perhaps someone might be able to answer some qustions.
Dunno where exactly i find the answers so I try here.

About packers.
I see theyve different Stamina, the more the more expensive, anything else is different as their HP, like take more time they be hungly or more storage?

How many packers you can have?

What happens if a packer dies and does it take damage when standig near you when you blow up a resource spot.


I take you can store items in your apparment, since i dont have one yet...

how many stuff you can put in there ?

Is it only accessible with the owner?

If not is there a way to safely transfer items over to another toon of yourself?



And a very different question.
How do you get crafting patterns from another race?
If you say go to a trainer of that race, i wouldnt know how to reach that place, or is it possible another way.. or not at all ?

thank you

nope, just HP (get rapid purple color packer, it pays off if you take him to walk)
3 packers and 1 mount per player
packer can get area damage from source explosion, yelk gas, gingo dust, kincher electric, etc.
dead packer stays dead for 3 rl days ?, you have that time to clear it or let it go. after that time has passed (it shows how much time you have left on packer), it vanishes itself.

yep, 2k bulk in apartement.
only owner get in

nope, you need to use proxy (friend, guildmate or complete stranger

trainers in another race cities, only way.

edit: take rapid packer, right click and check description.

Thanks for your answer,

not fully understood that with the packers tho, so if it dies you can recover the stuff it had ? Or whats meant with time to clear it ?
And anyway to know how much hp a mount actually has (poor stamina tells me not much)

What about mounts?
How to they work, dont wanna spend so many money on it if it then just dies and is lost, then id rather wait and get apt. first. Mean how much hits have those, what you do when ure in the field and theres no stable.

Or point me to where i can read such things up

Lotsa questions

On that last one, well.. how do i get to another city ive not a clue, perhaps im way too low going there since i dunno the way and what i saw outside the central area of the land was like 100 lvls above me.

yep, if packer dies, it stays in game in one spot for 3 (i think) RL days for you to get items out.

mount is only 3x blue, so if ragus/gingo even looks at him, then hes dead
not that bad, but you should keep your mount away your sources if you intend to blow them up. mount will most probably die real quick.

BUT, no mob will directly attack your packer/mount if you around... after they killed you, they might attack packer/mount, but they usually dont (kirostas and dogs only ??)

for you, it's probably best to get into trek when you see one, or ask in region, maybe someone has time and escorts you.

do what you do in game to have fun, dont worry about other lands too much, sooner or later you get there

thanks that helped a lot

IIRC, even the mobs you mentioned don't attack your mount directly... their AoE hits the mount which is pretty dainty and can be killed.

Questions are good! Only way you'll learn how to paly is to ask. The greatest asset this game has is it's helpful community. If you ask a question in region, for example, some one will always help. Same here.

As Blaah said, best way to get to other lands is join a trek. There are often ones arranged on here. A big group will take you through to other lands and help you get the teleport tickets. As long as you remember to buy another ticket when you use one, you only need to make the overland trip once. Most of the routes from one land to another are through the Prime Roots and are very hazardous to low level players.

Another way would be to join a guild and ask your guild mates to take you.

A drawback to learning other races craft plans, is that crafting skills are race specific

so if you have advanced to level 30 in armour crafting, and spent skill points to buy Matis Armour crafting 40, then traveled to Fyros and wanted to learn to make fyros Medium Armour ( this is a true story, only the levels have been changed .. due to poor memory ) you would need to spend craft skill points to learn Fyros armour crafting 10, then learn the specific craft plan you wanted, then learn fyros armour crafting 20, and 30, and 40... Your skill level will let you do it, but you still have to pay the cost for each race. This can be expensive, especially at low levels when you dont have many skill points to spare. It may be simplest to say you will reserve a particular skill branch to a specific race, eg Matis and Jewelry, fyros and weapons..
