few hints for new players:
- at lvl35 you get one of the custom pets (dark zodiac, wall-e, undine etc.). it's a pet with fixed 4k growth, so more than enough for beginning.
- i recommend getting yourself a TDE asap (you could join a guild and ask for some help with it). it has a custom growth around 4k, and a decent aoe ulti

- there is no 'free zen' here. but zen is not that important. 99% of zen items can be bought at ophelia npc (near kardanny) at rate 100zen=100k coins (items >100zen coins have to be bought for zen packs, which costs 100k).
- ancient coin droprate has been boosted. monsters in rocky abyss/olympus drop 1-7 ancient coins per monster! if you have a decent aoe pet (for example TDE or ashura) you can grind around 2-3m coins per hour, which equals to 2-3k zen per hour!
- there are some free items on market, including MFC. you can get your gears to +7/+10 quite easily, but but this is not your average simple server, where you get 10k power before lvl70:P gems start dropping in giza (lvl1-lvl2 gems), but the real gemming starts after lvl80, in lavas! you get 6 lvl3 gem chests per run of LHN/LHE. early lvls might be quite hard, that's why you should focus on your pet.
im sure some of you miss the feeling of pride and fulfillment that you get after working your *** off to get lvl100. if getting E30 gears and being able to solo every boss/instance after a week of playing get your bored, this is the server for you!
Note.
Server client mixes some stuff from woi and older boi version. it's totally customized (you might need it in order to see new pets correctly). newest client still has some issues. im personally using client from some other server with a patch so odn't worry about it
Cya in game, cupcakes!
