FINAL EXAM!

Don't worry--it's open book, and you get to pick which version of the
test to take.



Hardcore Adventurer:
You want to kill things and nothing else, so promptly ignore the
starting quests and head off to the hunting grounds. Once the xp gets
too low for you, do the Hunting Grounds quests, which will lead you to
Yothkai Dreg. Lather, rinse, repeat, and finish your test in Rachis
when you're sent there.



Hardcore Crafter:
So you want to make stuff and not do anything else? Yours is one of the
easiest tests. Ignore the starting quests and head to the Qur'xa
temple. Go up all the stairs to the Lomshir gate and go through.
Harvesting and crafting trainers are there.



Hardcore Diplomat: So you want
to test out your skills as an ambassador and nothing else? Ignore the
starting quests and head to the Qur'xa
temple. Speak to Aresha Al'Nafir to
begin your adventure.



Generalist:
So you want to do everything? Start with the adventuring quests to
Qur'xa temple. Once there, do the first ones that are still within the
temple, the Diplomacy quests, and, finally, the arcs to Yothkai Dreg
and Rachis. Then head to Lomshir for crafting and harvesting, as well
as the rest of your adventure!
