Tips for new players
Drake rental
You start with 15 shrooms. After confirming your email you gain 10, for a total of 25. The best investment with these is the Dragon mount rental from the Stables. This will half all your quest time, meaning you can do twice as many for 14 days! This is a huge bonus to start out with, and is strongly recommended.
Shroom drops
The droprate of shrooms from quests is 8% when not mounted, and 5% when mounted. Since this droprate is per quest, it's likely ideal to do short quests as much as possible unless there's a specific reason to do a long quest.
Dungeons
You can get the first dungeon key from a quest from lvl10 on, 2nd key at lvl20. You can only clear dungeons once. When you kill a mob in a dungeon, you get gold/XP OR and item. If you get an item, there's a chance for it to be epic. The item you get depends on your level, if you are level 20 when you beat a lvl25 monster, you get a lvl20 item IF you get one. Since you can only defeat each one once, it's likely ideal to wait to be the same level as the monster.
XP quests > gold
Since the mob level in dungeons rise up pretty steep, and since XP is often the best investment anyways (higher lvl means more gold from guard duty for example), I strongly believe doing quests that provide XP over gold are the best choice.
