==Game system==
===Skills===
Q : What about skill system in this game, i can't find any masters to learn skills.
A : First you must change class (need level 10, then take quest 'Class Change Exam' from Vitt). Then go to blacksmith (in Merida Village it's Anton) and select Cores -> Make Core from his menu (you'll need some materials to craft skill cores). After creating a core you need to install it in weapon you use. Select Cores -> Install Core and select weapon with empty core slots. Cores has a chance to break when removing from weapon, but if you remodelling your gun/sword/rod, skill cores will remain. For example you have Repli Sword D with installed skill StrikeL1 and remod it: you'll get Repli Sword C with installed skill StrikeL1. Basically weapons have 0-2 core slots, to get more you must remodelling upgraded weapon. More upgraded -> more chance to get core slot when remodelling (+9 -> 100% chance to new slot) also, some weapons can be upgraded only to +5. That's "skills" in this game. You can't "learn" skills as in other games. Each Skill Core contains skill, each weapon has certain amount of core slots. When you install skill core in weapon, u can use skill that core contains. If you equip weapon without installed skill cores, then you can't use skills 'till you install core in this weapon. If put it simple: not character learn skills - weapon does it.

A : If your phone is rooted, you can't play the game ; the only solution as of now is to unroot the phone, at least temporarily. If you can't do that, you're unfortunately out of luck, contact the Asobimo team and/or pray that a future update will lift this restriction. (see also this post, and this post)
===Pets===
Q : How to get a pet/an egg ?
A : As of now (Sept. 12, 2013), there is no way to get a pet or an egg. The methods to get one are to buy one in the shop (with real money) and or get lucky and catch one (still in the shop) with one free try everyday, but it is rare (rarity 4/5). Another method is by getting a reward at the story quest 7-5 which is level 90+, or wait for an event to get one. Unfortunately, none of these methods are implemented in the current beta (see also Pet#How_to_get)
Q : Can a pet die ?
A : A pet will die if its HP reaches 0, but the player can get it back by going to the nearest town and talking to the NPC who handles pets. Most of the time, pets will flee the battle when their HP get low, even more when they have a low affinity rank
===Core slots===
Q : How to get more core slots ?
A : Upgrade your weapon 8 or 9 times, you'll get a 75% chance to have 1 extra slot if you upgrade 8 times, and a 100% chance if you upgrade to max. Note that some weapons can only be upgraded to +5, if that's the case upgrade to at least +4 ; the cores used to upgrade the weapon do not have any influence on the probability rate. You'll also be limited to 9 cores max
===Character slot===
Q : Can I have more than 1 character ?
A : You'll have to buy a character slot in the webshop with coins (so real money !), or if you have multiple google accounts, clear data and relaunch the game every time you want to change character ; if you have multiple Android devices you can play one character per device, so you won't need to do this again and again.
===Skill points and class change===
Q : Will my skill points reset when I change class ?
A : No, your skill points won't be reset, the only way to reset them is by using an item in the webshop, so choose well how you'll use your points before changing class !
===Items===
Q : I can't find the item I bought/won in the webshop ?
A : The items from the webshop will not get in your regular item box, check in your mail by going to "Items > Mail" (second option), they should be here
