Ok so I finally hit lvl 30 and had a few questions

1. The lunarshade stones that I get every 5 hours, what should I do with them? I am currently using one of them and it lasts for like 6 days, so I get like 10 of them before 1 is used up. These are becoming a problem because my stashkeep is half way full and my inventory is almost full too.

2. Should I level my pet? I hear that the skills are not worth it and for most of the time now I am using my esper. So is the pet really worth leveling

3. Which is better to buy mount or skyblade? Also how much do they cost.

4. Should I be using those recipes or w/e they are called since I am 30? Since I lost Heavy blow it takes a while to kill monsters, so I should be making better equipment.

Thats it for now I will post more when I think of some.

before lvl 91 you will just need them every now and then when you
relog your client, to fill up the red energy bar on your esper. after
lvl 90, starting 91, you will use energy so you will need the lunars.
to get rid of them, just npc them to make room in your inventory. you
should keep just 1 in your bag


2. Should I level my pet? I hear that the skills are not worth it and for most of the time now I am using my esper. So is the pet really worth leveling
pets can be useful when you level them, however, there is a difference
in a pet's level and a pet's grade. basically the higher its grade, the
higher the stats of the pet will be in the end. just like bloodsmelting
your esper. the growth of the stats will be higher. it's best to level
with a pet grade 8 or higher, because then it can take some damage and
do some damage too. try to level up your pet when you're higher level
yourself because the pet potions etc cost money (10g for the cheapest
pet battery, which lasts around 2hrs at my level).


3. Which is better to buy mount or skyblade? Also how much do they cost.
before level 90, your skyblade doesn't use any energy, so a skyblade
is very handy before that. after that, it costs money so you should just
use one then if you can afford it. mounts cost nothing but you cant fly
with them obviously. flying is handy for some quests where you need the
sky dweller in sunstream city, but if you have a female char, a male can
drop you off there too, or someone can make you a portal charm. if you
don't get a skyblade, then at lvl 60 (i think) you can get a free 3day
skyblade every week, so you won't be skyblade-less forever.

a mount costs over 1k these days, thats the cheap mounts. the cheapest
skyblades cost around 900g, that's regular (legendary) glisters. the
downside on a mount is that it doesn't keep its value because it's bound
and you will not be able to sell it again if you're tired of it. a
skyblade you can always resell so basically you won't really lose any
money on it.


4. Should I be using those recipes or w/e they are called since I am 30? Since I lost Heavy blow it takes a while to kill monsters, so I should be making better equipment.
don't bother with recipes untill you're higher level. crafting costs
a lot of materials, and that eventually equals a lot of money. it can be
a very effective way to earn money with, crafting or refining gear for
others, but in the beginning you will just lose money on it. partly because
you need a high craft level to craft what people want (lvl 90+ gear).
talk to tanis ka in sunstream to pick up a "high lvl" set daily. it starts
with a lvl 45 set, when you're 45+ you can get a lvl 60 set, and all up
to lvl 90. the quest is called future heroes, and the gear is bound. but
it does get you free sets of gear, you can try refine those before you get
to the level to wear them.


Thats it for now I will post more when I think of some.

Tyvm :D So is there a way to buy back lunarshade's after I sell them?
And the last question is if this game makes the people who use marketplace a lot stronger? Since they sell some cards for market place points at gamestop I think I should be able to get some (parents won't ever let me buy game stuff from online) but I don't want to get to a high lvl to find out I can't do much without spending a lot of cash in the marketplace.

no you can't buy them back. but after lvl 90 you can
buy item mall energy batteries, people sell those in the
trade realm, or you can get energy by killing princes or
corrupteds, they give you tornahowls that last about 10
minutes, or you can kill snowmen that give lunars.


And the last question is if this game makes the people who use marketplace a lot stronger?
nope it doesn't. because we can buy marketplace coins
from other players with ingame money, so basically anyone
can get stuff from the marketplace.

Alright I think I am finally getting the hang of this game, only waiting for expansion to come out so I can make my archer xD I went fishing 3 times and got 3 fishing certificates ( I hear they are good money ) so I shouldn't be completely broke
