The Hidden Forest

Could you make it level 1, and free? for all of us without gate?

The charm you get from the Queen renders that AA mostly useless

I think a lot of newer folks miss the charm because the newbie intro task that has you hail all the npcs in the forest doesn't force you to go through all of the queens dialog. Maybe it should update on saying Gift to her instead of the hail?

I just learned about the charm. The (name) is not magenta text that you can easily see when you hail her, so that could be one reason.

Good idea but not possible via the task system. I think it's just common sense to talk to the server greeter when starting out. We even refer to Queen Adrianne in several occasion (in the welcome message for new players, her name is Server Greeter, etc).

What about making it give the charm on hail if you don't have one?

Yeah, but that would look weird, right? 0 lore, you just say Hi to get the charm?

I'll think about it. Maybe we can remind players via the faeries when leaving the hub zone to claim their charm if they didn't yet.

Another option (since I'm bored at work and thinking of THF) might be to have a pop up box like was used in the tutorial zone come up after hailing the queen with a hint to learn more about The hidden Forest by continuing to talk to the queen.
