Things about me
I’m an Asian American lvl 31 force shielder…hell yeah…so I don’t have any info on the higher lvl skills. If you’re a high lvl shielder, pm some descriptions for the other moves.
-----------------------------------------
Why’d I make this faq?
I searched all over the European forums for info on the various classes and their skills…I didn’t find much. Hopefully my action will inspire others to make true faqs on the other character classes to help new players of open beta or veteran players wanting to use another character.
*Some things may be wrong in the guide, I just wrote what I have seen or experienced myself

General Tips and FAQ…stuff I’ve heard a million and one times…
Hotkeys to know
-T, opens quest list
-K, opens skills list
-I, opens inventory
-C, opens character info
-1 through = are hotkeys for your skills/moves you can customize it the way you want. By pressing F1, F2, etc. you can change between multiple customized bars.
-Spacebar, this allows you to quickly pick up loot off the floor…for some reason not many people seem to know this. I hear a lot of complaints against looters, but even if you’re a wizard or archer, you should still be able to press the spacebar when you kill your opponent and are making a run for it.

Q. How do I get skills?
A. Every time you use your current skills, you fill up a bar. When the bar is complete, you get 1 skill point. As you gain more and more skill points, you will eventually rank up to the next lvl for skills. As you progress up the ranks, the skills become more and more powerful.

Q. What are the dummies for?
A. To make you lag…nah I’m just kidding. The first time I logged on and went in that area, it scared the crap out of me. I thought there was some kind of war going on…with me as a lvl 1 shielder…oh man those were the days. For those that don’t know, the dummies are located in Northwest of the Bloody Ice colony…right next to the warp gate. The location of the dummies has been petitioned over and over again to be moved or taken out completely. This will most likely be the place where you will get the most disconnections or slowdown. It has been noted that in the Korean version, only lvl 70+ characters can use the dummies…which leads many of us to think that the restriction in the beta has been taken off because they want us testers to get skills quickly so we can test them out. Anyway, the dummies themselves DO NOT give any regular exp…but it is a good place to get SKILL exp. The reason there is so many people there is that people that away can just leave their computer on while their character spams skills. You are probably thinking that these people are probably cheaters/botters or something. Actually if you just click on the dummy and get something to hold down the hotkey, you’ll keep using the skill over and over again. I’ve seen pictures of people using huge batteries to hold down the key, personally I just use a bag with some coins in it. Be creative…devious even :) Also, from what I’ve heard, the dummies actually can die. I’ve never personally seen it though. There was one time where I saw a dummy close to dying so I started beating it down with other people…after 30 mins I gave up. I went on a few quests in Bloody Ice and came back…only to see that the dummy still stood…madness. Other players have reported that when they die, they sometimes drop extract potions. These potions basically just take a point out of your attributes (str, int, dex) and allow you to allocate them into your skills. I’ve personally never seen one…T_T Also many new players will fuss about saving skill points…to those people, don’t worry about it. Next to the + button is a – button. The –button will extract your skill points back out for a price. The price usually isn’t that much, money doesn’t seem to be a hard thing to come by. Also it has been theorized that the higher rank and lvl the skill, the more skill exp you get. From personal experience I believe this is correct.

Q. Holy Crap! A monster just dropped like a million alz! Is this a bug?
A. No…for the 12301291th time…this isn’t a bug…tiger, you just hit the jackpot! Sometimes when you’re lucky, a monster will randomly drop multiple piles of alz. Don’t ask questions, just pick it up!

Q. What is the lottery for?
A. If you press on your character and press menu, a option for lot (lottery) will pop up. If you play WoW, you would know that this is just to roll for a item when you are partying. That’s is, nothing special.

Q. I can’t log into the game! AHHHHHH!
A. Have you been accepted as a beta tester yet? If not, go apply for it. If you’re accepted, you will get a email.

Q. How can I get a cape!
A. I personally don’t have a cape, but I’m told they randomly drop from those insanely strong trees and mosquito things in Green Despair…I could be wrong on this one. You can’t really take them on until your at least lvl 50 though…

Q. How can I lvl up quickly?
A. The fastest way to level up in this game is to do quests. Quests will net you exp at a ridiculous rate. Grinding will get you exp, but not as much as a quest. Quests range from such things as meeting someone, collecting quest items, transporting quest items, or completing a dungeon. I believe you also get stat points when you lvl up your skill ranks. In my opinion a Force Ring also helps. A Force ring will give you a percentage of health and/or Mana back every time you do a normal attack against a opponent. Personally I had a ring that gave me back 2% in both health and mana, I really didn’t need my regeneration spell anymore until I needed to survive in a high lvl area. Having an item that gives you back mana is useful because that allows you to use your powerful skills even more.

Q. What is the growth requirement?
A. It’s just a requirement for your attributes to do special quests. Say the growth requirement say STR 1, INT 4, DEX 2, you need to get your stats to either match or exceed those quantities. When this is met, a new quest should open up. Also sometimes you will acquire items that give you a +1 in an attribute. Example would be a amulet of blessing, it gives a +1 to STR, INT, and DEX. However this +1 does not contribute to your growth requirement, so using the example above, if your stats at STR 1, INT 3+1, DEX 2, you will not be able to do the special quest until that INT becomes a 4+1…whew

Q. What do STR, INT, and DEX affect?
A. It’s kinda sketchy but I believe str affects your raw physical dmg and hp, int increase your mana pool, and dex increases your accuracy rate and dodge rate. Again this is all speculation.

Q. What are those numbers in parenthesis?
A. If you look at your character description while attacking an enemy with a skill, you might notice a number in parenthesis next to your regular number. Example would be…
Attack 100 (200)
200 is the approx dmg you should be inflicting on enemies with that particular skills. Depending on dmg amp and add dmg, this number will change according. The 100 is your raw dmg that you achieve without your skills, basically your normal attack.
