Here's some of the stuff I wrote a couple pages back if you're completely new to the game.
also guys... that need for speed game I'm playing.. they want 10,000 aeria points for this new car that they just released. That's $100 for a friggin virtual car rofl. Not counting the money to buy a body kit, wheels, and special upgrades.

As for what to do if you haven't researched or played the game at all, I guess I'll give you my general run down of stuff I wish I knew when I started.
-Your bag space is limited, so you have to learn to throw things out early. White gear is worthless unless you have nothing else to use.
-Visit a blacksmith (available in each town) to craft and enhance gear. Crafting is making gear, enhancing is making it more powerful
-Enhancing gear has a chance to make your item stronger, weaker, or even break it. Anything +6 or lower does not break. After +6 it has a chance to break
-Necklace, rings, and earrings can not be enhanced
-When starting out, you want to have a MINIMUM of all +6 gear. It's very easy to do and has a very very low cost. You'll have plenty of extra gear to try to go higher
-The 2nd way to improve armor/weapon/jewlery's power is by using sparks. It's the game's equivalent to the potential system in maple.
-To use a spark, you click on it, and drag the item you want to spark, then hit okay. It will add random stats to your item.
-The last way to become stronger is through crests. They are viewable by pressing "P" (to open up your character window) and going to crests
-Crests are items you can use that give straight stat boosts and are named via what stat they give. Ex - Fierce crests give critical damage.
-Left click to attack, right click to special attack
-Keybinds are a pain in the ass to set because you need to remove a keybind to set a bind. Ex - if I want to rebind "R" but "R" is already bound, I need to move what is bound to "R" to something else first before I can rebind it to something else.
that's all I can think of for now as far as basics go.
DrRusty Wrote:something I think should be mentioned.
Just because an item is orange (meaning it's epic) doesn't mean it's good. Always look at the stats. Green gear is actually stronger than blue or epic gear if the blue/epic gear is not crafted. You'll see things like an epic ring that's called "Stunning cobaltina ring" which is like a lvl15 or so epic ring but that ring is actually weaker than a green ring that gives physical or magical damage.
Epic gear can have better hidden abilities (sparks) than green or blue gear (which is where the demand comes from). Also, crafted epic gear is much stronger than green gear and slightly better than crafted blue gear. The catcher is that epic gear can become VERY expensive to enhance and spark and also is easier to break/harder to go higher in terms of enhancing.
I also don't think SM is a very good class to take on as your first class. They're annoying to play in PvE and have a bad rep because EVERYBODY rolls one. A huge portion of their skills push mobs around and that can tick people off pretty badly sometimes. I would recommend mercenary, paladin, or ele as your first class.
Another thing to mention, physical and magical damage are your strongest stats (depending on your class). Health is also pretty important so you want to shoot for +6.5% HP hiddens when you spark gear.
