Question 1: I am having a bad bad time reading the purple text of whispers is there some way to change the color?
 
Question 2: I have stumbled on my first Shiphand/expedition/exploration or whatever it is called. I am level 6. Do I have to do it in the 6-14 range or can I wait a bit until I am a little more comfy with the game?
 
Thanks for any help.

ty I will look it up. Hopefully figuring out how to install addons is fairly straight forward.

Chat filters / settings should be in the chat options (can access from both the chat boxes themselves with a right click, I believe, and the main game menu maybe). 
 
You can do the shiphands at any level, but the rewards will be most usfeul if you do them within the recommended level range.

ok ty
 
Right clicking did not bring up any changeable settings for me other than turning off certain chats. :P Will go look again.
 
Yeah I just want to find the dang place before I do it is what it comes down to. At level 6 it looks like I am about halfway through Crimson and haven't found the entrance to the shiphand. It came up on the suggested content thingy though.
 
There is a reason I wear the "Easily Lost" Title in LOTRO. hehe
 
 
OOOOOO Shiny!
/me runs off to explore
Well darn where the *cupcake am I?

First shiphand should be in Deradune / Ellevar (I don't think it's on Crimson). I could be mistaken though, or they could have moved it. I actually don't know if I ever did Fragment zero from the actual ship location though... so maybe its in Crimson?)

So how do you do it if you do not go there to do it? Does it transport you to it?
 
Sorry I am that big a noob.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
you talk to the guy next to the space ship for the quest and then click on the ladder. that will transport where you need to go 
----
			
1) bunch of settings xD
2) I suggest doing those at the level it is available for the most part. The reason being is the item that you can loot for a gold medal. Typically (such as the first) will give you a badass assault ot support purple weapon that rivals anything up to the protogames quest.

Press ESC go to Chat, IIRC there is no option to change colors, but you can set chat window with the "black" background permanent.

It used to be just north of the first town in Deradune. Right next to the road on the left (as you're heading north)
 
They MAY have moved it with the new update... I haven't been back there to look :)
 
(edited 'cause I forgot it's in Deradune, not Crimson thingy)

Hey,
 
I've done a tutorial on the Curse Client set up, as well as in-depth guide on using ForgeUI (UI overhaul) addon as well. Feel free to take a look :)

Yeah being a 10 year vet of WoW I am pretty familiar with the curse client. I just prefer to manually install addons since at least on the WoW Side the Curse client has had some issues. I did find the instructions where to put them for Wildstar. I will definitely be checking out the video more since UI customization can be a pretty big deal. From the parts of your video I have watched so far it looks like that UI mod basically gives you the same functionality LOTRO has built into the default UI which is something I am going to really like.

Ok that is what I thought. I haven't found the spaceship yet :)
 
Just the thing in the suggested content thingy that says its open for me.

You can queue for the shiphands (expeditions now) using the group finder. I'm not sure if you have to actually find them in game first or if they open as soon as you're in the proper level range My money is on the latter. You can check the box to queue solo to instantly teleport just yourself to the shiphand instance if you wan't to solo it (they are all soloable).

The chat settings are easy to get to, there is a little cogwheel on the bottom right of the chat box. Click that to bring them up. I believe you can change the color but honestly I am not 100% sure. Haven't messed with them in a long time. 
 
As for the shiphand, you get lvl 6 gear from it so it is best to do early however they can be done at any lvl since the instance rallies you down if you are too high.

ok but um....groupfinder?
 
I haven't found that yet either ;)
 
Yep I am a noob

Managed to solo Planet Zero this morning. Got flattened 3 times but what FUN!
 
TY all for all of the help and information.
