Newbie Guide:

A novice character is one who is new to the world of Lineage II. Certain benefits are available to novice characters up to level 25. Taxes and other charges have led to a steep increase in prices for armor and weaponry. To help offset this problem, novice characters can exchange their used gear for full credit towards the purchase of new equipment in any weapon or armor shop. Also, the threat of monsters may be overwhelming for novice characters. I help them as much as possible.. Come and see me for support magic that is appropriate for your level. This will help build the confidence you'll need to challenge the powerful monsters in this world. View the list of assist magics. Thirdly, Soulshots and Spiritshot for Novices will be given in addition. A novice character can receive additional Soulshots and Spiritshot for novices if he completes a particular quest. The information for this quest will be provided later. And lastly, occasionally players find that they wish to change the race or class of their character. Novice character benefits may be passed to a new character up to level 6. However, once a character reaches level 6, then only that character receives benefits as a novice.
