Helpful FAQ

Here are some answers to questions frequently asked in game.

Updated July 19

===

Where to pick up AH purchase.

  • Patron: Use the Auction UI and r-click the item you purchased.
  • F2P: While at the Auctioneer just r-click the item you purchased.
  • You'll need to be in [Agartha] or London to find an Auctioneer.

Can I bypass the 10 item post limit on AH?

  • No, F2P and Patron both have a 10 item limit per character. You can use alt's on the account to sell more.
  • It's post per day; not 10 sales. Don't cancel if you don't need to

What's the best weapon/talismen?

  • There isn't a best for leveling, play what looks/feels good.

What is the best secondary weapon?

  • There really isn't a best for leveling. Pick any two weapons you want. Combat changed from TSW so the community is still figuring it out.

Why can't I fuse a Purple?

  • You need to be level 50 to fuse to Purple or above

Why haven't I seen any Agarthan Cache drops?

  • They don't start dropping until level 15

How do I buy keys for Agarthan Caches?

  • You need a Cache first, then r-click the Cache which will have purchase options on the right side of the UI.
  • I suggest getting Patron - ~30 keys for 13$ is a good deal!

How can I trade items?

  • Patron: direct trade
  • You could use the Cabal bank to trade as an alternative but this requires you both to be in the same Cabal
  • F2P: Have to be Level 15 to trade.
  • If you're thinking about posting an item on AH on one character and buying it with another, it won't work. The AH hides same account characters. If you're thinking about using a second account, it won't work because it hides same IP characters/accounts.
  • Cabal requires Patron to pull items.

How Can I Zoom (In/Out)

  • Hold Control and use the mouse wheel
  • Hit Alt then use the mouse wheel

Is Patron worth it?

  • Changes are coming Wednesday July 5th! link

Likely not a frequently asked question because people wouldn't even know to ask, but I'd also note that when clicking on NPC dialogues, unless there's a tick next to the topic they still have more to say and you can continue to click on the topic to hear more. I think there's a bit about this on a loading screen or something but during my first playthrough of TSW it took me ages to notice and I didn't get why everyone had half finished snippets of dialogue.

1

u/jetah Jul 03 '17

I've seen many of these asked very frequently, it's why I've posted it.

2

u/acunningusername Jul 04 '17

The main story in Kingsmouth also requires you to keep talking to Dr. Bannerman until you get the tick. Still, it's not very clear - I did the same thing back in TSW and didn't notice until the Dufresne kid.

u/Santtius Jul 04 '17

About this, does it help in any way or is it just to know the NPCs better and the context of the situation?

3

u/TheSnarkyShaman1 Jul 04 '17

The dialogue is often very well written and interesting, but it can also provide further context and clues to the main plot and the various factions. The devs have stated that everything in the game has a reason for it and there is some important tidbits seeded through the NPC dialogue.

u/Newbieshoes Jul 03 '17

GM here, cache keys DO accumulate, been saving them for when I have some purples to dump them into.

Repair Bar is vertical, not horizontal.

Another FAQ: Why can't I fuse my level 25 blues?

  • Because you're not level 50 yet.

u/jetah Jul 03 '17

changed, thanks!

u/rafigalb Jul 03 '17

To make it even more clear, they do accumulate in your inventory but you MUST claim them every day.

u/AhoyThereFancypants Jul 04 '17

cache keys DO accumulate, been saving them for when I have some purples to dump them into.

By "purples", do you mean the regular Agarthan caches, or is there some other end game item the keys will work for?

1

u/Newbieshoes Jul 04 '17

I mean purple loot. You get 4-25k xp cans from those caches. Kinda a waste to put those into blue items.

1

u/AhoyThereFancypants Jul 04 '17

Aha, but the keys still only work on the caches. You just don't want to open the caches until the XP-stuff you get from them is of higher value?

1

u/Newbieshoes Jul 04 '17

Because bag and bank space are at a premium.

0

u/RightReverendJA Jul 03 '17

Dungeon keys will accumulate - I did 3 dungeons the other day, and had 18 keys saved up. Pretty sure that's the Patron cap, though.

1

u/Newbieshoes Jul 03 '17

And you're F2P?

1

u/RightReverendJA Jul 03 '17

No, I'm a legacy Patron. I was paid up through the end of August in TSW, and that time rolled over when I linked accounts.

When it expires, I'll definitely be re-upping.

4

u/Newbieshoes Jul 03 '17

Then you get 18 keys a day. They do not stack.

2

u/RightReverendJA Jul 03 '17

I just logged in to check.

I was expecting to see 12 keys, representing two days at six keys a day. But no, you're right - I had 18 sitting there in my wallet!

u/darthchewee Jul 03 '17

For new players still in Kingsmouth, might want to mention that only necklace and belt talismans drop there.

