A. Conquer Online is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). In Conquer, thousands of online players adventure together in an enormous, persistent game world, forming friendships, slaying monsters, engaging in quests, and role-playing their characters in the game world.

A. TQ Digital Entertainment (a wholly owned subsidiary of Net Dragon Websoft Inc.) is developing and publishing Conquer Online.

A. No. Conquer Online is free to play for as long as you like. You needn't pay any monthly fee.

A. You can download the client and the patches from the download page. You only need to download the client, as it should automatically patch itself when you start the game. Only download the patches when the autopatch fails.

A. Dragon Balls are magical items that you can buy, which give your character an advantage in the game. Dragon Balls can be used to level up, become more skillful, enchant your equipment, and much more.

A. Conquer Points are like a special currency that can be used to personalize your character with the marketplace Shopping Mall. You don't buy Conquer Points with real money, you exchange in-game items (gems, rebirth tokens, exp balls, dragon balls, etc.) for Conquer Points, then spend them in the mall. The number of points you get varies depending on what you exchange.

A. Dragon Balls can be bought with TQ Points. The number of Dragon Balls you get varies depending on how much money you spend.

7.99 US = 2 Dragon Balls = 430 Conquer Points
15.99 US = 5 Dragon Balls = 1075 Conquer Points

Dragon Balls and Conquer Points have different uses in the game. Dragon balls can be changed into Conquer Points in the marketplace. Dragon Balls generally make your character more powerful, while Conquer Points can be used to decorate or personalize your character.

A. When you want to purchase Dragon Balls, you need to observe the following three steps:

i. TQ Points Card: Access the official site, and click the "Dragon Ball Sales". This will take you to the page where you can buy TQ points. Follow the instructions on the website to make your purchase.
ii. Credit Dragon Balls: Click the "Dragon Ball Credit" link on the website. Follow the instructions on the page. Use your TQ Points to credit Dragon Balls to your game account, so your character can acquire and use them in the game.
iii. Claim your Dragon Balls: Log into the game and visit the Prize NPC in the Marketplace. You can travel to the markepplace via the Conductress in each city. Speak to him and claim your Dragon Balls. You can then use them as you wish.

A. Please be aware that first time TQ Point buyers may experience a delay in receiving their TQ Points. First time buyers will sometimes wait up to 3 days for their Card ID and Password. Second time customers do not experience any delays -they receive their TQ Points instantly (after a few seconds).

If, you have any problems buying TQ Points with Paypal, please check the following:

A. Note your payment date and time.
B. Note the real name and email of the owner of the Paypal account.
C. Note the Paypal Transaction ID.

When you have these pieces of information, submit the problem to our customer support department. They will send you your ID and password to you within 2 working days.

When you have credited your account with the code, visit Prize NPC in the Market Place to claim dragon balls in game (go there via the conductress near the west gate of Twin City.) Once you have Dragon Balls, you can also use them to exchange for Conquer Points in the marketplace, then buy items in the Shopping Mall.

A. Conquer Online has four playable classes at present: Archer, Taoist, Trojan and Warrior. In the future, other character choices might be implemented. For more information, click on the name of the character you want to know about:

i. Archer: A master with the bow and arrow.
ii. Fire Taoist: An aggressive magic user.
iii. Trojan: A fast and agressive close combat fighter.
iv. Warrior: A defensive and powerful fighter.
v. Water Taoist: A healer and strong magic user.

A.Yes, male and female characters are available for each class. This may not be thematically accurate with ancient China (in which it was typically men who went to war), but it correlates closely to popular Chinese culture.

A. Water Taoists have the power to bring someone back from the dead.

A. No, all classes will see the world in the exact same way. The GUI and the gameplay is the same for all characters.
However, some quest NPCs might react differently depending on your class or gender.

A. Water Taoists and Fire Taoists can heal allies, while other classes can only heal themselves through magic or items.

A. Though some spells have prerequisites, many spells can be learned at level 1. Some spells are acquired for free, such as when a character starts in the Birth Village. Other skills have to be found or payed for in the game world.

A. Yes. Currently, only Archers can fly.

A. Yes. Trojans and Warriors are tough as nails and masters of weaponry and tactics. Their special abilities are naturally combat-oriented.

A. The current character level limit is 135. After you reach level 120, you may choose to get reborn. That is, you can start the game over again with extra powers, not available to true beginners.

A. Your account can have as many characters as you like, BUT each character must be on a different server. You can't have two characters on the same server.

