Creating ur char . . . .
There is a page where you get 2 page of lists , one start with nothin , the other bigger one is full of choices . . .
thats a beginning bonus feature , you can pick 3 masteries to start with 30%
.....

SP Recover (for using physical skill)

And END . . . the limit for all these masteries is 600% . . . you cant get more . . . any combination is ok !!
You must be at 600% inable to decrease any mastery , in that case , one skill gain while the other lost


2.Your status points (str,vit ect) will random increase depending what you are doing !!
there is a max stats total too
for first generation , each stats can raise up to 100 . . .
however , each rebirth will give you 5 bonus on top of that single stats limit , but will not increase total stats max
Beside the stats or masteries , there is an arrow ... red meaning you allow it to rise , green meaning you want it right there , blue meaning you wanna decrease it !!

3.As you see there are 7 type of element masteries , each to one type of magic
and within each type , you get 7 lvs of spells . . . lv 1 often single target , higher lvls often are AOEs

4.Your character ages . . . 1 year is a week xD
thus the player who played with me in OB . . . we are all old xD like in 60 or 70 >",,<
old = weak = horrible = will die . . .
but there is a marriage and mate and birth system . . .
same thing as Mabinogi's Reborn . . . but you need someone opposite sex !
You must be a registred citizen at a nation to adopt or marry!!!
in the bottom town , you need 130 stats total , 60% weapon mastery to become a citizen
ps.There is a pregnant period before you can use ur baby

5.Double click a person -> options

B. Server/Guild

There is only one server . . . choose the bottom town to start off . . .
add my msn if you want . . . it should be helpful since my name in game contain weird japanese xD

To join guild . . . follow screen shot [only if you choose the bottom kingdom to spawn]
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y284/AngelTales/bi_20070301185359.jpg

BECAREFUL , the name of the guild is [alt+0134]Beauty&Beast[alt+0134] right now !!
so instead of Chaos put †Beauty&Beast†
† is alt + 0134

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y284/AngelTales/bi_20070301185321.jpg


a little sugguestion . . . . DO NOT TOUCH CRAFTING UNLESS YOU KNOW JAPANESE . . . .
not saying you wont know how to do it . . . you will spend alot of time into how it works . . . plus there are alot of recipes . . .

TIPS

1.Making Money
the best way to make money is mining . . . buy a pix from shop , pricing at 80 or something
sell the ores to PLAYER !!
player often buy ores 10+/ea . . . throwing shop is 2+/ea
or sell me . . . ill buy them all for 10/ea xD . . . besides one specific type ">>

2.If you play Physical Class
This game atk delay is long , but there is this combo thing . . . max 3 combo . . .
however it is a result of a buff skill . . . you get the first one when your weapon masteries adds up to 100 (sum of all those weapon masteries) . . . this skill duration is 2 mins
the better one comes when you get 200% total weapon masteries with 40 dex . . . this one is like passive , but you need to insert it into ur physical skill bar
so consider lvling different types of weapon to reach that 100% summed mastery first . . . itd help

physical skills . . . and their requirements . . .
ah did i mention that physical skills just pops up when u have its requirements !?!?
well now i did

3.Magicians
To use spell you need a book - for recording magic . book differs from the lvl of spell it can hold , some can only hold lv 1~lv 4 . . .
you get 6 slots per each lv of spell
http://www.syssupo.co.jp/bellewiki/index.php?%BF%BF%B8%C0%CB%E2%BD%D1
Spells . . . Click the elements under 真言魔術
to put spells into a book you need that spell's scroll . . . . shop or lower lvl , craft or other player for higher lvl
there is a quest that give you 30% mastery after completion . . .
thus do not start with 30% in element bonus

UPDATE 2007,03,05
actually that first button is for pms . . .
when you press it , it will auto copy the other guy's name into ur pm thing . . .
one char per account yes . . .

repair need some special "repair hammer" . . . but still , the max durability will be lowered each repair . . thus dont repair . . . keep crafting

er now crafting . . . me and a friend of mine made chars to do crafts (2 chars)
so you can basicly skip craft if you want

...however we do need ur help on gathering ores , fruit , fur , leather and such from source or monsters !!

