Believe it or not, there are still new players finding their way into this game. It used to be a simple thing to advise new players when they asked how to prioritize the items to go after in the event merchant. But with so many different items available now for extraordinary prices that they might not even begin to be able to approach, I barely know what to begin telling a new player when the question comes up. Right now I'm thinking that if a new player could only afford one item during the event, the geologist might be the most useful thing.
I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on this question: How would you advise a new player (maybe in the level 20s to 30s) on how to prioritize which items to try to get during the Valentine's event?
