Does this game support a keyboard?
Press L1 + Down to access chat, then press Square to start typing - you may then start typing with a keyboard. Don't have a keyboard? You can also type using the PlayStation App on any compatible mobile device.
Are accounts or characters transferrable from the PC or Xbox One?
No - nothing transfers from PC or Xbox - not characters, or purchased items.
I want more Enchanted Keys!! How do I get them?
Enchanted Keys are bound to the account (meaning they can't be traded between players) on which they are purchased upon their acquisition, so you have to buy them through the Zen Market. You can use the Astral Diamonds Exchange to exchange your Astral Diamonds for Zen without spending any real money, or you may choose to buy the Zen directly through the PlayStation Store. If you have VIP, you can also get 1 free Enchanted Key a day (per account). If you do not claim your daily VIP key every day, they do not stack. If you have VIP, when you first open your inventory, it will be on the key claim tab so you do not forget to claim it.
How do I report a chat spammer?
Press and hold the L1 button on your controller and press down on the control pad to open the chat window. Then use your touchpad to navigate the chat pane and move to the name of the player you wish to report. Press the triangle button to bring up the options for that player and select "Report Offending Player". Select an option from the list provided (chat spamming, in this case) and press X, and enter any supporting information in the window provided. Then press the triangle button to submit your report. The reported player will automatically be added to your ignore list and a ticket will be automatically generated. Please note that reporting is limited to once per minute.
I saw this website advertising gold for Neverwinter. Should I visit it?
No, you shouldn't. Third party websites that sell items, AD, and gold are bad news for a number of reasons. Firstly, your account details, such as your login information, can be compromised. Secondly, your financial information may be placed at risk. Thirdly, and most importantly, use of third party websites is against the ARC Games Terms of Service and will result in your account being banned. You wouldn't want any of this, would you?
Is there a way to make the chat font bigger?
Unfortunately, there is no option to resize the chat at this time.
Is it possible to play the game without paying anything?
Sure! The game is 100% free to download and play. You get access to all 8 classes and all 9 expansions totally free! The premium currency, Zen, can be obtained via the Astral Diamond exchange. The exchange rate varies and is player driven. After you convert your Astral Diamonds to Zen, you can then buy anything in the Zen store, totally free!
Are the servers region locked? Can I play with my friends in other countries?
Everyone on PS4 plays together! The PS4 server is international! Play with people from all over the world!
How do I claim my promo items (Electric Tiger, etc.)?
Visit the Rewards Claim Agent in Protector's Enclave, directly across from Sgt. Knox, through the tunnel.
Where can I find builds for my class?
You can search the various class forums here on the official website, or you can check out different builds at http://mmominds.com/
I completed a Heroic Encounter. How do I claim my rewards?
Press the Touchpad button until the Heroic Encounter rewards lights up on the right side of the screen (usually 3 presses of the Touchpad button). Then press X to view and claim your reward.
Is there a way to zoom out the camera on PS4?
Unfortunately, this is not possible at this time.
How big is the game download?
Currently the game is 13gb. However, as with most MMOs, new content gets added on a fairly regular basis, so that number may grow as the game grows.
Where can I buy fashion items?
Fashion items, as well as many other items, are available at the Trade Bar Store. You can access this store via the menu, or you can go to the Trade Bar Store in Protector's Enclave, just west of the Marketplace.
But how do I earn Trade Bars?
You earn Trade Bars by opening lockboxes. With each lockbox you open, you receive a random amount of Trade Bars (generally between 1 and 20).
Is there friendly fire, either for NPCs (especially those who accompany the player) or for group members?
No friendly fire.
Is "Life Steal" a passive attribute or does something have to be done to activate it?
Life Steal is passive. You can raise the chance for it to proc by stacking more life steal stat.
Can the player give companions instructions, especially ones such as "Stay over there until I call you"?
No, companions have their own AI.
Can the player prioritize a companion's activities ("Healing me is your #1 job, kiddo").
No, companions will do what they want, when they feel like it.
Is there a place on the Character Sheet to see which buffs or status ailments the player currently has?
Buffs appear on a small bar by the character portrait. Debuffs appear on a bar just below the buff bar.
Is there any way to re-order quests in the Quest Journal?
No, you can't reorder the quests.
Is there any way of knowing, just from reading the Journal, who assigned a particular quest?
Not unless it says in the quest description.
Who the turn-in NPC is, if there is one?
Not unless it's in the quest description - it does usually tell you when you have finished the quest.
Are quests color-coded or is there some way to know the recommended level for a quest?
The level for the quest should appear as a number beside the quest in the Quest Journal.
Are quests that are beyond (or beneath) a player's level even offered?
You can pick up quests below your level, however most of the time, the quest giver will not have a ! show up for the quest. Quests well above your level will not be offered.
I've collected 15 different (fill in the blank) from enemies. Is it safe to sell them?
Best bet would be to check the AH. Anything labeled "Treasure" in the description is generally vendor trash. Some people do sell them on the AH in hopes of getting quick AD and people who buy them from the AH usually do it to vendor for gold.
How do i group up with friends on ps4? My friend downloaded it but how do we meet up?
All the maps in Neverwinter have instances. You have to be on the same instance as your friend to be able to see and interact with him/her. You can changes instances using the Menu, it's the last option under Quests. You can find out which instance your friend is on by going to the Social menu, and clicking on the Friends option.
Can you explain how the Astral Diamond Exchange works?
The Astral Diamond Exchange is a player driven exchange. Players must buy Zen through the PSN Market to exchange in the game for Astral Diamonds. If you wish to Exchange your AD for Zen, you first look at what prices the current exchange rate is at, under the Buy Zen tab. Generally, it's the top number under the "Top Zen Listings". Those number show the available quantity of Zen, and the Unit Price (Which is the price of how many AD are being requesting per 1 Zen). The next tab over is the Sell Zen tab. Players wishing to sell their Zen (which they either got from the Exchange earlier or bought through the PSN Market) may do so here. To withdraw either your AD or your Zen, press the Triangle button while the Exchange is open. Choose how much you want to withdraw or press Triangle again to withdraw it all.

