Introduction
This page's formatting (and idea of having something like this at all) is completely ripped off from Kilelen, so yay Kile! The purpose of this guide is to try to centralize some advice for new players from a not-so-new perspective. We have plenty of "old hats", and hopefully we can make your playing experience better.
On Starting
Lost Souls is incredibly complex. That complexity, in fact, is what brings many of us back year after year. Even those of us who have been playing for years still are finding new things.
So, my first advice would be not to let it overwhelm you. Enjoy it for what it is -- and worry about figuring out pieces at a time. If you try to absorb the entirety of everything at once, you'll probably explode.
With that in mind, I'd suggest picking one thing you want to try. This is even done by us long-timers...you'll often see in OOC something like: "I want to try an Amberite Sentinel and see how high strength I can get..I think that might really work." You can't do everything with one character, (although if you have fun trying, I'd say go for it)! But you'll probably have a more rewarding sense of accomplishment if you just stick to one thing...see the section on Skills/Specialties for more about this.
Once you have in mind what you want to try, create a character and read the help. Read, read, read (this is a text-based game, after all!). Don't feel ...
