Top Tips & Tricks for Ashes of Creation
Get Weapons Early
As you start the game, make sure to collect the weapons off the spawn area and test them on the Sickly Goblins in the early game. This way you can try all weapons in the game and get a feel for them for free without having to invest anything into buying them later down the line. Not only this, but all new characters start with only one weapon, either ranged or melee depending on which class you play. However, you can and should be wearing both ranged and melee weapons in order to level them at the same time regardless of which one is your main weapon.
Importance of Glint
Glint is one of, if not the most important items in the game and its required in the creation of caravans but also can be sold to vendors. This glint drops from most mobs, including the low level goblins you meet in the beginning of the game. Make sure to stack all the glint you can get, but be aware that you can lose it by dying to either mobs or players, dropping glint every time you die alongside other items. To counter this, you should sell glint to vendors for copper, gold or silver.
