typically how long should it take me to be able to stop punching things in the face and get a weapon? snakes don't particularly like geting punched in the face. mabey if i poke em with a stick that would be better. oh and how manny silver in a gold or is that compleetly seperate?
You can post in the fun n' games forum and earn copper. Copper is worth less then silver, but you can buy a newbie weapon in the Newbie store, as that shop takes copper.
The newbie weapon can (usually) do 6 damage per hit, but it depends on how much strength you have.
