Hello! Basic noob Q's

[Frizze]

Try to keep up with the main storyline quests. Those are the ones with the flaming meteor icon. They unlock a lot of the features of the game. So during one of the level 20 storyline quests you'll be asked to join an army. When you do so, theyll let you buy a mount for 200 of a currency you cant earn until you join said army(mind you, 200 takes maybe 5-10 mins to earn). Completing that quest and buying that mount unlocks the mount feature, and any other mounts you may have at that time(for instance, maybe a veteran reward mount) become usable.

So as of this writing there are 3 healer classes in game. They all have their pluses and minuses, but all 3 are fine. They all group well, and scholar is the one that solo's the best because they have the faerie to help them. With the faeries help you have good flexibility to do damage while still healing, just dont depend entirely on the faerie to keep a group up in a tough fight and youll do fine.

As for galaxies, i never played it so i couldnt begin to compare crafting systems. This game has a fairly complex crafting system, most items do have normal and high quality versions you can craft if you do well enough, and its certainly something you can check out. The crafting guilds all have material suppliers nearby that sell all the stuff you need to make recipes up to about level 15, so you could easily set aside a block of an hour or two and try making some things to see how it feels.
