3. Quest System
You get your first quest from Village Elder Bosren, which should be in the north of the town. Go over to him and click him one time the following window will appear.
Take note of the yellow exclamation (!) above his head. This means the NPC has one or more quests for you.
Read the Quest text carefully and especially the ?Terms and condition part? as it tells you more exactly what to do. Once you press Accept the quest will appear in your quest list, which is available with the ?Q? button on your keyboard and a window will tell you that you received the quest.
When you have your quest, first you need to complete it. In this case you have to find something on a rock＃ by looking on you map (M) you will see a sign (?) that show you where you can find it. Just click on it and you will get the element needed for the quest.
A message box should appear, indicating that you have the element you＊r looking for.
Its time to complete the quest by bring back the element to who＊s it deserve. The NPC where you should bring the element is marked with a sign (yellow ?)
When you kill monsters there is a chance for gold, potions, and various other items to drop. The loot will appear on the ground near the dead body of the monster. To pick up your loot place your cursor over the item, the cursor will change to the image of a hand, when that happens left click or just press the space bar and you will pick up the item.
The name of items being displayed is a feature that can be toggled on and off. If you want to see the names of items on the ground, press the ALT key on your keyboard. If you no longer wish to see the names, press the ALT key again to turn off the names.
Tip : Make sure you collect your loot quickly! The loot will disappear if it stays on the ground for too long.
With every level this window will tell you what new enhancement you gained with it.
Sometimes when you complete a quest it will grant you access to a new quest. To accept this new quest, left click on the name, read the information supplied on the right side of the quest window, and then click the accept button.
You are now ready to start more quests as they will appear on the NPCs. Some will need you to collect certain things from the surrounding, others will need you to kill some mobs, etc ....
4. Merchants and Buying
Once you did some more quests you will find out that you need some more Health and/or Mana potions. This is the right time to visit the merchant as you should have earned some gold through the monsters you killed for your quest.
Visiting a merchant works like with the quest NPCs. Go over to the merchant and left-click him. Then select ?Buy/Sell? and the store window will open.
You can see different items available for you. When you leave your mouse cursor on the item it will show a closer description and also the price.
To buy an item just drag and drop it to your inventory. You will be asked if you really want to purchase the item. Buy ten or more potions and press OK. You can do this right-clicking on any desired item.
To sell an item, drag the item from your inventory to the NPC Store window. Right click will work to.
When you finish your first quests, you will gain some Armor parts with one of them. To equip the armor you just gained or bought, open up you Inventory (I) and your Character window (C).
You can see the requirements when you move your mouse over the item. Some are class based while others you can only wear according to your race.
Please note that you have an extra merchant for your class where you can buy specialised armor and weapons for your class. Normal merchants don＊t sell armor parts.
It＊s up to you to buy new items for your character but, since you＊re not a millionaire in the beginning of the game, take care that you don＊t run out of money as you will need it for potions.
5. Skill Trainers (> lvl 4)
When you reach level 4 you can gain your first skill. To do this you must visit the trainer related to your class (Warrior, Archer, Magic). Approach the correct trainer for your class and click on the NPC to bring up the conversation window.
At level 4 you will only have one skill to choose from. To learn a skill you must have at least 1 skill point, the correct level, and enough gold.
Tip : Just like items, skills also have an information popup. Place your cursor over the skill and wait for the information to be displayed.
As you can see above, you have different classes of skills:
﹞ There are Combat related skills which are good attacks.
﹞ The Buff line includes several skills that temporary boost you or your attributes or weaks the enemies.
﹞ The Class line is totally class restricted and gives you certain skills that only your class is able to use.
﹞ The Passive line acts like her name says totally passive, you have skills that permanently increase certain abilities like Agility, Wisdom, Critical hit rate ...
Now that you learned your first skill you＊re nearly ready to use it. To do so press the ?K? button to bring up the Combat skill window. You will see now the different lines including the skills you already learned.
To prepare a skill for usage just drag and drop it from the Skill window into your skill bar in the middle of the bottom of your screen. For example: If you drag the skill into slot 6, you can use the button ?6? on your keyboard to active the skill. But you can also right click a skill in the skill-bar to activate it.
Now is the best time to go and try it out ...
