- Shift+Right click = Auto loot
- Mouse Wheel Click = Auto Run
- B = Open/Close All bags
- Enter = Automatically accepts whatever dialogue is selected (Useful if its hidden behind something like for rolls, deleting mail, repairing, etc)
- Shift+Left Click = To seperate stacks in inventory
- R = Move to monster and loot (really handy when farming or when monster dissappears)
- Backspace = Whisper to the last person who whispered to you
- Unless determined, avoid Chef and Artisan professions as they make monsters look lootable (annoying in dungeons, that's the only reason)
- If you like costumes and aesthetics in general, avoid beastmaster and assassin classes. (Their main skill transforms then and hides all armors/costumes)
- There is a voice option, choose one you'll like. (It'll drive you mad if you choose something you don't like)
- Put points into Str/Int first.
- Keep cards and crafting materials until you reach the auction house.
- Collect profession materials as you quest.
- DO KHARAS (Press 'O' to open it's menu, click on un-greyed ones and at the bottom click challenge).
- When leveling up, get skills that will help solo first. (DPS skills usually)
- The entire game is skill based, normal (non skill) attacks are not as affective as spamming one skill.
- Leveling is quest based, grinding is nearly useless. (Credit to Gexmn)
- Medium Bags cost 0.500R from General Merchant NPCs from Prontera onward.
- Butterfly Wings cost 0.250r from Kafra storage NPCs. They will warp you to your save point (So would dying in the field)
- Do not buy gear from NPCs.
- Don't worry about repairs until level ~35+ (unless you are a tank).
- Misc. items can be vended to NPCs. (Only exceptions are items for kharas like Dungeon Master)
- You can set your spawn point at any kafra. (Save option)
- At level 15 you can buy a PecoPeco mount for 10z (To the right of the north prontera portal, an NPC named 'Takshi'. Its worth it, 40% faster moving speed when mounted)
- When in a normal (non-raid) party set loot to 'Wearer' (Party leader right clicks their own portrait and selects it, this will allow people to only 'Need' on gear that is for their class)
- Go to channel 1 if you need a party for a boss or dungeon (less important right now with most channels full)
- In dungeons, kill the adds. Unless you are the tank or healer. (Unless you are over leveled, it helps)
- Before entering a dungeon, make sure everyone understands what kind of run it is (killing all bosses, some bosses, etc)
- Avoid having more than 1 of the same class if possible, to avoid loot competition.
- You'll usually have to run the dungeon 3 times for the last boss' khara, so don't be too worried about other kharas.
- Tabbing can reveal "Unexpected Summons". These can be taken out with one heavy hit (usually 999+), or can be stunned and attacked to "disarm" them without spawning the hidden monsters. (Credit to OniNoMeKyo)
- Pay attention to the Auction House's fee, sometimes it's not worth putting something up.
- You can usually buy NPC items cheaper here. (Bags, etc)
- Auction house search is very sensitive (have to be exact, including capitals for first letter when applicable) and you need to manually click on search (hitting enter won't do anything)
- Auction Houses are only in major cities. (Prontera and Alberta)
- If tight on khara points, carefully consider which ones you need open immediately (Reaching certain level ones can usually wait. killing, gathering, and usage ones should get priority)
- You can save skill points for second job. (At level 25 you can transition into your second job)
- You can turn off the chat filter.
- Equip titles (Press 'O' to open menu and on the right side you see a list of titles, pick the best one you can, usually a the top from MVPs).
- Materials say "material" under their name, do not sell to NPC, auction instead. (Materials you get even at level 1 are valuable and useful to max leveled players)
- Clicking on the objective (below the title on the quest window) will bring up a map with the location of the objective marked.
- Clicking on the yellow plus sign will reveal more detailed information on your quest (like the name of the monster you need to kill for certain drops)
- If you hover your mouse over the hotbar two little arrows will appear at the right side, click on up to reveal upto 2 more hotbars.
- Money (zeny) is hard to come by, don't be too eager to spend it.
- You will be using skills from your first job (Bash, Charged Arrow, etc) forever. (Unless you're a Beastmaster or Monk)
- You can equip cards to yourself for stat boosts, you can't take them out but you can replace them. (The old card is destroyed)
- When selling something (Auction or Vend) the selling cost is for the WHOLE stack not for each piece individually.
- Do colosseum even if you aren't competitive at it. (You'll want blood points at end game, and free stuff)
