so many questions!
to create a new character. right after you login, you can pick your charac. just click on "create new" or something.
the skills take a certain amount of SP. after you reach a mastery level of five, skills begin to appear. to get more skills, upgrade your mastery levels.
not sure how many points you add, but after you click on it, it should automatically pop up saying do you wish to use this much "so and sO" points to purchase this skill. blah blah blah.
just get whatever skills you want. people say just stick to 3 skill trees, cause you won't have enough skill points to do all of them. i hear that self heal isn't as good. just get the user heal, because then you can just click yourself and heal yourself also.
i started farming at level 1. lol. it got kinda boring. and whenever i run out of quests and haven't leveled up to get another quest, i just go to a difference of about 6 so i can level up faster. i'm level 18 now with about 2.4k in sp. i'm thinking about just sticking to a 5 level diff from here on out.
yet if you haven't started farming. you can right now. just odn't upgrade your mastery levels anymore.
but remember if you sp farm, you level up much much much slower. all my freinds are already in the 25+ and i'm still stuck in the 18.
whatever you want to do. get more SP, or level up faster.
