I found the instructions on Silan a little lacking at times. For instance, how many new players unwittingly get introduced to malus crafting? Or even know what Malus is? I've all seen new players wondering why they keep crafting q9 gear for a mission that needs q10+.
Over the years, I've also seen a lot of folks not know what amps are. Of course, you still see many of them casting with a sword... and often HA as well since Malus is never explained very well, leading many to just slap on the heaviest armor they can find. Enchants are never really explained at all, making people wonder what the Sap Recharge spell is for.
Not every new player is willing to ask in Uni for help, largely because many are not used to a helpful community like Ryzom's, and there aren't always people paying attention when they do. (Hard to believe, but most of us have lives away from Atys!) That makes the missing instructions on Silan even more problematic.
I agree that giving the q15 amps and Duellist Blade a bit sooner would help a lot. But I think Silan has other issues.
