I agree with the point about the lore token quests. You get 50 beginner tokens from the sequence of starting quests (or at least that's how many I ended up with). Once you deduct the tokens needed to buy the dex and focus chest scales for Avariatus (to make the helian/lunus scales), you've still got enough to buy 3 or 4 useful forms. That's about right I think, a good start for young hatchies. After that, it's right to work for your tokens. But the quests to do this really need to be on New Trismus, where the t1 resources are.
I think I finished all the quests with adv level 10, craft level 7, so some more craft levels are definately needed next. Having those quests to do, getting the missing spell and wing scale forms and making them would be ideal. Then hatchlings can move on to Kion better equipped for the level 10 adv quests.
Velea: I know any leftover trophy disks should always be sold to trophy hunters - that's why I said pawning them is not the best thing to do. Maybe I should have kept them to take to Kion with me later, but... nah, I wanted my copper pieces.
