(All links lead to more information on a particular page, not to the page itself.)
After you sign up for and activate an account, you will be taken to the status page.
You will have some basic equipment, but no items. You will also have a small amount of gold. It is strongly
suggested that you use some of that gold to purchase abilities, as Weapon Users
and Item Users can only use Basic Slash in the beginning, and Magic Users have no abilities at all.
First, click on City in the sidebar. Then click on City Sage
in the main window. Now, if you are a Weapon User, it is strongly suggested that you learn Earth Punch and Heavy Slash.
Magic Users are advised to learn Fireball and Light Heal. Item Users should learn Flare Potion.
Now, it is time to gain experience. To travel and encounter
enemies, click on Travel in the sidebar.
Weapon Users should travel to Sylphanis. When encountering Flareys, move to the front column (Square 2, 8, or 14)
and then use Heavy Slash when they are in front of you. When encountering Sparkies, stay out of their row and use Earth
Punch. If you run low on SP, use Focus. Travel back and forth between Sylphanis and Proterra to gain more experience,
items, and gold.
Magic Users should travel to Maranoir. When encountering Frosties, cast Fireball, which should destroy them in
one hit. When encountering Sparkies, do the same, except it will take multiple hits. Use Light Heal if you run low on HP,
and use Focus if you run low on SP. Travel back and forth between Maranoir and Proterra to gain more experience, items,
and gold.
Item Users should first go to the City Market by clicking on the City link on the sidebar,
then clicking on City Market. You need to purchase ingredients for your alchemy. Flare Potion takes up 2 Mana Powder,
1 Ruby Dust, and 3 Zinc per use. Purchase as many of these as you can afford. In the Market page, click on Alchemy Items,
then enter each of those ingredients in turn. Once you have enough ingredients, travel to Maranoir to gain experience.
Use Flare Potion, which should take out any enemy in one or two hits. You do not need to move. Travel back and forth
between Maranoir and Proterra to gain experience, gold, and items.
Once you have gained a few levels and some gold, go ahead and spend your Ability Points as you
see fit. Then purchase some new abilities and equipment. Weapon and Magic users should sell the alchemy items they pick
up. Please be courteous and offer them at reasonable prices in Proterra so as to help out Item Users who are just
starting out. See the above entry for the alchemy items they need. To sell items, go to your
Inventory by clicking the link on the sidebar, click on the radio button next to the item you want to sell, enter
in your asking price, then click on Sell.
This should be enough information to get you started in the alpha/ community. After that, your destiny is yours to
shape!
