    Well, I personally would start out on a pve (player vs. environment) server. That way, you don't have to worry about players killing you once you reach lvl 30, like on a pvp (player vs. player) server. Other than that, there isn't any one 'best' server to choose from, although you might try going to that new one that's opening in a few days.

    Every quest and mob location can be found here: http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/

    Spiritual cultivation quests happen every x9 levels (19, 29, 39, ect.), and are required to complete to gain new skills. They usually end up with the Call to Duty quests (aka FB's). You should probably do these as soon as you get them, but you'll probably need help for a few of them.

    I don't think mirage celestones are that rare. You can make them with 25 celestone fragments (rewarded by completing most quests), or by give 3 human, heaven and earth celestones (also quest rewards, but not as often). You can get them from decomposing certain high level gear as well, but you won't be seeing that for quite awhile. Or you can just buy them off players. But, just so you know, most high level players will tell you not to bother refining at early levels, so you probably don't need to worry about them for now.

    Hope this helps.

    PvE servers are perfect for most new players. i don't know about a quest website but most monsters u can just auto path with so its not needed for most. spiritual cultivation is a quest u get around every few lvls or so (not sure on the exact number) and its a quest u need to complete to learn more advanced skills. sorry i can answer about refining iv never done it myself

    thank you both :)) so should i not refine my armor to make it better at lower levels pretty much? probably replace it to fast right? and thanks for that website, was readin some more and i guess i can just auto route it in game from the map or somethin? and how is money gain? fairly slow or decent? was just wondering cause i saw this game has an auction house and was wondering if that would be a good way to get gear id keep for awhile if money gain was decent.

    Yup, you can auto path to pretty much any quest mob you need. Just open your quest window and click the green mob/quest item name, and you'll auto path to the nearest location.

    As for money gain, it's all about how you go about it. If your willing to put in some time and effort then you should be able to earn quite a bit. Look around the forums a bit and you'll find lots of threads with tips on how to make money.

    And, just so you know, once you reach lvl 5, you can start making your own equipment. It does take a good deal of time and/or money, depending on how you get the materials, but you do get something really good every so often. The quests you get at that time should teach you how the system works, but there are guides up on the forums if you need them.

    I disagree with that.

    For a new player, a PvE server, but doesn't have to be the new one, maybe it's better one with more high leveled ppl, for Fb/Bh/Bosses/Factions facts.

    After that, if bored to much and looking for more, start on a PvP server. More fun after you get the basics on the game, and know how to play more properly your class, before getting ksed that much, and prevent to many QQ.

    lmao. The best for a new player with be a new server? WRONG.

    If you're a new player, you won't be able to get help with bosses, gear will be super expensive or nonexistant, and the only people you'll have to compete with are cash shoppers.

    If you got money to burn and don't mind struggling for gears/mats/help, yeah go for the new server.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    I'd deff go for a PvE server if ur a new player, nothing fun about learning the game basics and how to play and someone comes and kills you lol. Heaven's Tear has got alot of people on so if u join a good faction u will be able to get help with stat builds, hard quests, bosses and all the stuff un-soloable.

    I agree with Micheal_dark. Everyone worried about the pk on LC, that's what makes it fun. Instead of just competing against A.I., you have actual people to complete against, the ultimate challenge. Also there are good guilds on LC, with people to help you learn about stating your char, getting good gear. Also protect you (kinda) from pk.

    pvp server man. I actually first chose pvp server by mistake, but I loved it. I not really a pker, but sometimes I just feel like pking someone. Just having the option is nice. Also, I don't get pked much at all.

The best of both worlds grind in peace and then when you want go kill some people ^^.

    Check out the stickies in the veno section, and decide what kind of play you want to do.

    Prefer casting in humanform? Go arcane.

    Prefer melee/debuff in foxform? Go light or heavy.
