The Trailblazer will only give you a headstart during beta..not when the game goes live right ?

[Paetryn]

Yes, you will get a head start when the game goes live.

[Daxe_EQ2]

ok I misunderstood then. That alone would make buying that version of the game well worth it. Thanks for the info Paetryn !

[Paetryn]

I just read the Founder Packs information under Trailblazer and saw the early entry into Open Beta. So I see where your question comes from. I believe it was in the forums that they made that change.  Going to look for it.  I really wouldn't like to pass out false information.
