Boggotin's Guide

From LSWiki

Hello, I am Boggotin, currently a lvl 114 Troll Aligned Aisenshi-Insei-Te, Fianna, and Soulburner bonded to a Shlyma and a Spider Monkey.

The main purpose of this guide is to help newbies out with some general tips and tricks I've learned as I've played Lost Souls. However, there may be things for players of all experience levels as there isn't enough time in our lives to become experts in everything in Lost Souls.

Starting Out

Character Concept

There are far too many skills and spells and powers and everything in this game to be able to do everything. And if if you did find a way to do everything, all you'd really be able to do was everything really poorly. What you want to do is focus, come up with a concept for a character, then try to build that concept. Throughout this guide, I will talk about the concept I used and how I came to where I am today with it. My concept was a Ninja Troll.

Whatever your concept, take some time browsing the Guilds to find one that most closely resembles your concept. For me, this was the Aisenshi. More specifically, I decided to specialize in unarmed combat which made me the Aisenshi-Insei-Te. Once you've picked a guild, pick a race that helps your concept, for me since the race was part of my concept it was easy. For you, it may take a bit of research with Races. Compare the skills that your chosen guild uses with the high stats of the various races, try to pick one that seems to correspond well.

An example of this is my Fomor who is also a Shemsu Sutekh bonded to a Bat (Empathic Bond) and joined the association Sodality of the Nine-Spoked Wheel. My concept with that character was to create a Demon who maximizes the use of his Qlippotic Affinity, previously known as Unholy Taint.
