Hi,
I am new to the main part of Terra World and I am wondering what skills i should master first.
I have mastered all of the following skills on noob:

- Fishing
- Cooking
- Mining
- Lumberjacking
- Parry
- Block

I have 60 hp and my armour is, plate armour, plate helm, plate boots, steel shield RoQ, and my weapon is a long sword.
I have 2k in cash and some things to sell. What should i master first and what should i buy for the skill?

Hey Clown, glad you made it to main. (I was online when you came across on the ferry!) Congrats.

If you like reading you can read my thread "My First Impressions". It's a diary of sorts about my experience so far in the game. From this you can figure out which things are important, and which things are not so important.

I'm thinking that at the point you are at, Hit points are your greatest need, along with slash. Archery is a very good way to get levels quickly but don't even try until you can get either a steel bow or a crossbow (4k in Antwerp). Using the wooden bow is a waste of money/gems.
But, if you get the crossbow and a bunch of gems you can get money, levels and hitpoints quite quickly.
When you get enough money, buy a better sword. Broadsword is very good, as well as the DarkSword. Then you can kill with impunity and raise that slash up on some Ghosts!

Money will quickly become an issue. Archery can make you lots of money very quickly. Kill Lizard Warriors and Dwarves. The Lizard Warriors drop broke plate helms and broken steel shields quite often. I get one almost every time I go to Reet.

You can try your luck on the Mega Slimes. They are great for leveling slash and thrust and occasionally drop a broken plate helm as well, though, they can be tough early on.

Good luck!