A. Absolutely! There are lots of options, like hairstyle, hair dyes, armor colors, character portrait, clothes, helmets and special visual effects for super items.

A. No. At character creation you must pick a class and gender, but your skills and attributes are not changed until later. In free-to-play games, it is important to prevent players from power-cramming their character.

A. We don't want to overwhelm players with too many choices when they start off. Players will get to select their class, gender, avatar model and character name. The remaining elements of character customization (hairstyle, armor dyes, hair dyes, clothing and garments, glitter effects, etc.) will be done in-game, when players have a better understanding of how the choices they're making will affect their characters.

A. Currently, all names are restricted to 15 letters. You cannot use special characters in your name.

A. No. Males and females are equally effective in all areas of the game. There are no statistical difference betweent the two.
However, some in-game quest NPCs might treat you differently, depending on whether you play a male or female.

A. There is a list of role-playing emotes within the game, such as waving, bowing, dancing, sitting, weeping, cheering, etc.

A. You may not select the name of another person, or a name which violates any third party's trademark right, copyright, or other proprietary right, or which may mislead other members to believe you to be an employee of TQ Digital. You may not have a name which TQ Digital deems vulgar or otherwise offensive. The Company reserves the right to delete, or to change, any vulgar or otherwise offensive name.

A. You character will be born in the Birth Village. Here, they will be able to talk to NPCs for a brief tutorial of the game, and receive some general items to help you get started.

A. If training for skills, you can beat up the mannequins in the training map. Whenever you reach a new benchmark of your character career, you can get promoted in the Guild Hall/Job Center in Twin City. Your first promotion can be completed after you reach level 15, but you can go to the training map at any time.

A. No, the characters' name and gender can never be changed.

A. No, you can't. This won't change in the foreseeable future.

A. For quest purposes, yes, the NPC will remember that you've talked and will know where you stand as it relates to the task you were given. For other purposes, such as merchants, prattling townsfolk and various others, the answer is generally no (they won't remember you.)

A. There are only two ways to reach another city. The first is to simply walk through the maps, following the road to your destination. The second is to pay Conductress NPC 100 silvers to transport/teleport you. Different cities and towns have their respective methods of transport.

A. There are a large number of creatures available in the world to fight. There are both generic creature types as well as boss creatures.

A. A monster's level is indicated along with its name. The name of the monster is color-coded according to the difference in levels.

Black Name: A monster much more powerful than you. Almost impossible to kill.
Red Name: A monster more powerful than you. A very challenging opponent.
White Name: A monster of similar power to yourself. A standard enemy for your level.
Green Name: A monster less powerful than you. Easy prey.

Don't move on to a new city, or area until you are confortable fighting the monsters at your level. If you travel to dangerous areas, you can get killed in one hit!

A. Most monsters will chase you out of their patrol area and then leave you alone. However, bosses and powerful monsters might even follow you into towns. Don't worry, the guards kill anything that gets too close to the town gates.

A. Yes, certain monsters can, and most boss monsters can.

A. Yes, there are many boss monsters in Conquer. Each boss is likely to be tougher and more dangerous than others. Bosses are also likely to drop more gold and better items!

A. Monsters have treasure that characters can loot. The equipment and armors are classified as normal, refined, unique, elite or super. Super items are of the best quality. You may use the dragon balls to upgrade the item's quality.

A. Conquer has no weight restrictions or carrying capacity. However, you have a limit of 40 storage spaces in your backpack. How you use that storage space is up to you.

A. Yes. Some items require you to be a certain level in order to use them. Other items might require you to be a certain class. Some combat classes have a greater selection of weapons to choose from, while other magic classes might have a greater range of skills.

A. Yes. Gemmed items, special items and several grades of magical items have visible magical effects.

A. Yes. In fact, we recommend it. You might drop some of your items and silvers if you are killed, so it pays to save that money in the warehouse.

A. You can only retrieve your items from the warehouses where you deposit, but you can access your silver from any warehouses, like a bank. Warehouses are located in the major cities and in a few other special locations in the world. Other characters on your account cannot access each other's warehouses.

A. You may buy a pickaxe from storekeepers in various cities, or borrow one from the warden in the jail.

A. The meteors are used to upgrade the level of equipment, change the equipment's color, divorce and completing some quests.

A. The Dragon Balls can be used to upgrade the equipment's quality, socket the weapons, upgrade the weapons from level 120 to level 130, redistribute the attribute points, and exchanged for Conquer Points.

