OK, guys. I find this article from the official forum. Credots to the original author: bloopyeyes. I think this article is very useful. So hope that can help some 9Dragons players....

Make your starting character a warrior character no matter what you want to be
so stats will be str/dex/con check for builds in other posts but my example is below
This is because at level 25 you get to choose the main role for your character and can't use magic until level 25
Don't increase wisdom

Others will disagree but here is my basic stat upto level 25

start stats 4 str 4 dex 2 con
then each time you level as follows

1st level: 3 str 1 dex
2nd level: 2 str 2 dex
3rd level: 3 str 1 dex
4th level 2 str 1 dex and 1 con (alternate con and ess every 4 levels)
repeat above four steps til you get level 25

vary these as you wish - if you are running out of Vital Energy (VE) and want more then increase ess
if you want more Health (HP) then increase con

Press C to view your stats and increase them each level
Each level you also gain mastery points (press M to upgrade your weapon mastery)
If you are unsure what you want to be at level 25 then don't worry if you choose to restat these get given back to you as well to put where you want
note- a bracer is used to give extra damage to offensive spells (ie its a mages weapon)

At level 25 there is a clan quest to choose you main role in the game and you get the chance to have all your stat and mastery points back and put them anywhere you want ( see bottom of this post for more info)

If you are happy with your stats choose not to restat
if you are not or you don't want to be a warrior then choose to restat

You should see that mobs you attack have colored names
the colors are 1.dark blue 2.light blue 3.green 4.white 5.yellow 6.orange 7.red
those that are white are the same level as you
1,2 and 3 are lower level than you and give less exp but you gain a temporary stat bonus when attacking these
5,6 and 7 are higher than you and give more exp but you gain a temporary stat penalty when attacking these

For ALL players - Do quests as they appear or within 2 levels of them appearing and then level your char as you may run into problems later as some quests block your character from getting more quests
ie. they are quest blockers - one exception is the blindman quest this can't be done for quite a few levels after you get it

To ALL demon players out there about your 1st quest - the earring quest
When you give the girl the earrings she asks you to repeat something
You need to type this in the light brown box below the writing and type EXACTLY what she tells you CAPITAL letters and all
She has 3 quests like this and they are not bugged just persevere sometimes u need puntuation and sometimes you don't

To ALL Wu-Tang players
keep doing all the quests and you will get a quest to join appear
make sure you level the skills the old man gives you to at least level 2 and joining won't be a problem

For Most quest problems you come across refer to the quest section of the forum

Here is a list of items that you shouldn't buy from other players

Beginner manual 1 - on sale in ANY clan base for 500-700 gold
Intermediate manual 1 - on sale in ANY clan base for 1000-1400 gold

Manuals are used to train you skills faster than normal - the above books train them at double speed
Read a manual in peace mode and each one lasts for 30 mins
you can only have 1 manual active at any time
NOTE - Clan books are yellow color while dropped books are purple
DONT buy ANY manual that has a times 2 multiplier on it that reads for upto level 3 or level 5 whatever the color from other players shops - get from clan base
x3 x4 and x5 multipliers for upto levels 3,5 and 10 are drops and need to be found or bought and also x2 upto level 10

Collectable folding fans - the RED, PURPLE and YELLOW fans you get FREE as they are quest rewards
(Note:- you will need to find/buy the black and white fans)

Weapons - check price of weapon in village (NPC) shops and divide this price by 5
this is the sale price other players can sell their weapons to the shops for

So if you can buy in shop for 10k a player who has same weapon can only get 2k for it if they sell to NPC
so buy from another player for 3-4k

Don't Buy Fried pork you can get in tavern - it heals your hp and also is a reward for some quests

External wounds (EW) are gained when mosnsters (mobs) hit you extremely hard and can't be healed by normal healing methods
EW can be healed by items purchased from the doctor - if you have over 50 EW buy candela herbs under 40 ask doctor to heal you

ALL skills need VE to level them so if you run out of VE your skills won't level and you won't gain the bonus damage while attacking things
although you will still get exp when you kill mobs

DON'T buy Clan relics as you can only equip one
DON'T buy more than one of the same type of relic as you can only equip one of each
eg you can equip BOTH a +4str/+4dex relic AND a +5str/+5dex BUT not 2 relics both +4str/+4dex
You can't equip red and blue relics until you are Revolving Chakra (RC) level 37 so don't worry too much about these yet

Most green items you see for sale in player shops are quest items that you get FREE see post further down by tihoa for a list of the early items you get for FREE
Buy them if you really must have them or wait and complete the quests when they appear

