Tip of the day.
To level up you need to go get training at Bluespring's. The location is based on your race. Its always in your home town.
Most things are in one place and they don't move. Some places, like the gardens or Draco's are in multiple places but you can't use them as short cuts. Most places and many special encounters have special, variable effects. (I hope you've discovered drinking by now.) Mostly the effect is a buff which raises your attack or defense by a small percentage.
One very nice place is Heidi's. On this server her place is in Romar.
Always
visit heidi's.
EVERY DAY
. Even if you have used your travel and have to burn 1 turn, go to Romar before you are out of turns and burn a candle in her shop. You lose one PvP for that day, but you get back 4 turns. So worst case you are burning a turn to get get 4. Even if you then burn another to go back where you were, you've traded 2 turns for 4. Sometimes 5.
For me, I now get 4 travel a day so I wake up in my home city (use some turns if I am close to leveling and then train), go to the big city for some booze and then back to romar. There I use up my turns in the forest. Then I go to heidi's for 4 turns, go back to the big city for booze, and back to my home city where I finish off my turns.
