Q&A

Q: Can I skip cut scenes?

• A: Most cut scenes can be skipped by clicking the “Skip” button (it looks like a fast-forward button) that appears in the interface panel to the right of the game window during cut scenes.

Q: How do I tell who other players are?

• A: Simply clicking on another player in the overworld will display their name, class and level in the text output pane.

Q: What is the difference between a PvP server and a PvE server?

• A: PvP is shorthand for Player vs. Player. Such servers on NEStalgia allow for unrestricted fighting between teams of players once all members for both teams are level 10 or higher so long as the teams are not in a safe zone such as inside a town. PvE is shorthand for Player vs. Environment. Unlike a PvP server, all inter-player combat on a PvE server must be agreed to by both sides regardless of location or level. In most every other aspect (monster combat, item drops, class choices, etc) the two types of server are identical.

Q: How do I trade items or gold?

• A: You must be first be grouped with the other player. Once in a group, clicking on an item in your inventory shows the option to give it to a group member. Also, a small “Give Gold” button appears above your gold total in the inventory menu. Click on this button then on the target player to transfer gold.

Q: Is there a place to store gold and items?

• A: There are several banks and vaults located around the world that allow you to store your gold and items. You will find the first bank and vault on the main floor of Balzackia Castle to the right of the entrance.

Q: What is the level difference at which two people in a party can no longer gain exp and gold?

• A: A party can have at most a level difference of 7 before XP/gold can not be gained.
  • i.e., if a level 21 parties with a level 14, they're good, but as soon as the level 21 gains a level, XP/gold goes down to zero for both of them.

Q: How do I assign Hot Keys?

• A: Enter a battle, select Ability and select Assign Hotkey at the bottom. Choose the skill you desire then select one of the nine available boxes. At the moment it is not possible to change hotkey #1, which is locked in as performing a normal attack.

Q: Where is the Reforged Key?

• A: The Reforged Key is not in the game yet.

Q: What is this black and red thing moving around the map?

• A: That black and red thing is the Shade. Shade is a roaming boss that should only be attempted by groups of high level characters. Don't listen to people who tell you to engage it by yourself.

Q: What are daily quests and how do they differ from normal quests?

• A: Daily quests are quests that can be completed multiple times by the same character, but only once a day. This distinguishes them from normal quests which a character can only receive credit for once. Some daily quests are only available on certain days of the week, such as the Monster Hunt quest available in the Black Sanctum.

Q: Which companion is the best fit for my class?

• A: There is no such companion that is clearly the best for any class. For example, a wizard can benefit from having a Micro Monk, Red Slime, Zombie, Icer, Flamer or any of the other possible choices as a companion. In short, do not be afraid to experiment with different companions in order to find ones that you feel comfortable with.

Q: What are badges and where do I use them?

• A: There are currently two types of badge in the game: Colosseum Badges and Sanctum Badges.
  • Colosseum badges, with the exception of certain holiday-exclusive events, can only be acquired by participating in or being present for the start of an official PvP tournament. These badges can be used to purchase equipment, medium resilience seeds, and certain masks and clothing dyes from shops found inside the colosseum.
  • Sanctum badges are acquired solely by completing quests found in the Black Sanctum and its inner keep. Sanctum badges can be used to purchase equipment along with various types of medium seed from vendors found inside of and just outside of the Sanctum.