...
now some new stuff . . .

Again the game has no lvl . . .
as long as ur mastery is lvling , ur stats will have a chance of rising !
meaning even if you have 200 stats total , you can still rise stats killing the cute bunny ">>
but of course , inable to craft high level equipments , players are often challenge by going to higher lvl monsters to gather material . .
then . . . high % masteries will not rise if your killing low lvl monster
eg.60% sword mastery will not gain anymore if ur still killing the cute bunny .

thus another tip . . . when ur mastery are full 600% . . .
do some other low lvl mastery . . .
eg.keep 40% free , then repeatly switch those 40% between fire magic and water magic or such !!

this is gna be nice
u live in Mississauga/Toronto?
cuz yah, it is snowin like sh1t lol
i jus came from cleanin MY driveway

thought u were talking to a npc >_> my bad lol

this games the shizznit on earth im downloading right now!.......ummm doesnt it seem to have alot in common with ffxi? i havnt played it but from the ss it looks alot like it.

Do you know how to type Japanese in this game or do you use the alt codes?

I have the IME installed, the typing part works fine, and I can see the correct characters when I'm selecting it but after selecting the character it doesn't show up correctly. XD It's either "????" or garbage. I can see other Japanese characters just fine except for mine lol.

Makes it hard to sell anything without a title...


Also something for you to add for mages. You need to buy blank pages to cast spells. Took me a while to figure that out after my spells stopped working but maybe that's just me :P

Maybe you haven't changed all settings into Japanese...?
there are 2 settings in Reginal and Language settings you need to change.

and, yea, magic paper is like bullets for magic... so carry a lot of them

also, there's a NPC in city that you can get those for 1G

Do you know how to type Japanese in this game or do you use the alt codes?

install japanese unicode and ime and when ingame push "alt + ~" to switch to japs.

and, yea, magic paper is like bullets for magic... so carry a lot of them

also, there's a NPC in city that you can get those for 1G

Holy Crap! REALLY!?!?! cause I kept buying them for 2G at the magic shop :eye:

Im in school right now xD
anyways ">>
yea there use to be a npc selling 1G magic paper ... but I couldnt buy it anymore . . . .
maybe my stats are too high or something ">>
for our kingdom , that npc is located above the center stairs , below a tent

Just a tip for folks who want to cast spells when telling the difference between the colors of the scrolls. They are:

green scrolls - earth spells
dark blue scrolls - water/ice spells
red scrolls - wind spells
purple scrolls - fire spells
orange scrolls - dark spells
yellow scrolls - holy spells
white/grey scrolls - time spells

Yeah, knocked my head around when I found out that the purple scrolls are fire, even though I pictured that purple is better for darkness. Eh, go figure.

Also, you can purchase some of your lvl 1 spells (at the very least the basic attack spells). The NPC that sells them is at the shop whose icon looks like a parchment with a quill on it. The only exceptions for the attack spells is holy and darkness, those you've got to make yourself. Dark is easy to make, dunno where to find the special item needed to make the holy scroll yet =/

actually... dark lvl1 spell(漆黒の槍) is also sold in shop.
light lvl 1 attack spell(魔弾), combine with arrow sold in weapon shop

hey how come everytime i start up the game after all the updates it jus shuts off as it loads? it worked for me yesterday!

Maybe you haven't changed all settings into Japanese...?
there are 2 settings in Reginal and Language settings you need to change.

Yeah that's it. I was hoping I could use AppLocale or have unicode support since the rest of the game seems to supports unicode already O_o

It's not like it can't display the character either lol. Oh well, I rather keep it on English than type Japanese. Thanks anyways.

hiho~!!

i can't join your guild Angel XO can't type that arrow

i'm thinking to make my own for my people that always act like a noob... i must help them and for our own life time before some JP piss off

want to know how to make that communication ring plz XD

i might join the chinese xD
i found one , he said alot of them are moving in ">>

ok~

good if we have a lots of company

and how to make that ring ~!!

i have tn of animal skin do you want it ? some fur too :)

p.s i'm enjoy training for combat skill now will collect them all

and spear type weapon does 4 hit with combo skill !!! XD

Could u give us more info, like features and stuff like that?

