If anyone is interested in becoming a juror, here is a nice quest guide.
Also the farming guide isnt bad either.

Ok holy crap the bots and gold spammer in this game is running havoc.
They just figured out how to totally hijack all public channels, the server i am on, you can't block 'em and they are running some sort of script that constantly scroll all other text away so you only see their spam.
Not leaving me very confident with the future of this game if it's amateur hour like this. I've spoken to a few russian that are playing on EU servers and they say their servers are wastelands due to hacking / spamming and botting , game being managed into the ground there.

Yea lag was bad, there was GM just now saying they are busy fixing it. Definitely better now, for me best part of Nui is being able to grab property in some cool spots, most players' houses are all like halfway built on this server, Kyprosa i remember that same spots were totally filled and houses were already like standing fully built.
Must say i'm enjoying the crafting / trading / traveling aspect of this game , the combat is meh and i purposely picked Shadowplay as a skillset so i can stealth around in the PvP zones.
It's quite a peaceful game for me , during all this lag spikes i was happily running trade runs and tending to my farming . It's quite exciting to explore the zones to find where the F2P players have tried to place their farms . Since they can't own property all their stuff is free game, so you get to these little nooks and crannies to find someone planted an entire banana plantation there...and you just go "kaching!" lol.
Looking forward into getting to running trade routes on the seas between the continents.

Yoh, how do you guys level? I love the game but these quests make me want to scratch my eyes out. I was in Hellswamp today and I waited out the wartime so that I could do my quests and once peacetime hit I just said 'meh' and quit because I couldn't stomach questing.
I'd love an alternative way to level. I don't see myself questing to 50.

I'm leveling mostly on crafting/trading/harvesting/farming , i only quest when i'm out of LP . You get alot of xp from things like mining nodes and crafting . I'm even wearing a full "miner's outfit" which adds to my mining proficiency instead of any combat gear.
I'm doing mostly the crafting quests to give my some direction .

I leveled to about lvl 20 and then just started farming and cooking. I must say I love the crafting in this game. I almost have my full farmers outift from doing the farming quest from the Blue salt traders; I just need the hat still 
@diabolus but that is a group open event which happens every 12 hours in ingame time. You are supposed to group up for it

Must say the whole crafting / trading aspect makes the entire game very "alive". You see people doing trade runs all over the place and it's not level based (the further you travel the more gold you get for the trade) . There are all these little social opportunities . It's almost the first time where i saw players actually using the public transport (carriages / airships) like you would expect and it not just being a gimmick. Players actually stand at the "bus stops" and wait for it to arrive and climb on and you usually end up talking during the trip.
Heck even the fact that the lion mounts can take 2 players makes for some interesting times. You can hop onto anyone's mount and be "carried" this way.
The whole trade-pack thing is very cool, you are so slow and vulnerable with one on your back, you really feel you need to take the "public transport" whenever it is available or get an escort (protection). I can already see a big market in getting ferried across the sea safely by players, i'm now at the mission with the 2nd farm and i can chose to go across in a little rowboat, with a 90% chance some sea creature killing me and me losing my trade-pack in the middle of the ocean, or i can charter a ship from another player and pay him (something i will be investigating soon, until i get my own ship).
Also how you can help build other players houses opens a whole range of options, i.e. instead of buying crafting stuff on the AH you contract a player directly to just build your house for you (how they get the materials is their problem).
As for that clockwork quest, yes it is marked as "elite" , but it's at most meant for 2-3 people. There are a bunch of problems with this quest, and actually ALL the quests in the game have the same issue:
1. It's in the open world right in the middle of a normal quest area .
2. You only get credit if you started the fight or in the actual group. So kill stealing and mob tagging is rampant.
3. It only spawns like once every 120 minutes .
4. It is meant for like lvl 15 players, you are only lvl 15 for so long...
I personally think they should've made it a world boss that needs alot more players or allow it to spawn at least every 20 minutes. The quest text actually read "BETWEEN 2am and 2pm" but in fact the mobs only spawn on EXACTLY 2am and 2pm. Otherwise they should have put it in some sort of instance like the Palace Cellar.
It's trivial in the bigger scheme of things, so i am nitpicking i guess, i just don't think it's the best design considering the amount of players. It might even out as time goes on and lowbies lessen.

Yeah the trading and crafting in this game is a blast. I'm saving up for my Clipper atm.
Heres a nice trade calculator if anyone is interested.

Nice, looks like i will do the Arcum Iris-Villanelle run a few more times, probably going to aim for that trade wagon thing where you can carry 2 trade packs. That's like 10g i shot then.
I just need a bigger farm to make all that stuff. I went as far as finding an "unprotected" farm on a cliff side, only way to get to it is to glide from a very specific place and dropping down on the specific ledge in mid-air....lets hope it's still there tonight hehe.
My thieving ways lol 0 - 108 crime points in like 2 minutes xD (Note where i am on map)
Lol, i wonder how many players /ragequit when they log on to discover their entire farm in the middle of nowhere was raided. I find those red footprints left behind quite amusing. Just when you think the game is bugging out and your plants are dissappearing you spot all these footprints around your missing plants and then you can only /facepalm.
I see there are players that are doing JUST that, they run around on all the cliffs/ridges and places where you'd expect players to try and hide away their unprotected farms and they raid everything . I read that alot of guilds are creating huge plantations in the PvP areas and protecting it the good old fashion way ... players patrolling the area.

What is terrific about that is if people just run that trade runs trade value goes down and another one goes up
At the moment my money making machine is Fruit. I make a lot of gold each day just selling them.
Best place to go if you want to secret farm is sneak into a lvl 50 area and look for a hidden place and plant there. I planted acres of trees in the early days when I was lvl20ish. People rarely check the high level areas for hidden plantations.

That was my thinking but with the low level areas (ie starting area)

Nope those areas get patrolled a lot for hidden farms
