Introduction to AQW

Hey all you fans of Adventure Quest Worlds. Welcome to all players and non-players.
AQW is a great game by Artix Entertainment (AE). New releases all the time keep things exciting. This site is to help you and help me.

Let me open with the basics.
Stake your bets on warrior class as the best starter class choice. I can understand the argument for mage class, but let's be serious. Hopefully, after the addition of stats, there will be more class equity.
CONFIRM YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IF YOU WANT TO CHAT.
To travel to different places type "/join [room]-[room number]". Ex: If I wanted to travel to Yulgar's Inn, I would type "/join yulgar". If I wanted to travel to a private room of Yulgar's Inn, I would type "/join yulgar-xxxx" or "/join yulgar-xxxxx". AE designed it so that only four or five digit numbers would be private, any number below four digits would put you in a room with people and any number above five digits would put you in a five digit room.
Now that you know how to travel to different areas, begin learning the different area names on the world map and exploring.

Important terms to know:
'mem' - There is an optional membership for this game, and many items are restricted to those who pay the subscription.
'rare' - an item that is no longer available to obtain in-game. ex: default staff, balrog blade, alpha pirate, beta berserker
'AC' - Adventure Coins are special tokens that allow you to buy better gear for a cost. ACs can also be bought with real money or obtained free in smaller amounts through AExtras, which are tedious third-party offers.

Now lets get to business.

GOLD FARMING -
/join portalundead and do the "Fire Gem" quest everyday. That should be an easy 12.5k daily.
/join portal and do the Daily that Cleric Dawn offers. Some days it does not work for me, and on some days, the daily will be the Fire Gem quest. /join uppercity to fight chaotic draconians or /join marsh2 to fight the lich.

For gold farming, I would suggest one of two methods: Chaorrupted Bear or Dwakel. Always farm gold with someone else. It saves a lot of time.

1. Chaorrupted Bear - /join forestchaos, 3000 hp, 6 drops
Barbaric Tribesman Armor - 8.75k
Bear Clawed Axe - 2.5k
Chaos Bear Head - 2.5k
Bear Skin Cloak - 2.5k
Feral Druid's Headdress - 6.25k
Chaorrupted Bear Cub - 2.5k

+ Low health
+ Expensive drops
+ Relatively easy drops
- Have to kill 7 wolves to get to
- There is no shop there, so if you want to sell your items and come back, you have to kill 7 wolves again -.-

2. Dwakel - /join dwakel, 1000-2000 hp 8 kills, 2 possible drops, 3 quest items, 200 gold quest reward
Oculation Helm - 2.5k
Battery Cell Pack - 2.5k
Spybot - 2.5k
*Dwakel Bubble Helm - 1.25k
*Dwakel Warrior Sword - 3.75k

*You may or may not get this drop everytime, but they are relatively common.
+ Guarenteed amount of money in a certain time phrame makes for good consistency.
+ Probably the simplest way to farm gold and easiest to farm solo.
- Requires an annoying amount of accepting, turning in, and selling.

EXPERIENCE FARMING -
1. /join sleuthhound
2. Walk into hotel.
3. Walk upstairs.
4. Take a left turn.
5. Get in between the chair and the table and farm like a hillbilly.

Lvl 15 monsters with 500 hp. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It's like what portalundead used to be for gold, but for xp.
