    •When you hit level 9 you automatically get the Ascension quest, do this before anything else as it will level you to 10 and any XP gained in level 9 is negated so hand the quests you have in AFTER you do it.
    This isn't true, you still get all of the exp.

    Read it wrong, it is negated in the way that it won't matter because it won't carry over to Lv10.

    But it does carry over when you reach Lv10. I've leveled a few characters up to Lv10, and each time after completing Ascension and my level cap increasing above 10, I've had a pretty large buffer that was more than the Ascension quest reward.

    Never had it happen to me, either you're seeing things or they just added that recently because I just did an Asmo to a gladi and got no buffer. Lol

    Guess I was wrong, I could've sworn the exp I earned carried over... Oh well, at least I have a 5th character with Sanctum access now.

    Yeh ive levelled about 8 characters to sanctum, and the ascension exp overwrites the rest in that bar.

    Loading Screen Tip: You cannot consume food and beverages at the same time.

    If you are having a hard time finding an NPC, you type /Select [NPC's name]. For example, /Select Altro. This will target the NPC and you can press default C to run to the NPC if you are near. I think the max range for this is 20ish IIRC. You can do the same with PCs.

    I see a lot of people who don't seem to realize that you can change your user status to Looking for Group on the search menu, default V. Then as you can see there is also a check box to search for only people who are LFG to invite to group activities.

    But is there a way to specify what you're LFG for? I haven't been able to figure that out... It would be nice if you could write a comment, or specify which dungeon/quest you want to group for.

    There's three nice quests that both reward upgrades to your cube and warehouse.

    The first cube upgrade is a very simple quest at 29, A Lucky Day. The quest info suggests you need to be an expert (at what?) but my friend and I both finished it with nothing near expert skill in anything.

    The second cube upgrade is a more drawn-out ordeal at lvl 35, The Legend of Vindachinerk.

    The warehouse upgrade also takes place at lvl 29 but it does require expert level skill in some craft, A Bigger Warehouse.

    Hit V, go to Friend's List, and change your note.

    Whenever someone clicks your name in chat it will show your Name, Legion, Level, Class, and Note.

    And if you ever wondered why it said "Note" and pressed that little button only to think nothing happened, your comment says Note when people search you or hover over you lol

    I specifically enjoy the /who and /where commands. /who [Character name] will look up the person in search (default V) and show you level/class/note, ect. And /where command will do the same thing as the Locate command from quests/campaigns. It`ll work anywhere too, when looking up an NPC for some campaign quest while in the Abyss, it showed up in chat saying "This NPC is located in Morheim." Once in Morheim, another /where and it shows where to go.

    (Yay for loading screen tooltips!)
