How come some new players have rare and unique items?

All items can be earned in game, but may be very difficult to obtain. Some players choose to donate and can select from a list of items on the Donations page.

What is the "Fast Start" option?

Players can choose to donate and skip the grind of raising their skills and stats. There are skillballs and stat balls that can help you develop a veteran character quickly.

I only recommend this to players that have been on other shards and are true veterans. New players should attempt to work up your character the "old school" way which will enhance your overall game experience.

Here is the Fast Start Package Info

Can I have more than one account?

Yes BUT, your IP address is restricted to one account. You may request another account for a family member by contacting the Admin. An Admin is the only person that can create and verify an additional account. There is also a donation option to get a second account so you can have additional house slots and be able to breed pets without a partner.

Can players run events?

Yes, as long as it is fair to all participants. Events like a scavenger hunt, fishing contest or find an object are all encouraged. There are many ways for players to easily organize in-game events.

Is there "Player Killing"(PK) or "Player vs Player"(PVP) in on this shard?

Yes, but is limited to the following:

Facets

Trammel - No PK, No PVP

Ilshenar - No PK, No PVP, No Marks

Malas - No PK, No PVP

Felucca - PK/PVP is allowed, No marks

Tokuno - No PK, No PVP

Never PK or PVP at staff run events, no matter the facet

6/8, if you have Protection enabled that subtracts 2 FC.

What are pet leashes

They are used to shrink your pets. You will need to have at least 75 in animal taming in order to use them, if your taming is lower than 75 then you can use shrink potions.

Why won't my pet listen to me?

Animal lore is just as important to raise as Animal Taming (and much easier to raise). If, for example, you have a pet that requires 50 in animal taming you will also need to have at least 50 in animal lore in order to get the pet to actually follow your Commands. Also remember to feed your pets if their Loyalty Rating is anything but Wonderfully Happy (which you can see when you lore them).

How do I get powerscrolls?

Powerscrolls are the prizes obtained by defeating the Champion Spawns. You may also find them for sale on vendors at the local market. We also have powerskulls, which give you a choice of the type of scroll you wish to receive.

Why can't I reach my characters stat cap?

You must defeat the Harrower to get a random Stat Power Scroll (range +5 to +50). The easy way to increase your stats to the shard's cap is to donate for a Stat Power Scroll.

Mules are the mounts that Master of the Arts Champ Boss (MOA's) ride, so once you defeat the MOA you can begin taming the mule.

Where can I find a Royal Steed?

Royal Steeds are rare and can be found in the wild. Most Royal Steeds cannot be tamed, but occasionally you may find a rare one that can be tamed with 120+ taming/lore skills.

There are several random locations that the steeds spawn. They will not spawn in the same location, so look everywhere for them. Each spawn has a very rare chance of making a tamable Royal Steed once a month.

This spawn is intended to be Ultra rare, so please don't ask the GM's to increase the rate or show where they spawn. Enjoy the hunt!

What is Res Killing?

A player has a safe timer, to leave/escape a pk encounter. if you decide to stay and re-engage you can be killed again. For example, if you stay and curse or smack talk at the person that killed you, expect to die again...if you stay in the area after you have been killed at a champ spawn and continue with the champ, a pk might kill you again. This is called pvp/pk and is legal in Felucca

If you are a player that has been killed, you should quietly leave the area. If you are pursued when attempting to leave or escape and are killed again and again, that is considered res killing and a form of griefing
