You have no specific rights to any of these items or characters except to use them in accordance with the rules set forth by the company. This is different than reselling the items you purchased in the boutique for in-game currency.

1. Item Selling
The selling of virtual/digital goods owned by Perfect World Entertainment for real monies is strictly forbidden except in any instance backed by the company.

2. Character Selling
Character selling is strictly forbidden. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

GMs can only be contacted through the in-game help system. Click on the System button on the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. From there, click the icon on the upper left that says GM. Once you click the GM button, it will allow you report a botter. The message will then be queued in the order in which it was received. Please have patience as the GMs receive many help tickets throughout the day.

Contacting a GM once is sufficient. Your issue will not be processed any faster if you file multiple tickets; in fact, you are more likely to get a warning for abusing the system. So just remember that patience is a virtue and hang tight.

The Alt+Tab anomalies are a known issue. Alt+Tabbing is not officially supported by most video game developers, and Windows doesn't always handle it so well with 3D games. There are way too many possible configurations of PCs out there to try and support this because of the way Windows handles memory, how much RAM you have, how your virtual memory is setup, etc.

You might also try running the game in Windowed mode instead of Full Screen, and that should allow you to switch between the game and any other programs that you need to get to.

Also, installing East Asian Language Packs has been found to help some users with the game losing focus when running multiple programs and attempting to switch between them.  These languages can be found on the Windows Update website or your Windows installation CD.

This info is based on the issues we've dealt with on the forums and in emails from thousands of user's computers and configurations from the Tech Support and QA Teams.

Please note that some laptops are not designed for 3d gaming. Neither are netbooks (the super light, small screened laptops). Just because something runs Windows, doesn't mean it can run 3d games.

If your computer system was made in 2004 or before, you will have a challenge getting the game to run on your computer.

Unlike most other MMO's, Ether Saga's training system is quest-based. This means you should never kill a monster unless you have a quest for it. Always do all useful quests for your lvl. A useful quest is usually indicated by the reward, if it says you'll get exp (or treasure), it's a worthwhile quest. Note that Bulletin Board quests are last resorts, they give less exp than most other quests, but they're infinitely repeatable. Do those when you've run out of other quests to do. Also, you may want to prioritize Training quests, which have great rewards overall.

The Cloud is a quest reward from a lvl 12ish Training quest, so keep doing those and you'll get it. The cloud itself is a simple item: Use it as you would any other, and use Spacebar and Z to ascend/descend.

This is mostly a personal choice. You'll likely want a rank 130+ pet with good fusion stats (unless you want a healer). You're better off asking around on forums or ingame on what pet to pick though.

Your lvl is likely too low. Press L->Transformations->Card List to see a list of the monsters. If you hover over the image, you'll see the lvl needed to catch it. Also note that you may still fail, pet catching isn't 100%.

When making a character, you also have to choose a birthday. That birthday decides three of your skills, which you'll get at lvl 10, 30, and 50. To see the skills and decide your birthday, check http://eso-forum.perfectworld.com/sh...ad.php?t=24271

You can learn Gathering Skills from the Woodsman and Crafting Skills from the Craftsman. Both are in Pokari. You can only learn two skills, so pick the right ones. The best choice is likely your gear crafting skill: Skinning/Arcanecraft for Conjurers and Mystics, Mining/Guardiancraft for Dragoons and Shamans, and Woodcutting/Scoutcraft for Rangers and Rogues. To make things, you'll have to buy or obtain the recipe for it. Most recipes can be bought at the Craftsman, or dropped in instances. You can buy gathering tools at the Woodsman, and Crafting items at the Tool Merchant. The rest is self-explanatory.

There are two ways to get Ethyr skills:
*Instance drops:The first class-specific Ethyr drops in the first/second instance as a recipe. Other Ethyrs can drop in the other instances (not class-specific)
*Quests:Certain Ethyrs are rewards from quests.
Note that the Ethyr quests do NOT necessarily give Ethyr skills as rewards. They're just poorly named quests. If you're curious where to find a certain Ethyr, press K->Ethyr List and hover over the skill.

Usually, your quest log will have some green text in it. If you click on that green text, you'll start running (or flying) to that point automatically.

You likely have another quest for the same monster. In this game, quest killcounts don't stack (or shouldn't, at least), meaning that if you have two quests asking for 30 Jaqisac Arsons, you'll have to kill 60 of them. This is because you'd lvl way too fast otherwise, by simply grabbing 10 quests for the same monster off the bulletin board, then killing very few of them to gain mass exp.

