I keep seeing this game appear and it looks like it's perfectly up my alley, but I've tried it several times and I just cannot find out how to advance. It just seems to take an eternity of grind to get anywhere... if other people have a different impression, can you please share with me some tips for getting anywhere in a timely fashion?
Follow the WK on front page of this site (ask for help if something isnt working the early WK stuff is slightly dated)
I would say focus on the Temple & Tower questlines while also doing side quests (often if you cannot do a quest at that moment then another quest will most likley give you what you need). Speak to the Mayor about other jobs & focus on the Witch/Temple until u get the Chalice. Try & do all the town quests before u leave (some will seem like they just stop or cant be continued, dont worry u just need to activate another quest requirment or get a new skill)
Then travel north-east through the Goblin Forest to reach the Tower. Focus on those quests until Erevi is pregnant & u vought her clothing. After that return to the Witch & do her quests until the Temple is restored. After that juggle main quests as they come & do side quests. Alot of quests also require LIs to get preg/give birth in order to continue there stories.
Theres also a cheat room u can enter (tiny hut next to guard tower) using the key u can get from a skeleton south-west of the town.
