  - How the hell do I enter map chat? I can't seem to 'chat in blue' only 'in white'.
  Type /Map yourmessage here (Notice the Capital M)
  
  - What is the average time it'll take to get to let's say lvl 30?
  if its your first time playing, this could take from 3 days to a week.
  
  - Is it useless to play if I only got 2-3 hours per day?
  
  Not at all, but remember it takes a lot of time to level up in this game.
  
  - I'm a ranger now, but I find myself fighting with my sword alot, because it seems to do more dmg to higher lvl creatures, thus I lvl faster. Do I screw my toon up this way by fighting with swords?
  Yes, you will also need to level your ranged PT, or else you won't be able to wear the ranger armor. as soon as you make the first class change at lvl 30, you will be better with ranged weapons, rangers have a tough time lvl 1~30. its best to level all your PT's
  - At what lvl can a Bellato get a so called MAU?
  
  At lvl 30, but you need to be a driver class for that. its best to go Specialist -> Driver -> Armor rider if you want to drive a MAU,
  
  - How come I can't see the levels of players/enemies, I only see dots in their portret.
  they show their lvl compared to you. I think full dots is at least +6 lvl's from you. basicly remember, when the up right blue dot in the mob name window shines, avoid it.
  
  I certainly have more question, but I can't think of them now, thanks in advance.

  Ok, thanks .

  About the specialist class, what use are they in combat, are they better at range or in melee?

  Correction in the dots area:
  
  A dot on both sides of that little window of the current target means its ur lvl.
  
  1 dot means 1 lvl or more below urs...no dots means no exp or pt can be received from killing those MoBs
  
  3 dots means 1 lvl higher then you
  
  4 dots 2 lvls higher then you
  
  5 dots means 3 lvls higher then you (best lvl to attack a mob for PT when solo)
  
  6 dots means 4 lvls higher then you or more depending on that shiney blow circle showing up or not...its larger then the rest.
  
  
  

  Have to put something up!

  They're not really useful in combat... If you're a Bellato specialist turning into a driver, I'd say focus your PT grinding on knife and shield. Here's a run down why...
  
  The MAU, while it may seem awesome and all-powerful, is really not that great by itself. MAUs are support units, tanks that take damage while your other Bellato buddies dish out the painful shit on the other races. That's why MAUs have such ridiculous HP. But because you can't pot (potion heal) your MAU while you're inside, you'll often find yourself having to eject because of dangerously low HP. If you don't, your MAU blows up and you have to buy/upgrade another one.... which is A BUTTLOAD of money. So level your knife and shield PTs to get awesome defense. That way, when you emergency eject out of your MAU, you don't DIE IMMEDIATELY.
  
  But in terms of outside the MAU, specialists aren't really that useful in combat. They're only useful for crafting, which sucks foot now because you can't craft intense gear. But that'll get better in Giga 4. So yeah...

  Wait... so so Bellato specialists are the only ones who can pilot MAUs?
  
  So what do the other races get as specialists?? it seems pretty gay if bellato are the only ones who get the benefit. why would anyone be a accretian or cora specialists then? goodness, i wouldn't if all i could do was craft.

  Accretians get Siege Cannons

  Cora get Summons

  btw for in game chatting...

  /m - Map Chat

  /g - Guild Chat

  /p - Party Chat

  7 dot Mobs (signified by big blue dot) means the mob can be anything from 5+ lvls above you. They give u more xp per hit / kill and also give u the best pt, but will cost u a lot in pots. Best to group up and kill them for faster xp (if ur pts are ok and u wanna pl)

  K, thanks all.
  So being a specialist using ranged weapons makes me total useless or what?

  So, now being lvl 15 I think I got the skill system, but I still don't know how I can get new attacks? How does it work?

  You're a specialist? Hm... then you don't get any new attacks. You get to craft. And drive at 30.

  Ok, fair enough.
