Very new and very confused player. Help?

[selenitas]

Hi, all. I just started Fiesta yesterday, and am very, very confused as to how everything works. I have a lot of questions, so if anyone at all could help me out, that would be fantastic. Here are my questions:

1. What are the methods of money-making in this game, and which one is best?

2. I'm a Mage. How should I assign skill points when I level?
2a. Can I change the color of my character's armor?

3. Should I join an Academy?

4. I like to make my characters in MMOs stand out. Can I change my eye, hair, and skin colors?

5. Are there pets in this game? If so, where can I get one from?

6. Do certain titles give out stat boosts?

Thank you for reading.

Buy from other players, from treasure chests in fields and Fiesta store.

Hi, all. I just started Fiesta yesterday, and am very, very confused as to how everything works. I have a lot of questions, so if anyone at all could help me out, that would be fantastic. Here are my questions:

1. What are the methods of money-making in this game, and which one is best?
A> Either you sell monster drops to NPC or use your production skills to make potions, scrolls or enhancement stones to sell to players. Best production skills are scroll making, stones and decomposition.


2. I'm a Mage. How should I assign skill points when I level?
A> You can check out the mage thread at class discussion for more info

2a. Can I change the color of my character's armor?
A> If you buy Spark Cash items like crit suit, it will change color, but if your not a SC buyer, you will have to use blue armors, which is a drop from boss monsters.

3. Should I join an Academy?
A> If you need to find other players with same quests, same level, someone to talk or ask questions, this is the right place to join. Along with every level up, acadamies reward you scrolls and money as a prize for your hard work.

4. I like to make my characters in MMOs stand out. Can I change my eye, hair, and skin colors?
A> Yes, by buying Spark cash Item, you can change the appearance of your character.

5. Are there pets in this game? If so, where can I get one from?
A> Pets can be found in-game from chest which spawns at random or you can also buy pets from the store and can be used for a limited time.

6. Do certain titles give out stat boosts?
A> Titles from lisences on weapons can boost critical damage. Personal Titles dont.

I put the responses so far all together. There's a lot of good information that just needed a few more details.

1. What are the methods of money-making in this game, and which one is best?
A> Either you sell monster drops to NPC or use your production skills to make potions, scrolls or enhancement stones to sell to players. Best production skills are scroll making, stones and decomposition.
Scroll making and stone making are good money makers. Decomp is good for selling the higher tier mats that you can decomp. It takes a lot of time (and sometimes in game money) to work up your production skills. If you're going to go with decomp, I'd recommend pairing it with comp so that you can work both skills up You can always create another character to do the other production skills.


2. I'm a Mage. How should I assign skill points when I level?
A> You can check out the mage thread at class discussion for more info

Many mages put their points into Int:Spr with a 2:1 ratio. Some choose only Spr, but it's all up to you. Here is the link to the mage forums so you can learn more about the class:

Mages are known as glass canons. They can do a great deal of damage but can't take much. But they're a lot of fun to play.

2a. Can I change the color of my character's armor?
Nope, you can't.
A> If you buy Spark Cash items like crit suit, it will change color, but if your not a SC buyer, you will have to use blue armors, which is a drop from boss monsters.

3. Should I join an Academy?
Yes, you should. It's good money and help anytime you need it.
A> If you need to find other players with same quests, same level, someone to talk or ask questions, this is the right place to join. Along with every level up, acadamies reward you scrolls and money as a prize for your hard work.

Go to a guild manager in one of the towns. You'll be able to find a list of guilds and academies. Also, ask around about the academies you see others in. Some academies offer great rewards. Others aren't so rich and don't have the same ability to provide a lot in money and items. They will usually help out with quests and information, though.

4. I like to make my characters in MMOs stand out. Can I change my eye, hair, and skin colors?
There are many different types of faces and hairstyles and -colors, but no skin colors.
A> Yes, by buying Spark cash Item, you can change the appearance of your character.
Go to Vietree in Roumen and enter her Beauty Shop. There you can see all of the different options available. However, you need a Beauty Coupon from the Fiesta store to be able to make the changes permanent. The Beauty Shop times out after about 10 minutes, but you can always log back in and go back. :) The link to the store is at the top of the page near the right side.

5. Are there pets in this game? If so, where can I get one from?
Buy from other players, from treasure chests in fields and Fiesta store.
A> Pets can be found in-game from chest which spawns at random or you can also buy pets from the store and can be used for a limited time.
Fiesta's pets are the movers and the little creatures you see on people's shoulders. The movers (except for hobbies) are only available in the store. There are some basic pets available in the game that offer a little stat boost that can be obtained from vendors or a lucky treasure chest you might find in a map.

6. Do certain titles give out stat boosts?
Nope.
A> Titles from lisences on weapons can boost critical damage. Personal Titles dont.

At the risk of being nitpicky:
2a. Can I change the color of my character's armor?

A> If you buy Spark Cash items like crit suit, it will change color, but if your not a SC buyer, you will have to use blue armors, which is a drop from boss monsters.
This is not entirely correct -- you cannot actually customize your armor.

With the exception of the 45 cleric set, blue armor sets look like normal in-game armor, albeit from different levels.

SC crit suits are displayed on top of whatever armor your character is wearing. For instance, below is the same character with the same armor. Pic 1 is just the armor; pic 2 is the armor covered by a crit suit.
