Hi, guys,
In my last post, I ended with level 15 and chose a spear and bow as my equipment. After wandering the countryside a bit, I decided to practice professions.
Mining ore and stone, cutting down trees, gathering plants and fishing.
Since everything is intertwined I always want to have these gathering in advance. At level 24, I can find something I can't gather. Basic raw materials need to be mined all the time because they are necessary to produce better materials, e.g. from iron I can make steel, from wood I can make planks or charcoal for metal processing. I can use freshly caught fish for cooking or make fillets and process them further.

At this point my goal is to have the collecting professions at 100, except music will be introduced once I have the instruments made. Gradually I'll take up other professions, for now the most important for me is arcana brewing and engineering.
Cooking produces food to replenish HP and mana, but also other bonuses.
Arcana is a kind of alchemy where I make potions for HP and various resist.
In engineering, the most important for me so far are the gathering tools.

Last time I introduced the factions, by completing quests I increase my reputation and after reaching the next rank I need to complete a quest. I got it at level 21, the game recommended me to go complete it at level 25, but I didn't care and so I set off. My quest was to summon a ghost and kill it, it wasn't easy but after my third death I finally succeeded.
Hurray then to the city to unlock the next rank and the new equipment associated with it.

I completely rebuilt the character, it took me 3 levels of faction quests to get enough points to buy equipment. The biggest change is the specialization, something in the style of a mage, I put on light armor and hold a fire staff and ice gauntlet.
