 ====Getting your first two skills to level 50 quick==== ====Getting your first two skills to level 50 quick====
-Professor Cat created an **excellent** video for those of you that want a quick guide towards [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgNun1gQYAI | getting your first two skills to combat level 50]] (he recommends Psychology/Fire Magic, likely due to the significant damage these both due early on). He also very conveniently gets exactly the materials needed early on in specific cases (I'm sure some of this was kind of scripted, but it's important to note you can always ask other players for help, especially if you just need a few items to get an NPC's Favor to that next level). Keep in mind he's a veteran player with several characters 90+, so you probably won't go as fast as he does, but I do have to admit that these two skills and the routes he takes in this video is probably the single fastest way to get two skills to 50.+Professor Cat created an **excellent** video for those of you that want a quick guide towards [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgNun1gQYAI | getting your first two combat skills to level 50]] (he recommends Psychology/Fire Magic, likely due to the significant damage these both due early on).

 My only major recommendation separate from the actions he does here is that if you are a brand new player you should stop after getting Psychology on the island and definitely enjoy the other quests and things on tutorial island using Sword or Unarmed instead of heading straight to Serbule keep to get Fire Magic if this is your first character. He rushes the "Ursula's Earrings" (a human racial item that gives a huge benefit to fire damage) and very luckily gets a cheap white "Ring of Increasing Anxiety". You probably won't get as lucky as he does, though I will admit it IS possible to get Ursula's earrings without too much difficulty, even at a super low level. Having Fire Magic a few levels behind Psychology because you stayed on the tutorial island is fine, by end game the gap will be minor and mostly ignorable. My only major recommendation separate from the actions he does here is that if you are a brand new player you should stop after getting Psychology on the island and definitely enjoy the other quests and things on tutorial island using Sword or Unarmed instead of heading straight to Serbule keep to get Fire Magic if this is your first character.

 And some of us **like** that the game is designed this way. You can quickly get your toes wet into any two combat skills, but if you want to really focus down and get those skills to max level, you gotta start using the Favor system, you gotta get into crafting, you need to start exploring what all the game has to offer. Unlike typical MMOs where you grind the same enemies for days, the "grind" in Project Gorgon is exploring, crafting, and doing all the non-combat stuff to unlock better skills and levels.  And some of us **like** that the game is designed this way.

 After grinding four combat skills to level 90+ and playing over several years I sat down one day and just decided I wanted to see what Spider was all about. There was a patch that had made it so Spiders could use Battle Chemistry, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Because of synergy levels I was already at like level 15 in Spider and level 40ish in Battle Chemistry, so I went for it. In under two weeks of causal play (4 hours during the week, maybe 8 hours on the weekends), I had both skills to level 80+.  After grinding four combat skills to level 90+ and playing over several years I sat down one day and just decided I wanted to see what Spider was all about.

 Project Gorgon really is a different kind of game, and some of us like it that way. Play the demo first. If you don't like that there are other systems other than just combat in the game, don't buy it, you'll be disappointed. Project Gorgon really is a different kind of game, and some of us like it that way.

 +====Power Leveling====
 +
 +Professor Cat created a follow up guide to his other video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YFebAqutBo|that talks about traveling skills in use for powerleveling]]. This guide covers the things you'll want to know about powerleveling. Combat skills that do AoE are good for powerleveling. So are having travel skills that increase your speed (or a horse and relevant Riding skill).
