The best way to obtain items for yourself is the auction system. Auctions allow players
to bid or buy directly items they would never normally obtain themselves. To locate the
nearest auction house, ask a guard in the local city where to find them. Auctions can run
up to twenty-four hours, so make sure you check the status of the auction. Auctions that
state the time to completion is “very long” tend to get outbid.

• Artifacts have never been seen but are probably only dropped off raid
encounters.
• Some items such as armor can have a durability. When an item’s
durability reaches 0, the item no longer has any effect until repaired. To
repair an item, talk to an item vendor, many can repair items for you at a
cost. Repair costs are not very expensive on common and uncommon
items, so it’s little more than a minor annoyance most of the time.
• Items also have level requirements, enemies tend to drop items five
levels below them (unless early on), so you should be able to equip most
items that are dropped.
There are some items you will see thoughout the game that you should save to sell on
auction. These are ingredients that other professions will want, if you see them, don’t
vendor them!
As mentioned before, the very best way to obtain good items is to kill elite monsters, it is
even better to kill instance monsters and even better drops come off of raids. Here are
some of the epic (Purple) items you can find within the game that are weapons,
accesories, or cloth items. Still working on leather and mail armor for the next update.
Assume that items drop off enemies 5-10 levels above their minimum level or level 58+

1.2.11 Zones
There are two types of zones, open and instanced. Open zones are areas which any
player can interact with any other player. Your starting location is an open zone, you
interact with several players and have fun.
The second type of zone is known as an instance. Instance zones can be thought of as
your own personal playground. These special zones become available around level
fifteen.
Within an instanced zone, only you and players of your group or raid can enter.
Instanced zones are full of elite monsters, so either be many many levels above them, or
bring friends. Instance zones tend to give the player the most experience, rewards, and
money.
1.2.12 Currency
Currency takes shape in three materials, copper, silver, and gold. One-hundred copper
translates into one silver and one-hundred silver is equal to one gold. The game does
this automatically for you, so you’ll never need to go around shouting, “Want to change
101 silver into 1 gold!” or anything similar to that.
1.2.13 Items
Items give your character power. Medium-level items tend to have increases to skills
with them, higher level items can sometimes have abilities of their own like shocking all
nearby enemies or graining healing.
Items come in seven differing colors, poor (grey), common (white), uncommon (green),
rare/superior (blue), epic (purple), legendary (orange), and artifact.
• You tend to get poor and common items from monsters early on, some of
the early poor and uncommon make suitable gear for a while, but quickly
looses its appeal. After early levels, poor and common items tend to
become something you should just sell for money.
• Uncommon items drop off normal monsters, but tend to drop more
frequently off of elite and unique monsters. Uncommon items will be the
most common item in your inventory until level 60.
• Rare items are much like uncommon items, but they only drop off of
monster who are in their twenties. You may not see many rare items
yourself unless you participate in group-quests and raids.
• Epic items only appear in high levels and are very hard to find. You may
only ever have four or five in your possession. These items are very hard
to find and sell very very well.
• You may never even see a legendary item unless you participate in group
raids. Legendary items tend to only drop off monsters in raids or in the
50s and 60s. If you get one of these, sell it for a mint or keep it for
yourself, but guard it with your life.
1.2.10 Raids
Raids are very large groups of up to forty players. Raid content is designed for these
large groups filled with players who are level 60. Raids tend to fail unless full, so are
best suited for guilds. Raid groups enjoy the best items (if they get them in the roll) but
have the worst experience gain (not that it matters since most players have hit the level
cap of sixty.
