Naarn I'm glad you are looking to be helpful but giving out IC information isn't the way to do it. In fact that just encourages the proliferation of IC information through ooc channels. The more and more it is done the more RP seems to suffer.
If you really want to help, then give advice on how to learn these things IC. An example would be:
"Sorry WagesofSin that is an IC question but I can give you advice on how to find out IC. Next time you are logged in look at the who list, this is an IC tool, and look at the titles of other players. Pick out someone with a title you think would help a necro like yourself and ask them. Remember the titles are IC, so your character would have heard of them by their title. Also you could use the mentor command and find another from the Northern Wastes. This might be the best option. Either one of these options should work."
Now it is a bit long winded and I'm sure you could be more succinct but it keeps everything IC. That then helps set the mentality that things should be addressed IC and it might just spawn some RP. Again I think your willingness to help a newbie is admirable and hope you keep it up.
