Edit: I'm back! Updating the guide slowly, please read the first few introduction paragraphs as they explain a lot, and are more important than the actual step by step guide.

Since Steam released F2P games, lots of new players have entered the game, and CE prices have dropped dramatically. Now, since we have an Auction house as well, it is increasingly harder to be self-sustaining within a week. I have added some new notes at the end of this guide to compensate for this being somewhat out of date. Please check the MORE EXTRAS section for this new information.

I just got enough equipment to start Tier 2 levels. I was just wondering if it was better to start from the beginning or start from the Tier 2 levels? Since it costs about 70 energy just to get down there.

Didn't his recipes get randomized every day midnight PST?? Why my recipe list is the same as it was yesterday?

From wiki:

A Stranger merchant in the Bazaar district of Haven. This vendor offers a list of low-level (0-1*) recipes which are randomized per player every day at midnight PST.

Thanks in advance.

I have 2 questions hope someone can answer me

I got Winmillion yesterday,I test it's on Depth 1 with Wolver set
lv1 deal 22+9(projectile) ,lv10 deal same dmg on Depth 1,why it's dmg not increase by lv?

lv10 Calibur can deal more dmg than Winmillion at Depth 1(34dmg)
but Winmillion's stat icon show it's has at least twice attack power than Calibur
why?

Which gate should I take? One NPC says I should take the first gate into the clockworks to get to Haven, but then there's the other gate at the top of the camp which takes me to Haven?

Will I legitimately make more crowns with a 4 player party than if I go solo? How much more?

It might be a nooby question, I know, but I want to make my investments count. The situation is, is that I have an Angelic body and helmet armor, which means that wearing that will make my character more vulnerable to fire. I am trying to balance it out by possibly equipping a fire shield so I could be somewhat more resistant against fire (I'm thinking of getting the Horned Owl or Drake Scale Shield).

I'm a new Recruit or so. Just started a couple of days ago. I just noticed this on the first screen of the game.

What's a "Sega pass"? :)

I'm wondering.
Does it only increase when it levels up, or when creeps up the heat meter?

Like.... would a level 5 tempered calibur with half of its heat meter filled do more damage than a newly level 5 tempered calibur with only 1/4 of its heat filled?

I'm not really new (been here about a week), but I've been wondering this. People in the Bazaar are saying "WTS" and "WTB" and stuff like that. What do those mean? Will Trade Stuff/Will Trade...Bananas?
