Hello. I am new to this game. Just a quick question. How do I join a party? It's not giving me the option to join one.

Been playing awhile and heard about vendor levels time to time. Is there somewhere in the wiki or in-game where I can read about these? Or could someone just explain it.

Does anyone know what this is? I've only seen them in starlight slumber 3, and there were four of them somewhat close to each other. They charge 5 energy to open, or whatever they do. I did not activate them.

I have all the materials, energy, and crowns to do it, but doesn't let me. :| Any reason why?

So, you get 100 energy at max "free" a day, and it costs 10 points to go down a level, but the maximum depth is much deeper than the 10 levels that would allow... so how do you go lower than 10?

Is it something to do with tiers, and using 100 energy from multiple days to gradually go deeper? something else? or is it actually a way to force you to buy crystal energy?

How does this system work?
Rarely I see Basil the Vendor down in a gate and even rarer than that does he have a recipe for me that I don't know.
How can I find this merchant?
When will he sell me 3* and 4* recipes?

What the hell is the "Ruby King" and what gates have Moorcraft in them? How do i get those T1 stamps? and what are T1's Ruby king's areas?
(This is a copy + paste from some other place because i'm too sleepy to think of something without breaking my brain)

Nevermind this

Who are the mods/admins/devs? How can they be identified when they decide to post outside of Announcements forum? (o_ o;)

Hey,

I'm very new to the game (about a day of puttering around in the tutorial area), and have started looking into upgrading my current weapons (the starter weapons)... but I don't really get how to compare the different items in-game.