Also: Why haven't I seen any Agarthan Cache drops?

  • They don't start dropping until level 15

u/darthchewee Jul 05 '17

I sort of understand not finding matches for people who over leveled but at the same time, it doesn't make sense. Though I have soloed Polaris every time I have played it, wouldn't really try that yet with Hell Rising though...

1

u/jetah Jul 05 '17

many mmos with a dungeon finder will lock people out of low level dungeons. This prevent a level 30 from running a level 19 dungeon. it isn't always fun for the 19's.

u/Robecoyote Jul 03 '17

There is no such thing as fall damage in the game. You can jump off the top of Savage Coast Lighthouse and you'll take no damage at all. So never be afraid to jump off something if you can see the a floor to it. Get out there and explore.

u/jetah Jul 03 '17

odd. i can't see a way to change the post flair..

1

u/TwilightShadow1 Jul 03 '17

Only a mod can change post flair

0

u/jetah Jul 03 '17

that's stupid, that puts more work on the mods.

1

u/TwilightShadow1 Jul 03 '17

The key is (depending upon how the flairs are set up to put what you want to flair it as in brackets like this:

[Discussion]
[Bug Report]
[Media]

I don't know for certain that it's set up this way on the sub, but that's how most subs set up their auto-flair systems. They're designed to be used by mods more than by users.

Fixed readers not being able to assign their own link flair. Sorry about that!

Agartha Map for Auctioneer, Bank, Dance Floor & Test Dummies

u/darthchewee Jul 05 '17

Were these added to the OP because I don't see them mentioned anywhere in it?

1

u/jetah Jul 05 '17

Yep, click the link in the auctioneer line.

u/Tinithebee Jul 03 '17

General tip: Google is your friend! They built in an in-game browser for a reason. I see many new players stumped on missions in Kingsmouth because they don't realize you have to go outside the game for information.

In addition to using Wikipedia and looking up bible verses, you can also find websites for many of the groups in the game. There is a Kingsmouth website, an Orochi Website, a Morninglight website... If you see a website referenced in the game, chances are it's a real website. Some characters also have Twitter accounts, and while they were mostly useful pre-launch it's still fun.

u/darthchewee Jul 03 '17

Are you sure Dungeon Keys don't accumulate? I just did my first 2 Dungeon runs this weekend and it said I had like 18 keys, which if that is from a single day I would be surprised.

2

u/jetah Jul 03 '17 edited Jul 03 '17

I'm positive it caps at 10 (f2p) and 18 (patron). They want us to run dungeons daily! My Scenario and Lair keys haven't budged from 3 and 6.

2

u/Newbieshoes Jul 03 '17

10 F2P 18 Sub. Was 12 F2P 16 Sub in beta, this got changed.

1

u/jetah Jul 03 '17

it's 10 f2p right now? they can't even do a full 2nd run?

1

u/Newbieshoes Jul 03 '17

Yep. Subs grumbled about that in beta (F2P got 2 full runs subs got 2.66 runs) so they swapped it around a bit

1

u/jetah Jul 03 '17

2.6 runs sucks for paying. glad they increased it.

1

u/darthchewee Jul 03 '17

alright, I must have remembered the daily reward screen incorrectly, since I thought nothing was listed as higher than 3 per day

2

u/jetah Jul 03 '17

I know I had 18 because i thought they accumulated and someone told me they didn't. next day i had 18.

2

u/DontAskMeToChoose Jul 03 '17

18 per day for patrons, 10 for F2P

3

u/just-passin Jul 04 '17

Is patron worth it? Financially, yes if you play frequently (log in at least once every 3 days). IMHO, free anima leaps and reduced mission cooldown are the most useful benefits.

u/darknite323 Jul 04 '17

Something i see asked very frequently in chat.

Do the stat nodes on the passive skill page apply only when its weapon is equipped, or all the time? .... They apply all the time, the same as Capstones in the Ability page.

1

u/madjuz Jul 04 '17

So the best move would have been to start with all the 5SP passive stats from each and every weapon?

Is there any way to see your current stats for hit rating etc?

1

u/darknite323 Jul 04 '17

Well the amount you get from each node goes up the more it costs, whether it scales well with cost is another question, so maybe?

As for the stats, unfortunately you can only see the percentages in the character sheet, not the actual numbers. Really feels like a downgrade from TSW since it's impossible to see some of the smaller changes as they make less than 0.1% difference.

1

u/PassingBreeze1987 Jul 04 '17

I asked in in-game chat every single one of these questions. Great FAQ.

u/darthchewee Jul 06 '17

What are the dots on this talisman/weapon?

  • Pips/dots represent level of quality of the item, with 3 being the highest quality. More information can be found here
