Frequently Asked Questions
<Fighters>
Q: How do I fight with other players ?
A: All you have to do to fight others is select the player from the dropdown menu and select "OK" when "look for another player" is highlighted. If you find that player (If they are in town, you will always find them. If they are roaming, you may spend a HP trying to find them and fail) and they are another fighting class you can select the "fight" option and you fight them. It will tell you the result of the fight including how much damage was done, and special abilities that worked, any items that were stolen/broken/upgraded and any gold award you may have gotten. Then it will take you to a screen to leave a message. You should leave messages as it's polite and friendly. You can do this for any other player as long as your attack isn't higher then theirs (after the defender bonus of +1 attack, you cant have a gap wider then 4 attack below yours to fight). Once you fight someone, you canft fight them again for a while, usually about a day, but sometimes as little as an hour or so.
Q: I bought a weapon but I can't use. Why !?
A: Available weapons are limited. Please check Database carefully before purchasing weapon.
Q: I bought a rare (red) weapon. I thought I could use it, but I couldn't. Why?
A: Low class players can't use rare weapons. If you haven't paid 4000G at the temple, you're low class.
Q: What does item's color mean?
A: There are six kinds of special colored items.
Red items
Rare items. Only middle and high-class players can use and they're sturdier than normal weapons.
Blue items
Original weapons. Available normal weapons are strictly limited, but all the fighting players can use original weapons.
Gold items
Named original weapons. They sometimes grow up and become better ones. All the fighting players can use them.
Purple items
Items with special ability. Please read Database for detail.
Pale green items
Light items. They won't be your load however many you have. In addition, Chocoboes carry your items, so the limit of your items increase as long as Chocoboes belong with you.
Orange items
High caloric food. It's insignificant for fighter to distinguish orange items and others, but if civilians eat a high caloric food, they become fat until their HP becomes 1.
Q: I'm a fighting player. Can I sell my items?
A: No. Fighting players can't sell items to other players basically. The only player you can sell items is the pawn ([0000] Cologne).
Q: I killed my opponent, but didn't get bounty. Why?
A: You get bounty only when you kill a bounty head in red letter (100G or above) Check Bounty player list in the menu.
Q: I always say don't attack me, but they still attack. What should I do?
A: At first, fighting players can't avoid fighting. As far as you're a fighting player, you have to fight, fight, and continue to fight! However, if you don't want to be attacked anyway, you can use hiding tools like "Thick Glasses" or "Sunglasses." "Decoy" may be useful, too. If there're no hiding tools or decoys in market, you can "Save outside the town" when you save. However, opponents may find you in that case and you heal very slowly.
Q: What do acronyms after weapon's name mean?
A: Those acronyms mean special skills that the weapon has. SA(DE) -> Second Attack, MGC -> Black Magic, VSB -> VS Bounty +1 or +2, RBN -> Robbing, BWI -> Bewitching, IMP -> Impregnability, SAR -> Steel Armor, CRM -> Charm, PT -> Poison Tolerance, VNG -> Vengefulness, SPN -> Sponsor, CHD -> Critical Hit Defense, STD -> Sturdy Weapon
Q: I was taken over by an Agent. What should I do ?
A: You'd better go to [9001] Beauty Salon -Golden- or [9002] Beauty Salon -Silvery- and purchase a new avatar.
Q: I was cursed! Why, and what should I do?
A: Sometimes you're cursed when you kill a player (especially when you kill a NEW player). The curse will decrease you defense points. The only item that can remove the curse is an Amulet. To avoid this problem, you'd better attack strong players or bounty heads (over 100G). Equipping a "Saint" item is a good way, too. You never kill a player when you equip it.

A: When civilians buy items from civilians (except for NPCs), they have to pay "extra charge."

A: It indicates player's business result. If you achieve certain business points, you'll get bonus. To get more business points, you should sell items as expensive as possible. And you'll get many points.

Q: The pawn doesn't sell items to me. Why?
A: The pawn is controlling the number of items to avoid buyout by someone. Please wait saveral hours in that case and you can buy from the pawn again. However, you can buy cheap items (less than 10G) even if the pawn doesn't sell you expensive items.
Q: The record says "You returned a part of your profits to society by spreading xxxG to other players." I don't want to spread!
A: You automatically spread money when you sell cheap item at a very high price, but your money will be a gift for fighters. So you'd better think that's a kind of advertisement. You'll find many people will thank you.
Q: When I used a cryptex, I found a strange code such like "Grrr... An old man! An old man win!". What's this?
A: This is an anagram. If you sort alphabets correctly, you'll get how to compose items. For example, "Grrr... An old man! An old man win!" is an anagram for "Normal Wand and Normal Ring." That means you'll get a new item when you compose a Normal Wand and a Normal Ring.

Frequently Asked Questions
<Experts>
Q: I got a Cloarkroom ticket, but I couldn't use it. Why?
A: There are some kinds of Cloarkroom tickets, and you can use only once for each. And the sequence of tickets is determined. You should use plain "Cloakroom Ticket" at first, and you can use "Silver Cloakroom Ticket" next time. You can't use "Silver Cloakroom Ticket" before using "Cloakroom Ticket."
Q: What is the difference between Broken items and Damaged items?
A: The pawn judges Damaged items sellable and civilians who have Recycle skill can make Mithril Piece from them, but Broken items are not sellable. So the pawn just resales them to ragmen and they disappear from the game.
Q: Why doesn't the pawn buy items from me?
A: There are two cases that the pawn doesn't buy items from you. (a) You're regarded as a rude person at [9015] Popularity Poll. (b) The system detected your lavish expenditure. To avoid this problem, you should be a good person, and don't buy needless items.
Q: My brave points decreased suddenly. Why ?
A: If you want to keep your brave points, there're two things you shouldn't do. 1) Saving outside the town. 2) Saving without reviving when you're killed by someone. However, using hiding items like thick glasses, sunglasses, or a glass mask won't decrease your brave points.
Q: I can't sell my Trophies (or Torn Patent Rolls). What should I do?
A: Just keep it. If you collect some of them, something will occur.
