Newbie Guide:
Have you gained a combat skill yet?
As a rule, novices acquire an attack skill first, and then learn Rest in Peace, a healing skill, and then passive skills like Weapon Mastery or Armor Mastery. It is, of course, your choice to make, but my personal preference is to obtain Weapon Mastery first. Either skill will come in useful, though.
You may upgrade the skills you have learned when you reach level 10. It is wise, of course, to increase the skills you're already using most.
You will find that learning to effectively use a bow will make a great difference in the way you hunt, but doing so will require both adena and MP. Though I must say, it is not a weapon well suited for us Orcs.
