Q: What are resources used for?
A: Resources (Food, Wood, Iron and Stone) are currently used for Clan buildings and Housing.
Q: How do I get better tools for harvesting?
A: Each area has progressively better tools. Bear in mind that you will need the previous area’s tools and increasing harvest levels and crystals in order to purchase them. E.g. To obtain an Opal Axe (Tier 2 tool), you will need 25 crystals, level 50 Woodcutting and a Plastic Axe.

A: Use for these will be included into the game sometime after Housing is added in.

Nobility, Fame and Stamina
Q: What is Nobility and how can I get it?
A: Nobility can be obtained by purchasing Crystals from the Crystal Shop using real world money. It’s a measure of how much money you’ve spent on the game. It currently is only used to grant titles.
Q: How do you get titles?
A: Titles will be granted as you reach certain fame and nobility milestones and earned during certain promo’s. You can also create your own custom title by going to Account Management > Titles > Custom Titles.
Q: What benefit do titles give?
A: Absolutely nothing, they’re just there to make you look cool.
Q: How do I change my title?
A: Go to Account Management > Titles.
Q: What is Fame and how can I get it?
A: Fame is the “achievement points” of the game. You can gain fame by completing various actions in the game, such as killing mobs and harvesting resources.
Q: Where is the Fame Shop?
A: Milestones > Fame Shop.
Q: Do I lose my progress towards my next milestone if I spend fame in the shop?
A: Your total fame accumulated is always tracked separately from fame spent. Your progress will not be affected.
Q: How does Stamina work?
A: Stamina represents the number of times you can complete an action (either battling or harvesting) without user input. It is not a time-restricted resource, though, and can be refilled indefinitely without any cost to you.
Q: What effect does Fatigue have?
A: When you're out of stamina, you become fatigued. You'll keep fighting even if you're fatigued, but your action timer will get slower. The slowdown increases every fight while you're out of stamina, to a maximum of 4x the default action timer. The 4x slowdown happens when you've been fatigued for as many fights as you have stamina (e.g., 20 fights with the default stamina of 20).

Q: Does it cost anything to sell on the Market?
A: Nope.
Q: What weapon is the best?
A: There is no “best” weapon to use. Best practice is to pick your favorite and roll with that. For those of you who like a little more detail, though, here’s the breakdown:
According to the numbers, Sword and Bow are about equal, with Staff lagging just a little bit behind and Unarmed having the lowest damage of the bunch. That said, your results may vary.
