    I have a small question...if I am a Winged Elf, and my friend is a Venomancer, I'm assuming there's a place after the beginning quests where we can meet up. Anyone know when/where the "gathering points" for all races are? Or if there is one?

    That'd be Archosaur city. You would be going there around level 20.

    Hmm, kinda stupid question here, but what's the main difference between the PvP and PvE servers? is it just that in the PvE server I can't be attacked while I turn my pvp mode off, or is there a deeper rules than that? (sorry, I come from Rappelz, and the PvP server there has many rules and such to make it really annoying :p)

    Also, do I drop items and loose exp if I'm killed by a monster? how about by another player?

    Thanks :D

    You got it right: you can turn PvP mode on/off on PvE servers (if you turn it on, you can't turn in off in less than 10h).

    From lvl10 and on, dying from mobs gets you an experience loss (around 5% at beginning; more like 1-2% endgame). Being resurrected by a cleric can reduce that amount (maximum 90% reduction I think... 100% for those 89+ that got a special book).

    If you get killed by another player, you don't lose exp.

    You need to do a quest to up a requirement need ed before you can learn lvl9 skills go see the tao master in your start town and complete that it's fairly easy :)

    Now if i was to answer that fodder question no one would ever get any lol as it takes for ever to collect (3-4 hours) ;)

    From the city of the lost head out the south gate and down into Dragon breath valley turn left at the bottom into the desert of echos and head to the river hunt the highlands tortoise :eek:

    omg i've told you

    as I understand the rules, you do not drop items (unless Infamous) and you will never lose XP if a player kills you. http://www.perfectworld.com/guide/feature/pvp

    From your post I am assuming you have 'found' the venomancer trainer, have you done the pet manager's quest to get your first pet? If so you should have 2 books "pet heal" and "Pet revive" these are learned not from Venomancer trainer but from pet manager (choose "Tame pet" dialog option).
    Venomancer training works just like other classes except some of your skills will be learned from Pet Manager rather than trainer. Your problem might simply be that you are not yet eligible for further skills yet at level 4, if that is the case you will get the window for learning skills but nothing will be there

    link uses the names from PW-MY but as I suspected aside from pet skills you have nothing to learn from trainer till after cultivation quest at level 9 http://www.1perfectworld.com/guides/races/werefox.php

    Few more noobish questions here:
    Can someone explain to me the weapon grades in detail (you know, legebdary items, holy hall items...) which is better? how to get them (forging?) how to get sockets on weapon/armor, what items can have sockets?

    Also, is forging really important in this game to get good items? cause I'd rather spend my time on PvPing rather than gathering material to make weapons and such, and just buy the weapons from other players.

    Does my chars have a shared warehouse? if not, how can I trade money and items between them? cause I want to play an archer, but want to make a venomancer to make money selling pets :p

    Also, can someone please explain to me about heirograms?

    when you lvl up, go to your character page by pressing C, there should be a stat thing in the middle of it, add your points where u want and then press done to save it.

    yeah, that would save some time. they might do something to fix that eventually.

    and now for something completly unrelated...

    how do you carry people? it just looked so interesting... I want to know, quest ? action ? item ?
    someone help me out here.

    something I have to know.
    can your pet lvl past your current lvl ?

    like say if my venomancer was lvl 7 and my pet was lvl 7, could my pet lvl to 8 before me?
    or would it stop it from doing that?
    edit: also, I got to lvl 9 and it wont give me my lvl 9 skills, says I have not reached the required spiritual cultivation lvl
    any advice?
