    By buying gold with in-game coin through the auction house, or by buying an inventory (super) stone from another player.

    One way or another, though, someone has to buy the gold with real world cash first.

    Is there a way to divide stacks of items?
    example make 4 stacks of 5 from a stack of 20?

    Alt-drag-and-drop to divide stacks. (Alt has to be depressed at the moment when you release the mouse button, or it becomes a normal move.) You'll be asked how many to move.

    I bought 1 Lucky Coral and got 15 Perfect Tokens of Luck. I get the feeling that these aren't that big a deal, but I don't know what to get.

    I went to the PWI Boutique Agent and looked at my choices, and there's a bunch, but I honestly don't know what to get.

    I'm a lvl 17 Elf cleric.

    Any suggestions?

    Yep. I don't know what happens if the quest is ongoing, though. I did have at least one quest vanishing from my quest finder --- you sort of notice it when you are standing next to the NPC 'cause you want to try it, and he doesn't have a quest symbol (and the quest) even though he should. Don't know if I lost any of the active ones as well.

    It seems that the really important ones, such as the ones that unlock your skills, do not vanish (either that, or they have a much more reasonable max level requirement).
    Slow progress, game is getting way too grindy :-( Quests I still hope to be able to do some day: FB39, General Feng

    That depends on the quest. Some quests last forever, others only last a few levels.

    For example, the "Lone Girl in the Wild" quest is only available from levels 26-40 (see here) then it vanishes, while its subsequent steps, like "A Mysterious Lady" (see here), are all level 26+, and so won't vanish. Most that do end, end on a multiple of 10, so try to get caught up before hitting that next multiple of 10.

    If in doubt about a quest, check the PWDB to see what level range it is available for using the quest search.

    Hello I have a question too.
    Since I am a sin, I kinda depend a bit on charms at the beginning.
    How do I make myself a charm or where do I get them?

    And another Question ^^
    What does it mean to be an executer in a faction?
    Is there a rank system?

    You cannot manufacture HP/MP charms, only attack charms.

    Commisioner / Executor / Marshal / Director / Leader

    The only power an executor has is the ability to invite new members to the guild.

    There isn't a way to expand your inventory through quests, other than the "quest" to buy the expansion stones from the CS.

    As for the banker quest to expand to your bank, you should be able to get that from any banker.

    How do I log out?
    -Click on the System button in the bottom right, then either select "Return to character selection" or "Return to desktop".

    Would be great except all hotbars and system bars are missing from my screen. How do I get them back?

    SKILLS AND SPIRITUAL CULTIVATION

    How do I learn skills?
    -You don't learn skills naturally by levelling up in this game, that just unlocks them. You still have to go the trainer of your class in town. The towns that have skill trainers for your class are the 6 big towns and some of the towns you visit before lvl 20. Note that Archosaur, Thousand Streams and Dreamweaver port have all trainers, not just one race.
    To learn skills, you need money and spirit, and, sometimes, the required level of the previous skill. Also, some skills require you to level up your Cultivation level. To do this, finish the Spiritual Cultivation quests, they start with an automatic pop-up to send you to an NPC who starts the actual quest. They're the yellow-named quests, you can't really miss them. Finish one and your Cultivation will go up, allowing you to learn more skills.

    How do I learn Pet Heal/Pet Revive/Tame Pet?
    -These are taught by the Pet Skill Trainer. Talk to her and select "Tame Pet" to see the list of available skills. Note that you have to complete the lvl 3 quest "Your pet" to get Pet heal and Pet revive, and the lvl 7 quest "Sacred Beast" to unlock Tame Pet.

    How do I teach my Pet skills?
    -For land and air monsters, visit Mrs.Zoologist in Southeast Archosaur, she sells skill books and upgrade skill books for your pet. Use them at any Pet NPC by selecting "Learn Pet Skill". For water monsters, visit Mr.Zoologist, underwater in East Archosaur.

    Can I rearrange Pet skills?
    -No, sorry. You could remove them all, then add them again in the order you want them to be, but that's obviously quite costly.

    How do I train my manufacturing skills?
    -First off, make sure you've completed the lvl 5 quest for the skill you wish to learn. Talk to an Elder and select "Learn Manufacturing skill" to get level 1 in it using the book you've received (Lost books can be retrieved by talking to the Bookmerchant). To train your Manufacturing, visit the relevant NPC and select the Manufacture option. Select the item you wish to make to see the required materials and manufacturing level for it. When you have everything, you can make the item and receive 10% exp to your manufacturing skill. When you've reached 100%, talk to an Elder to level up your Manufacturing skill.
    Note that to learn level 4 in any manufacturing skill, you have to complete the relevant quest at lvl 50.

    What are Chi and Spark?
    -Chi and Spark are required to use certain skills, as indicated in their description. If you finish the lvl 9 cultivation quest, you can start collecting Chi. Any action, like healing, buffing and attacking, will get you Chi. Chi is the yellow bar on your character name, as indicated here.
    When you finish the lvl 29 Cultivation, your Chi capacity rises from 99 to 199. 1 Spark represents 100 Chi. Spark is used for some of the most powerful skills in the game, so use it wisely.

    What are Demon/Sage or Heaven/Hell?
    -While doing the lvl 89 Cultivation quest, you have to decide whether to walk the Demon path or the Sage path. When you're finished, your spiritual cultivation will rise to Celestial Demon/Sage depending on your choice. This has a few effects on you, most importantly, your skills will get an added effect, like a chance to restore some Chi, or added damage. Demon is usually more fit for attacking classes, whereas Sage is aimed more at defense.

    How do I change to a Tiger or Fox?
    -At lvl 9, after finishing the Spiritual Cultivation for that level, you can learn the morphing skills, assuming you're a Barbarian or Venomancer.

    How do Combos/Macros work?
    -In your skill window, there's a create button at the bottom. Press it to open the combo maker window. Drag skills or the attack button to the row there, then add the combo when you're done. You can then use that combo as a regular skill - press the button to initiate it.

    Somehow I need to reactivate the Sacred Beast Quest. I completed it without obtaining the Tame Beast command.

    Somehow I need to reactivate the Sacred Beast Quest. I completed it without obtaining the Tame Beast command.



    At the end of the quest you do not get the skill itself. You get a book in your inventory. You then go the npc that you obtained the quest chain from and from her options choose learn pet related skills. It will then allow you to learn the tame beast skill so long as the book is in your inventory.


    This post should really be in the venomancer question section by the way since it's a class specific issue.

    When you find a weapon (FIND, not buy from merchants), it can have a socket. It clearly says so in the name.


    So basically what you are saying is that we cannot upgrade a weapon that we bought or made ourselves?

    - Plus fine how do we recognize a socket in a weapon? I mean how do we know it has it?
