This is just a brief guide to getting started with your new character. There is still a lot you must know, but this will get you started to having fun and going in the right direction.
After you have selected your character, you will appear in the Randol 1st level personal dungeon. You will fight the hordes of skeletons and monsters here. You first appear in a big room and as you approach the big doors they slowly open. From here, you go down a long hallway killing skeletons and other foes until you are in the next big room. After all the monsters have been vanquished in the hallway and the big room by your deadly weapon, you approach the big doors which open and you appear in the landing pad in Randol. Here is where the fun begins. FYI, when you come the second time, it is a LOT harder to kill the skeletons and other monsters there.
You have to do quests to get gold, extra xp, and skills. You press the letter W, to get the Juno map. Then put the cursor or pointer over the town and click. You now have a map of Randol. The Randol town map has the location and names of all the NPC characters you may interact with. What you want to do is to look for a BLUE "Q" which is where you go for your first quest. Now the personal dungeon, located in the south of Randol will have a BLUE "Q" on it, till you reach level 66 at which time it will disappear. If you go in the dungeon and get killed no xp or sp is lost and besides it is a lot of fun when you get bored with everything else.
If you look in the top right, locate Healer Yabo for your first quest. When you approach Healer Yabo, you notice that she has a blue glow. So whenever you see someone with this blue glow, you will click the character and talk, to see what quest they have for you. When you ever finish with a quest and go back to the map, a flashing purple "A" will show you where to go to finish the quest and collect your rewards. After you accept the first quest, Healer Yabo is still glowing. Sometimes, you may get more then one quest now. But click and accept quests, until the NPC character is glowing no more. If you reject a quest, then you can not come back later to get it and it is lost to you forever.
Also, if you have a quest and level out of the range of the quest, then it is automatically deleted from your quest list. The quest list is located at the bottom left of your screen. It looks like a scroll. Click this at anytime to see what quest you have to do in case you forget. Remember, to check out the Quest Guide to see when and where your next quest is. The only way I used to get them was by "Accidentally" passing a character with a quest. The game has changed where it is now mandatory that you have to look at the guide, because all of the sp farming and leveling are not close to the characters no more.
Up to level 10, if you die you do not lose experience points (xp) or skill points (sp). So starting at level 11, if you die you lose 5% of xp and some sp (usually minimal like 1 sp or so). As you gradually advance later, xp loss goes down to 3%, then down to 2%. Think of it as losing playing time. So how long does it take for you to get that 5% back and hopefully, that may give you incentive NOT to get killed. And at higher levels if you have a lot of sp, you will lose a lot but you will learn to either "bank" the sp or get your skills as you need them.
When you kill a monster, you get xp and sp and you may get gold, armor or weapon drops or an item drop. You can sell the level 5-7 armor weapons and any other drops back to the NPC character. But do not sell tool aids and heaven stones at any time. These you must save for future use. When you get to Level 10, then you are able to go in Merchant Mode. They now have the trader in which you can now put things in there on consignment. So check it out for your armor and stuff you need. Try to pack rat ALL ITEMS you get. In otherwords, if you do not need gold now, DO NOT SELL. You have to be patience. If you get level 10-20 items you may want to put them in for sale. But BEWARE. The 10 item you will be charged 10,000 gold pieces, not including the 5% fee for selling the item. So No use putting items say for 20,000 gold, as you will end up having only 9,000 gold profit. It is best to go in Merchant Mode. I used to sell my low level items in front of the armor and weapons trader at half of what they would see them for and always sold out. You can also see the items back to the NPC (Non-Playing Character) such as the Weapons Trader or any of the other merchants. |
