Rule number 1: It's a game, not a second job. Take it easy, and at your own pace.

it always warms my heart when i hear content creators for a mmorpg say: DON'T RUSH TO LEVEL CAP!

Tip number 1 : Don't waste time trying to reach end game because you will never reach endgame

my channel was hijacked, i am commenting from my new one. i will be uploading an updated version of this video on there soon

Thanks Silv3ry. Your referral code was a nice little boost to get me started in game, and your guide got me off to a good start.

There are some really good tips! My little level 5 toon way back 4 yrs ago would have loved this information. I'm level 80 with multiple toons so these aren't new to me to be honest (shocker!! Haha) but as a new player if I'd have known these my experience would have been better. So thank you!

Only one thing to add... say chat is not the entire instance but more immediate vicinity. There is a range to say chat and people out of that range can’t read it 😊

Great perspective ! I wish I had seen this some months ago when I first joined NW. Keep up the good work.

One that i wish people had told me: Don't waste your Astral Diamonds buying gear before level 70 or even 80. At level 70 you receive a quest from Lord Neverember and he'll give you a chest full of gear, weapons, companion gear, etc all for FREE. Save your shiny blue bricks for lvl80. You need a lot of them.

I agree with you 100% take your time and enjoy the game. Don't rush through it. You could be missing out.

I'd really advise taking a Deepcrow Hatchling as a first pet at high level. It's one of the cheapest augment pet. It's epic from the start (consider the fact you need 750k AD to upgrade a green pet to purple/epic). And its offence power gives 8k power at legendary. Then the most important thing to do at level 80 is getting rank 15 bondings. You can do mostly everything with just a legendary augment pet and rank 15 bondings. But maybe that's for another video like "What to do when you reach lvl 80 ?".

I've been pretty reliably getting 1-2 K for pants and shirts dropping from ME's on the AH, so that's been a nice little side bonus.

Proud to be your 8,000th sub ;)

Awesome vid. Wish I'd have seen it a few months ago, but still learned a ton. Gonna go grab that free gear now, maybe that will keep my warlock from dying everytime there's a gentle breeze. 75 and had thought the logical progression was to start campaigns as soon as they become available, never even considered starting undermountain. Lol

Thank you for the video, I am level 80 on 2 characters and did not know about potion buffs overriding each other. I can stop wasting potions now.

Thank you for this guide and the referral links. Newbie of 5(me and my friends) would like to thank you so much

The only thing i would say to tip 1 is yes, just put on the gear that has the most green numbers, but keep your weapon up to date as much as possible (even if only with the bounties in the zone that matches your level). Weapon makes a huge DPS difference while going from 1-70, and its super easy to keep up on

If you add money to your steam wallet first, then go in game and buy the zen using your steam wallet you won't go on probation. Learned that after getting put on probation and then experimented a bit to find a way around it

You've made me want to try this for the first time.. currently downloading on the ps4. :)

It's always interesting looking back on older videos sometimes... it might be time for another one of these soon Silver :)

Thank you for the information! Clear, concise and easy! Thanks!

I have a character that is level 10 and I see on peoples builds that I been watching, they have this thing called “feats” and I looked in my character sheet and I don’t have it, like it just shows: Character, power, boons, companions, and mount Can someone help me with this problem pretty please!!

Thank you for a great informative video and for referral link!

can you play this game on the macbook pro 2018 version?

great tips! thanks :)

Thanks. Just starting as a Gith Rogue. I needed this.

Buy 23000 Zen, VIP rank 12, don't buy enchantmented keys. Buy a couple of epic mounts (account unlockable). Change zen for diamonds on the exchange, buy a legendary mount for your main character. Don't rank up enchantments or runestones, sell or components and buy enchantments and runestones at rank 13 from the AH. Get into an active guild. Did I miss anything else?

