How can I lower my roundtime?

There are many ways to reduce your encumbrance. In order of ease of access, they are:

• If you're carrying boxes, get them opened at the locksmith pool, and make more frequent trips to get them opened
• Make sure you're properly trained in Armor Use for your armor
• Find "a white crystal" (casts Strength (509)) either as loot or in a pawnshop, or ask a Wizard to cast it on you
• Find a "black crystal" (casts Floating Disk (511)) and use it for your boxes, or ask a Wizard to cast it on you
• Find a Warrior or Paladin and ask for Armor Support
• Make sure your Strength and Constitution statistics are reasonably high, keeping in mind you can change your attributes 5 times before level 20
• AIM CLEAR to ensure you aren't targeting a specific part of your opponents
• Find lighter containers
• Ask someone to help you lighten and/or deepen your containers with "notes," or purchase them yourself from adventurer shops (they look like, e.g., "a light yellow note")
• Drop excess inventory
• Buy "a silvery blue potion" from adventurer shops or the SimuCoin store (reduces encumbrance by 100 lbs for 30 days, stackable)
• For more experienced adventurers, find enhancive items that boost your Strength and Constitution

How should I set my skills and statistics?

Unfortunately, the worst thing you can do is use the automatic placements. You're better off using the guides above for skills.

For statistics, I recommend:

1. Use a stat calculator.
   1. If you use the 3rd-party software called Lich then try ;stat-maximizer
   2. Otherwise, try https://www.nitefallz.com/
2. Place your stats to maximize at level 20, focusing on LOG (XP gain), STR (attacking), AGI/DEX (lowering roundtime and other benefits).
   1. At level 19, change them to maximize for level ~60. Do not forget to change them at 19 -- this mistake would cost you about 16 million silvers to fix.
   2. Run bounties as you level up and save your bounty points. Then, at level ~80, you'll be able to afford a fixstats potion, which allows you to reset your statistics, and set your stats to maximize at level 100.

How can I get XP faster?

• Short answer: Do bounties at the Adventurer's Guild!
• Long answer: Check the Experience Guide.

Where can I find guides for my profession?

There is a list of Professional Guides, but beware, many are outdated. Your best bet is to ask other adventurers of your profession on ESP Help, or on the official Discord, which contains a channel for each profession.

What are: ensorcel, sanctify, grit, enchant, and so forth?

A Player service is a profession-specific service which can provide a benefit to other players. They all follow the same template:

• Beginning at either level 20 or level 30, you'll begin to automatically accumulate a profession-specific resource, such as Essence (Wizard), Nature's Grace (Ranger), Devotion (Paladin), and so forth.

• You gain 1 point for each 1 point of XP absorbed, up to 50k each week, and 200k maximum at a time. (Instant XP gain does not count.)

• You can then spend your resource to provide a "service" to another player, which has a specific, permanent benefit for them, varying by profession.

• You can check your progress via RESOURCE. For information about specific professional resources, see the page above.

• Your professional service resource is valuable, often in the realm of 1-3 million silvers per full week (50k), as of the time of writing this article. Use it wisely!

• Spending your resource will have tiered difficulty, with subsequent tiers requiring higher levels or even specific builds to achieve. Adventurers who can accomplish these higher-difficulty tasks can sell their resource at a higher premium.

What's the difference between Combat Maneuvers, Armor, and Weapon specializations?

Each of these categories allows you to use your skill training to further specialize your character. They add new attacks, defenses, buffs, or other abilities to your character's repertoire. However, they each work a little differently:

• Combat Maneuvers is a skill (the ones under GOAL) which grants you access to a number of subskills which you can use to further specialize your character. Once you train in this skill, you can use CM LIST to check which maneuvers are available to your class, and CM INFO to see which you have. You can use CM by itself to bring up the full menu of commands, including how to learn new ones.

• Weapon Techniques are another subset of specialized skills which are learned automatically when you train in a given weapon skill, e.g. Edged Weapons or Blunt Weapons. You can use WEAPON to see the relevant commands. The other commands are structured the same as for Combat Maneuvers.

• Armor Specializations are more similar to Combat Maneuvers in that by learning ranks of the Armor Use skill (also under GOAL), you unlock points which you can then place as you wish.

In summary, you can access each of these by typing CM, ARMOR, or WEAPON.
