    I'm also new and have been browsing around at the character classes (while the game is downloading), I already sorta have an idea of which class I will choose but I would like some advice.

    I've always been a pvp-type of person, I never really played any game unless it had a very good pvp integrated. So ,based on that I would like to pick the class, that gives me an absolute edge in person killing. I know every game tries to say that all of their classes are balanced; but from my personal gaming experience I have found this to be a lie. Most games have a one best class for each: PvM, PvP,& PvE (which is usually the tank class)... I am very aware of the fact that there are much more than three classes in this game, but telling me that all the classes are equally balanced in these aspects; will seem like a lie. I want to know which class if it had equal effort put in to it will come out to be the best pker'/pvper'. I don't want to be putting a ton of effort in to a crappy character-class so that I can "put up a descent fight" against another persons character, who has put half the efforts in to their character as me. :)

    BTW, a final quick little question I have: Will PWI, ever go free-trial and then P2P (because I have seen this happen to many mmorpg's)

    Thank you for your time, and I love the ANIME-vids on this site; I have to definately give you two thumbs up for that idea... "genius".

    I know this might be a bit of a stupid question, but how do you fix shattered gear? I went to the Blacksmith and clicked "Repair Shattered Gear", but it said I need some required materials. Do you know what those are? It wouldn't tell me.

    Hello all! Seeing as a lot of questions get asked repeatedly here on beginner's guide, it was about time someone made an FAQ answering all those. So here it is! Obviously, feel free to still ask any question - this FAQ doesn't cover everything.

    Thanks for nice FAQ!

    CHARACTER RELATED
    How do I transfer items between characters on the same account?
    -You could mail the items at a postbox, just enter the character's name. Or you could bring both characters to a remote place, drop the items, then relog and pick them back up on the other character. Note that Perfect World Entertainment is not responsible for any items lost in this fashion.
    Also, you could ask someone you trust to trade the items to your other character.

    There is also the Account Stash that can be bought in the cash shop. It works like a shared safe and can be opened at the banker.

    I just started playing two days ago. Extremely noobish question: How come some enemies pursue you and some dont? Does this have anything to do with hitting level 20 or does it depend on the enemy?

    The latter. Some monsters are peaceful, some will aggro if you attack monsters of the same kind nearby, some will attack anything that comes nearby.

    Just need to learn which is which by trial and error - though in general higher level monsters are rarely peaceful.

    you might try ctr+alt+delete to bring up task manager and see if you can exit the client under the processes tab or you could try resetting your system, I am by no means an expert but i hope that works. Good luck!

    I've only played one other MMO, and it's vastly different than this one.

    I had a quest to visit a banker to increase my ability to hold items I pick up after killing a monster. I double-clicked the NPC's name and it began automatically moving me to that NPC.

    It took away from the mermaid islands to a large land and ran me right to an open field where I was hit in the head by a bolt of lightning, and died.

    I resurrected myself only to run a few steps and have it happen again. Resurrected myself again and managed to avoid dying again and found the NPC. But upon attempting to complete the quest I received a message that I couldn't do the quest while dead.

    Ummm...what do I do? I get the impression I can get a Revive from a merchant, but I have almost no money. Do I just wander around, not able to do that slot expansion quest, until I get the money for the Revive?

    Sorry, I'm very confused. b:surrender

    Ask for quest from elder (blacksmith, tailor, etc) he would tell you to talk with certain npc for gathering mats quest after you finish you get a lv 1 manufacture book. How to gather mats ? Buy a hoe from merchant npc for 2k.

    They were all class pet they not attacking just walking with you and they does not need food. You can make them from Mrs Zoologist in the southeast part of Archosaur.

    The only way to increase it is buying extension stone at boutique then talk to certain npc usually near banker at big city. To increase bank space you can ask quest from banker to increase safe space -gather material-.

    These all was on front page. xD
