(Warning, the FAQs below might contain some spoilers, so if you really want to discover things on your own, you'd be better off not reading too far. This is not a manual. It's a self-help pamphlet.)


Q1. What are gems for?
Gems are used for things like buying pets, mounts, and forging. They have many uses within the Hinterlands. I even hear that the bartender is something of a gemologist and is always up for some bargaining.

Q2. How do you get gems?
The most common way to earn gems are simply by earning Jack's Torments. You might also be lucky enough to come across a few gems on your way to leveling. The Lost Ruins are another way to earn gems, but might leave you feeling cursed.
If none of those are to your liking, and you simply don't wanna participate in that portion of the game, pay attention to the calendar and see what events are being hosted. Perhaps gold and gems are one of the prizes?

Q3. Why do others seem to have so many hitpoints at a low level?
There's multiple reasons. Maybe they took a trip to visit the bartender, or they ran into a few encounters that made them stronger. Don't worry, you'll be get there too.

Q4. Why do people have different titles?
Different titles signify the different ranks of JT's people have. If you encounter Oogie Boogie enough times, you get new titles. You can check the Hall of Fame for hints to your next title.
Or maybe they've petitioned in for a custom title. Staff offer a free title (colourized to your specification), for new accounts. This is applied to one account only.
You can also pay the DP's for changing your title over in the Donator Lounge. The price is 1000 DP's (500 for your name colourization), and free for every change after the initial payment.


Q5. What is a buff?
A buff is something that can cause a temporary positive or negative reaction to your stats. Check to see if there's a different in your strength and defense? Notice something different? We thought so.

Q6. What is the point of charm?
Charm is needed to woo the person of your affection. Maybe you wanna try a visit to the inn or someone has captured your attention. To flirt with them you need a decent amount of Charm to make that possible.

Q5. What is a buff?
It's what we use to shine our shoes.
Did you think it was some sort of temporary or permanent effect which affects your stats in a positive or negative manner? Hah!

Q7. How do I check my charm?
Ask a friend, or go into your preferences and select to display your charm. It'll appear on the right in your stats under Personal Info.

Q8. Who is in charge?
Great question! Do you see the people with the pretty symbols in front of their names? They're in charge! You can also find out by visiting the Staff List.
