Q: How come I can't pass the mission "Time to Get Crafty"?
A: You need to have BOTH a Hot Edge and a Frost Gun in your inventory that can be acquired by the AH, crafting via the recipes you got, or if you are the luckiest player in SK, as a drop from boxes. Be sure that you do not have these items equipped, however the weapons you turn in do not have to be bound nor unbound. You cannot do this mission more than once.
Q: How come people don't want to take me to EFSC?
A: If you don't have either a Blitz Needle, Plague Needle, or a Shivermist Buster, or possibly decent elemental/shadow armor, then of course you will not want to be taken to Elite, however, some players will gladly take you to either Advanced or Normal difficulty. And please, no asking to go to FSC of ANY difficulty if your equipment contains 3* items. That is what RJP is for.
Q: What are the best locations to find Orbs?
A: 1*= The Collecter, 2*= Snarbolax/Faith ih Armor, 3*= Depth 9/9-11 Arcade run spam (try to go to arenas), 4*= Rise or Fall, 5*= EFSC/In Cold Blood/The Great Escape. Ignore most enemies and go straight for boxes.
Q: How do I get a profile pic?
A: Next to the search bar, click on Forum Preferences, then click the desired picture.
Q: How do I use the Forge?
A: Your weapon/armor that you wish to forge must have the orange heat bar COMPLETLY filled. Next, you should open the Forge and input the maximum possible Fire Crystals (NEVER go less because you will end up spending more by using the 20-70% chance of success). Repeat 5-8 more times for each item (not necessary for 0* or 2* items).
Q: Where to find Fire Crystals?
A: Buy 0-1* crystals via Vatel, 2*= S1-S3 runs, 3*=S4 runs, 4*= In Cold Blood, 5*= EFSC. DO NOT BUY CRYSTALS FROM THE AH OR FROM THE SUPPLY DEPOT OR FROM OTHER PLAYERS AS YOU ARE MUCH BETTER OF FARMING FOR THEM!!!
Q: When should I buy a UV ticket?
A: Really, never. If you want a ticket, upgrade the item to 5*, fully heat it, and promise you will almost always use that item, then open a Forge Prize box and use that UV ticket on that item. Don't start a tanterum if you got Beast low on your WRH.
If you have or know any other commonly asked questions, be sure to post it up here so that other players can see.
Re your Q/A about the Forge, with 3* gear only go to level 5, that is the minimum required level to upgrade to 4* so heating it further is a waste of crystals, unless you do not intend to upgrade the item to 4*. For instance, heating gear for tier 2 Lockdown.