If you're on ps4, I'd say don't get discouraged by the queue times. Made a new character and it takes a while this time around to do them

Just remember though, once you passed lvl 10, your only option is refer someone else or even refer a new account you create. Even if you delete that character that is over lvl 10, the refer a friend will not work anymore although I do know of someone who was over lvl 10 but somehow was still able to use the code, it's not something you can duplicate, he just got lucky I guess cause of game lag. The refer a friend is really the best you can do to help a new player to the game but they really have to new, lvl 5 is very easy to pass and you'll miss out on weapons that level with you up to lvl 60.

No where to claim on home key in game nothing is happening is this expired? No claim rewards button please help so I can play I'm not level 10 yet.

Stats and gear don't matter till lev 80? what type of rpg is this?

I have the need to get to level 80 as soon as possible😗. It is a very satisfying feeling🤗

How about tips for returning players. I've been away for 9 months and I'm so confused and my guild is dead. The leader actually passed away and I'm stuck with a new guild.

New player, only been playing for 5 days. Thank you for the video. Do you have or could you make a video regarding what to sell and or keep? I find this the hardest element. I have kept everything as all i can find advice wise online is to sell white and green items. There is so much stuff and it is a tad overwhelming. Thanks in advance 💚

I buy some Zen using the Steam wallet, and since 2016, all the stuff I've buyed was/is unbound. I do not know why, but I can not complain

sivery theres a bunch of free stuff bags companions mounts other then the referral for consoles just by linking youre console of choice to youre arc account its super fast and easy and youll get tons of usefull stuff just open the rewards from the rewards agent on the toon you want the stuff bound on its all explained thru the arc app when youre downloading neverwinter and can be done at any time 3 companions a 2 mounts for every toon ull create plus loamweave enchantment bags genies gifts etc etc just for clicking a link button plus theres a rewards points system for unlocking achievments allowing you to use them to by pheoras mystic nightmare ckeletal dog and tons of other stuff all free no strings attached not many know about it so sorry for the long post but if youre on console free coals etc are a godsend

Thanks, I'm installing the game now, made a new account to get your referral link

Used your referral link :) Thanks for the excellent video!

Honestly the only tip I need as a veteran player is how to download neverwinter classic xD, anyways nice video it will help a lot of new players

Great video, thank you! I am an absolute new player and what I have figured out so far: If you disable post processing in the graphics options the game looks sharper if that disturbs you :-) What class are you there in the video at 06:30 ?

I've never understood the new profession workshop

Very nice video, thanks

anyone has a referral code for ps4

Its a good tips..but i dont trust the dev anymore..they change things in their way so community has to go with the flow.. sometimes its just off for me. Good luck :) and great Vid :)

awesome video, keep up the great work.

Thanks for the guide! But do you have an item guide as well? Like what to keep, sell, refine, etc? Thanks 🙏🏽

are there still giant pop ups that inform me that so and so just got the bow of awesome sauce from a lootbox? theyre annoying and I cant play if theyre in the game

I'd never turn off Zone (Altough while in the Enclave it's undertstandable, but it's worth turning on when outside) or Say, but especially do not turn off Say under any circumstance, a lot of players from my experience aren't using the party channel due to it bugging a lot (one has to manually toggle it each dungeon run it seems) and there is more to gain from having greater awareness through those channels being active when outside Protectors Enclave. Usually things aren't so bad outside of there, usually. I often actually leave my channel to Zone or Say by default as I find it annoying to manually switch to party every run (Unless it's a REALLY serious dungeon, but I don't get into those super often yet with my low item level)

Do u have a build vid of ur cleric dps build i love the vids by the way good work lol

