General
- Dialogue choices are more than one line. If you're talking to an NPC, keep clicking on the dialogue choice until it turns to a green check mark. Some of the best writing is in those extra bits of voiceover.
- When hunting for lore bits, don't forget to look up. Not everything is at ground level.
- There is a demon in the Hatian Market in London who sells tacos. These tacos (at 100 PAX each) buff your out-of-combat healing rate, thus allowing you to return into combat more quickly. (Credit: Trobed)
- Logging out - There are 3 ways. 1) Menu in the upper left - Exit 2) Press ESC (sometimes 2 or 3 times) then choose Exit Game or 3) /camp - for those of us who like our keyboards
- If you accidentally sell something, go to the "Buyback" tab on the vendor to get it back.
- Keys F1 through F5 will select members of your group as your "defensive target"
- Ctrl-Alt-F to display a frames per second meter on the left edge of your screen.
- If you're creating a new character and it keeps telling you the name isn't unique no matter what weird choices you pick, try changing the first or last name. Some names are "reserved" since they belong to special NPCs and such. Unfortunately, the character naming code doesn't tell you about the real problem.
Inventory Management
- When you create a new bag from your inventory, if you click on the lock button, it stays open when you close the inventory. This is how you can create an "item hotbar" say for your anima potions.
- You can also name your new bags by double-clicking on the "New Bag" line.
- You can merge Inventory bags to create bigger bags. Drag one full bag on top of another and a new bag will be created with room enough for all the items. It even stays that size if items are subsequently removed.
- Inventory has a search function. So if you aren't as anal as I am with all your runes and mats divided out into all sorts of seperate bags labeled by purpose, you can use the search function to find out if you have enough "Wheel Rune" to make the glyph you want to use.
- You can single-drop items from a stack. Left-click on the stack. Move the mouse to where you want the item to go and right-click. It will drop one at a time there. This works in the crafting window as well as your inventory.
Death & Resurrection
[credit for much of this to Alainna]
- You have to discover new anima wells to be able to use them for resurrection. Discover just means getting close to them.
- When you die, you can choose to resurrect at any of the anima wells in the zone that you have already discovered.
- Once you resurrect, running back to your body is OPTIONAL. You can just right-click on the anima well and come back to life at that location.
- If you choose to go back to your body, once you get back within 14 meters of your body, you'll be able to sense the mobs that are nearby. You can resurrect anywhere within a 14 foot circle, so pick your spot carefully. Don't forget to look behind you!
- If your anima well is very close to where your body is, it is possible to get back and resurrect BEFORE the mobs have cleared their hate for you. Take your time or else you're going to come back at 1/2 life with the mobs chasing you down to kill you again. And since they did it once...
- You can die on purpose using the /reset command. Then you can select any discovered anima well in the zone. Even that one all the way across on the other end of the zone!
Loot & Items
- Quick looting - be in range of the loot icon, press v. Everything from the mob will automatically be added to your inventory.
- While weapons may drop for you, the chances of them being the one you were hoping for are slim. So don't wait for that Blood Focus to drop, figure out a way to get one.
- Once you've selected your first weapon and you're about to leave to meet your primary contact in your faction, turn around and go back into the training area. You can pick up the other 8 weapons. You won't get the AP/SP rewards, but you can at least equip yourself.
- Speaking of starting weapons, make sure you get Boone's quest right as you enter Kingsmouth. The final reward in that quest line is a weapon once you reach the police station in Kingsmouth. My tactic has been to use that for my 2nd weapon.
- If you forget to get the starter weapons before you hit Kingsmouth town, you could also just buy one from a vendor in the station. They only cost 100 coins; so your first loot drop or two probably covered the cost.
- As gear progresses in tiers/Colors (Green / Blue / Purple), it tends to become more specialized. However, keep in mind that if that Blue weapon has a glyph in it that buffs Physical Defense and your build focuses on Critical, you can just build a crit power / damage glyph and replace it on the weapon.
- You can preview the clothes from the clothing vendors in places like Pangea. The button should be obvious, but it's surprising how many people manage to miss it!
- If you want to link an item to chat (say to show off that new purple you got from the dungeon last night), ctrl-right-click on the item.
- The Council of Venice has some guys in snazzy white suits and blue berets who will trade those Sequins of Solomon Island for weapons, glyphs, and other gear. They are in every zone, though, and there is a QL cap per zone. So if you can use QL 5 weapons, don't buy a QL 4 just because you found the vendor. Go find the vendor in the next zone to help you out!
