Noob Questions

[SJ]

i have been trying to get into this game for a while and i do not understand it. how do you get new chars? besides the jumping events? it seems that the way "jobs" are for each character are just different playstyles for the chars rather than upgrades. is this true? are there any beginner guides? ik this game has been up for a long time as i have been trying to play off and on since ntreev had it, but i can't seem to find guides for the basics. thats all i can think of for now, more noob questions might arise.

You get new characters either by purchasing Character Slots or waiting to get one from an event. You start out with 4 automatically if you're a new player, but seeing as how you mentioned playing before, you most likely don't have those free slots.

The Job Advancements are for the most part different playstyles for a number of characters (Elesis through Mari) while for others it's an extension of their 1st job (Dio to Edel).


As for beginner guides, I believe one is being made by some people, but there are people willing to help new/questioning players.

Yes. If you reach level 70 on your character (or 50 as Asin or Lime), you should have a quest chain triggered. For the level 70s, it's called "Hunger for Thirst." If you did not get this while leveling, or if you deleted the quest without thinking, you're encouraged to contact Customer Support here:

They'd be able to instate the quest for you.

Technically, isn't there still an option to do surveys for Kching? Granted, I don't think anyone *wants* to do that, but it's still an option, albeit a bit slow.

I used Prize Rebel for karma koins, I never used real money on GC.

After completing the initial mission (the one that awards Epic gear), did you click "Acquired Mission"? Doing so allows you to access a quest chain in each dungeon.

that option does not help the fact that you cannot get heroes without paying. time is money as well. especially when you won't "qualfy" for 70% of the surveys, plus they give so little. i did things like that for a few other games. they need to add a way to get them for free again.

Well, I was just being technical there. I know that's not really 'free', in the sense that you have to take up your time to do it.

Regardless though, they do still give away the char slots fairly frequently (Though I'm unaware of more recent events, as I haven't played in a while).

yeah the jump to 70 gave a free one, and the one that KOG did when they reopened it

There were 2 more as well, IIRC. I think both of the others were stamp events.

I don't really disagree that they should have a way to get them for free like they used to though, although it's admittedly not an issue for me, since I already have all characters but 3 and still have three char missions left over from before the change.
