Practical knowledge for players: hints, NPC dialogue, system messages and game mechanics. Each point carries a badge showing how certain it is.
14 things you should know
- 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. (Verified)
- If you die while holding unspent Fletta points, you lose part of them as a penalty (Oliver says so). Don't hoard them; the system: Fletta. (Estimate)
- The starter chain gives free items: Lv.3 Small Bag, Lv.4 Stone of Return, Lv.6 Boarskin Bag, Lv.10 1 - Class Change Certificate. The Lv.13 quest (Dungeon) Return of the Dead V gives a free mount with no time limit: Iron Wolf. All of it: Beginners. (Verified)
- 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. Save up in advance. (Verified)
- You can withdraw a stored item from the warehouse of any town, and account storage is shared by every character on the account (Anne says so). (Estimate)
- 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 (Verified)
- A pet's type (Enchanted, Lucky, Helper) is chosen once and cannot be changed afterwards. Pet care (Verified)
- Deleting an item or a pet asks you to type 12211, and what you delete never comes back. Combining items resets their + level. Recovery and small rules (Verified)
- Active super skill stones (all but the reduction family) add to the skill's cooldown. See Super skill stones and Super skills. (Verified)
- Other guides: point distribution and reset items in Stats, a roadmap in Character planner, auto-hunting in Auto-hunt, the game's auto-hunt panel, death and returning to town in Karos Assistant. (Verified)
- Don't sell a valuable item to an NPC for a handful of coins; selling it to players is far more profitable (Veysiz says so). Ways to earn: Economy; maps, warps and bosses: World. (Estimate)
- 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 (Verified)
- When a skill fails, the message tells you why: wrong weapon, not enough HP/MP/FP, cooldown, range or zone. Some skills such as Holy Grail cost HP instead of mana. Why won't my skill work? (Verified)
- The playtime reward always arrives in your mailbox, and a level reward goes there too if your bag is full. Check your mail. Playtime rewards (Verified)
What the badges mean
- (Verified) This information is verified.
- (Estimate) Estimate: likely, but not confirmed.
- (Unknown) Not known yet; can be measured by testing in game.
When a skill cannot be used, the game tells you why with a message. Find your message in the table to see the cause and what to do. (Verified)
| In-game message | Cause | What to do | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| You are not allowed to attack at this time. | You are under an "unable to attack" effect (stun, panic). Not a problem of the skill. | Wait for it to end or remove the effect. | (Verified) |
| The use of the skill is limited. | An active effect on you conflicts with this skill. | Try again when the conflicting buff ends. | (Verified) |
| You can't use your skills here. | Skills are disabled where you are. | Move elsewhere. | (Estimate) |
| You cannot use skills against members of your coalition. | The target is from your own coalition. | Pick another target. | (Verified) |
| You can't use this skill with that weapon. | The skill cannot be used with your weapon type. | Equip a suitable weapon. | (Verified) |
| Insufficient health. Insufficient mana points (MP). Insufficient fletta points (FP). | HP, MP or FP is below the skill's cost. | Drink a potion or regenerate in normal mode (Z). | (Verified) |
| The skill is unavailable. | Either the global cooldown or the skill's own cooldown is running; both give the same message. | Wait; spamming the key also shows this message. | (Verified) |
| The target is out of reach. | The target is out of range. Big monsters can be hit from a little further away. | Get closer. | (Estimate) |
