INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Quests are the best way to level your character, so do whatever quests you can find. If you plan on leveling more than one class, you may need to plan out what quests you do when, but you will want to be sure that you are generally doing quests. Guild Leaves are a good way to get XP and level your character. These are time-limited quests which are received from the Adventurer’s Guild. The tasks can be battle oriented or simply be a request to fetch items or craft items. FATEs are randomly generated battles which occur as you travel around the world. Any players in the area can participate and the XP and rewards are determined only by how much you contribute to the battle. These are a great way to get XP, so make sure to get out on the road every now and again! It doesn’t matter if someone else is fighting a creature: you can join in to help! Players will not lose anything by getting help in a battle. The first person to engage an enemy will always receive 100% of the associated XP. You can level grind by fighting the small, minor creatures you encounter out in the world. These will yield small XP gains, but come in an unlimited supply, so they’re still a great way to level your character. You will have a variety of logs, where you are tasked with finding X number of a particular item. Complete the collection and you will be given an XP and monetary reward. Certain logs are individualized to your class, and can be worked on at any point (in other words, don’t save them for leveling later classes).  You crafting and gathering logs will give you experience rewards, generally for crafting or gathering an item for the first time. Work on your hunting log. Your hunting log will give you XP and money for killing a certain number of particular monsters. This is individualized to class, so you should feel free to go ahead and work on your hunting log at any time. This makes them a great way to level a second class. Certain items and situations can help you gain XP faster. Some foods and drinks will provide a small XP buff. You will also receive an XP buff as apart of free company activities, so consider joining one.

SUMMARY: Do lots of quests. Participate in FATEs. Fight creatures out in the world. Complete items from your logs to gain extra XP. Get XP buffs when you can.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can find a recipe for just about anything you’d like to cook on the internet. Making an effort to cook can really be a big help for you parents. You may need to enlist your parents help to get everything you need, but they will likely be happy to help you with acquiring what you need.  Start by writing down all the ingredients and supplies you will need. If you can’t get to the grocery store to pick up ingredients on your own, ask your parent to drive you. If you need extra help with your recipe, try searching YouTube for videos related to what you would like to cook. On the night you cook, or on another night, offer to clean up the mess. Rinse and place all the dishes in the dishwasher (or wash them by hand if you don’t have one), and put any left over food away.  Be sure to wipe down the counters with a damp cloth. Sweep up any crumbs that might have fallen on the floor. There are many ways you can get involved in cleaning the house. You might offer to scrub the tub, vacuum the floor, or dust the furniture. As long as you offer, and do a good job, your parents are very likely to be impressed by your effort. Maybe the grass needs mowed, or the dog needs to go for a walk. Ask your parents if there is anything you can do to help them outside.

SUMMARY: Offer to cook dinner one night each week. Wash the dishes. Offer to clean the house. Find out if there are any outside chores you can help with.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dirt, sweat and dead skin cells on your face can distort the way a foundation shade appears on your skin. By exfoliating and moisturizing first, you are priming your skin to accept and accurately reflect the true shade of the foundation. You should always do this before testing foundations. Wearing other colors can distort how you perceive your skin tone, so be sure to wear white when you’re testing shades. Always use good lighting and try to use more than one light source to confirm a shade looks consistent. Natural light definitely needs to be one of your light sources, since it shows the shades most accurately. Most brands will identify the complementary undertone right on the product label, so check that first. If you are considering a brand that doesn’t provide the undertone information for you, there are certain keywords you can look for that will give you some clues.  Words like beige, golden, tan, caramel, and chestnut usually correspond to warm undertones. Terms like porcelain, rose, sable, and cocoa usually indicate cool undertones. Descriptions like ivory, buff, nude, and praline usually indicate neutral undertones. The neck tends to be the lightest, and the face and décolletage are usually slightly darker because they are exposed to more sunlight and elements. Even though all 3 won't match each other exactly, there will be a predominant shade that covers the most area. Choose the foundation shade that looks closest to that predominant shade.  Test the foundation on both your face and your neck to ensure you’ll end up with even color. Check your jawline after applying foundation. Make sure the skin above it (your face) also matches the skin below it (your neck). Foundation shades usually fall somewhere on a loose spectrum of fair, moderately fair, medium, medium deep, deep and very deep. Even if you feel certain you know your shade, test out 3 different ones for comparison. Choose the ones that most closely match your skin color.  Use enough of each one to get a good read on it – a tiny dab is not enough. Use a streak about 2 inches (5 cm) long for testing. The right foundation shade will disappear into your skin and look natural.

SUMMARY: Exfoliate and moisturize your skin. Wear white and be sure to test the makeup in good lighting. Match the undertone of your skin first. Match the color of your face, neck and décolletage. Try 3 different shades to compare.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Shelves are perfect for showing collections, photographs, and items that are not used every day. Shelving comes in a variety of different materials such as metal, wire or painted wood, and can be accessorized to match the decor of the room.  You can find shelving at many department, homeware, and hardware stores.  Shelves don’t have to be for purely decorative items. You can use shelves that are within easy reach to display favorite books and toys, and also to showcase your child's interests. Don't put heavy items on them, though, as these may fall and pose a safety hazard.  Shelves can be placed in many different areas of the room, including above windows, dressers, and desks. Generally, though, it's best to avoid hanging shelves directly above the bed. Storage bins will also give your child a sense of independence for being able to access their own things, and they'll teach them responsibility and how to organize their items. Storage bins can be kept within shelving, wooden cubes, in a wardrobe, or on the floor. You can even get bins that slide under the bed. Having books that are easy to reach and enjoyable to read will encourage your child to continue learning about what interests them. If the bookcase is large, make sure to secure it to the wall for safety. You could create a reading nook by placing a few comfy pillows in a corner, and filling a low shelf with your child’s favorite titles. Underbed storage will help to both organize and keep clutter out of sight. Clothes, toys, and books that aren't frequently used can work well in under-bed storage. Some beds come with built-in drawers for extra storage space. However if you child's bed doesn't have these, you can buy long plastic storage containers from most department stores which are designed to fit perfectly beneath a bed.

SUMMARY:
Hang shelves on the walls for displaying your child’s belongings. Use storage bins and baskets for toys and games. Fill a bookcase with your child’s favourite books. Use under-bed storage if the bed is high enough.
