Piet, thanks. You saved me from having the same explanation

Unixasas, true, those dinoz are stronger, but in order to advance faster it will be best to have a Cloudoz or a Glidwings. The Cloudoz can be gathering several different ingredients (including Lightning) while the Glidwings can gather Air Energies faster and can be sold on the market for some nice piles of gold.
About the missions - Go to the Grandpa Joe's House to get missions from him. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT do the second mission before you reach level 5 or more. Actually do the missions this way:
- Fresh fish
- Rosebush in danger
- The recipe book
- The Hills' Smashrooms
- The lost dog
- Go to Bruteforce, talk to Madam X and do (ONLY) the first two missions. You can skip this if/when you are Level 7. The first mission you will fight a Gluton when you click on "Trap"
- Go back to Granda Joe and do The stamps
- The confidential letter
- Wolf hunting
- Strange monster
Why? If you are 99XP and you need 100XP for level and you fight, you will get only 1XP. If you complete a mission you will get the full XP from it (you will go over the required for the level). If you do The lost dog in the beginning you will end up losing some experience, because at level 2 you will have like 112XP while you need 115XP for level up. If you go for the other missions the lost XP is lower 90% of the time.
When you reach lvl 7 you will fight 3 mushrooms for "The stamps" mission (you need to kill 15) so 6 turns (5x3 + 1 for resting) will take less time than 8 turns fighting 2 mushrooms. Do the wolves mission last (level

because this way you will fight 2 wolves per turn and you need to beat 2 wolves to advance to the next location. Even if you rest from time to time you will still need 5 turns + 1-2 resting, while otherwise you will need 9 turns to complete the mission.
And get flight
