You need to whisper a guild master or officer. The game makes guild invites unnecessarily difficult.

Deep sea is the only area where there is lots of fish, strictly speaking. Catching garbage, however, means that you also have chances to catch relic shards, which are more valuable than most of fish is.

I'm not sure I've seen one, since all (the whole two them) builds I've seen do take 3 levels of Claws of Darkness so you have a button for the case when your doesn't kill something, as far as grinding goes at least.

I don't know about anyone else, but I know for a fact that horses are stupider than poo poo and WILL kill themselves if you don't take an absurd amount of precautions and adorn them in the right silly accessories so that they don't scare themselves and fall over dead, and even then at best you can reduce the chances that they will do that, but they're still absolutely going to. Women who are obsessed with horses are just as bad as ones who are obsessed with anything else, but it may be dumber because it's a placeholder for animalistic male sexuality; however, in reality, it doesn't hold up because dominant male sexual energy is incompatible with horse personality and tendencies because, again, they're absolutely going to kill themselves by accident, whereas studs and straight power tops are highly unlikely to catch their reflection in a mirror then break their leg and get eaten by a mountain lioness

Of course, if you don't nail little metal rings onto them, they'll split open, and then they'll die.

I personally guarantee you a dog will never in this life hear a bee then have a heart attack out of fear, dying

Babies grow up and that's okay, it's like, sometimes a great meal is worth a lot of prep, for example. Horses only get more likely to die from a stupid reason as they get older. Oh poor ol' Freckles, thought of ants and died

That's understandable, but in the scheme of things it's a fairly low chance. With horses, there is no such thing as a natural death at any point in existence: they've strictly only died from stupid poo poo. Saw water and passed away

My dad had a horse fall in a hole and almost die. They had to use a truck wench to get her out. She was too weak to walk so they tied ropes between two trees to hold her up. It took days of them hand feeding her before she could stand or walk on her own.

Less than a month later, she fell in the same hole and died.

As someone who grew up with a couple friends into horses and loving dressage I can say that if anything you are being way too easy going on them. Its like their survival strategy is to break their legs or kill them selves at the slightest sign of danger, or a noise, or a change in humidity.

My friends barn had to install a big fence because they were next to a turkey farm and despite the horses seeing these birds every single loving day, any time you'd ride past them most of the horses would briefly flip out and hurt them selves or throw their rider when the turkeys came into view. You could literally ride in a loop for an hour and every single time the horse would "scare" at the turkeys.

Maybe wilder horses are smarter but dressage horses are more fragile and stupid than a baby that just learned to crawl. They will jump onto fences and cut them selves in half, they will get stuck between buildings, they will randomly for no reason at all break their legs. If there is a way to kill or hurt them selves they will find it. And people drop 50k or more on these idiots.

Oh, poppycock! Female bandits?

I've just started playing it today and it's grabbed me more than any other MMO in years. The atmosphere is incredible - I'm standing right now in a street running with water, getting drenched in a thunderstorm at night, using my lantern to navigate. It all looks fabulous - my character model even gets properly wet, so I looked like the drowned rat I am.

There's some horrendous anime themed classes, but as long as you steer clear of them, it feels like a more immersive fantasy world than anything since LOTRO for me. The non-combat related side of the game (crafting, workers etc.) seems tremendously complex and involving too, which looks like a big plus. Let's hope the game continues like this...

Whisper one of the guild leaders or inviters in game. They can't easily invite you otherwise (koreagame systems).

Also, check here for guest passes. I would suggest putting both these things, bolded, at the top of the OP, but who the hell ever reads the OP (or the 250 page guide in broken english)?

Edit: I just checked: Information is under the pictures at the top of the OP already. It's me. I'm proof that goons don't read the OP, Lewtt.

Probably the biggest complement I can give this game's atmosphere is that, anime stuff and piss-poor story translations aside, it feels a lot like an upbeat version of Witcher 3, with it's large settlements and huge main city, dozens of NPCs going about their business, farms and mines that look like farms and mines and not a hut next to some fields/rocks. It's beautifully constructed and I'm looking forward to seeing what the expansion regions look like.

This is actually the thing that surprised me the most about this. I got a code from some giveaway and I expected a fun character creator and fun combat. I did NOT expect to see as much character and atmosphere as there is. I spend most of my time that isn't tending my crops riding around and just talking to people to learn things. It's an experience I did not expect and thoroughly enjoy.

There is an important distinction between this game and other games with crazy resource management like, say, EVE. In this game you are a roving murderhobo in search of profit and adventure. In EVE you are playing the guy toting the muderhobo's belongings from one city to the next.
