Save everything!

  • Nearly everything that drops off enemies and harvestables are either useful in crafting or will earn you favor(see below). As a new player make sure to use the "Small Talk" option with every new NPC you discover to learn about their likes and dislikes. Experiment by giving them appropriate gifts. This will give you over time an idea of what's worth holding onto.
  • If you still are not sure or want to hold onto stacks of items to gift later, store it with Hulon and start buying additional vault slots. You will be happy to have those stacks of items many levels later when you realize what they are for.
  • For those what are worried about running out of room on their characters personal inv space, certain armor mod, skills and potions(temporally) can increase the amount of space you have to carry items. Beware though! If you become overburdened with items you lose the ability to run.
  • Empty bottles:Item-icon-bottle.png To fill an empty bottle with water you can either activate a water well (eg. in Serbule) or similar object, but you can also simply stand in a body of water outdoors and right click an empty bottle.
