    Brandon is a really nice fellow... and will get you started with some easy quest for some nice gear and meds... Please Note that doing the First Aide / Mob part quest will be your only source of meds once you use up your initial start up meds...

    Monsters!!!

    Here is a listing of all the common mobs you can expect to run into on the Island.
    ==================================================
    Rubi Ka Mobs:

    Island Reet: Your Money Maker on Noob Island. Drops: Take me to the Shop! and several types of Gems, Rings, and Bracers. These items are the Best Selling Items Ingame on Noob Island!!! You will get about 160 credits apiece for them at the Neutral Vendor… or about 200 credits apiece for them at the Sided Vendors (with about 20 computer literacy).
    Also Drops Reet Beak used in tradeskill process.
    Also Drops various types of buffing / damage rings from time to time.
    You receive 5 credits from the corpse.

    Beach Leet: Drops Spinal Section used in tradeskill process. You receive 1 credit from the corpse.

    Shore Snake: Drops Venom Sample used in tradeskill process. You receive 5 credits from the corpse.

    Surf Lizard: You receive 1 credit from the corpse.

    Tropical Stalker: Drops Stalker Limb used in tradeskill process. You received 11 credits from the corpse.

    Reef Salamander: Drops Salamander Bile and Swatch of Salamander Skin used in tradeskill process. You received 11 credits from the corpse.

    Cliff Malle: Drops Bone Plates and Malle Skull used in tradeskill process. You receive 3 credits from the corpse.

    Rollerrat: Drops Rollerrat Intestines used in tradeskill process. Also drops Undamaged Piece of Rubbery Rollerrat Flesh used on Mainland for tradeskill stuff… Also drops Undamaged Roller-Rat tail used in the Rat Turbo quest on the mainland… So make sure to save those... You receive 5 credits from the corpse.

    Cargo Droid: Drops Power Supply and Optical Enhancer used in tradeskill process. You receive 5 credits from the corpse.

    Waste Collector: Drops Fluid Sample and Fuel Chamber and Compression Chamber used in tradeskill process. You received 11 credits from the corpse.

    Special Edit: Cargo Droids and Waste Collectors also drop quest items for the 1st shoulderpad quest on the mainland... so don't throw those away... will update with list later...

    ==================================================

    Alien Mobs!

    Alien Spider – Zix: No loot drops. You
    receive 17 credits from the corpse.

    Scout - Jaax'Sinuh: the mainstead of the alien mobs... ql 8-13...
    Loot Drops:
    Kyr'Ozch Sledgehammer
    Kyr'Ozch Sword
    Kyr'Ozch Energy Rapier
    and
    Solid Clump of Kyr'Ozch Bio-Material Note: 100% of bio material that I looted is 'of Kyr'Ozch Viral Serum (Making high QL buildings).
    You receive 66 credits from the corpse.

    Specialist - Cha 'Heru: The ultimate 'Boss' mob on Noob Island... randomly spawns between ql 9 - 13. FAST respawn when killed... usually about 60 seconds. Note: after targeting him... pull him off to the side somewhere to prevent / reduce the number of adds...

    Loot:
    Kyr'Ozch Submachine Gun
    Kyr'Ozch Carbine
    Kyr'Ozch Rifle
    and
    Solid Clump of Kyr'Ozch Bio-Material Note: 100% of bio material that I looted is 'of Kyr'Ozch Viral Serum (Making high QL buildings). So if you are wetting your pants dreaming of farming tradeskill bio material for weapons upgrades, armor, etc... keep dreaming...

    Note: It is very disappointing that No Pistols or Machine Pistols have dropped off of the specialist. When it was learned that he was dropping ranged weapons many of us had hoped or presumed that pistols / machine pistols would be included in the mix. So... either he Does Not drop them... or the drop rate is Ultra Rare... If anyone has looted pistols / machine pistols on Noob Island... please share the details with us...

    Hmm... forgot how many credits you get from the corpse...


    ==================================================

    Dyna Bosses!!!

    Please Note that Several Various NAMED Bosses tend to rotate spawns at the sites listed below… The ‘Educated Guess’ is that certain named bosses are more prone to drop certain types of loot than others… but this is uncomfirmed…

    Snake: Pos: 998.9, 780.9, 22.4.
    Slitherslidder the Envenomed
    Poisoncoil of the Pit
    Poisoncoil the Envenomed

    Furyspine the Wasteland Roller
    Wickedspine the Waste Roller

    Little Robot: Pos: 955.7, 1025.3, 23.3. Note: RK1 (Atla-Server) for some reason this boss does not seem to spawn or time to spawn takes freaking forever. So… you are S.O.L…
    Servoslave Hyper-VZ599-Z45
    Servomind Hyper-VZ599-Z45


    Big Bot: Pos: 1022.1, 1000.4, 25.5.
    Short-circuit the TechnoSlave

    Hmm... if I ever camp the island again I'll try to update some more info on the dyna bosses...

    Update: The list of possible names seems unending... It seems that the mobs have First Names, (Middle Names?), and Last Names that can be combined in multiple combinations... So... if there are 10 possible First names... that can be combined with 10 possible Last Names... Then gives ONE HUNDRED possible variants on each Dyna Boss's name...

