Beginner Guide NC Version 2.5.369

As most of the existing player guides are outdated by now I decided to give a little help for new / returning players on how to start their characters.

A lot has changed recently regarding skills, item requirements and missions.
I thought it would be a good idea to have these changes recognized in a new guide.
This guide will be a work in progress. If anyone wants to contribute, just give a reply in the thread.

I am not going to exactly tell you what to do, but show the progression I use for my new alts.


1.
When starting in MC5 area, head directly to Lorcan who is standing outside the building at the foot of the ramp. There you start the first mission chain which gives you lots of XP, a weapon and an armor set. https://forum.neocron-game.com/showt...w-New-missions

There is also a special MC5 mission for additional XP and credits.
An overview of all MC5 beginner-missions can be found in the techhaven.org Wiki: https://wiki.techhaven.org/Area_MC5

After completing the missions you can explore the area or head directly to the Gene-Replicator and warp to your primary appartment.


2.
After arriving at your primary appartment Mr. Jones will wait for you outside your appartment.
I recommend doing your profession mission. A walkthrough can be found here: https://wiki.techhaven.org/Category:Mr.Jones_Missions


3.
Now it's time to go to the Job Center in Plaza 2 to start the next mission chain. This one gives a lot of XP, credits and items and really helps boosting your start in Neocron. The walkthrough can be found here: https://wiki.techhaven.org/Job_Center_Missions

This will boost your main skills (INT, STR, CON, DEX, PSI) up to / around level 20.


4.
Now you can start doing Runner missions for your faction.
The mission overview on techhaven.org got recently updated (partly). You can find it here: https://wiki.techhaven.org/Runner_Missions
