## Tactics

In order to avoid excessive traveling, it's recommended to check ahead and craft the items you'll need for future quests (up to The Warrior Returns, which will keep you away for a while anyway).

CoL has a lot of quests that go well together, however a lot of the creatures from earlier quests are fought again later, so some quests are worth putting aside for a bit.

The Corridor Side Quests chain, unlocked by Blisk's Stone Stories (1/10) is worth picking up right away, and completed up to (including) Noanza's Bright Beliefs (9/10). Some of the reasons for that are:

* The battles needed for Payment for Accounts (6/10) could be done while working on the main quest line.
* Some of the quest rewards are battle items, which will otherwise not be available until completing You Want What? (and will cost resources to craft).
* Completing Payment for Tales (8/10) unlocks Noanza, which is the best source of Fusion Glass in the game so far. This will come in handy towards the end of this area.
* Some of the items needed for these quests might already be in your inventory, or crafted fairly easily.
