More rewarding early game

[ashen parcel]

Hello Nostale Community,
As we all know, its hard for Nostale to gather new players. Also most people i know mostly skip the early game of nostale, because its just not rewarding at all even tho the story is way more worked out than the later content of the game. Especially the jump from Lv85 to C10 is very hard if you start from zero. So my suggestion for that:

• add limited eq r5+7 to the main quest line of act 1-3. The craftable eq of act 3 would be perfect for that, no one uses it anyways, because its so hard to get and you exp way to fast. With this eq it would be easier to exp till c10 and its also easier to get rewards in ic at 80+.
• add free lv70 res s5 (limited) to the main quest line, it would help new players a bit and no one uses those in the later stages of the game
• add more rewards, especially gold, to the quests of the questline of act 1-4, so you actually benefit from it besides exp as a new player, so you can upgrade your sp, buy a mount and so on. Maybe 20kk during the whole questline of act 1-4 in addition to the gold of the recently upgraded act 5 quest. Also add gold or maybe c10 eq r5+7? (limited) to the end of the act 6.1 quest.
• Add a better starter package to the nosmall where you get many limited nosmall items that you need. A useful mount, a good pet that you can use like golden gloopy cake, 20x ancelloans, 20x lower premium sp upgrade scroll, 40x partner medicine, 40x gourmet pet food. It could be like 200 ND and only 1 time available during level 1-85. This would actually help a lot!
• make the early raids of nostale more relevant, you can actually implement a trophy system where each raid contains a different trophy that you can get out of a raidbox with a small chance. These trophys have different effects and if you gather all trophys of every single raid, you can exchange them for a major trophy with even better effects specifically for your character and playstyle. This will make early raidboxes and raidseals more profitable

Agree on giving stuff at the end of act4. Maybe also provide some stuff at the start of 5.2 (lv85 fake stuff). People may still try ibrahim to get the real one.

Maybe ending act5 can provide you with a scroll to pass any 1st gen sp from +0 to +5/9 ?

I'm not sure about giving free heroe stuff. If you receive fake stuff, you should be able to get a team to farm c10 stuff or c25. From there it's just a matter of time till c55/60 can be farmed.

Also because act6+ quests doesn't require you to finish previous acts, that might break too much balance for alts.

I agree with you that giving the lv85 fake stuff at the start of the act 5.2 is a really good idea instead of giving c10 r5+7 eq for free..

About the Act 6 Quest tho, i think the best idea is to make the quest only accessible after finishing the act 5 questline. So it cant be abused by alts. Just make it so that you can still teleport to cylloan via graham but you cant accept the quest until you finished everything before. Then you could also raise the exp from the act 6.1 quest by a lot, so you reach c10 faster. Because lets be real, after you hit c10, act 6 is pretty much pointless anyways beside erenia and zenas raid.

Great suggestions!! also add new ways(multiple ways) of getting potions and mackerel for new players instead of mini games