A. Yes. Although it is relatively easy to keep gear upgraded by killing the monsters and finishing quests, you can also use your meteors and dragon balls to upgrade the item's level and quality respectively.

A. Artisan Wind in Twin City can upgrade at a random success rate. The Magic Artisan in the marketplace can upgrade without risk of failure, but it costs more meteors and dragonballs. The Weapon Master can upgrade your weapons to level 120+.

A. Yes, you can "Alt+Tab" in and out of the game at will. Conquer can be played in either 800x600 or 1024x800 screen resolution. This means that you can run it in a window if you have a very high resolution monitor.

A. Yes. This is accessed via the Setup screen. You can select the Setup screen from the game interface.

A. Adding or deleting friends and enemies is done in the same way. Observe the following examples for details:

i. Add Friend/enemy: Click on the "Friend" button, then select "Add" and click on the target player. If he/she accepts to the friendship, he/she will confirm by clicking the "Friend" button, and will automatically be added to your list of friends. If the player does not accept the friendship, their name will not be added to the list of friends.
ii. Delete Friend/enemy: To delete a friend or enemy from a list, just click "Friend" button, then select the target name from the list and click "Delete". The name will be removed from the list.

A. Chat channels are filters on who you speak to in the game. If you only want to speak to a single person, you have to select the Whisper chat channel, as that filters out all the other players.
   The current chat channels include:

i. Talk: (default) Your words can be seen by any who are near you.
ii. Whisper: You select a person to talk to, put his or her name in the first blank, then type what you want to say in the second blank. Nobody else will hear, or see what you say.
iii. Team: Every player in your team will get messages sent in this channel.
iv. Guild: All guild members can read your messages in this channel. If you don't belong to a guild, you can't use this chat channel.
v. Friend: All of your friends will be able to see your message.
vi. Service: If a GM (game master) is online, they will receive your message immediately. If a GM is not online, or if you wait more than 15 minutes for a reply, try using TQ Digital's online customer service on the website.

By selecting the small blue and gold "gem-like" button next to the chat box, you can select names from a saved list of recently used names.

A. There are four modes of movement in Conquer: Walk, Run, Jump and Fly. Every character type can walk, run or jump, but only archers can fly.

i: Walk: Move your cursor to the place you would like to go, and then left click your mouse. Your character will move towards the destination. If there is a barrier ahead, your character will make a detour.
ii: Run: There is a Walk/run switch on the lower left corner of game interface. Click on this switch to toggle walking or running mode.
iii: Jump: Your character can jump by holding down CTRL key on the keyboard and left-clicking as described above. If the jump is too far, you character won't move.
iv: Fly: Archers have a special skill to fly. Simply click in the direction you want to fly and hold the mouse button. Your character will fly tot he spot.

Please note that your character won't move if the destination is unreachable.

A. All TQ games are window games. None support full-screen mode, unless you adjust your screen's resolution to match that of the game.
TQ Digital makes "social games" and markets its products at a casual gamer audience. Window games allow you to check email, chat, read the forums and perform other activities. Thus, Conquer will always be run as a window.

A. The four buttons can be used to view your character's gradually improving skills and abilities. Each button opens up like a tab, and contains the following information:

1st Tab: Stats: Your character's basic attributes are here, showing how much potency, damage, accuracy and statistical data your character has.
2nd Tab: Equipped Items: This shows what your character is wearing, what he or she has equipped. You can unequip an item by double-clicking on it. You can equip an item by dragging it from your inventory to the appropriate space, or by right clicking on it in your inventory.
3rd Tab: Weapon Skills: This shows what weapons you have learned to use. Each weapon skill starts at 1st level, and the more you use the weapon, the better you get at it.
4th Tab: Special Skills: Any skill that is unique to your character class is listed here. Thiese special skills include charge-up skills, character class features, and magical spells.

In addition to these modes of movement, the player often experiences teleportation, which instantly transports you to new areas.

A. It is the instant help for your character. The contents vary with your level. By clicking this button it will offer help by telling useful pieces of information: what new items you can equip; what monsters to fight; which new areas you can enter at your level; what quests you can do.

A. The small human figure on the minimap is your character. As you move, the minimap scrolls with you, so your character always stays centered.

A. Please drag the message slide on the left edge of your screen. When you drag this slide up or down, you can increase or decrease the number of lines of messages you receive.

A. The lands of Conquer are set in one large continent, with an ocean to either side. While countries are not clearly defined, terrain types are.
   There are five main geographical regions in the game, and each region contains a single settlement: Twin City, Phoenix Castle, Ape Mountain, Desert City and Bird Island. Each settlement has its own unique terrain.

