Let's keep it all on a single thread so everyone can share stories.

I visited the Origin New Haven. The funniest thing I experienced was the Swordsmanship trainer, Jockyls, who called me a pansy for refusing the noob swords quest.

*laughs uproariously*

Good idea for a thread
*stickies*

It's not so spread out and easier to find all the shops and things. It looks more interesting too.

Old Haven looks better, I like the ruined look, especially the barricades and stuff where it looks like the old inhabitants tried to make a last stand perhaps? It also kind of reminds me of Deathknell in WoW.

OMFG! The parry trainer gives out a truly great shield as a reward, it's called the Escutcheon of Ariadne, has 5 Reflect, 10 DCI, and both Phys and Energy resist in the teens! :shocked:

Hope we get a story of what happened in Old Haven. Like to know what happened to old Uzeraan and his nasty slave, the "Servant of Semidar."

And where did all the mongbats go?

Can't wait to get home and get in! Ooohh I want that shield! Thanks for the heads-up, Rhus!

:grin:

Here is the new quest reward sword from the Swordsmanship trainer in New Haven:




As you can see, it's blessed and not bad for a longsword. Any noob would be happy to receive it as a reward.

Nice, thanks for posting that Rhus

And I agree, it'd be great for a new player
Maybe they're introducing these items because of the uproar of them removing the old newbie items for new players?
Is the shield also blessed?

Can't wait until KR comes out so I can check it out.

I saw the shield equipped on another player, didn't notice if it was blessed or not, I'd presume that it is.

From what I could tell, most of the noob trainers offer rewards of some sort or another, I'd be willing to bet that by accepting all of the warrior-oriented quests you would end up with a nice armor suit, possibly blessed.

earthy mounts now look like reg mounts(ie: horses/llama) once dismounted and remounted
