The basics of each. No clue how to pick one and stuff.

Read the main sites overview of them.... IMHO it's better to pick a character that suits your personality rather than the one that happens to be godmodded and have "ub0r l33t skillz"

Professions as in potion making and stuff.

Oh.. u mean Classes?

u're gonna start another major debate here with a simple question like that...

Lets start with what I see for each class...

Cleric is mainly a support class in this game, they heal, buff, and at earlier levels (before 40) we only have 1 attack skill - Bash.

Generally we can tank better than an archer or mage. But we have a much slower attack power. (But we can still solo if you choose the right build.)

Fighters are the tanking class, they have skills that makes mobs hit them instead of other class, they're not exactly a damage dealing class either... more a tanking class...

OK i'm getting bored so i'll cut this short

Mage and Archers are the dmg dealing class with range atk.

XD

You mean alchemy? -_-

Alchemy is part of it, yes. I want to know how to start off the whole item-making thing.

Just buy the alchemy scrolls/skills....

Oh.. alchemy Skills?

What's is there to know about?

There's 5 production skills
-Potions
-Stones
-Scroll
-Material decomposition
-Material Composition

I'd recommend that you start with potions and Scrolls skills.. then if u need, set up a new character to make stones and Material Decomposition.

Material Decomposition is when you make a Tier 2 material (eg. Beast Leather) to Tier 1 Material (eg. Beast Leather LQ)

There's a lot of information in Wiki for the ingredient u need for each skill.

I bought the Elure Recipe, but I can't seem to use it. It's the lowest one too. Why?

And why do the latter skills need skill points? How're you supposed to start off..... Material Composition, for example, if you have no skill points?

I agree with the scrolls part, but I really think stones is a better option. Mobs drop dust like crazy at lower levels, and Elrue[1] can sell for 40c a piece.
