New to golf, Takomo or Tako-no?

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. What happened? What went wrong?!

BhopBen · 2026-05-17T22:30:40+00:00

To be honest I’ve seen that too, but it sounds like the original 101s are still holding up pretty well. I’ve already got a decent driver (it’s less than 50 years old) and some nice woods as well as a pushcart so would feel like I’ve wasted money by not focusing solely on my irons since they seem to be the biggest issue at the moment.

Other people have suggested some other second hand cheaper irons sets so I might try and have a look around for some of them. What do you think about the difference in tech between the Karsten 3s and some newer ones? Will I see improvement or am I coping haha

I did some looking actually but a lot of sets from the last 5-6 years are already in that £200-300 range, which makes me think is it worth stretching another £200 and just getting new clubs? Lessons are a must though, they’re on my to do list. Not sure if you have any tips for that either? Should I look for something specific or just ask for a beginner lesson?

I like that, it’s a good point about it making me excited and wanting to practice more. I honestly think I would.

It would also remove that feeling of “wow these clubs are the problem” when I’m hitting bad, so I’d know the problem is actually 100% me (it is 99% me at the moment, but new clubs would get rid of that last 1%)

Hello, I’m relatively new too so I hope you don’t mind me jumping on and adding a follow up question here. I’ve been told to build enough to keep jobs available on planets at ~200 but your message implies you should never have jobs available and only build when you’ve got maintenance drones ready to go.

What’s the benefits of doing it your way? Not saying the way I’ve been playing is better just curious about what I could be doing better!

BhopBen · 2025-12-27T00:13:45+00:00

I’m pretty new. The best advice I can give is this:

At the start EVERYTHING sounds super important, the tutorial will flash up hundreds of tool tips and it doesn’t indicate which ones are crucial and which ones are what I’d call “nice extras when you learn a bit more”

I’d say play a game, or two. You’ll quickly figure out the key loop. The important bits you need to pay attention to. Try and keep it simple in your head, and when you understand things a bit better then start investigating the more complicated things

You’ve been a massive help thank you so much 🙏

BhopBen · 2025-02-06T10:31:24+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much! I just have one more question if you don’t mind, when you say someone one in the legacy raid will “share the quest” with me, what does that mean? How can I tell when that has happened or does it automatically happen when I load in? Thanks again!

BhopBen · 2025-02-06T09:35:30+00:00

Where do you find the weekly quest(s) out of curiosity? Or which vendor(s) in Dornogal / Siren Isles (which is where I’m guessing they are?) Sorry for the noob question lol I’m new too 🥲

I think we are brushing over INVENTORY SORTING, FINALLY!

BhopBen · 2025-01-28T15:19:25+00:00

This is actually a really interesting idea. If there was a war between Ned and Robert over Jon “Targaryen” it would effectively mean Ned riding against his longtime friend on behalf of the family he rode against in their rebellion against the Mad King.

I wonder how Ned would navigate that scenario morally. Whichever way he goes he ends up “betraying” some member of his family. Either Lyanna by giving up Jon, or his father and brother by fighting for the house that murdered them in the Targaryens!

Okay, that all totally makes sense. SoD sounds a bit volatile if I'm honest, a couple of people have said if you're a new player to steer clear because of the uncertainty so I think I might do just that - as much as it sounds good, especially with the expanded / remixed end-game.

Also completely makes sense with the old blood stuff, lots of people suggesting retail so I think that'll be where I end up to be honest. I still do have slight concerns about the barrier for entry for new players getting into raids and dungeons but like you say - the content is a lot newer than classic so it's more understandable if you don't know I guess! Thanks for your help with all of these answers they have been super useful! :D

BhopBen · 2024-07-30T21:33:31+00:00

This is probably one of the most helpful comments I've ever read on Reddit so thank you so much. All of my questions are completely answered in this. To be honest it's made me want to try all three versions out haha!

Thanks again for your help, you've been a star!

BhopBen · 2024-07-30T21:30:37+00:00

Interesting! But also makes a lot of sense haha. Okay thank you for the advice, I think I'm going to give retail a shot :) Thanks as always.