A. In the upper right corner of the screen there is a mini map, which shows your position and nearby locations. It also indicates the position of your nearby friends, party members, spouse, enemies and other noteworthy markers.

A. The cities in Conquer are large social areas, each with their own distinctive architecture and style. Cities are where players go to train in their professions, shop for the goods at local vendors, repair their items, obtain new and exciting quests, buy and sell goods with other players and participate in unique city adventures.

A. There are plenty of special locations for players to discover. In the near future there may also be secret areas.

A. Yes. We strive to make all of our games easy to learn, yet difficult to master. There is quite an art to maintaining this balance, and we will strive to continually improve this process.

A. As Conquer is continually developed, there will be more and more things to do. There will be a huge variety of activities to keep players from feeling like they just have to grind through the levels. Characters can mine for the ores and gems, trade and gamble in the marketplace, craft items, fight in vast battles against other players, establish homes, and explore distant lands. Even when players do fight monsters, it will often be as part of a quest, or in search of special ingredients for their crafts.

A. There will be thousands of hours of game play, and nearly infinite goals for players. Because we'll have a live team regularly adding new quests, creatures, and items, the game will never truly end.

A. Marriage and divorce are activities that are provided in the game. Getting married is pretty easy, but divorce requires players to find items, kill monsters, speak to NPCs and more.

A. Particularly rich and successful characters will eventually be able to buy their own house, and decorate the house with their own furniture and personal effects.

A. First, characters who want to mine for ore must be level 15 or above. Secondly, they must acquire a pickaxe. Mining lets players discover raw minerals which can be used to enhance their euipment.

A. Items that have a "+" value are magical, and will increase the character's potency by 1 point. In other words, they make you more powerful.

A. Yes. You can kill as many other players as you like in Conquer. However, if you get caught by the guards you'll be imprisoned.

A. Yes, there are regular player killing competitions that you can join in, if you feel interested. You need to be a high level character, though... PKing is not for featherweights, it's big league stuff!

A. Yes. there is an arena in several cities. But there are no PK points and no item drops for PKing in arena. It's honest and safe combat, dueling your rivals with no risk of loss or injury.

A. Whenever you kill another player, you acrue PK Points. These points aren't a good thing. Guard will attack you, other players will know you are a murderer by the color of your name, etc. Generally, the game world becomes hostile to a player who loves to PK.

Waiting: 1 PK Point / 6 Minutes: When you do nothing except wait around in the game, your PK points slowly decrease. For every six minutes that pass in the game, your PK points will drop by 1.
Penitence Amulet: Reduces 30 PK Points: By using a penitence amulet, you atone for your sins. Your PK points will instantly be reduced by 30. If you have less than 30 PK points left, it will reduce to zero.

A. At the bottom of the screen in the game interface is a button that toggles PK mode and peace mode. In PK mode, you can kill other people, but in peace mode, you can't. Neither mode prevents you from being killed.

A. New spells can be found by visiting the trainers in Job Center of Twin City or in books which are sold by the Market Pharmacists or dropped by monsters. You can also find them by completing quests or purchasing them from other players.

A. Different spells have different prerequisites. The requirements depend on the spell in question.

A. After you meet the requirements, learn the spell. Select the spell be clicking on the "Skill" button to the right of the interface, and choosing the target spell from the list of avalable spells. Then right-click on the target monster/player, and the spell will be cast. For casting a summoning spell, you should right-click on the blank position on the ground.

A. Firstly, XP Skills have nothing to do with your character's experience points. They are a unique ability that simply charges up by itself and can be used every 5 to 10 minutes. An XP Skill will not cost you any experience to use, you won't lose experience points when you use it. In fact, there is no detriment to using XP Skills at all.

i. Wait: To cast an XP skill, you should wait until the XP circle is full. This usually takes between 5 and 10 minutes.
ii. Select Skill: When the XP circle is filled with yellow color, the XP skill buttons will appear on the lower right corner of the game screen. Click on the skill you want to use.
iii. Use: Right click on the target monster/player. The XP skill buttons will disappear after 20 seconds, so you'd better try to make good use of the XP skills before they disappear.

A. No. Once you have learned a skill, it will not decrease. You have learned it for life.
   However, there is one way to lose a skill: Characters who get reborn forget all of their skills. Characters can get reborn after level 130.