Some items of clothing you get given to you from quests have pockets in them (you can also buy pocketed items from NPC and player shops)
these are for putting accessories into that increase your stats/Health(HP)/vital energy(VE)
simply right click item in your bag to equip it and right click it in character screen to remove it
Note you only get pockets in pants and tops a max of 4 in each so a max of 8 pockets
in general your clan or a quest will give you a 3 pocket item

LIGHTFOOT (LF) - this is a method of running faster and it is a reward for doing a quest in each clan
advanced lightfoot is a way of running even faster and needs to be learned from a tome which can be bought in player shops or found as a drop from things you kill
normally after you reach level 37
you can't use adv LF until you reach level 10 in the standard LF
note: if you run about doing quests and stuff you should reach level 10 of normal LF by about level 50
but obviously more running will get you there sooner

RELICS are special accessories that need karma to equip them
to check your karma go to your char menu and use scroll bar to go down where your damaga is listed

Red relics
You have to have more bad karma (BK) than good karma (GK) to equip these
BK is gained by killing other players from the same color clans in PK maps within 9Dragons
eg. if you are white clan then kill white clan players

Blue Relics
You need more GK than BK
GK is gained by killing mobs or other players from the opposite color clans in PK maps
eg. if you are white clan then kill black clan players

You can refine weapons to make them more powerful but it costs cash

1st you need to be in HEFEI this is a town - check map to see where you have to go to get here
You have to buy refinements in order from 1-9 to upgrade your weapon - you can't go straight to refinement +9

to refine a weapon you need to buy refinement item from general store

level 1 refinement costs 1000 gold (1k) (it looks like a jar)

take this to master refiner and she will charge you another 1k to upgrade your weapon
this will make your weapon +1 and a % of its damage will be added to the total damage it does

for +2 repeat as above but buy level 2 refinement

for levels 3-9 you will need to exchange Blood essences for the refinement jars

to exchange BE for the refinement jar visit the merchant near the white horse and cart in HEFEI

+1 and +2 refined weapons ALWAYS succeed

BUT from +3 onwards depending on the quality of the weapon /its color and other random factors there is a chance your weapon will break and you will lose it

Just be prepared and don't cry if it breaks - lots of people have had lots of weapons break

You only really need to upgrade your weapons from level 37 onwards and then +2 is good enough until you get level 49 then +3 is perfectly ok for the whole game
unless you really want to power level or kill other players really quickly

Epithets are the titles above a chars name (eg demon acolyte)
The 1st one you get is when you 1st become a member of a clan

press C to view your character and then click tab marked epithet and select the only title there then click accept and hey presto you now have added bonus stats and a name over your head (eg demon apprentice)

the 2nd one you get replaces this one and is received when you choose your main clan role at level 25 (OC1)(eg flower student)
others are gained throughout the game for doing quests and defeating bosses

There is so much more but I find the best way to learn is by finding out things for yourself
Join a Hero Band and if you have any problems they are always happy to help
Hero Bands are the guilds in this game and comprise of a team of upto 40 players in each one

a couple of basic questions answered:-

Q-help my char has disappeared

A-check that you are logging into the correct server
if you can't remember which server your char is on then click server before typing your username/password
and choose one - login as normal and if nothing logout and choose another server til you find your char


Q- I deleted my char and I liked the name but it won't let me use it for my new char

A- use the same name but with either a dash(-) or underline(_) at the end or any of the following
eg char name was Superman so use -Superman- or _Superman_ or SupermaN or -SuPeRmAN_ or Superman2

Q. Can I change to a different role if I don't like the one I chose ?

A. Yes - but first read clan leaders descriptions of each role and check forums for differences in each role
If you really don't like the role you chose then you have ONLY ONE MORE CHANCE to choose another role
If you don't like the new role then your stuck with it or you will have to start a new char
One NPC in each clan base has an optional quest to change your role (or just change your stats)
just click all NPC to find the one you need and follow what they say - basically its the same as when you chose your role the first time
this must be done before you reach level 61

ADD:

DON'T buy Clan relics as you can only equip one

DON'T buy more than one of the same type of relic as you can only equip one of each
eg you can equip BOTH a +4str/+4dex relic AND a +5str/+5dex BUT not 2 relics both +4str/+4dex

Green items you see for sale are quest reward items that people have received for FREE for completing quest
So you will also get them FREE when you do the quests

Red relics
You have to have more bad karma (BK) than good karma (GK) to equip these
BK is gained by killing other players from the same color clans in PK maps within 9Dragons
eg. if you are white clan then kill white clan players

Blue Relics
You need more GK than BK
GK is gained by killing mobs or other players from the opposite color clans in PK maps
eg. if you are white clan then kill black clan players