Crafting (> lvl 7)
Many NPC can sell to you equipment and ingredients that you will need in the future to make some crafting. Crafting is useful as you can create meals that give you several boost, for example a health or attack boost or you can create potions to morph you into a lot of creatures, for example Goblins, Spiders or Wolfs.
Once you reach level 7 you are ready to gain the first loot skill from NPC Adventurer Drurion.
Ransacking is the first skill you＊re able to learn. As you can see in the description you gain the possibility to loot monsters to gain Items you can use for cooking and Alchemy.
To learn it just press Learn like you did earlier at your skill trainer. There is also a requirement to start ransacking, you need a Gathering Knife which you can purchase from Merchant Darryl and others.
When you have bought the skill and the knife, you will also need to drag the Ransacking skill into your skill bar. To do that open the Craft skill window which can be opened with ?J? on your keyboard. To learn the Ransacking skill you need to be level 7 and have 300 gold.
Cooking gives us the possibility to create meals that assist and boost our abilities, for example a Health boost or an enhancement to your attack rate. To gain the cooking skills, cooking tools and recipes you have to visit a NPC Cook that are located in every bigger city. Here in Anchorville its Cook Lucy. You can purchase the basic cooking skill there which you will need to create all the meals you will learn as you progress in this skill. To learn the cooking skill you need to be level 10 and have 500 gold.
Alchemy is first available with level 15 and gives you the possibility to create Metamorphosis potions which are able to morph you into a lot of creatures. If you want to learn the required skills you need to visit an Alchemist and learn the basic Alchemy skill and buy yourself an Alchemy cauldron.
To be able to collect the needed ressources for the potions you have to learn further Loot skills from the adventurer. Once you learned the skills you will need to loot the creatures, you kill to gain items which are needed for the potions. To learn the Alchemy skill you must be level 15 and have 1,000 gold.
Like the Loot skills, basic Alchemy and Cooking skills are available in your Crafting Skill window (J) and you also have to drag them to your skill bar.

The Auction House is a wonderful place where to buy items from other players all over the server. Left click on any Item Trader NPC to bring up their conversation window, and then click on the Auction House button.
All the items are organized by type and get more specific as you expand the sections.
For example: Starting with the normal weapon section and then expanding the One- Handed Axe section would display all of the normal one handed axes. You can check the information about any item for sale by placing your curser over the name of the item and waiting for the information popup, just like a normal merchant. If you are interested in an item, and you can afford it, click on the item and then confirm your desire to purchase the item when the confirmation window comes up. Click cancel if you made a mistake or changed your mind.

When you have found the styles you want click the purchase button.
11. Animal Breeder
You can buy some mounts from Pirerlier, the Animal Breeder. You must be level 35 at least to buy them, and they are very expensive. You won＊t be able to get a mount when you first start playing, but it＊s something to look forward to.
NPC Animal breeder is the place where you can repair weapons used when mounted.
As you can see, the most basic mount requires the character to be level 35. You won＊t be able to get a mount when you first start playing, but it＊s something to look forward to.
12. Elemental stones
With the time you will encounter other items that are dropped by monsters. Some of them are the elemental stones. These stones can be used to upgrade your weapons and armor. Not every armor can be upgrade with these stones. There must be an open slot to be able to use these stones on the Armor/Weapon. These slots are always on the bottom of the item description, in the beginning most items have one or two slots.
To use one of the stones you found, just drag it on the weapon in your inventory.
Here you can see an axe enhanced with a Water Elemental Stone:
13. Additional tips
﹞ Quests rewards can be very useful to your character, if you enjoy doing quests you should keep checking around town for new quests. Additional quests become available as to level up and complete quests.
﹞ When you are hunting you should consider joining, or forming a party. Party members automatically loot items, which saves time and prevents the loss of items due to decay. Additionally when you are in a party you gain a bonus to your HP and MP, which is always helpful.
﹞ You shouldn＊t wander too far away from the starting town during your first few levels. Monsters get progressively harder the further away from town you are.
﹞ When you reach level 6 the world becomes more dangerous. You will suffer an EXP debt when you die and respawn in a town. Also when you reach level 6 you will be able to attack other players, and other players will be able to attack you.
﹞ Never share your account information with other players.
﹞ Never loan your items to another player unless you are absolutely sure you can trust that person to return the item. |
