I know this may appear really vague(sp) while your new, but keep your eyes open for signs to help you along your way through the Academy. If memory serves me right, there is even a sign by the veteran that should help you a lot.

But in general, quests are best solved and gotten help with in game. We don't mean to sound like a bunch of jack asses on the subject, it's just the way things are.

At any rate. Good Luck, and keep at it! You'll figure it out.
