See the infobox listed on Mythos.

What races are currently available and which ones are expected?

 * Satyr (modified from the original Elf)
 * Gremlin
 * Human

How do I get and use Beta Invites?
Invites are only given out periodically, under Flagship's discretion. The last time invites were given out was on New Years Day, 2008.

To use an invite, log into [Mythos.com], then if you look in the right column under "Beta Signups" and you have at least one invite, you should be able to enter the email address of whoever you want to be able to create a new account. Note that if you are caught using multiple accounts, you will be banned.

What is the hierarchy of magical items in this game?

 * 1) White
 * 2) Green
 * 3) Blue
 * 4) Purple
 * 5) Orange
 * 6) Yellow (Known as uniques, however they are actually "templates" with small randomized modifiers - just like those of Diablo II)

I have a green item, it can't be identified and there are no bonus stats, what's up?
You probably have an item with what is known as a quality prefix. The item you posses probably has one of the prefixes listed in the table - these items have their base stats increased by an amount assigned by the prefix. Although no bonus stat appears on the item, the stats have already been modified to adjust for this change (currently the stats remain white).

Where can I get better rifles?
The top rifles in the game can be found in several locations. First of all, Dwarven Cannons (DCs) cannot be purchased anymore, so you'll have to get lucky and find one as a drop (note that you must be over level 40 to have one drop). It may be possible to get a DC from a random quest reward when you are at a high level. Like Enchanted Flintlock Rifles (EFRs) in the current patch, DCs were once purchasable at Jerico the Statue in Hermit's Crossroads. Note that EFRs are only purchasable after you have defeated Harduk. Heavy Dwarven Rifles are purchasable from the smith in Tulin's Hope, but remember that all purchasable weapons are based upon your level. You'll need to be around level 30 to pick up an EFR from Jerico, and possibly as low as 15 to get a Heavy Dwarven (level ranges not really known).

My character is invisible, why does this happen and how can I fix it?
Well, it's a glitch - a problem with the game where your character's avatar or model isn't displayed properly. Note that this graphic bug can occur on models other than your character's. Press and hold Shift and press ; alternatively you can use with or without Shift.

Skill Related Questions

 * Q: Deep Wounds & Burning Focus: do these really work with just bladed weapons/melee attacks? Do they work with ranged weapons (bow, xbow)?
 * A: Just bladed.


 * Q:Blade Shards: does it process only on critical hits from bladed weapons/melee attacks? Does the increased crit chance work only on bladed weapons?
 * A: There currently is a bug that allows the shards to explode on any melee weapon. But all ranged attacks won't work.


 * Q: Focus Mastery: does the increased crit chance apply to any attack (melee, ranged, skill) or just to normal melee attacks?
 * A: Melee.


 * Q: Is there a stat affecting critical chance?
 * A: There is, but it's not getting displayed yet. Hopefully we can add that to the details pane (Press C and you should see a tab called details ).

Can Burning Arc score critical hits?
Like all abilities, yes.
