a few--er, a lot of, actually--questions

Lately, whenever I attack anything, there never seems to be any damage done. I mean, I can see how much HP should be taken off from my attacks, but I guess the monsters?creatures? are recovering really quickly, making it pretty much impossible to kill them. I mean, I'm attacking monsters?creatures? within my level, and this only started happening once I reached level 10 or 11. Is this normal? Because if it is, I'm never going to complete any of my quests...

Also, is there any way of getting from one place to another faster? I'm flying places and it's taking a really long time.

I also want to know if there's any given coordinate where one can find items such as sandstone or coal dust (or if there's any way of knowing which monsters?creatures? drop cotton thread or animal fur), or if the only way of running into them is to explore.

And two more questions: what does a squad do? how does a faction function?

It'd be really helpful if someone could answer these for me. Thanks!

    Your problem with the attacking shouldn't be affected by the recovery rate of mobs. Really, at level 10-ish, mobs' recovery rate is so low, it's negligible. Try again after maintanence tonight. Even with level 1 gear, or just bare fists, your damage should be noticeable so there may be an issue with something.

    Transportation-wise, you can fly (as you do now) with wings of different speed. Your natural wings (I assume you're a winged elf) is quite slow. You can upgrade with faster wings from the cash shop. You may also ride spurred mounts at level 20 which go quite fast, but you'll need to cash shop for that. Teleportation is another option available, but that costs a bit of money, especially for level 1x's.

    www.pwmap.ru/pwi for map locations on where herbs and materials are found. It doesn't have the locations for the Tideborn lands or Heaven/Hell, but it does have those locations for everywhere else.

    www.pwdatabase.com Search for your item, material, herb or whatever and you can see what monsters drop them.

    Squads are 2-6 member groups that come together to overcome an obstacle that 1 single person won't be able to do alone. Requirements for squading only depend upon what the squad is made for. For example, killing the boss Qingzi for fb/bh29 by a group of level 40's. Obviously, a level 40 anything can't take on a boss alone, so he or she forms a squad. They need a tank to take damage and hold the attention of the boss. they need a cleric to heal the tank and other squad members. They also need damage dealers (DD's) to put on the pain so that the tank and cleric don't spend 30 minutes fighting. Etc. Etc. Etc.

    Squads are also used to quicken a quest to kill so many of some type of monster or just used to locate friends (when a friend and I are trying to find each other quickly, we form a sqaud of just us two. We can then look on our maps and see where each other are.) Squads can be formed with anyone, regardless of level, race, or class.

    Factions are very large groups that tend to come together to work and play as people level up. Factions have a leader and his officers. Depending on the preferences of the officers, the faction can be very large or very small. Factions have access to Territory War bidding, which allows them to fight for control of land on the map.

    All of that was a brief introduction into what transportation, squads, and factions are. For a better understanding, feel free to look around on the forums and/or simple watch what other players do and say in-game.

    Are you attacking from the air, or some other place where the mobs can't get you you (like on top of a building or in a tree)? If you are, that's probably why the mobs are regenerating hp so fast. When you attack a mob from a place where it can't reach you, it will automatically rest, regaining hp faster than you can deal (unless you can one-shot the mob). You have to attack from a place where the mob can reach you if you want to kill it.

    ^^ Ya, if you see a yellow mist looking thing envelope the monster (commonly abbreviated as "mobs"), then it is running away from you because it can't attack you. That yellow mist signifies a healing thing mobs do to get full HP again.

    If that is whats happening, wait until the yellow mist dissipates and attack from somewhere the mob can get to you. You could also try to kill the mob before they realize they can't attack you, but that could be difficult for your lvl.

    Hope our posts helped. If you don't understand one of my abbreviations, just private message (pm) me.
