I dug supernodes when I was a new player....anyone can when they train PR dig hard enough. Plenty of people gave me recipes or taught me about crafting as well. You just gotta be nice to people to get help. I think there are some good learning resources out there but perhaps putting them all in one place for new players might help them find those resources. Boss respawns....its mostly luck and persistence. As for the break dancing, I'm jealous too! ;)
