It's been a cool few days in Project Gorgon. I finally decided to get serious about joining a guild and found one pretty easily from message board searching. After that, I was given an escort around the more dangerous parts of the world by one of the guild leaders and treated to just a taste of the high-level experience.
There's a vast desert out here in Project Gorgon where you have to keep drinking water to hydrate or it can lead to being slowed and dying. If you have empty bottles there are a couple of wells and lakes that you can find out here to keep replenishing.
Our main objective in the desert was to farm Desert Raksasha for gear that we would turn in to an NPC in a hut that teaches what my guild leader called the most important skill in Project Gorgon (pffft, obviously he hasn't read my seek objective post ;) ): Augmentation. For with this skill, you can add effects to any piece of gear! By doing so, as I understand it, it will raise the rarity of any item.
Gotta say, it was pretty cool just not being out there in the world all by myself! Actually running around Project Gorgon with other people. wow!
During our tour around the world I was shown a "back door" to the place where all the high level people hang out: Red Wing Casino. This place is chock-full of training NPCs and side games. I was absolutely overjoyed to find out that you can actually play match-3 inside of Project Gorgon, and it pays pretty good too! At least for a low level shmuck like me.
The game behind the match-3 isn't too overly complex. It uses the same kind of Extra Turn/Bonus Turn mechanic found in games like Puzzle Craft 2 or Gems of War. As you match gems you work your way toward earning "one" of the pieces, which turned out to be super handy for me. I actually earned some string, which allowed me to learn the skill "Tame Cat." Now all I need is another piece of string so I can actually tame a cat LOL.
Not that I don't absolutely love my fire rat pet I recently picked up in Etibule. If there's one thing that's cool for animal handlers like me, you can upgrade your first rat to a fire rat quite quickly after moving out of the demo and into the paid game.
For now I continue to grind away at the quests in Etibule while sticking mostly to Animal Handling, Shield, and Fire Magic, but there are SO MANY combat skills that I would love to play around with: Mentalism, Bard, Necromancer, Staff Fighting, Unarmed fighting, Sword, Bow, and on and on.
If there's one thing that'll keep you grinding in this game, it's the sheer number of abilities you can learn.
Happy Dueling!
