Arelith

This is more of a suggestion, but I'll at least begin with some feedback first.

When starting a new character you start at lvl 3, with 0 adventure exp stored, and I've felt for a while that it incentivizes starting writs and right off the get go, because exploring screens inside a settlement doesnt really live up to much of the adventure exp you want for those fat 100 exp ticks.

Now, I dont speak for others but it really sucks to delve into deep and meaningful and long RP with 0 adventure exp in the bank. I'll do it sometimes, but it stings a bit and especially at lvl 3. And if I'm not alone in this then I think we should do something to relieve the pressure to stack adventure exp and open (more widely) the option to start RPing at lvl 3 in the city and create connections.

I suggest a new character will start with 1000 adventure exp in the bank that represents the speedy deliveries or the long journey to Arelith from god knows where.

I think this is a great idea and I lend my full and worthless support given my station. I almost think you should start with 3000 adventure XP. Then, if you wanted, you could spend your whole first level RP'ing. Just a thought.

I also think this might be an avenue for additional gifts, given the new focus on adventure xp.
Minor Gift - 10,000 starting adventure XP
Normal Gift - 25,000 starting adventure XP
Greater Gift - 50,000 starting adventure XP

I know we are always looking for gifts that foster RP and not mechanics.

The ECL gifts are much less valuable now with the new writ system so tacking some adventure XP to them as well would be cool.

I love it. Maybe not these exact numbers but I love the concept of the idea. ECL reduction is indeed more worthless than ever, as said in the post above.

For those who may have forgotten, -adventure turns on adventure mode and gives you 100% xp bonus to adventure pool while still offering you 50% instant xp from kills. It super handy on a new character so you can get to RP quickly.