    The complete list probably won't be available... Ever... because it is such a time sink, lol.

    Armor

    Newcomer’s Armor - Anyone can wear this stuff... and it is the base item used in the tradeskill process to create Joint Clan Newcomer’s Armor and Omni- Tek Newcomer's Armor.

    http://aomainframe.info/showitem.aspx?AOID=248273]Newcomer's Body Armor[/URL] random QL’s below QL 15.
    http://aomainframe.info/showitem.aspx?AOID=248269]Newcomer's Boots[/URL] random QL’s below QL 15.
    http://aomainframe.info/showitem.aspx?AOID=248277]Newcomer's Gloves[/URL] random QL’s below QL 15.
    http://aomainframe.info/showitem.aspx?AOID=248271]Newcomer's Pants[/URL] random QL’s below QL 15.
    http://aomainframe.info/showitem.aspx?AOID=248275]Newcomer's Sleeves[/URL] random QL’s below QL 15.

    Sided Armor: All around some of the best low ql armor in the game. It is made by turning Newcomer's Armor into Sided Armor via a tradeskill process... the sided 'glyphs' aka Badges can be bought from the sided NPC vendors... Note: the sided armor levels up as you level (just right click on it... careful not to overlevel it)... and caps out at level 15...

    Joint Clan Newcomer’s Armor:
    Joint Clan Newcomer's Body Armor
    Joint Clan Newcomer's Boots
    Joint Clan Newcomer's Gloves
    Joint Clan Newcomer's Pants
    Joint Clan Newcomer's Sleeves

    Omni- Tek Newcomer's Armor:
    Omni-Tek Newcomer's Body Armor
    Omni-Tek Newcomer's Boots
    Omni-Tek Newcomer's Gloves
    Omni-Tek Newcomer's Pants
    Omni-Tek Newcomer's Sleeves

    Dyna Boss loot - Professional Armor: Special Note: These armors no longer drop ingame on the Island as of the 15.9 patch... but I'm leaving this section here so you will know what to look for on the mainland. Keep in mind that these armors can be found up to ql 200 elsewhere ingame... Hey Funcom! Please bring these armors back to Noob Island! Proffesion specific armor: yes it does drop... but the effort to collect a full set of matching ql makes the effort pointless... The Sided Newcomer Armor is Far easier to get and is an all around solid best bet... Note: ql 6 - 8 seems to be the best you can hope for... Special Note: Per Reports that people have sent me... it seems the dyna boss loot drop rate was Nerfed after the 15.9 patch. Anyone that has a farming toon on the island... please let us know about this... thanks...

    Dyna Boss Loot - Nanos and Rings

    Non-buyable nanos - Dyna boss loot:

    NanoCrystal (Relieving Salve)
    NanoCrystal (Lesser Suppressor)
    NanoCrystal (Limited Grid Jump (Team))

    Special Note: Sorry guys... as of the 15.9 patch these nanos no longer drop ingame on the island. However, the nanos are still available from the nano vendor, so no worries.

    Rings - Dyna Boss Loot

    The bad news here is that since the 15.9 patch the Ring of Presence (adds + to nano skills) no longer drops on the island. However, 1% XP Rings, Ring of Luck - Offensive (adds +1 to Offense) and various damage rings do still drop... Projectiles, Physics, Elements, Energy, etc.

    General Observations and Common Questions

    under construction... check back later

    If I leave Noob Island... Can I come back later? No. It is a one time deal. Enjoy it while you can. Once your toon leaves... you can never go back.
    How do I get back to Noob Island?
    You can't. You won't. You don't. You will have to roll a new toon if you want to play there again.

    What is the max level cap for Noob Island?
    Popular belief is that you get kicked out on your 20th ding...

    How many AI levels can I get at Noob Island? Technically you can get 3 AI levels from Noob Island. However... this requires you to stay on the Island until you are level 15. On your 15th ding you will have 2 AI levels... and can fill up and max out your axp pool for the 3rd AI level. Once you are on the mainland, and reach your 25th ding, you will automatically receive a 3rd AI level. REMEMEBER TO HAVE THE AXP POOL FULL AND TO IMMEDIATELY SAVE WHEN YOU REACH THE MAINLAND!!!

    If I chose a faction... then change my mind... can I switch sides? Yes and No. Technically yes... but it is a very difficult process.
    1) you will have to get Both the clan application and the omni application Before you chose a faction for the 1st time. Most of the recruiters won't even talk to you, let alone give you an application, if you have already chosen sides.
    2) once you have chosen a side... you have to wait At Least 3 hours before you can change factions again...
    3) if you have SL expansion pack... you may be required to have a certain amount of faction Before you will be allowed to switch sides... and there is no way to get faction on Noob Island...
    4) The above is based on a Level 1 noob toon... the higher your level the more difficult and the more restrictions will be placed on allowing you to switch factions...

    At this level of the game it would be far easier to just roll a new toon. As for Noob Island... after you chose a faction... the other recruitment officers will refuse to speak with you...

