 I do want to note, however, that if you have paid for the full game, playing as an animal character (even as your primary character) is definitely viable. Animals have a lot of animal-specific combat and survival skills even, and can be very enjoyable to play. A good portion of the playerbase even chooses to play as animals most of the time. A significant portion of that group maybe even NEVER plays as a human. It's entirely optional, but keep in mind you still may want to have a Human character around as an alt (also sometimes called a "mule") to trade with NPCs in Serbule for the early game. I do want to note, however, that if you have paid for the full game, playing as an animal character (even as your primary character) is definitely viable.

 I would also recommend storing/saving some items even if you have to store them in your inventory. In fact, here's a good list of items new players will occasionally run into around Serbule and should never sell to NPC vendors because they have value outside of NPC purchasing price by itself: I would also recommend storing/saving some items even if you have to store them in your inventory.

-  * Crabs, Clownfish, Grapefish, Perch - Use these to make food or meats instead and then sell (or gift for Favor) that food.+  * Crabs, Clownfish, Grapefish, Perch - Use these to make food or meats instead and then sell (or gift for Favor) that food. Clownfish and Perch can also be used to make speed potions which is good for travel till you get a horse.
   * Strange Dirt - These are used to make Fertilizer for Gardening or can be sold to players for at least 60-100 gold each.   * Strange Dirt - These are used to make Fertilizer for Gardening or can be sold to players for at least 60-100 gold each.

   * Cat's Eyeball, Antler - These two items (combined) can be bartered to Flia for Strange Dirt, an essential ingredient in gardening. Killing Deer is also a recurring quest with Marna so if you are Archery/Fire Magic or have a good ranged damaging ability, it's a great way to get some early Antlers and Favor with Marna so don't miss it.   * Cat's Eyeball, Antler - These two items (combined) can be bartered to Flia for Strange Dirt, an essential ingredient in gardening.

   * Bronze Gear, Tin Gear, Brass Nail, Metal Claw, Silver Spring, & Enchanted Construction Nail - If you purchase the full game, these can be bartered with Dorimir in the Casino basement for Casino Tokens. These tokens can be traded with Qatik for inventory space, so these items are very important for increasing storage space early game. Many of these items are also very needed for late game Carpentry and Gadgeteering. A few are used for high level Giant Bat/Battle Chemistry weaponry. Put simply, if you are planning on learning every crafting skill, you might want to consider holding on to some of these, but if you aren't immediately crafting, this might be a situation where Bartering will get you more inventory space quickly, so Bartering can actually be more important than Favor or Crafting.   * Bronze Gear, Tin Gear, Brass Nail, Metal Claw, Silver Spring, & Enchanted Construction Nail - If you purchase the full game, these can be bartered with Dorimir in the Casino basement for Casino Tokens.

-  * Rubywall Crystal - These will sell to players for 130 to 500 gold each or you can use them yourself in crafting or surveying which are two big early money-making options in the game. Selling a stack of 99 for ~15,000 in work orders is pretty common, sometimes they sell for less or more, though. +  * Rubywall Crystal - These will sell to players for 100 to 250 gold each or you can use them yourself in crafting or surveying which are two big early money-making options in the game.

-  * Eggs - Similar to Crabs these should be used to make easy food which you can eat or sell, but they will also sell for like 20-40 gold to desperate players in Trade chat.+  * Eggs - Similar to Crabs these should be used to make easy food which you can eat or Gift to an NPC for Favor or sell, but they will also sell for like 20-40 gold to desperate players in Trade chat.
   * Bottles - Bottles are worth around 30-40 gold each to most players. You can even go get Milk from a cow and easily get 100ish gold for the Bottle of Milk and the player may give you empty bottles for a cheaper price so you can milk cows again to repeat the process. This can also be done on alt accounts or mules so you can farm Milk for early money assuming you have a lot of bottles. Later on, you can get Empty Bottles by simply buying Fertilizer from Yetta and either using it or emptying it. The skill "Angling" can also help you collect mostly "free" empty bottles.   * Bottles - Bottles are worth around 30-40 gold each to most players.

   * Mushrooms - Most mushrooms can be combined with salt to make Mushroom Flakes which increases your Mycology skill and you can sell for more than the Mushroom value to an NPC named Mushroom Jack. Or, stack them up in your inventory and later sell them to players.   * Mushrooms - Most mushrooms can be combined with salt to make Mushroom Flakes which increases your Mycology skill and you can sell for more than the Mushroom value to an NPC named Mushroom Jack.

 One piece of advice about Words of Power (WOP). Don't bother saving these for too long. Just use them as you need them. There's unfortunately an issue where the WOPs can accidentally ([[suggestions#stopping_global_spam_words_of_power_woes|or intentionally, maybe even]]) be reused by other players or just run out and not work (server reboot?), so it's worthwhile to just use them as you need them. You can make maybe a few dozen at a time, but I would recommend using them within a week or you'll find other players will. One piece of advice about Words of Power (WOP).

-You can restock on Crabs by swimming in the moat and collecting them around Serbule. You'll also want to pick up Clownfish and Grapefish as you get higher Fishing skill. While Perch are going to be the most useful given their use in speed potionsGrapefish and Clownfish can be used for Favor with Rappanel in Serbule Hills for getting Bard skills. There's also an "Angling" skill that I go into detail about later on if you really want to focus on fish.+You can restock on Crabs by swimming in the moat and collecting them around Serbule.
