Tip:

1. Keep boss gear for when seasons is over or you graduate early.

2. Learn the difference between trash and loot for profit quickly, so you don't accidently throw too much away or sell it.

3. Quest loot, learn what to keep and what's trash.

4. Grinding, learning the trash items. You can look in the monster zone info to see which item is just a vendor item. In game Esc key > Adventure tab > Monster zone info. Suggested to keep for progression. But you decide.

Tip: 

1. Learn to build stacks early on, as if you try to learn late game it's frustrating. Take it from me haha.

2. Save your daily given drops at reset, unless you're using them to full advantage.

3. Keep an eye on the events page of the website. Items could be up for grabs through simple events. 

4. AFK training dummies are useful. They stop at 99% and you will have to go get the last 1% to get to the next level before you can continue on the dummies. The cost is 1,000,000/hr for both skill and combat training.

There are multiple bosses and they have multiple versions of themselves who hit harder.

Elvia servers will turn a lvl 15 zone into needing 300 ap haha.

There many multiple quest lines and technically there's not a specific order, so do what fits you best.

Looking into the character you are going to want to play before spending real money!!!!

earning contribution will help you build your empire, you'll then hire workers who you feed beer to keep happy and working. depending on how you'd like your empire to go, i suggest looking tino that as well and saving it.

knowledge is gained from going around discovering this, people, killing things and so on
