Each point carries a badge showing how certain it is. ## 14 things you should know 1. **Num Lock** toggles auto-run, **Shift + I** opens all bags, **~** attacks your target, **Z** switches to normal mode, where HP and mana slowly regenerate. All of them: [Shortcuts and commands](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/tips-keys). (Verified) 2. If you die while holding unspent Fletta points, you lose part of them as a penalty ([Oliver](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-9300071) says so). Don't hoard them; the system: [Fletta](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/kor). (Estimate) 3.

All of it: [Beginners](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/tips-start). (Verified) 4. Changing class costs Carats on top of the certificate: the first change at Lv.10 is **10,000 Carats**, the Lv.45 one **100,000 Carats** + [2 - Class Change Certificate](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-70211).

You can withdraw a stored item from the warehouse of any town, and account storage is shared by every character on the account ([Anne](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-9300131) says so). (Estimate) 6. Master and student: a student can be at most Lv.40, a master at least Lv.50. Between Lv.41 and 49 the option does not appear at all, so find a master before you pass Lv.40. [Master and student](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/tips-mentor) (Verified) 7. A pet's type (Enchanted, Lucky, Helper) is chosen once and cannot be changed afterwards.

(Verified) 11. Don't sell a valuable item to an NPC for a handful of coins; selling it to players is far more profitable ([Veysiz](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-9300171) says so). Ways to earn: [Economy](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/economy); maps, warps and bosses: [World](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/world). (Estimate) 12. Turn on the 2nd password: a 4-digit number entered only with the mouse. The backup password has 6 digits; after 5 wrong attempts you cannot enter it for 30 minutes. [Account security](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/tips-acc) (Verified) 13. When a skill fails, the message tells you why: wrong weapon, not enough HP/MP/FP, cooldown, range or zone.

There is also the account storage, which all the characters in the same account can share. [Anne](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-9300131) > You must understand that you pay a fee when you deposit or withdraw from the vault. The fees are charged during each use, but it's a cheap way to protect your items. "Vault" here is the guild vault. [Anne](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-9300131) > The default slots are sufficient enough for most use but they can be expanded for more storage if you so wish. Of course, it's not free; you must pay the fee. So expand it only when you need to. ## Travel (4) [Eileen](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-9300051) > When used, the Stone of Extra Return Slot will grant an extra location slot for saving a destination. You can add one location per use. [Mike](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-9300241) > You might loot some Return Scrolls while hunting monsters. Each one reads a name of a place.

First, right-click on an enchant scroll you want to use then left-click on an item you wish to enchant. ## Occupied mine of Lupinel (4) [Temporary Mine Keeper](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-7000001) > The toll for entering the occupied mine is 10,000 Carats. Yes, I know it's quite expensive, but it is worth it, I assure you! Also, without a mining pick, you can do nothing in the mine, so be sure to have a mining pick and toll fee ready then talk to me again. I will take you to the mine. [Mine Keeper](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-7010201) > 50,000 Carats is indeed a huge sum of money. Come back later when you have enough.

Please talk to me again once you have your pass ready. [Samuel](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/npc-9910001) > Marshaldin is here. If you have Kun Lun's key, you can go in and get rid of him.