THIS GAME IS AN EXTREME GRIND, which is exasperated by some very harsh timegates and RNG mechanics. Yet much of this can be circumvented by spending real world money which does not necessarily make Neverwinter pay to win, but definitely comes across as predatory IMO. For new players this won't be immediately apparent until after they've invested dozens (perhaps hundreds) of hours into the game. This to me seems like it was done intentionally; with some free quality of life items (inventory space, bank space, slightly faster mounts, etc.) given early on (to encourage the player to invest more time into playing) that become cruelly insufficient late/mid-to-late game. Inventory management becomes horrendously tedious unless one shells out the cash or AD to buy expansions (bags/bank space). To compound this is the movement speed of mounts which is incredibly slow. Making the running back and forth from quest and grinding even more tedious. Epic and Legendary mounts are sufficiently fast to alleviate this, but are incredibly difficult to obtain as a new player w/o spending money/AD or being the recipient of some very generous player charity. Astral Diamonds (AD) can be earned via in game activities to buy much of what can be purchased with real cash, but earning enough AD to spend on essential quality of life items and much needed endgame gear(in lieu of cash) can literally take months or years even; as only so many can be earned in one day. Leveling to 70 can be done relatively quickly , especially if one buys an exp. booster. However I do agree with Silvry that it's best to enjoy the story (of which the majority exist in the low level zones). End game campaigns and zones have very little narrative and story; that only seem to exists for the purpose of facilitating the excruciatingly repetitive grind of the daily campaign quest. Furthermore (and finally),progression slows to almost a complete halt once the end game campaigns are reached and the difficulty spikes tremendously. Simply gaining the better gear needed to adequately participate in the lvl 70/80 zones/campaigns or mid/upper tier difficulty dungeouns can take literally months of grinding to get. High leveled Weapon and Armor enchants, which offer notable performance increases are extremely difficult and time-consuming to obtain (whether directly or via auction house). They are also among the most expensive items to buy via the auction house with AD, and gaining them via 'normal' means can be an infuriating RNG nightmare (similar to BDO's weapon upgrade mechanic). Neverwinter is a fun game, but I would warn new players against it if they're looking for a MMO in which they can reach (and adequately participate in) end game content within a few months like ESO. Because it will literally take years. That is unless one is willing to spend some serious cash.

Thank you Silv3ery, good stuff

*Don't* turn off zone chat.. It's the closest thing you'll get to entertainment in this game.

The "say" channel is also based on proximity. If you're standing by Neverember, you won't see anything someone at Moneycoins types into Say, you need to be in the same area.

Hey, thanks so much for referral link. I used it and am looking forward to playing the game. I am very casual as i spend time in hospital frequently. Great video.

My tips as a noob, played roughly six months and barely made i through MOD 16. Saving up for a runic bag for your most active characters is not a bad idea. Constantly having your inventory full and having to stop and delete and sell stuff is rather annoying. Also, use the bank for some extra inventory. When leveling up a character try all the skirmishes appropriate for your level, most of them are really fun. Also I would recommend staying away from fighter, formerly known as Guardian Fighter. In MOD 15 quite fun to play but nowadays in my opinion sucks a**.

Nifty ty. But sadly the refer doesn't work. I accepted and logged in and nothing shows up in game on the home page.

But... But... Zone channel is a place for u to have fun reading some drama... lol xD

Thanks for the info!!!!! Im level 55 your info really help alot!

Can confirm. Watermelon Sorbet is the best non-dairy fruit based food in the game.

so on the new patch can someone tell me how we can get the referal rewaed? i cant find from where to claim it, do we need to enter some code? and where we get the code from..? I have email that "the referal proces for arc is completed" nowhere i see a code or a button ingame to claim the rewards.

Ok, I'm completely new to this so forgive the neophyte questions. (1) How do I make my Wizard powers stronger? I'm @ level 60 and I still seem to be playing at the power strength I started with while others around me are wiping shit out like BAM! Shouldn't I be able to level up each power? I appreciate any help offered.

this game was fun back in 2013

I think you should do an updated version of this. The majority of the player base are new. Great content as always however

thanks i just started playing

Very helpful, thank you for posting.

