I think you miss the point. Ryzom doesn't spoon feed you locations (or anything else for that matter). You have to explore and find them. Once you have been to a portal/spawn point it displays on the map, not before.






That's what the consider system is for - the coloured square and stars tell you in your target window. Right click it and select help, it will explain what the colours mean. More stars equals tougher mob.

It sets the names for the first 3 or 4 people in fairhaven you have to visit.
Your supposed to do a mission for the messenger , that mission has no waypoint. ,I have run into quite a number of people with the same problem, Unless you realise that you need to zoom in the map to see the green flags , or think to click on the landmarks in the radar pointer , well your stumped.. And should i have to go looking on a website when i first land to do a mission , i think not.

Ill have to take your word on that one , i havent noticed it marking the portals, i have been landmarking them. Still my point , people dont even know they exisit.


Well yeah I realise more stars means a tougher enemy. But 1 star from one animal is tougher than another. 1 star blue plant is a lot easier to kill than a 1 star blue clopper... I can show you places where on the same chunk of land is baying cloppers 5 star blue and right beside that is 1 or 2 star orange
natural progression should be 1 star yellows . Falls back to my point about , How do you know where you should go , besides having to swim all around the place, clicking on everything.



Im not saying everything needs to be spoon fed , on the island they do a pretty good job of getting you going there, but ive seen quite a number of people including myself hit the mainland , and come a grinding halt. What am i supposed to be doing, how do i get places, or where is it.

Sure somethings might be alot easier when your used to them. Try to think of the ones just joining and what they are thinking. Rather than having that amber cube mission when you first land a better idea would be some kind of orientation mission.
