13.  How do I get Pets?
Answer: 
Pets can be bought on the Market.  They can also be obtained while doing the Land of Fairy Monsters Instance.

19.  I left an instance and re-entered but now there are no mobs? (Stairs of the Firmament, Cobalt Dragon Peak)
Answer: 
These two instances require killing ALL mobs inside the instance before respawning can occur.  30 seconds after killing the final mob in the instance, the mobs will are able to respawn and you can reset the instance.  If one mob remains alive inside the instance and you try to reset the instance, your reset will still be spent but the instance will still remain empty
except for that one mob.

Answer:
Initially, Wings can be obtained through the item Wings of Light, which is part of the First-Time Top-Up Giftpack.  Different versions of Wings can be obtained by using Wings of Light and other materials and synthesizing them in the Xuanyuan Forge.  These materials are mostly obtained through either the Land of Creation or the Skygate Instance.

After equipping a pair of Wing you can press the ‘F’ hotkey or the ‘Fly’icon in the bottom right corner to enter ‘Flying Mode’.  In this mode your character is able to move unhindered over terrain that you would ordinarily not be able to cross while mounted or on foot.

22.  Mobs keep respawning over and over again in Level 9 and 10 of the Trial of the Six Realms?  Why can’t I get past this level?
Answer: 
On Level 9 it is important that you kill the Boss and his clones within the same 10 second period otherwise he will repeatedly regenerate.  On Level 10, the ‘respawn’ is actually just successive waves of mob that you must defeat to progress through to the next Level.

23.  What do I have to do in Nuwa's Trial?
Answer: 
After entering the instance you must quickly kill the four packs of mobs situated in each corner.  This will release Guardians who will help you defeat the monsters that are about to attack Nuwa.  Should Nuwa’s health fall to 0, you fail the mission and the instance ends.

24.  How do I leave a Guild?
Answer:
In the Guild Window, click on your own name, and select Leave Guild from the pop-up window.

Answer: 
EXP yielded by a monster is based upon how much damage you did to it.  If all the damaged received by a monster came from you, then you will receive full EXP from it.  However, as often happens in online games, if another player also damages the same monster, the EXP will be shared between the two of you, based upon how much damage each person did.

Answer:
For a more detailed explanation of character stats, go here:

69. What is the reset time for this game? (Reset as in instances entry/ quest entry etc)
A1: The server timezone is +8GMT . Basically for +8GMT players , the reset time will be 12am Midnight.

70. Why can't I use bound ingots to buy things in Shop(Hotkey S)
A: Bound ingots aka. Credits. Can be only be used in Credits section in the shop. Its function is very limited. But it is not completely useless either.

71. Where can I top up ingots and how?
A: Upper-right below your mini map. Click Ingot-Top up and choose your most preferred method.

72. Can I get ingots for free?
A: No, you MAY get one if there's event. Or you can ask some from your mentor(if you have one) . But please, DON'T BEG FOR IT LOL. ( Or use your mom's credit card trololol )

73. Where can I earn fast unbound coins?
A: In the instance 'Alchemist Cave' , you can earn about 50S-1G each run. But incase if you haven't notice, the Normal mode only gives you bound coins. Heroic mode gives you unbound coins. So be really cautious about this as you can only run 3times per day.

74. I started late in a server, what is the best way to chase up? (For cashers) (Level 30-80)
A: In a instance called 'The forging 6 Realms' . By using 5ingots, you can slay a boss for 300k exp. The boss is very weak, so you'll be able defeat it in about a minute. And its 5ingots EACH boss. And you can only be in the instance IF you are below 'World Level' and for 60minutes each day.

75. So if I am a non-casher, does that mean I will not be able to level up easily?
A: To be honest, in the close beta server which everyone has 5000+ or more ingots have trouble with leveling up once they reach about... level 37 (for me) so its not really 'unfair'. You can do Mundane Quest 10times a day ( 91k Exp each quest for me ) . So that's already 910k EXP. And also, alot of other instances can help you with your leveling.

76. At what level can I create a guild?
A: If I am not mistaken, at level 30. You will need a 'Guild Pass' . How do you get one? Easy, on your upper right, click on Events---World Boss---Evil King Kong . By slaying that Evil KK , it'll drop a guild pass. And then you can create a guild :) (FYI:you can't buy a pass with ingots)

77. Most of the things(item,equipment etc) have different colors on their name.
A: The color is to define their rarity. Here is the sequence from the commonest to the rarest (incase if you don't understand, just treat it as weakest to the strongest for equipment) . White----Green-----Blue-----Purple-----Orange

78. I got stuck in an instance. I can't move ( this is a bug, happens to me several times )
A: Don't panic, you can LEAVE the instance and then reenter again without 'restarting' . It works for me, so if it fails for you, don't blame me.

79. How do I finish my guild quest?
A: Maybe I'm really stupid but, this sh*t got me stuck forawhile. To do this guild quest, you will be given 4'sequence' that you prefer. If I am not mistaken, you have to follow the sequence in order to get the 'rewards' and finish the guild quest. And the sequence MUST NOT be mixed around.

80. I have not enough 'Giftedness' to level up my Skills.
A: Well, I haven't max my skills too. But I know ways to get Giftedness. First, by being online for 1hour, you will be rewarded 'Giftedness' not sure how much though. And you can be online for 3 hours to be gifted 3 times (max only 3 times) . Or you can do the Guild quest (follow the sequence with the Giftedness reward)
