A few tips that will help on your journey

Crafting

-Whenever you are confused about an item, be it how to get, craft or buy it, click the item and theres a small icon "how to obtain". That will take you to a menu which shows the sources of that item. If this icon is not present, means its probably unobtainable or its something unusual, worth googling.

-If you don't have a certain material for crafting, consider dissolving a higher tier mat of the same type. It follow the 5:1 ratio so one blue mystwood will give you 5 green mystwoods.
This can be done with gathering mats, parchments, polishing stones, all the stuff you usually need. Be smart!

---------------------------------------------
-Guilds are very good. At level 10, you gain acess to a golem weapon selector chest, and its fairly cheap. You can keep buying this selector chest to fully trait a (rather mediocre, but usable) weapon of your choice. Its definitely better than a blue traitless [weapon] of resistance that we get while levelling.
So the first guild tip is, join an active guild, since it needs level 10.

The second tip is, try to join guild boss when possible. That open world boss event with very low drop rates, it can also be done with your guild, kinda like a private boss. Your chances of getting those items is much higher of course, just by having way less people involved.

Now heres the most important thing about guilds: Check their drop settings. Talk to the leader before joining, you need to know exactly where you are getting yourself into. Why? heres the three settings for drops:

1-No guild sharing. Dropped something? Good! its yours. Its in your inventory, enjoy it.

2-5 minutes to claim: You drop something, it goes to guild chest and it will show everything people dropped. You have 5 minutes to find your stuff in that menu, and click "i want this". it belong to the guild after that point. Naturally, its up to guild officers and leaders to decide what to do with it, they could put up to auction or even give it to you, but you get the idea.

3- Shared with the guild (this can be filtered by rarity aswell) You drop something, it goes to guild chest. Only officers and leader can interact with said item, and send it to people. As you may suspect, unless your guild is disciplined and everyone is in accord to this, it may lead to a popularity contest situation, if not blatant scamming of unsuspecting users. This is the main reason for asking what type of drop settings a guild has, before joining

The cooldown for joining/creating a guild after you leave is 36h, so you definitely don't want to be joining/quitting often.

------------------------

Auction

-Don't scam yourself! The game is in a very barebones state in terms of QoL, and that can also be seen in the auction house. When you select a sellable item from the sell tab, it will automatically set its price to 10 lucent. Regardless if its 50 gems worth 20 lucent each, or a piece of gear worth 20k, initial price is 10. This means that if you are not paying attention, you'll scam yourself by selling your valuable items for cheap.

This is especially concerning when listing gems, which will set for 10 lucent regardless of amount. Unfortunately you have to manually do the calculation of how much your stack is worth and then type that amount before listing. (ironically it does that automatically based on the lowest listing for a brief second, and then goes back to the standard 10 lucent. I Have no idea why).

-You can pricecheck things straight from your inventory. Lets say you just dropped a sword (Untradable) but want to check if the extract is worth anything. Click the item, click extract, it will open the extract window and show the "expected result" which is the extract item. If you click the extract now, theres the auction icon which will take you to the market and show exactly that extract. Much better than manually browsing through the market

----------------------

Open dungeons

-Loot is separate per player within the party, and you are elegible for it by just being near the mob that was killed. You don't even need to damage it, just be nearby. This means that having a good tagger can improve your group farm speed immensely. Run ahead, hit each mob once to "claim" it for your group, and help to kill it.

-As previusly mentioned, loot is separate per player so theres zero, absolutely no downside to joining a party. You get access to more mobs to kill and higher dps. Its very strange to see people refusing to join a party and killing one enemy per minute by having low dps or survivability. Don't do that...

-Sticking to certain area will be more productive than running around, most of the time. enemy spawns are relatively quick, and given how populated dungeons are, you can't afford to not be there when they do, as someone else will tag the mobs for their group. Find a cozy spot, learn the spawns, tag them and stay around that area.

-Based on the previous tips, its never worth the separate from the main group unless you are looking for a better spot *for everyone*. You may find a pack of mobs momentarily, but walking with your party will yield better results on average. Unless they are in a crowded zone and failing to tag mobs, of course.

-Learn when to cut your losses on a spot or group. Sometimes the area you have been happily farming for 30 minutes, and then suddently its swarmed by people. Assuming that your party is full and theres still a ton of people clearly being a problem, consider moving somewhere else. And the opposite is also true, if your group moves to somewhere simply worse and can consider leaving and forming your own party at the good spot. Be wary though, you may not easily convince people of joining you. People are complicated




Thats all i could think of for now, hopefully this will make your life easier
