I'm a bit of an interesting user: I help when I can, I offer any advice to a willing ear, and I have a wealth of experience for the new users. To introduce them, my pets are quite fun to play with and I'd never give them up (so don't try to get me to give up my Ice Bori!). My Yurble has a puzzle guide, while I use my Lupe as my main Battledome Pet, so feel free to critique on either one, 'cause I'm always open to suggestions. I make a lot of friends, but don't expect me to hand over rare items or NP for any reason (I'm nice, not gullible). The guild I go to is a tad rule-heavy, but it's one of the cleanest guilds I've been in so far. I won't explain why I like it (You should find out for yourself) but I can say that I'm never leaving it. If you need any tips for starting as a first-time user, find as many friends offline who play this, too. You'll find the more friends you can trust, the fewer chances you get scammed on a deal. If you're still worried about making risky choices on items or NP, the Wall of Shame is quite handy, since most known scams are recorded on this list (it may take awhile, but knowing them can help you know things like the difference between Paint Brushes and the cheaper Plushie versions). I have a shop that I use to sell all the items I collect during the year and sell them at certain times. You might stumble onto it looking for an item... but I don't want to force the issue (People get warned for advertising in the wrong places). If you need a guide or two for anything on this site, let me know and I'll send the URL of a place I guarantee will help.