    There is only One Advantage is taking the time to endure this type of misery ingame... For those of you that want to create a uber Clan tweak... Join Omni first... then go run the Omni shoulderpad quest to get Omni-Tek Shoulderpad and put them on. You should also get the Omni sided armor... as its stats are better than the clan sided armor...Next… spend your time running from dyna boss to dyna boss and loot anything others leave behind. You need to earn 14k to buy Omni-Tek Smelling Salts and Omni-Tek Technical Library. Then Go Clan. Note: Remember not to take off any of your omni gear or you will not be able to put it back on. 2nd Note: there are some issues about what the highest level you can be to switch sides on Noob Island and have Smelling Salts equiped…

    I just logged in, but the friend I want to team with is in a different 'instance' of the island... how do we meet up? Go to the Teleport Tower and go inside. Now you are in a different zone... it is instanced too... but so few people are in there that chances are you can easily meet up with your friend inside...

    Why won't anyone buff me? Because they don't have the nano!!! Silly Rabbit! There is no where to buy nano recharge kits... so It Takes Forever To Regain Your Nano Pool. And if they have to chose between casting a buff on themselves once or twice an hour... or go without buffs because they spent their nano on you... well... that is an easy choice to make.
    Most two man teams can ration their nano and keep each other buffed... but for 3 - 6 man teams you will need to find a NT to befriend. They can cast a HE buff on you that increases the rate your nano pool recharges on its own...

    Where can I buy MEDS or AMMO. You can't buy those on Noob Island.

    Where can I find a surgery clinic to install implants? There are no surgery clinics on Noob Island. The only hope is to loot a portable surgery clinic off of one of the Dyna Bosses... but so far as I know... no-one has ever had any luck with that...

    How do I get in the Alien Mother Ship? If you find out, let me know

    Are there any mission terminals, insurance terminals, or Fair Trade Shops on the Island? Are there any 'Dungeons' or 'Mother Ship' missions we can do on Noob Island. Nope. If there are... I and everyone else have yet to find them... Email or Petition Funcom and ask them to add it to the list of Content Improvements they might get around to...
    ================================================== =======

    Ok... for those of you creaming your pants thinking of farming Noob Island for uber loot to tweak your Subway twink or low level pvp twink... here are some details on the loot drops...

    Ok... Lets get the bad news out of the way first... if you are dreaming of farming low ql pistols, machine pistols, alien armor and related alien tradeskill items, or low level alien crit scopes ect ect ect then you are dreaming in vain...

    After farming for several days, the above mentioned items have Never Dropped... and although the above mentioned items Can Be Found in AO Vault database at qls that would seem to be found on the island...it would seem that FC doesn't want us creating level 5 God Twinks with Alien Armor and dual welded pistols / machine pistols.

    Then how do you get the above mentioned items that Do Not drop at Noob Island? A few of us have kicked around the idea of creating a small low ql org / city to farm the items from ultra low alien raids... if anyone is already doing this... post your experiance / sucess on the forums please...

    A few notes on the island... The highest ql spawn of the various alien mobs seems to be ql 13... Loot drops at ql 1 - 16... with the best ql loot dropping off of the ql 12 - 13 aliens. There are 8 or 9 bosses on the island... 4 or 5 of them scattered on the beach where you crash land, 2 Bot bosses on the docks, and 1 Alien boss Specialist - Cha 'Heru in the middle shuttleport landing pad area...

    As for the Non Alien bosses... the interesting thing to note here is that although their location and spawn frequency seems to be 'fixed'... the Name of the boss that spawns at the location tends to change... as does the variety of loot that drops with the boss... and some have noted that certain types of proffesional armor or tweaking rings tend to drop off of certained named bosses more often... but no one has taken the time to document it yet as it is a major timesink...

    Conclusions

    under construction... check back...

    Conclusion:

    Unless you are trying to create Super Twinks to hold a level 10 base... Noob Island offers little for your efforts there...

    As for preparing a Subway Twink... the sided armor you can create at Noob Island will serve well... and the weapons upgrades are nice... but better can be twinkled on once you get to Rubi Ka...

    As for the Alien weapons... if your intent is to tweak a Subway twink... your best bet is to try to buy a QL 50ish version of the alien weapon and find a way to equip it... otherwise the loot available on Noob Island is just nice to have and may allow you to power level just a little bit farther before you have to worry about getting new updated gear... If you intent is to create a lvl 5 or lvl 10 tower twink... be prepared to spend some $$$ on the mainland to upgrade your alien weapons...

    By far the best twinkle loot I have seen there so far is the Ring of Presence... and everyone should have 2 before they leave... other rings do drop there... but I am out of game at the moment so I can't reference them... I'll update at some point in the future...

    Some camp the island and then dual log a mule to send out loot to sell... and some have managed, with the help of a few friends, to create guilds and run full teams on the island using dual accounts... i.e. 3 persons each dual logged...

    However... Noob Island is Instanced! If you are attempting to meet up with friends... remember to rally with them inside the teleport tower...

    Now... with all that said... If anyone is interested in creating an ultra low org city... Noob Island is a good place to farm syrum... and to quickly level, equip, and semi tweak ql 5 - 10 toons...
