Some newb questions

Well, recently started this game and I must say it's pretty nice. The problem is, with the double XP/Spirit event, I might be leveling too fast or something and now missing crucial newb experience. So here's some things that I haven't been able to figure out:

1) Is there anyway to make a stack of items into smaller stacks?

2) My character is a Apothecary. Should I vendor the items that are made or is it more profitable to sell them in the Auction House (in general, those this also apply to other professions/trading skill?). If I do sell it in the AH, what category would powders be under? Tried using that 'search' function under filters, but it didn't work. I must be doing something wrong...

3) I'm about to hit 19 soon, so that FB thing is around the corner. How would you get a party for it if you don't have a World talk thing?

4) Not sure how the dungeon etiquette works in this game, but if something drops that you want, do you ask for it? Like...how are rewards distributed?

5) So...I should always sell DQ items because it's not profitable? Unless you need it for increasing bank space?

6) Is there anyway to increase inventory space without using those stones? Inventory problems always kills me.

7) As you can see, I'm playing on Heaven's Tear server...this one faction owns about ~90% of the territories...does that mean they earn millions of gold per week...? I'm kinda blown away here...

I think that's it. Thanks for your time and thanks in advance if you can answer some of these questions!

    1. Hold alt while dragging and dropping. Maybe it was ctrl. I don't remember. One of those.

    2. I suggest selling your crafted apoth in a catshop. And I believe it's under Remedies.

    3. Bug the first high lvl person you see. It takes 10 minutes and they won't mind soloing it for the rep usually.

    4. If it's a random dungeon run, you get what you get. TT, it's distributed(Tank,cleric,DD by lvl.) If its your FB, you get all the drops(or should, at least.)

    5. Yes.

    6. No.

    7. And no. Used to. Now they get Mirage Celestones and absolutely no pay. Awesome right?

    Have fun and good luck.b:bye

    I've seen those catshop things around, but what's the reason behind using a catshop over the AH? If I do end up using a catshop, where would one obtain it?

    Alt-drag and drop.
    2) My character is a Apothecary. Should I vendor the items that are made or is it more profitable to sell them in the Auction House (in general, those this also apply to other professions/trading skill?).

    Definitely more profitable to sell to other players than to NPC them. Apoth items come under Remedies->Elixers.
    3) I'm about to hit 19 soon, so that FB thing is around the corner. How would you get a party for it if you don't have a World talk thing?

    Being a member of a faction is immensely helpful with finding a squad for FBs and bosses. If you're not able to get help from your faction, try going to your home city and using common chat to ask for "help with FB19" etc. If that doesn't work, go to Archosaur and try again.
    4) Not sure how the dungeon etiquette works in this game, but if something drops that you want, do you ask for it? Like...how are rewards distributed?

    The usual etiquette on FBs is that the tabber gets boss drops (at least, the 3 stars and molds) if any.
    5) So...I should always sell DQ items because it's not profitable? Unless you need it for increasing bank space?

    Pretty much. There are a few good items (mostly the blood molds) you can get in exchange for enough dragon orders, and a very few quests other than bank expansion that require DQ items.
    6) Is there anyway to increase inventory space without using those stones? Inventory problems always kills me.

    No, unfortunately.
    7) As you can see, I'm playing on Heaven's Tear server...this one faction owns about ~90% of the territories...does that mean they earn millions of gold per week...? I'm kinda blown away here...

    Not any more. Territory pay is now in mirages, not coin. And the value of the mirages is much less than the old coin pay was.
    I've seen those catshop things around, but what's the reason behind using a catshop over the AH? If I do end up using a catshop, where would one obtain it?

    Auction House charges a listing fee, and a commission on all sales. In a catshop, you get whatever price you set in full. On the other hand, you don't have to stay logged in to use the Auction House.

    The basic catshop is available to anyone free (mermaid, cow, and lighter shops increase slots available to list stuff for sale or purchase, and allow longer shop names, and are available from the boutique for 5 gold. The tiger shops are similar, I believe, and are only available in limited time versions from tiger packs (rare award.) Just hit E to bring up the Actions menu, and hit Consignment Shop under Trade. Drag something into Buying and/or Selling, give the shop a name, and you're ready to open it.

    AH makes you pay a fee to sell your things. Catshops are free.

    You can make your own by activating it. Click "Consignment Shop" in the action window and a screen pops up where you can put in items and sell em at your own price.

    Set it up in West Archosaur once you gain access to there.

    Awesome! Thanks guys.

    One last thing, I recently completed by FB...my question is, do bosses have a random chance to drop good items or are they always guaranteed to drop something...epic (not sure what other word to use here, haha)? Cause the only thing that I got was some type of pet food.

    Also, how instances work in this game confuses me a little bit. It's called a FB when someone in squad has a tab. That basically means everyone gets bonus XP/Spirit/Reputation and stuff right? A BH is basically the same thing, but without the bonus XP/Spirit/etc...other than that, item drops are still the same, just distributed differently right?
