Little Ideas

Raising your melee/brawling/swords skill up about 25.0. For the noobs like me to actually defeat a raccoon or wolves so i can skin them for leatherworking?

Traders are pretty much the least combat-oriented guild around at the moment, and considering many combat-oriented guilds don't get starting boosts, this is unlikely.

Options:
- Do what most other people have to do and train up your combat skills on the training warrior, rats, or ravens.
- Save up a mere 500 riln and hire a hiresword (traders-only perk) at your guild barracks to follow you around and help you kill things. Don't forget you can use the minion command for some limited control over the hiresword.
- Ask another character to help you take critters down so you can skin them until you're trained up enough in combat to do it yourself.
- Purchase skins that other players have sold at the marketplace.
- Purchase skins directly off other players.

Thanks! I've just been training in the traders barracks, but can't seem to beat up wolves and such.

Wolves are not newbie targets. You needs over 200 skill to take those pups on. Focus on deer, rats, and raccoon.

Do you have a weapon?
Do you have armor?

I have a short sword, but no armor. But I spent most of my riln on training. Imma see if there are any leather or pelts in the market and make some armor.

Making armor is unadvised until you have 200 skill, buy leather or metal armor from NPCs, it will be worth it

Does the scruffy attendant do much? Or does he just hold a lantern in the mines?

I believe he only carries the lantern, and that's it.

Yeah, we won't be giving Traders any combat bonuses, but Rias covered your other options very well.
No longer GMing for CLOK.

In the mines, where that ladder is, (The one I got stuck in, Landion) There should be a slope for handcarts, workcarts, horses and wagons so they can climb down there.
