Quests
Inventory

- Repairing: Every time you die you will have the option to repair your gear.
- You will see a Wrench icon labeled "Repair all" in the middle of your gear interface.

- You will need to repair gear, as equipment with 0 durability will not function.
- Item Functions: Other than equipping, items may also have other Actions
- Consume: Items with a Potion icon can be consumed, usually recovering your health and mana/rage.
- Stat potions temporarily raise your stats while the Hearth Scroll can be consumed infinitely to take you back to the tavern.
- Transfer: Items with a Double Arrow icon can be transferred. Items that can be transferred have 3 different options
- Legion: You can transfer an item into your legion, where it can be stored in your Vault.
- Player: You can transfer an item directly to another player. (might be bugged)
- Auction: You can transfer an item to the auction, where it can be bid on by other players for gold.

Items
- Within the Inventory you can see many categories of items.

- Equipment: You will see all your equipment in different tabs (Belt, Boots, Chest, etc.)
- Consumables: Any items that can be consumed will be in this section.

- Key: A Key item (pun intended) that allows you to enter areas normally locked. Some keys also count as a quest item.
- Material: Whether it be a cooking ingredient or herb, they will be listed here. Some fish or herbs don't really serve a purpose and act no differently than junk items.
- Consumables work like Abilities and can be placed on the right hot bar.
- This allows you to quickly consume an item without directing accessing the inventory.
- You can only click on the button to consume the item.
- Items you cannot use yet are greyed out just like abilities
Aquiring Loot
Enemies may or may not drop items, which appear as chests. Loot can also be purchased from Merchants, through trade with other players, or given out as a reward by quest giving npcs
Items dropped by enemy npcs may be acquired either by clicking on the chest or by the Loot control, in which the items will be acquired automatically.
You may learn professions to create or gather your own items! These skills are leveled up through repeated works. In other words, to raise your fishing level, for example, you must continue to catch more fish. When you cannot level up anymore, you must continue to fish in higher-level areas.
Spellbook
- The Spellbook are where your abilities come from.
- You can click "Highest Rank" to see your highest-ranked abilities and the next unlockable rank.
- "All spells" show all of your abilities and ranks.
- As you level up, you will gain access to new abilities and ranks.
- You will have to learn them manually as each new ability/rank has a cost. You can access the spellbook through Manage > Spellbook.
- To add a new ability, click on the ability from the spellbook, you can then drag and place it on the desired spellbar spot.
- To remove the ability, click on the ability from the hot bar and then click anywhere outside the spellbar.
Training
The only way you can increase your stats is to equip higher level gear or through the training screen.
You can access Training through Activities > Training
- Every 2 minutes you regenerate 10/20 energy (depending on exalted player status)
- Energy caps at 100 energy and is used to upgrade your attributes
- Every class has a set of attributes that increase their effectiveness in battle.
- Points can be earned daily through Daily Quests, Vote for Rewards, and Tomb Raiding.
- Both Vote for Rewards and Tomb Raiding can be accessed through Activities as well.
Training increases your base attribute number, while gear multiplies those attributes by a percentage. So if you have 1000 stamina and a Chest with a 10% stamina boost, your total stamina will be increased to 1100.
These attributes, in turn, increase your stats, which also work based on a multiplier. You can learn more through Classes
Talents
Each Class also has their own Talent tree, which allow you to further upgrade your character. You start with 1 point and gain 1 more every ten levels. There are also quests that may award you with talent points as well, so be sure to complete those.
You can reset your talents for free the first time, but every subsequent reset adds an extra 5 point cost which stack additively. So your 3rd reset, for example, would cost 10 points (first reset is free). So be mindful of what talents you want.
Pets
At a certain point, you will be able to purchase pets from an npc. You can choose between 3 different pets, but they all more or less function the same. Pets can help fight with you in battle. All 3 pets are Pet type, meaning they have Infectious and Ferocious bite as their abilities. Melee is the only ability you can manually tells pets to use, while the other abilities are used automatically.
