I thought I would let readers know of the sorts of services that exist in the larger urban areas where no fighting is allowed. These are the places to come to see what quests are on offer by the various NPCs that frequent the urban area. The biggest is Kingshill, but there are many more. The Resistance Command Centre is where my Ranger and other characters before him went to get quests. My Ranger, Oakhand has reached Level 32 and now operates in a viking area, out of Jarlshofen urban centre. I have a second character, a Spellweaver (Mirageman, Level 38), still active who is in a Greek urban centre, Elonidis, but I play him only rarely since my Ranger got good advice, re longbows and this is my preferred character. I find that one character is enough, as a sort of main character.
Other services on offer in most urban areas are also important. An animal trainer, usually a giant of a human (look for the sign of a horseshoe on your local map), sells mounts. I make do with the cheapest sold for gold, a riding horse. But mounts come in all shapes and sizes! The most expensive are usually dragons.
There is also often a dwarf who offers storage of items that can be collected and left there, at no charge.
There is also a smithy, where character's armour can be mended for a few silver coins. I always go to the smithy as soon as I see the warning of damaged armour. I have found that if you delay more of your equipment is damaged and mending can cost more.
There are also NPCs who sell potions that heal, that give a boost of concentration (for Rangers), mana (for Spellbinders) or whatever your specific character type needs. The healing ones are the most common.
There is also a Travel Post, to travel to areas that you can go to. The first time your character goes to an area he has to journey there by foot or mount first, to be subsequently able to go there by the Travel Post for a few silver coins.
