Anarchy Online: Newbie Island Guide

[dianabrous]

[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.