A. Of course. There are many buffs which your character can use to tweak your combat performance.

A. Yes, you can. Teams can support up to five members. If you are close to each other, then you can share EXP when you kill enemies.

A. Only five players can join a team (the leader, plus four others). Larger groups need to form guilds in order to work together.

A. Yes. As a group leader, you have the ability to determine if your members are allowed to loot the items or money from each other's kills.

A. When your group members have low HP and they are within the same map, you will see their portrait flashing.

A. There are many quests available within the game, and it is up to players to seek them out and find them. As the game develops, the number of available quests will continue to increase.

A. Quests can be picked up by speaking to NPCs, either in towns or while moving through the wilderness. Quests are not recorded in a quest log of any sort, so you'll have to remember what to do and read carefully!

A. For the majority of quests, yes you can try them again as many times as you like. However, some quests are special and have a limit on the number of times you can do them.

i. Rebirth: Quests to be reborn can only be done once. There is a first rebirth quest and a second rebirth quest. Obviously, after completing the quest, you have a long way to go before you can try it again.
ii. Monster Hunter: The monster hunting quests grant an amazing boost to your character's experience, allowing you to leap several levels and gain power quickly. So, to balance gameplay, there is a limit on the number of times you can do such quests every day.
iii. Special Events: Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving... These are special events when we experience a high volume of players. Because of server traffic, there is often a limit on the number of times you can do these quests every day. This allows everyone to have a go, and reduces lag.

A. First, you need to be level 90 or above. Secondly, you need to spend 1,000,000 silver to create the new guild.

A. You can select the guild channel, so that every member of your guild can chat together at the same time.

A. Yes, there are. Guilds can go to war with each other, blow up each others' strongholds and fight for glory!

A. Guilds are player created organizations within the game. They could be a large group of friends or a gathering of similar-minded characters who want to band together. Guilds have statues which grant bonuses to their members, beasts that defend the guild grounds, and fees for those who want to leave.

A. It may be because there are some guilds have been disbanded. And you can email your guild name and the server you are in to: service@conqueronline.com
   We will remove all the enemy guilds from the list and then you will be able to be hostile to them again.

A. When you die, your body falls to the ground and you appear as a ghost. You have three options for resurrection: First (and best) you can resurrect where you stand if you have the God's Blessing. Second, if you don't have the god's blessing, you can resurrect in the nearest town. Third, you can be raised on the spot by an ally water Taoist with the Revive skill.

A. Yes, other monsters and players can see you, too.

A. When a monster kills you, you may drop some of the items and silver in your inventory. When another player kills you (this does indeed happen, whether the death is intentional or accidental), you will lose some experience points as well as some items and silver in your inventory.
   When you are a ghost, you can't die again -you're already dead. Nobody can attack or harm you any further. And you can't harm anyone else. When you die, you won't be able to do anything except move around and talk in some chat channels.
   If your name is black (you are a murderer) when you are killed by another player or guard1/, you may drop some items you are wearing and put into jail.

A. You enter negative experience points. You do not lose a level.

A. No, you will revive with 100% of your health.

A. No, you cannot. You won't be able to attack or interact with other players or NPCs. And you won't be able to pick up items.

A. Usually, but we don't recommend it. Some quest items will disappear completely when you drop them. It is better to trade with others for a secure transaction.

A. Click the Trade button then click on the target player. If he/she agrees by clicking OK, the trade window will pop out on both sides. Click X or Cancel to close the trading window.

i. Drag & Drop: Type the amount in the box and drag items into the spaces. These are the items you want to trade.
ii. Check the Trade: Look at the other persons trade items.
iii. Continue: If you think the trade is good, click confirm to continue.
iv. Agree or Cancel: Both players will be prompted to agree to the trade, or cancel it altogether.

A. Click on a flag that nobody has occupied, then click on the blanket and put your items into your shop.

A. Click the Quit button on the lower right corner of the game screen. Your character will abondon his or her booth.

A. The amount you entered was more than that you carried with you.

A. Rebirth is a special quest that your character can perform when you have been through the entire game. This allows you to start over with advantages and extra skills not available to first time beginners.

A. When your character reaches level 120, he or she can be reborn. The exception is water taoists who can be reborn when they reach level 110.
   However, you can be reborn more than once. The second time you are reborn you will gain even more skills to add to your repertoire.

A. The benefits of being reborn are numerous, too many to be listed in hte FAQ: Skills, XP Skills, new character class choice, lucky time, and more.
   It really depends on which character class you were and which character class you are going to be reborn as.
