Few Newbie questions, lets see if you can help me

1. Have not waited for a mineral to respawn, but I'd guess ~ 1 hour or more. You should find several maps to gather and rotate through them.
2. You can use crafted for low levels if you plan to level quickly, then get forged because they are stronger and the options do not expire unlike spirit stones on crafted
3. You should be killing Blunt Santas which seem to be on most if not all maps
4. Don't think vit twins would be of any use to a savage now

Yeah that RESPAWN time... Better to roam around for the minerals...

1. -
2. Depends on class, build and purpose. Assuming that you are a savage, and for farming purposes only: a forged weapon will be more than sufficient.
Forge it with either 4x Armor defense option stones, or 3x AD + 1x HP/MP leech if your heal skill does not the trick for you.

Main weapon stat being melee %, of course.
If you do not need the defense, you can change armor defense by critical hit%, attack speed or weapon attack, depending on your level.

If you go with AD weapon, you can forge yourself a farming suit with min. damage drop + critical hit drop.

The point of a farming char is for it to be cost effective, and thus not requiring an actual upgrade weapon. PvP is another story, altogether.

3. Not sure if these still exist, but there used to be Rigal Bomb (dropping onyx screws of boomboos, which gives +7str/dex/vit or something likewise. It's lvl 30 and can be found into the crystal quarry level 2.
Demon Hezwerd is a level 40 boss that drops abbots prayer book (for magic classes), it has a magic aoe skill.. so hard to kill at lowbie levels.
Moleck in ahkma cave (around lvl 40-45), also drops a ring str,vit, melee attack. A bit later on you also have Blood Tyrant around lvl 50ish. It's magical, though and so is its drop.

There are also some bosses in Black Dragon Sanctuary and Cariona's tomb (lvl 40-55). Albeit, you need a party to kill these bosses.

It is however not very effective to put effort into these - other than for fun and giggles. What with twins, and all.

4. Depends if you have AD weapon, good armor and whether or not your defense is already good enough. You can go for DEX for better DPS, or vit for more survivability. Personally, I'd go for dex. Again, a farming char needs to be cost efficient, these twins you can farm.

5. Apparently there are now agi twins (?) Guess that's new then for me as well.

Thanks for the info man... this will help a lot on getting geared up...

If you're looking for maximum damage output in PvE, ignore WA, Att Speed, and Crit %. Elemental Attack is where it's at. I tested it on a Str Scout with +94% Elemental Attack and its effects were amazing. Look at my Frozen damage in this video:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NQaYLDH--Es

My frozen damage was roughly 70% of my white damage. Normal Invenom damage is half of your white damage, and normal Frzn, Blzng, Div, and Drkns damage tend to be 15-25% of your white damage. So you see, that Elem Att can easily give you a larger increase in DPS than the other options. It also works with EVERY hit, unlike Critical Hits, which are uncommon.

It's an interesting option.

They should make Madness stun on AoE crit

This is really cool.

To get elemental attack you need to forge a weapon with the option stone (I dont remember which one it is) if you wana test with the basic blue option stones go to orc fortress and kill enchanted tonkens (they have 100% drop of 1 blue option stone IIRC)

if you are too high lvl for the enchanted tonkens just log a 2nd account and add a lvl 1 to your party (parties work in lvl average)

Yay! I will definitely try this one out.
