[Notice] Beginner's Guide to the Hollows: Selecting the right workplace
Commissions on Inter-Knot generally include these three things: where to go, what to do, and what to give.
Newcomers tend to focus on the latter two, and care little about "where to go" — they're all going into a Hollow anyway, so who cares which one?
This thinking could cost you your life. Hollows are not all the same, and each has its own characteristics: the terrain, the Ether environment, and the Ethereals inhabiting them can all be different. Rushing into a workplace that doesn't match your abilities can result in loss of life.
New Inter-Knot users can choose what work they take on according to their own ability based on the official Hollow classifications.
1) Original Hollows (not recommended for novices)
Cretan, Lemnian, Hawara, Pursenas, Solove and Papago — As the six primary hollows they are large in scale, with complex environments, Ethereals of varying strength and many other characteristics best suited to veteran Proxies and Hollow Raiders.
2) Companion Hollows (recommended for novices)
A sub-Hollow resulting from the expansion of a certain primary Hollow is termed a "companion Hollow." They are smaller in scale and possess lower Ether concentrations, making them suitable places for newcomers to engage in commissions. There are exceptions, however, such as the infamous "Dead End Hollow." Gather information, listen to the opinions of others, and carefully consider your own abilities before choosing the right Hollow to enter.
Lonely Streetlights
Dangerous commissions in the big Hollows usually have a set Inter-Knot Level. They aren't something a rookie can take on.
Paradoxical Vortex
For sure. Anyone with a big commission who lets a novice mess it up should feel awful.
Archaeoceti
It's not great for any experienced Proxy who starts a new account though. Doesn't matter how good you are, you have to start from the low level "Go find my cat in the Hollow" commissions. They should let you inherit the Inter-knot level of a previous account.
