When you're new to Mobile MMORPG games, it might be hard to understand how the mechanics work. Here are some of the gameplay tips to help you along the journey into Jiang Hu.

* Basics
## Moving

To move within the game, use the lower-left screen. When tapping on the lower-left portion, you will trigger the control pad, so make sure to drag the camera around if you want to tap something on your lower-left side. To drag the camera, press and hold on any available space on your screen and pull to the side.

## Attacking

To attack, press the large weapon on your lower right side to ready your character if they are not already in battle mode. If your character is already battle-ready when you press the large weapon icon, it will execute a normal attack. When your character is battle-ready, four little circles will appear showcasing your class skills. You can press on the little circles to execute your skills and you can also drag the wheel to access the second set of skills. You can drag the skill wheel upwards or downwards to access both sets of skills. If you jump while your character is battle-ready, there will be two more circles for skills. One is your jump skill and the other is to drop down quickly. If you have a secondary weapon equip, it will also appear when your character is battle-ready.

## Jumping, Sprinting, and Stamina bar

To jump, there is a small shoe icon above the large weapon icon. If you press that when you are not sprinting, you will do up to three normal jumps. If you are sprinting (the smaller icon of the silhouette of a man running that is right above the jump icon), you can do three super jumps and if you press the jumping button again after the animation of the third jump, you are able to fly. When flying, you can stop your momentum by pressing the jump button once again.

However, keep in mind your stamina bar (located on the jump button), or else you will take fall damage and lose energy. When you are flying, it takes a lot of stamina and it is not recommended to completely run out of stamina when flying. In order to prevent taking a lot of fall damage, always break your fall by jumping once or twice every few feet of falling.

When you are sprinting, not only will you run faster and be able to jump higher, but you can run across the surface of deep water. However, like with flying, it does take energy and it is not recommended to push your character does not have energy. You will take damage and cause your character to die by drowning.

A few ways that you can recover stamina is to stay still or ride your mount. When you ride your mount, you should be able to travel long distances without having to consume stamina at all.

## Quests

When you pick up a quest, it will appear in the quest bar to your side. Your quest bar has three different tabs: Primary quest, Secondary quests, and Tertiary quests. Most of the quests are auto-route, meaning you can press on the given quest to automatically have your toon go to selected areas. There are a few quests that require you to do various tasks on your own, like jumping onto the rooftop of buildings or press the pop-up icon.

## On-screen Pop-ups

Sometimes during a quest, the game will have you press a pop-up in order to advance to the next part. Sometimes when you walk by something, a pop-up will appear on the screen to signal you to grab, harvest, steal, or any other sort of action. These kinds of icons are small but they appear towards the center-right of the screen. You press on it to let your character do the action. Although be careful since some of the options aren't lawful, and you might end up stealing a watermelon and getting attacked by an NPC who values his merchandise.

Sometimes, when you finish a quest or a dungeon, you will have a notable pop up on the screen that will tell you to equip or open a certain item. All of these on-screen pop-ups will appear on the right-hand side of the screen.

## Inventory

Accessing your inventory is easy. Just open the bag-like icon to open your inventory. This is where your rewards and other acquired items will be held, however, it might overfill with how much stuff can be placed into your bag. Luckily, getting more inventory space is very easy so long as you have bronze coins. This goes with any of the inventory slots in any of the inventory tabs. At the very bottom of your bag, you will see two rows of locked slots. Press on them and a pop-up will appear that will ask you if you are willing to spend a certain amount of bronze coins to open up the slots. The price will continue to climb until it reaches a cap of around 50K bronze coins. You can still purchase more inventory space to infinity even after the price has hit a cap.

In order to find out what the item you have does, you can always tap on it and press the first button that appears, **使用** (Shǐyòng/use).

Within your inventory, you will also occasionally have repeats of the same item, the only difference being that one batch of said item will be bounded to you (it will have a lock icon over it) and the other item will not be bound (It is able to be sold in the Market). You can merge the two items together to help save room. Press on one of the two icons and tap on the button that says **合并** (Hébìng/merge).

Another way to save space is to either Recycle (**回收**. This makes the item give you bronze coins), Throw Away (**丢弃**), or Break Down (**分解,** Turns the item into other items that can be used). Some items have additional options for them such as **摆摊出售** (Set up for sale) which you can sell the item in the market for Silver Yuanbao.

On the very bottom right of your inventory, you will see a chest icon with the words **仓库 (Cāngkù)**. This is your portable storage. When you have it open, any item that you select in your bag will have the words **放入仓库** (Put in the warehouse) while any item that you select in the storage will have the words **取回包裹** (Retrieve package).

## Adding Points

When you click your inventory, there are two tabs above the inventory tab on the right-hand side. The first tab is your character attributes (属性), and the other is the tab you can go into to add points (加点). As you level, you will gain points to put into certain categories. The categories are as follows:
> **【体】**HP value
>
>

> **【劲】**ATK and a small amount of external DEF.
>
>

> **【气】**MP and a small amount of internal DEF (PS: Healing is affected by MP)
>
>

> **【御】**DEF (internal and external) and blocks
>
>

> **【敏】**HIT, Crit strikes, and Crit healing
>
>

Different classes may require different builds. For example, for PVE DPS, you will require 3 points into Attack (劲) and 1 point into Crit (敏); for PVP DPS, you may need 2 Body (体) and two attack (劲). If you are worried about building other stats, don't worry. You can build them through the Stat Gems you can embed into your armor.

## Understanding Cultivation Level

Your cultivation level is very important to understand how strong you are. Starting off, you may be at a very weak 100 or 4000 cultivation level, which won't get you too far. As you become more familiar with the game, the cultivation level will slowly rise. A lot of things can help with your cultivation level from status gems, to better armor and armor upgrades, to stone upgrades and the significantly helpful Secret Techniques.

You can keep an eye on your cultivation under your character when you enter the inventory/character interface since it is the number under where your character is standing. The arrow at the side of it shows you a window that includes the various activities and upgrades you can do to help improve your cultivation.
