Fighting style change

You also may wish to consider NPCing for an event, or even for a few extra shifts. It allows you to be cast in multiple roles, during which you will have the opportunity to play with a variety of fighting styles. It's also a great way to earn extra service, which is always a boon for newer players. One additional benefit is that you will have some OOG downtime in logistics between being sent out to [strike]die horribly[/strike] roleplay with your fellow players, during which you can ask questions about the game and get opinions on fighting from others.

If I just do an extra shift or 2, will I get SP? or do I have to NPC for a whole exent to get SP?

For every extra hour you NPC, you get 150sp.

You can also earn SP by helping in the kitchen - washing dishes, filling bottles, setting up feast, and cleaning up after. It has the added advantage of introducing you to lots of people IG, many of whom know lots of other people.

Thanks! I really want to meet as many people as I can. Getting extra build is a must for me too because I want to learn a new profession soon.

If your looking to help in the kitchen. I've done it every game that I've been there and its actually lots of fun and you get to meet a lot of people as mentioned above. I really recommend it to meet people. However since this is about fighting styles if you NPC an extra shift or two you can get a little more experience with weapons and what you like using. Example I've learned that I am terrible with small shields and need to work on them, thanks to everyone.
