Extending Hall of Novice

[Correl]

Overall a very good idea, but there's one point I disagree with:

I think some sort of extrinsic motivational factor (e.g. a shiny looking armor set) would at least help getting new players started with taking their time to learn those basics.

One of the things I had though of was that for the EX primals, upon the first completion of all the training exercises for them, you could receive one of the token things used to purchase the weapons. That would provide some motivation (saves you a run) without making it "required" (IE I want the armor, so I have to run it).
