    ^This. In fact so much this that I actually kind of cringed seeing the question because I now people are going to troll this post into the ground for being...well yeah. THe idiots on the forum.
    Anyway otherwise I would say look for some people who are on during your time. Join/make the faction. Try to do things together. After marrying/playing daily with my husband in the game I can tell you it has kept my interest much better than just sitting at the computer and saying 'okay PWE. Entertain me'. I took some self initiative and made fn of my own in the game. It has helped 10 fold.

    Dragon Quests are optional. When I started I wasted so much time doing those thought I had to. If the quest isn't in yellow you dun have to do it.

    Don't waste all your time trying to keep up with the Joneses. If you worry too much about being "leet" you will find this game feeling like a job instead.

    If you're on a PvP server: If somebody kills you once, just carry on. It's a game. You respawn. There's no hardcore mode in PWI.

    Ahaha my very first thought was: Get out, quick, before it's too late!

    --no but really. Eum for them to either enter the game with a group of people that they are playing with, or find some faction that's beginner friendily, and not to random squad a bunch... 'cause with people you know, and while leveling, the game's fine--once you get to where you just walk around in circles in arch all day, or are dealing with people there's no connection at all with on an almost always basis, it's kinda 'blah' x3.

    Oh and actually do research/especially relevant to your class and points/gears so you know some of what you're doing 3:<
    That might just be me, though... spending weeks on wikis before starting a game... x3

    yes, there are different grades of wood, stones and herbs. Different areas to find a certain grade. Your grade usually should be really close to the big city you start in. When you have quests for them, you can go to your quest description and the name of what you search should be highlighted to click on. It then shows on your map and you start walkng into that direction.


    second why do some of my gear have a duration on it like wings/sword will they dissapear when time runs out?

    Yes they run out. With the gear you will usually have outgrown it before it runs out. You get a new, permanent, flyer from a quest when you are level 30.

    third the auction thing theres stuff for sale like for 1mil is this in game currency/coins?

    Yup coins. Right now prices may seem high, but when you get higher level, it will get easier to obtain such amounts of money.

    and last how can i hide hud and stuff for a screenshot without doin it manually 1by1 ty in advance i had to post it here cause i cant make a new topic private msg me or post here ty

    dunno :)

    This is a nice tool btw

    Mat quests don't autopath, but you can find a list of where they all are here. Just click resources and hit logs. http://www.pwmap.ru/pwi/

    To hide the HUD while taking screenshots, press the f9 key which will also let you take higher quality screenshots, rotate the camera, and zoom in. You can find a guide to taking great ones here.

    You can buy fashion from other players in the auction house, from the event boutique using event gold (which is obtained by doing various events or grinding higher level DQ items)or through the cash shop.

    When you do the level 1 tailor quest you will able to craft yourself new armor. It is however optional. :) Also check PWI's facebook from time to time, as they will sometimes place codes for dreamchaser packs on there. Those contain great armor that will last you to level 60ish, a mount, and a free flyer tht is faster than the one obtained at level 30. :)

    1.) Get your genie at lvl 1 and learn to use it.
    2.) Before you spend gold in the boutique for anything, check the Auction House and cat shops for better prices. Finding out the gold:coin ratio helps as well.
    3.) Do the Winter/spring/Summer harbinger quests daily (lvl 20-40).
    4.) Visit the Questmaster now and then for exp items.
    5.) Do your daily BH (starting at lvl 40).
    6.) Do your daily crazy stone quests.
    7.) Read thru the forum about where to put your stats for your class.
    8.) Use the pwdatabase and google for information.
    9.) Have fun.
    10.) Make some friends and a join a faction. It's funner doing things together than alone.
    11.) You only HAVE to do yellow quests. Some are not worth doing, at all.
    12.) Find out about auto-path, changing the graphics, the system settings and using alt+(clicking on an area of the map [open the actual larger map]) to auto fly there with less hassle.


    That's about all I can think of at the moment and of course, they aren't in any particular order (aside from #1).

    - Don't buy fashion. 1.) It's expensive 2.) Making the colors right cost more.

    - Know what you are buying. I know I have made a couple deals that I regret.

    -
    Late game tips:
    -

    - Can buy lvl 7 gems cheaper with Tokens of Luck.
    - Can save money on charms later by working on alts to lvl 40 and doing Jungle Ruin Event.
    Basically by getting the Event gold item (As I don't remember the name ^ ^;) then wait to turn in until all the alts have one or two. Grants 6+ Event Gold. This is nice 60+ when you need to get your own on your own terms. :)

    Early Levels

    1. Don't use your money all at once as a low level you just need them for skills, Do not buy armor from the Tailor or Weapons from the Blacksmith, you get the require gear through quests.

    2. Don't fall for scammer, anybody that says can i have 1 mil or can i use your flyer, do not agree just ignore them or say no. (Has happend to alot of new people in my faction lately)

    3. Don't wate all your spirit and coins on skills, level the skills you mainly use and leave it at that. ( Unless its required to gain another skill then level it to lvl 1 )

    4. Find people to play with around your level, find a faction with your level req so you can easily squad when doing quests etc


    Later Levels

    1. When chosing Demon or Sage, don't go by what other people have done with your class..
    Research and chose the path you like for your OWN playing style.

    2. Don't spend heaps of amounts of money on gear, try to get gear that is cheap, depending how fast you level you don't need TT70 gear with 4 sockets +5 for example.

    3. Do your BH's gives your quite a bit of exp from lvl 40-70 and at lvl 100 you get some nice rewards.
