Hint-A-Week: Entering a New Settlement/Quest Hub

Here are a few recommendations for what to do when you enter a settlement/quest hub for the first time:

1. Talk to the Stable-Master (or, in Evendim, the Boat-Master) in order to unlock the travel routes to the location.

2. Look for your class trainer (and later, your class legendary items vendors).

3. Look for the crafting area or areas.

4. Talk to the vendors for the local faction. You might find you're already eligible for the intro quests for the reputation tokens (or even have enough reputation to purchase items).

5. Test doors for interior locations.

6. Wander around and listen to the vignettes. The blurbs often gives you an idea of the type of quests you're going to be doing, or can just be plain interesting or entertaining.

7. Check out the available quests to determine if there are any that takes you back to a previous area. You might want to finish these quests first, because they might lead you on a quest chain in that previous area.

8. Review the Task Board, if available, to determine what items you should save as you move through the quests. Personally, I never accept a task until I'm ready to turn in the item.

Now you can start gathering available quests and work through the content!
