 Upgrading equipment is one of the most powerful ways to initially get stronger! Upgrading your equipment will help you do more damage and survive better against mobs and area bosses. To upgrade equipment visit the panel on the left hand side of your screen, click on a piece of equipment and upgrade. Note that for each Area that you're in there are equipment level caps for fighting the bosses that will stop you from getting a contract and payouts if you go over them, see here [[Area Equipment And Stat Boss Caps|Area boss caps]]. As a general rule of thumb it's also better to upgrade weapons first before armours. Upgrading equipment is one of the most powerful ways to initially get stronger!

Line 11: Line 13:
 As an older game in this genre guilds are already very well established with many older helpful players. Aside from this wiki they generally make a very good source of knowledge and often help with jewellery and plat when starting out! So get yourself in a good guild to start off with, this will pay dividends. Please use trade chat (/t to type in trade or select the drop down) to advertise that you're looking for a guild, not main.  As an older game in this genre guilds are already very well established with many older helpful players.

 Again, no one answer exists. Most recommend unlocking all 10 of your [[Jewelry|Jewelry]] slots first though. Your best bet is to go with the boost you feel you may need. The strongest boosts to start with are global boosts (increases your chances of getting jade drops during jade rains - combined with the advice in the jade section this helps you purchase all of you permanent boosts very quickly!) Again, no one answer exists.

 No one answer truly exists. Many say Critical Hit Chance (CHC), Critical Hit Damage (CHD), or Heroism. However, other than Epeen (which is a jade sink), all have a benefit, some more immediate than others. Look at their functions in the [[Jade Temple|Jade Temple]] section of this wiki. Alternatively, you can sell that jade and upgrade your equipment.  No one answer truly exists. Many say Critical Hit Chance (CHC), Critical Hit Damage (CHD), or Heroism.

 Attack area bosses every two hours (odd server hours, which are to the left of chat). This is an easy way to gain some money, jade, gems, and dungeon points. Simply click Battle, then Bosses, sign a contract, then go back to Battle and keep killing mobs. You will first receive an alert in purple 15 minutes before the fight, then again at 5 minutes before, then a message saying some monster is attacking the land. You will probably die, and that is ok, just go back to killing mobs. When/if the boss dies, there will be another message in purple with a statement about what someone did to kill it. It may also say an anonymous hero killed it. Either way, go back to the Bosses section and click to loot it. Ignore what it says about the clerk taking pity on you. Then go back to killing mobs.  Attack area bosses every two hours (odd server hours, which are to the left of chat). This is an easy way to gain some money, jade, gems, and dungeon points.

 These are what you will find/buy to be able to upgrade your equipment quality. The best way to upgrade is to upgrade all equipment using the orbs you find, then sell the extra orbs you find to the Dungeon Shop. After everything has been upgraded, then you may want to use Dungeon Points for the next quality type orb on your weapons! You will find orbs you need for your armors easily enough as you do ever-increasing maps.

 Tradeskill jobs are done to produce resources (Food, Iron, Stone, Lumber, Jade, Gems, or Dungeon Points) for use in an in-game [[Housing|house]], to be given to a guild for use in guild building upgrades or as part (or all) of a guild boss summoning, such as a dragon (default) or specialized one (Rat King, Iron Giant, Rock Lobster, or Ent). One can also produce resources and sell them on the market to try and turn a profit.  Tradeskill jobs are done to produce resources (Food, Iron, Stone, Lumber, Jade, Gems, or Dungeon Points) for use in an in-game [[Housing|house]], to be given to a guild for use in guild building upgrades or as part (or all) of a guild boss summoning, such as a dragon (default) or specialized one (Rat King, Iron Giant, Rock Lobster, or Ent).

-You should wait to do any jobs at first. Save until you have at least one spare platinum. Then when you can, pick '''one''' of the seven Tradeskills and do a twenty-four-hour job with all twenty workers. Repeat the same thing with the other six skills. You will be very glad you did. You will get 50-60 skill levels in each for a total of 7p! +You should wait to do any jobs at first. Save until you have at least one spare platinum.
