To help offset this problem, *novice characters can exchange their used gearfor full credit towards the purchase of new equipment* in any weapon or armor shop.%% Also, the threat of monsters may be overwhelming for novice characters. I help them as much as possible.. *Come and see me for support magic that is appropriatefor your level.*%% This will help build the confidence you'll need to challengethe powerful monsters in this world.

The information for this quest will be provided later. And lastly, occasionally players find that they wish to change the race or class of their character. *Novice character benefits may be passed to a new character upto level 6.* However, once a character reaches level 6, then only that character receives benefits as a novice.
