Tips and Tricks on AQW: #1...

Fashion?

Fashion, you say? How can fashion help you out when you're off trying to battle with the ProtoSartorium, and nobody wants to help you? Easy. Well, perhaps in real life, fashion may not be able to help you get out, when a person wants to mug you, and in fact, it might just be the cause of why you're being mugged in the first place; but in Adventure Quest Worlds, I've seen that fashion actually helps a lot, when you're looking for a party to battle with; or if you just want to get bombarded with friend requests, instead of you bombarding some busy level 20 player trying to rank up his classes.

Aside from how high your level is and how incredibly wealthy you seem to be in your character page, you'll never pass off as one of the best and elite AQW players, if you keep wearing some passe, worn out armor from who knows where. I'm not a member, how can I get my hands on cool armors and weps? Who the hell said that you had to be a member to have cool armor and weapons? Yeah, sure, you might not be able to have the skills of a Beta Berserker or a Paladin; but that doesn't mean that you're not allowed to look cool. Truth be told, this is the part that I hate about AE games--but you can't blame them, because that's where they get most of their money that they spend on upgrading and adding more servers to the game from. But here's what I do like about AE games, like AQW: you're allowed free will to customize yourself. So, make use of what you have, and what you're going to get once your done reading this.

Don't just put on whatever you want; take a look at yourself first, and take a look at your surroundings. What's everyone else wearing? Right now, I guess, since AQW did not make a new non-member item for good aligned players, that everyone else has changed to evil. Everyone's strutting off in their dark crusader armor with their Helm of the Darklord. Looks okay, but you're not standing out, are you? At least this is tolerable, wait until you see some cocky level 18 player, wearing Water Draconian wings with the Shadow Cleric armor and some awfully awful helm. Now that's another problem there. Some armors might cost much, but after that, it'll be smooth sailing.

When I was just at level 13, I got with some level 11-15 people, and finished off the quests in the citadel, and bought myself the Inquisitor Guard, Captain, and Crusader armors. And as we were killing some guards, I got their drops, and there I was, looking all cool with my guard armor. I did the same with the captain, and got all its drops. And at level 15, I was getting bombarded with friend and group requests. After awhile, copying enemy armors was getting kind of boring for me, so I went and mixed up the items that I'd gotten from them. I actually looked pretty cool with my Short Captain Polearm and White Feathery wings, in my Crusader armor topped with am Inquisitor Guard Helm. And people were all "I like Your Outfit!" and "You look Cool!" "Where'd you get those?" So, it's really not enough that you copy a monster's armors, but basically just making use of what you have. I'm bummed, too, that non-members get nothing but petty items in the game, but let's make use of what we have. Or whatever we're allowed to have!
