    The Heng newbie competition (77) thread...

    Right, so where to head to? I've found the world map, but judging by past character dumps, there are quite a few fixed quests worth attempting at some point. Head straight for a Proper Dungeon or off questing first?

    I don't know what level the competition character is, but I have played a bit of Heng so maybe this will help*. My usual itinerary is something like this:

    -> Start in Outpost
    Thieves Quest
    Warg Quest
    Clear Yeek Caves

    -> Go to Angband
    Level 6 Quest

    -> Go to Telmora
    Sewer Quest

    -> Go to Angwil
    Orc Camp

    -> Go to Angband
    Level 12 Quest

    -> Go to Angwil
    Doom Quest I

    -> Go to Telmora
    Fight in the Arena until you kill the Ogre Shaman and get the ?Acquirement

    -> Go to the Dark Caves
    Step inside, read ?Acq, get out quick

    You may need to level up a bit in Angband before taking on the next batch of quests:

    -> Go to Outpost
    Old Man Willow Quest

    -> Go to Telmora
    Vapor Quest

    -> Go to Morivant
    Mimic's Treasure
    Tengu & Death Swords

    Well that should get you started...
    *Note that I haven't played wilderness mode in a long while. Also, there are several lurkers on this forum who are much much more experienced with Heng than I am, so they may have better advice.
    EDIT: Oh, great, the character is level 18. Most of that is water under the bridge already. Maybe I'll look at the save file!
    EDIT2: OK, new recommendation: go to Telmora. Fail the Vault quest. Accept the Tower quest. Scum the Tower for a while; this is done by entering the quest, killing what you can, and leaving again. You won't fail the quest by leaving. You can gain some levels and some loot this way.

      I think it should be noted that you only have to actually "go", as in walk there the first time. Later you can recall to any dungeon of choice you've been before from any town (no need to walk there again) , and you can travel from town to town with one of the NPC services

        Indeed, from where you are (Angwil), the north-most building as a service to teleport you to another town. All 3 other towns have already been visited, so you can freely travel between them for 500gp a pop.
