Just knowning it is possible should be enough in my opinion. If I had known it was possible back when I started, I would have made it a point to ask around, within the game, to find out how to do it. Reading how to do it in a FAQ holds no appeal to me. I like to either figure something out myself in game or atleast have someone help me figure it out in game.

As far as the rest of what Nep wrote, again, these are all big mistakes I made when I first started. I would stick around in a fight I didn't start, thinking I would learn more. Eventually I realized I can not learn much from a flight I only lasted 2 rounds in. Seeing that fire giant running down Eastern road, and thinking to myself "I have never met or did anything to him, what do I have to worry about?" Only to have him come up and bash me down and quickly. It took me two characters to figure out "just because I don't know them doesn't mean they don't want to kill me." Now I assume EVER person I see in EVER area I am in wants to kill me unless I have a very good reason to believe they don't. And even then I'm still proceeding carefully.

I have been that guy who got crushed by an axe wielding giant, so I made one myself thinking I will crush others! Only to get beat on more than a red headed step child.

It is true there is no better way to learn than by doing, but I think the FAQ that Nep made will be something that can only help a new player greatly. Anymore info in it would have been just too much. Somethings you just need to learn for yourself.