Press the L1 + Down buttons to open the chat window. Then you press Triangle to access the menu. Using the left stick or the Dpad, go to "Configure Channel "Default/Social/whichever channel you want to configure" and press X. From that menu you can rename the channel, and hide or unhide whichever channels you wish. You can also change the chat colors from this same menu.
How do I claim the Fashion pack or other various promo packs?
Go to the Rewards Claims Agent in Protector's Enclave, directly across the way from Sgt. Knox, through the tunnel. With the Rewards Claims Agent store open, press the R2 button to navigate through the different tabs to see what you have available to you.
Can you rebind the controller buttons?
Button Assignments CAN be changed on the PS4.
Look under the Accessibility Menu...either in the Settings Menu, or just by holding down the "PS" button for a few seconds. Thank you, @ace#9545 for this answer.
Invoking won't work! I press the buttons, it goes through the animation, but I don't receive my stuff. What is wrong?
If you have any items in your Overflow bag, you will not be able to invoke. This can happen even if your bags are not full. Please check your inventory to make sure you do not have any items in your Overflow bag, and try again.
I saw someone else with a character name the same as mine? How is this possible?
Character names are not unique. You can not have 2 characters with the same name on your PSN account, but anyone else can use the same name as your characters. You will see a great many players named "Drizzt", "Legolas", "Artemis" and many variations of popular fantasy names. If you delete a character, feel free to name a new one with the same name as your old character.
I stopped getting rough Astral Diamonds when I invoke. What's wrong?
Invoking has received a little bit of a rework. Instead of getting rough Astral Diamonds when you invoke, you will now receive a bonus to the rough Astral Diamonds you get from other sources in the game. This bonus does stay with your character until it's used and stacks up to 100,000 rAD bonus (roughly 1 month worth of invoking). To obtain rough Astral Diamonds you must now run dungeons and/or salvage gear.

To me it looked like I had to make an offer, and another player had to accept my offer? It's not like I can just exchange Astral Diamonds for Zen. Thanks:)

OK, that still doesn't answer my question, is this done through the players or the game? Who is responsible , for paying out the Zen? Does Arc Games pay out the Zen or do the player's. Could you please clear that part up. Thanks:)

Please bear this in mind when a player is wanting to trade you an item for keys--it's NOT possible to do so, and CS will likely not return any items traded to another player for the promise of more keys. Do please protect yourself. Thanks!!
