Is there a way to quickly travel to the mainland in NF in doing as little as possible to get there? I've done the island so many times that it gets so boring and repetitive. >.>

This is a guess, but could someone ferry you to the Consulate Docks, latch onto a group with Dunkoro in the group and then do the mission to get to the mainland?

If you are a native Elonian char, you have to be either lvl 17 or a Sunspear Captain to get the "Time is Nigh" quest, which is the primary that takes you to Consulate Docks. I would assume that if you haven't reached those levels, you wouldn't be allowed to do the mission.

The way I bypass the boredom (and yes, it is mind-numbingly boring) of Istan is by making Factions chars. They not only level faster, but I found Shing Jea to be a lot cooler than Istan.

Good luck!

Just follow the main story line, it's not that slow to do that.

What I have been doing also is taking my newly rolled Factions' characters to Elona and I pick up the story line there & Heroes...flows really well.

Getting off noob island in Factions is very fast, and I really dislike the City for re-playability.

To help you, get a ferry to consulate docks and get max armor etc.

Then get a decent weapon and bobs your aunty!

I do find that istan takes a tad too long

i found a great way to level up fast and gain a shed load of sunspear points was to tag slong with my brother and 2 heroes when he does the Champions Dawn quest with a foreign character. I went in as a lvl 3...came out a lvl 8, and about 900-1000 sunspear promotion points. It can be easily done with 2 lvl 20s...naturally I return the favor when I has an elonian character.

The best thing is to lach onto a foreign character and do the land of heros quest (i think that is what it is called). Its the quest before consulate docks (for foreign characters only). Get a cap sig (from somewhere outside of noob island) and cap Warrior, Paragon, Necromancer, Monk and Dervish elites. Or you can take a foreign character and lach onto an Elonian and do quests. Some quests have bosses with Elonian elites. Good caping.

I just think its cool to see a low level character with max armor, runes, max weapon & off-hand, and a bunch of elites when still on Noob Island. I groan when I see a low level character with max stuff in areas they shouldn't be (like the Tyrian Desert, Island of Fire, Sorrows Furnace, etc).

If you don't care how your character looks, make a factions character. If you think about it, all you do is grab a secondary prof > minister cho's estate > some tengu errands > afflicted errands > zen daijun > done.

The only problem if you're making F to go to NF is that you can't get the cap sig quest which gives 2 free caps sigs XD. The F variant requires you to do a long quest before he offers the cap sig quest.

It can be very quick to get an Elonian character out of Istan if you are heading for Tyria or Cantha. All that needs to be done is getting your character to Kamadan, getting ferried to the docks, and then getting ferried from there to Tyria and/or Cantha.

So I just got NF and I am working on my first char there, if I go to Tyria or Cantha can I go back to Elona whenever I want to continue the quests and stuff?

Yes, you can now. They added level requirements to important quests so that if you level to high you can still continue.
