Beginner's FAQ

Hey guys and girls,

Us Lore/Content team members are doing our best to make this game more enjoyable for everyone. One of our new projects is to make an official game guide and beginner's FAQ. You can help by responding to either or both of the following questions:

What were some things that you found difficult or confusing when you began playing this game? How about now?
Did/do you have any questions about how certain parts of the game worked?


If you post something that is useful to us, ill personally give you positive karma.

Thank you all for your help and cooperation,
JBarol and the rest of the Lore Team

Hm. I think minor annoyances that would be helpful to add would be:

-Pressing Enter Toggles the chat so you don't have to click to type.

-Right click selects a character for buffs, instead of having to run to them.

-Every character must max out their level 30 skill to change jobs

-Storage is shared by the whole account not just one character.

-Whisper only works if that person is logged on to the same Katar (or different name if we ever get another server group)

-Armor can be worn 5 levels ahead and weapons can be equipped 4 levels ahead.



Things along those lines. Sorry it wasn't in the specified format but I was thinking about making a post for those certain annoyances and it would be better in a FAQ that everyone can see.

First off, this is a great idea.

Secondly, I started the game about 2 days 15 hours and have since asked/answered a ton of questions. How extensive do you want this guide ot be?

What are different classes good at? What's a good class for beginners?

What level of weaponry and armor can I buy? What if I use armor of too high a level?
What level if I want to cast spells while using the weapon?

How do I upgrade it? How do I get a glowing sword/stave/axe/etc?

Why are different monsters different colors? What are the different monster behaviors?

What is a…
…extreme stone?
… blood stone?
… heaven stone?
… tool aid?
… moon stone?

I bought a pick/knife/hammer/energy collector, but it tells me I can't equip it, why?

Monsters give me experience points and skill points, what's the difference?

How do I find NPC X?
How do I open my map?
I have to find a armor maker/archeologist in Drentan, but it's not on the map?!


How do I talk to someone? What are the different colors for?
How do I open a chat?

What's the guardian button do? Should I have a guardian? What are the benefits/drawbacks?

How do I trade?
How do I join/make a party? What types of parties are there?
How do I join/make a guild?

I have a pet, how do I…
Make it appear?
Feed it?
Heal it?

I have a pet...
What's it good for?
How do I make it grow?
How do I ride it?
It died! Now, what do I do?

Where's my personal dungeon?

Hippokrene haha.

Although they are in the process of making this guide.

If you need those questions answered now, or maybe other questions.

Let me know ;D

If you're new I'd be more than glad to teach to the ropes.

I picked up item X from a monster. It's a production item, what do I do with it?

I want to make my own armor/weapons, how do I do so? I want to make healing/mana potions, how do I do so?

What's the difference between a ore mine and an ore vein? And herb and a magical herb?

There's a person that will teach me basic and advanced mining. There's also a person that will teach me flawed, imperfect, and quality stone processing. What's the difference?

I think this person is cheating/scamming/exploiting, what do I do?
How do I take a screen shot?
How do I video capture?

I tired to upgrade my weapon/armor, but it failed. What did I do wrong?
I slaughtered my helpless, baby pony - it was fun! But I didn't get anything, why?
I slaughtered my helpless, baby dragon - tastes like BBQ chicken. What do I do with this item I got called 'dragon's left testicle'?

What's the warehouse for?
What are the manuals good for?

What's a Pandora's Box?

I'm in game and I have a question, who should I ask?

~edit for more~

Why are some names red? Blue? Why do some people have lilac text above their names?
When can I PK?
If I have PK off, no one can hurt me, right?
I've heard there's a penalty to PKing, is that true?

~edit for more~
What's a monster scroll?
What's an event weapon?

Thank you blackblood.

I managed to figure out the answers, partially by harassing others with questions ("Why is there a big, glowing Q above that person's head?") partially by trail and error (It's a Pandora's Box. I wonder what's inside? Interesting, what's this ghost look- aaaahhhhh!) and partially by reading the forums (You get to reset your skills at level 31? Now I don't feel nearly as bad about buying level 5 in mining, farming, and flawed ore processing.)
