Ultimate Noob Guide (Lots of Q&A)

I cannot find anywhere that explains BASIC things, like how you fire a bow and arrow without running to the enemy and getting snotted.. Or how to get the chat and Ongoing events (Got 12 gold etc) to stop obscuring each other by printing in same spot

Can you help?b:cry

Now with the fly speed skill does that also apply to the lv 30 wings?

Once you've created a character in-game, go to the top level of the forums, and hit the Change button where you normally put in your username and password. That'll bring you to the Avatar page.

The Winged Elf Fly Mastery power only applies to the White Wings power, at this time.

i'm having the same pet problem. I've seen somewhere on the forum that every race can have them at lvl 20 but only venomancers can buy the eggs from the npc shops and have them hatch. but once their hatched, we couldn't find a way to trade. so is that true that a blademaster can have a pet at lvl 20? if not/ yes, how does it work then? thanks for answering.

Venomancers can return pets into their eggs by talking to the Pet Managers. Pets for other classes require the special pets from Mrs Zoologist in Archosaur (southeast?).

b:question how do i make a character? im new so im very confused.
please help me.

thanks alot for answering me

jchnny, he told you: go see mrs. zoologist in archosaur.

edit: i went to see her, but i still can't buy one, they're all in grey I really don't get it and i feel annoyed to insist here about it... but i really wish i had one

Mrs. Zoologist requires the materials listed in the bottom half of her trade window; they're usually Venomancer pet eggs, and you'll need to buy them from other players if you're not a venomancer.

hi, im sort of new and I am downloading the game atm, so i was wondering whether I would be able to create a MALE venomancer ,because I like the concept behind the character but so far I've yet to see a male one

Venomancers are all female at this time.

Surtr has an excellent guild on downloading, installing, and patching the game client here.

Once you've done that, bring up the Launcher with the desktop icon. Use the Launcher's setting button to increase your resolution to at least 800x600. After that's done, hit the Start button on the Launcher to bring up the ElementClient.

From the client, you'll want to hit the "Next" button to close the Notice window, and if you have not done so already, select a server. Then put in your username and password, and hit start.

That'll bring you to the character selection/creation screen. Mine goes to the Untamed area and has a Barbarian because I've already played one, but yours will likely have an empty vista of Etherblade or the City of Plume. Yours also won't have a red arrow pointing to the Create Character button, although it should. Click that button.

In the resulting screen, you'll want to set a name, select your species, gender, and class, and even customize your appearance.

Yay! Thanks Gattsuru ^^

so how does the zen/coin thing work. the advertisement said we can play for free but it seems like we have to pay for these zen/coins rather than getting them from playing the game.

"Coins" are the completely in-game currency. Zen, Gold, and Silver can be purchased for money. The latter are used for the Cash Shop items. While some Cash Shop items are useful or look nice, they're really not necessary for play. You can easily play without buying any Zen, Gold, or Silver. You can also use the Auctioneers to trade "Coins" for Gold and Silver other players are willing to sell, so you can even get some Cash Shop items without paying for them.

I was wondering,

I know tha at lvl 30 you can pvp other lvl 30+ people BUT
does this mean you can be attacked by anyone at anytime unless you are in a safe zone?
Even if you never attacked anyone ever before?

On Lost City (PVP Server), as soon as you reach level 30, you can be attacked by any other level 30+ character, unless you are in a Safe Zone. On Heaven's Tear and Sanctuary (PvE Servers), both you and your target (or attacker) must have intentionally enabled PvP Mode.

Hello, I am new and I have a problem of creation of character!

It is simple: when I want to creer a character, I cannot click " create ", because the word "Start" is in front of... Please help me =D

Please increase your resolution. From the Launcher, click Settings. Then look at the drop-down menu next to "Resolution". You want to select something at or above 800x640. Click Confirm, then click Start.
