[I. Getting Started]
When you first create a character on Anarchy Online you are given the choice
from several different classes and a few different races.  Once you have chosen
you'll be taken to a space station where you'll either go to Jobe if you are a
Shade or Keeper.  The other choice is to go to the shuttle port which is what
you'll be doing.  After a short sequence of events you'll find yourself in the
hull of the ship.  Move around till you find the ladder and walk up to
it...wait..then you'll be transported to the top of the ship.  The place you'll
find yoursell is ICC Shuttleport, but better known as Newbie Island.  Here
we'll meet our first NPC (Non-Player Character) on the island.  She'll talk to
you and tell you to meet Thorn on the island.  From there your adventure
begins.  Make sure to check your inventory and equip your starting weapon.
Don't worry about ammunition as it requires none.

There are 7 boss mobs on Newbie Island.  The Snake boss which is to the right
of where you come ashore, the Leet boss which is in front of the tunnel, the
Salamander boss which is just slightly to the left of the Leet boss, the Malle
boss which is quite a ways to the left of the Salamander boss, and the Rollerat
boss which is on the corner of the island to the left of the Salamander boss.
In addition there are two robot bosses on the docks.  Go through the broken
gate and to the left there will be a dock, go to the end to find the robot
slave boss.  Go straight ahead from the broken fence at the docks and go until
you get to the beach, take a left and walk to the end and you'll find the big
robot boss.
All bosses drop around 5-7 items of variable quality including small ingots and
rings.  They also tend to drop quite a few nano disk and nano crystals of the
same thing.

VI.  Newbie Armor
If you go to Antonio the Trader and look at his wares you'll notice he carries
a lot of newbie armor.  You may see several of the same types with similar
names, but different prices.  Buy the lowest priced ones and keep an eye on the
requirements.  IF you are going to be a neutral character this is as far as you
can go.  However if you are Omni or Clan you can upgrade that armor.  Go to
your faction vendor near the teleport facility and buy a few badges, one per
newbie armor piece.
Open your trade skill window and put the Badge as the Source and the Armor
piece as the target. Combining them will give you a strengthened armor piece.
Now whenever you level up you can right click on that armor piece and it will
also level up.  All the AC's will increase up to level 15, but be careful
because the level requirements will increase by 1 each time as well.
VII. Upgrading Your Starting Weapons
All weapons require Antonio's Adaptation Factory, which can be bought from the
trader Antonio.  It also requires a mob drop, usually a common drop.  Talking
to Antonio and asking how to upgrade the item can find the item needed for
upgrading.  He'll tell you what is needed and you combine that with his
Adaptation Factory.
VIII. FAQ
Q. Where is XXX on the island?
A. It might be easier to say what isn't on Newbie Island.  Backpacks, most
tools, ammunition, Stim Packs, and most other amenities are missing from the
island.
Q. Should I be Omni, Clan, or Neutral?  Can I change later on?
A. Try talking to different NPC's and find out about the different factions.
Try to pick one that has motives similar to yours.  It should be known that
Neutrals are by far the most challenging faction, but don't let that let you
force you to rush your decision.  Once you pick either Omni or the Clans you
may never be neutral again.  Yes, you can switch between Omni and Clan, 1 time
I believe or at least every 24-90+ hours.  If you want a practical answer then
choose Omni since you'll get more money by selling to their vendor than the
others.
Q. The Omni Vendor sells an item for over 8k..that's way too much.  Is it
really worth the price?
A. If you are an Engineer that wants to trade skill absolutely.  As of now that
Technical Library may only be found on Newbie Island.
Q. Between the 8k item, the 1.5k Nanos, and the several thousand on newbie
armor and newbie weapons how am I going to get so much money on such a small
island?
A. Reets are your friend.  See those small green birds that hop around, they'll
fetch you a large amount of doe.  A common drop from them is an item called,
"Take Me To The Shop."  This item will fetch 200 credits from the Omni Vendor
and 160 for the others.  Reets also drop a lot of jewelry and those go from
50-200 credits as well.  Keep an eye out for rings as they go between 200-300
credits.  Also, killing Boss mobs can be a decent way to earn cash.  Not only
will they give you 50 Credits for looting but they can drop valuable weapons.
Just today I was able to get a small knife that brought 800 credits at the Omni
Vendor.
Q. Can I just make newbie armor and weapons to make loads of cash from?
A. No, because those items are No Drop.  That means the only way to get them
out of your inventory is to delete them.  Some No Drop items may be given to
NPC's for quests but cannot be sold.
Q. What are some good weapons, I can't tell what is good and what isn't?
A. Anything that says irreparable or has some sort of flaw won't bring much.
Check the name and if it sounds like junk it probably is.  A good rule of thumb
is if it does as much or more damage than your weapon or has multiple added
effects then it's good.