Soo if i dont have friends :]

A Note on #4: Speed is talked about about, and later on talking about "Zen" it's mentioned that really only the VIP is worth it. It's mentioned to wait to spend Zen till you know you like the game, and this is good advice, but buying VIP Rank 12 isn't like "stressed". The time you save riding back to a portal to change maps, or looking for a bank, or a mailbox is invaluable. Plus you get more more HP which helps. If you like the game, spend $50 like you would for any game and achieve rank 12 VIP(buy during 1/2 off and any other promotional time. These will often stack making things even cheaper. Plus you can get a 20% off from invoking). Wile your year passes start saving ad and buying Zen, so any later VIP purchases are now being funded by the game itself. VIP is really important IMO. Plus injuries and crap like that are annoying when you don't have VIP. Good list Silver. Wasn't trying to step on your toes here. Dorian: BV

My menu looks different it has class changes new content and gear and new and updated systems so I can’t claim the rewards

Good tips, thanks for posting!

Can we still complain about Mod 16? lol XD I'm not sure if it's a factor, but it looks like my first Guild I had joined with my first Character is folding. I believe numerous changes in Mod 16 was part of it. Have you noticed or heard reports of Guilds folding because of the changes? Also curious if you're still hearing about the complaints on the wire that many people had with Mod 16? What's the current "pulse" of things?

Which class do you think is the best for the first time?

whats that mount name? The stick with a horse head at 3 50 i need to know

Cheapest augment companion is cat :)

@silv3ry hey is this game still alive? i wanted to give it a try but most of ppl says it's already dead

Anyone has referal link for ps4?

Can someone please tell me what this red fashion set is for?

New player question here, I know that I can play however I want, but once I hit 80 and try to do dungeons and such will ppl not pick me up because I'm using a GF as a dps? Should I roll a HR instead?

Im a new player as of a few days ago just started playing a teifling warlock so this helped me a ton! Thank you :)

What class u using on tip 16 and 17?

Stuck on cloak tower nobody can que inside its bugged on ps4

Writes everywhere UNTRANSLATED.what should I do ?

Difference between Neverwinter nights vs Neverwinter uprising?

New people cant talk in zone until around level 28 and they have done 4 zones ... For gear they are talking to the bounty npc's in each area they are doing quests in.. that how the new people now gear 1 - 70 , now that random equipment doesnt drop like it used to.. Good info otherwise those are my only points to add

Why is there a delay between my attack hit and it actually dealing damage? Is it normal? I didn't seem to notice the same issue in the video.

Just started playing on pc switching from console gonna use your referral link

Since I'm just coming back to the game after like 4 years should i just delete all my characters and use your referral link? Or can I get the pack by making a throw away account and getting something up to X level? Note: my highest level character was around 30?-40 that I ca remember so I wouldn't mind deleting them to relearn everything. :3

Big annoy, remade my account for RAF perks because apparently deleting your lvl 50 toon isn't enough. Thanks for the link though, working now, rerolled from Blade Barb to Thaum (Prolly) Wiz

A game with only 3 Abilities at a time. I tried it with a friend, got to lvl 80, and ive figured out it's not worth my time. The game gets boring really fast with only 3 abilities to use.

Would u make a video about the 5 queat chains im almost lvl 70 and i guess i skipped something and i cant find it maybe show how many areas there are in in each zone or map that would be the most help i subscribed without making the video to lengthy thanks

U make great content

Wow......I love this game... Also I I totally understand the chat...

I see a lot of "Don't Waste your money". Ignore them, they are mad they did not find out you can convert AD to Zen before they spent $$$. I'm sure Devs has a "GOT 'EM!" section under sales.

I was wondering what do you do with all the crap that can not be turned into refining points ?

the most important tip is, when you having fun with a cool game and ARC handles the server and game marketing, expect everything to be lagging so much, and destroying all the game by making the game You Pay You Win, Real Talk

New player here. Should i refine all the Quartz and other gray items find?

tnx it help me a lot

The floating energy bits on your Toon and the electricity on your weapon. I assume these are enchantments and if so what are the name of the enchantments are you using?

Thanks for that =) great love to you for all that stuff **friendlyhug**

Thanks for Video

but it's not mod 17. it's an expansion to mod 16.