For the events in Dream:Trials, they're daily. Just talk to Chauncy to go to the Trials, then to Jino to go to Pokari. Events are on the east and west sides of town and repeatable every day.
There are also events in Pokari (non-Trials Pokari, that is). They're at fixed times, go to http://eso-forum.perfectworld.com/sh...ad.php?t=40671 to see them. Note that if you don't finish these quests within the hour they're available, the quest will be stuck in your quest log until the NPC shows up again and you talk to him. Make sure you have enough time before starting the event (they end exactly on the hour, so don't start one if your clock says xx:55).

These quests are entirely optional and should never be started unless you have the complete puzzle ready to be delivered. To get puzzle pieces, do Bulletin board quests, you'll randomly get a piece after finishing those.

You're killing the wrong one. There are two Baahu's, one inside the Crypt of Hunters reachable by talking to Chauncy, and one on the overworld Crypt of Hunters west of Pokari. Kill the one you haven't killed yet.

They seem tough at first, but you should be fine with a good squad of a tanker (high HP is more important than defense, make sure the tank is fused with a high HP pet) with Pokari Wine or Etherhop Brew, 1-2 Mystics, and some damage dealers. That's the general setup.

A verify from the launcher should fix that.

For gear, socket it until it breaks or absorb it into a soulstone. If you don't want to do that, or the item isn't gear, use the Master of Coalescence in Pokari. Note that this will take 7 days to destroy the item.

The possessor is obtained from a lvl 20ish training quest, so just keep doing those quests to get it. After obtaining your first possessor, you can get another one by doing the Tusko Rampager puzzle quest. Note that possessors have a time limit - use it too much and it'll disappear.
As for Jadeons, you can get one of those from Wehn every day. They only last 3 hours.
For a detailed guide on the possessor's functions, check http://eso.perfectworld.com/guide/extra_possessor

You can get green-glowing armor from instances. Boots and Tops usually glow right away when dropped, but you'll only get recipes for the glowing headgear, so you'll have to make those yourself.
You can also make armor and weapons glow by imbuing/embedding them, but I'm afraid I don't know the exact formula for that. It seems to depend on the level of the equipment and some other factors. I've even seen weapons that start glowing after upgrading them twice (spirit upgrade through levelling).

There are three ways to do this:
*Use the mail function at a postbox, this costs 5 silver per stack of items though.
*Have a trustworthy friend transfer them.
*Drop the items in a remote location, then relog to the other character to pick them back up.
Note that Perfect world Entertainment can not be held responsible for any lost items.

You get a few cards from quests, but most of them are rare monster drops. Just hope you get lucky.

Every diplomatic item has a chance to drop from any lvl 15+ (Blueback Knucklers and such being lvl 15 exactly) monster. You'll just need luck.

They add set bonuses to your gear. For example, it may add a bonus to your top if you wear the indicated headgear.

The best ways to make money are:
*The lvl 20+ romance quest: It's a daily quest started at the Eldest Matchmaker in Pokari. It gives a nice amount of money.
*Killing elite monsters: Sometimes, you'll see a rare, named monster walking around. Kill it for a good amount of money and some Diplomatic items you can sell or keep.
*Selling stuff: Obvious.

Treasure is a special currency you get from quests. You can use it to Embed/Imbue gear, buy Potions, and buy Pet food. If I missed anything, please let me know. Try to always use treasure before money unless you're really rich, because money is a lot harder to come by.

Those are cash shop items. Press J ingame to open the cash shop. You'll need to charge Zen at https://billing.perfectworld.com/ , which means spending real money. However, you can also buy the items from other players, or the cash shop currency at the Pokari Broker.

Pick whatever suits you best. The opinions of other people are not your opinion. We can't help you decide what class to choose, that's your choice alone.
For a quick summary of the classes, check http://eso.mmosite.com/info/class and the class boards on this forum.

Usually, your class indicates what affinities you should learn. Check your skills. If the majority says "Pyra element" for example, you're likely best off adding Pyra. Check the class boards on this forum for more specific information.

You can challenge anyone anywhere to a duel by rightclicking their avatar and selecting duel. As for PK, you're forced into a permanent state of open PK at lvl 45. This means anyone can attack you, and you can attack anyone, if they're lvl 45+ as well. However, there are severe consequences to random PK'ing - you'll lose a lot of items if you die after killing other people, so don't be afraid you'll get killed all the time.

Most titles are rewards from General Scruffins and some Bulletin Board quests. However, there are quite a few other titles, and it's impossible to list them all. If you see a title you don't know, ask on the forums or ingame

You can make a screenshot by pressing the Print Screen button. To make better screenshots, press F9 and use that tool. Screenshots are saved in C://Program files/Perfect world Entertainment/Ether Saga online/element/screenshots by default.
