Newbie dragon here, any tips?

[Charaxiphare]

Legit just finished the tutorial a few days ago.
Any tips for a beginner (without getting spoilery? I want to go in as "blind" as possible)
Also here's the inevitable stupid question, is it possible to ascend a dragon while on the free subscription? (I see that there's a level cap for schools but wanted to be sure that if that applies to character level or not?)
Thanks guys, I've wanted to play this game for years but only just recently got the chance (figured out how to get it to work on my mac)

Hiya and welcome.
*cough* I'm the spoiler.... err... doing the spoilers but I gotta try to get you some not-too-spoilered info. As far as I can see you cannot ascend on the free subscription, because you are limited to level 15. To be able to ascend needs you to have skills and levels about, I don't know? Beneath level 15 for sure. (Not spoiled, did I!). Level 15 is the hard limit you can get quests, and since the ascension is a 'reward' of a quest beneath that, you'll fail to make it.

However. It's well worth it to pay a fee!

Cheers!

Yeah, that makes sense, I just wanted to be sure.
At the moment I can't pay but I'm going to use my free-access to try the game out and see what I think of it in the mean time. Thank you for your help!

The minimum level requirements for ascension are 30 adventure, 20 crafting, which unfortunately cannot be achieved on a free subscription.

Yeah, that makes sense. Hopefully I'll be able to afford a subscription soon, I'm enjoying the game so far!
