Hello all Lady Louise here apprentice to Lady Catherine. Have been wandering around the kingdom leveling up my sword and Staff. Lucky I had as I came across a rat hiding in the sewers, and one nasty looking goblin. Going to kick back and relax a while before I go off questing.
Thank you Sophie, it’s been a tough few months.

Quests In ProgressSuggested quests(view spoiler)[Some quests I recommend for newer players:
Should I Know This? (Repeatable every 3 months, ask 3 questions about the game in the Local Tavern and boom! You get 3 XP and 3 Gold for that)
The Future Present is Now (Nice number of books/reward ratio, for only 3 books you get 5 XP and a Potion Token)
The Blackest Eye (once you start killing Drop Bears this quest is a must: 5 XP and 3 Potion Tokens)
The Hairstyle Theft (only 3 books and 6 XP and 1 Potion Token? Fantastic reward!)
Robbing Robin Hood (once you start killing Brown Bats)
✔️ The Easter Bilby (to get a pet, your very own bunny, that brings you 1 chocolate egg every Sunday. The egg will heal you for 3 HP)
More Berries (turn it in only when you're in need of instant healing so you take advantage of that + 10 HP bonus)
Teach a Knight to Fish - Part 1 (Spell out ROD for quick and easy 10 XP)
Barbie's Ken (if non-fiction is your jam)
Cheaters Sometimes Prosper (because it's not only quick and easy but super fun - and demands you must cheat)
The Academy - part II
The Academy (now this quest is expired - you can still complete it if you use a Timewalking Potion. Luckily, it's been included in your Welcome Basket - so take advantage of that).
Santa's Little Helper (in December - Santa's Coupon is a fantastic reward)

Looking at the quests I take it if it says expired that the quest isn’t available
I’ve set up my thread
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... and level’d up my weapons.
My reading averages about 12-15 books a month although from June through August this year my reading took a big hit when my partner became seriously ill and passed away.
I have returned to my previous level of reading and with the pandemic resulting in me working from home I have leaned towards more audio books.
I have stored 3 books from my welcome basket to level up weapons.

Queen Skye is having some trouble enforcing laws in her kingdom after the death of her husband King Forest. You are a new recruit in the kingdom of Novel. Prove your worth to the kingdom and obtain glory for Her Majesty (with some of your own personal glory thrown in)."Inside the Handbook
(view spoiler)[ Leveling
"You obtain levels when experience is achieved. You collect experience points by completing quests and killing monsters. Leveling up heals your hero fully and increases the HP available by 2 per level."

Book Reserve
"The best part about Novel Kingdom is their fabulous research department. They've constructed a Tote of Infinite Books and handed them out to all the new recruits. This allows you to store up any books you've read until you're ready to use them. Just keep them listed at the bottom of your adventure log until they're applied to a task."
Rereads
A notice in the local Tavern indicates a book can be reread and used again after six months.
Spell-It-Out Rules
☞ the first letter in the book's title
☞ the first letter in the series
☞ the first letter in the author's first or last name
☞ the first letter of a character's first, last, or nick-name
"As always, if the first letter of a title starts with an indefinite or definite article ('A', 'An', 'The', etc.), you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word."
Book Cover Colors
Color Extraction: https://labs.tineye.com/color/
Specific Words Needed
"General guidance for finding words in the title is that unless it's specifically stated otherwise it's fine to use another variant of the same word. i.e. Northern for North is fine but Beast for East would not be since they're not indicating the same thing."
Health
Healing Potions
Using a healing potion does NOT use a turn in battle. Your hero can use a healing potion and then immediately attack.
Hitting Zero HP in a Fight
"You cannot attack monster if your health is at 0. If you hit the exact 0 HP you can heal and do another attack."