Nice guide, thanks, will def. try this game!

ive been wondering but is there a way to make a camp fire or whatever to cook if its required or a place in town i can cook at?

and if anyone wants, i can make a translation of the starting Skill bonus list thing if needed

the crafter in town can cook

if ur out in the field , yes you can set a camp fire and cook also
camp fire is a skill

then how do ya make the camp fire then? if the crafter can cook the food for ya then do ya get the exp for it? lol....... so then what skill or whatever do ya train to obtain the ability to make a camp fire

instead of mining for ores and stuff at the start of the game getting like 2 Gold for 1 ore, wouldnt it be faster doing a mission over and over again for Gold?

How much do you make from quests and which ones?
I get around 2k-3k gold each time from ores if I sell at 10 gold. Pretty easy since you don't need to click to mine.

@planet . . . . you bh read carefully ">> i said sell to player not npc >",,<
quest dont give a shit , they give you quest point to buy from quest shop , which is costly and somewhat useless , since you can make them too . . .
there is a use for quest , i will not say . . . .
camp fire skill . . . . read wiki ">>
everyone will get it sooner or later , it's requirement is stats total
but!!! but you need "fire wood" inable to built a fire . . .
you get fire wood from crafting or monster drop

umm

you can use yours Guardian to cooking or anything outside town (in CBT)

please contact me plannet XD

Gonna try this, downloading now, thanks for guide.

IGN will probably be: Xero

Will be a mage/warrior.

umm
please contact me plannet XD

and how am i supposed to do that? lol then again i never really seen anyone else online so im basicly playing alone

ive been wondering but where do ya get the misc. goods production recipe books?

you buy them from the crafting npc.

P.S. Don't message me ingame :P my chat is messed so what I say will be weird or wrong.

Also, I need to know when game maintenance is XD so tell me Angel :P

Is there a stat that increases magic accuracy? I keep missing so I die a lot...
Maybe I shouldn't have increased INT only XD

naturally DEX?
then again dunno lol
ugh taking me forever to even get 1 stat point

seraphicia you even go on msn anymore?
----------
hmmm been killing monsters and crap for hours and no stat points gained at all lol

my guide is now making

and you also fill this name to join my guild

Convergence

join guild guide is in first page make by Angeltales

ive been wondering but how do ya decrease the dang masteries lol

gotta hate it how i ended up with 30% sword mastery and then found it useless and i cant get rid of it
anyone know if the Hard Blow skill that you obtain after getting 50% Axe Mastery works with Bows?

a soldier npc or whatever gave this to me and i have no idea what i need to do with it http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/6563/bi20070310184438ox8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

^ O.O Planet, I want fancy gems, tell me how to get it XD

Just to post my advertisement here:

I am like Angeltales, I buy materials off players:
Iron Ores = 10G each, contact me or Angel
Copper Ores = 10G each, contact same as above

Unlike Angeltales, i'll buy there off players:
Raw Animal Hides: 4G each
Animal Hairs: 4G each
That weird ore where there are like bubbles or gravelish background: 3G each

How do contact me ingame?
Do "Sipek//<insert message here>" if i'm on that is. I'd like to say in advance that I may have possible chatting problems if I do not fix it by tomorrow.

^ O.O Planet, I want fancy gems, tell me how to get it XD

the gem pic i had posted is quest related or something lol
well one of the soldier guys by the campfire in the camp at F4 in Tabe Heights gave it to me, just dont know where to take it or what to do.... so dont get it unless ya know
if ya want jewels or gemstones go mine or buy them from other players lol

your chat problem is easily fixed by setting the non-unicode to japanese

your chat problem is easily fixed by setting the non-unicode to japanese

I know that, that's why i'll fix it eventually.

Edited: I forgot how to switch unicodes <hits head with air-filled hammer>. Someone mind telling me how to change it again? If not, be prepared to see "crafting" become "cring", "something" become "sohing" or "get" and other words disappear... and don't forget "to" becomes a 2 separate word binder lol.

amazing how much ore ya get for being the one to mine it dry

well if ya want i can mine ya some gemstones like moonstones and cat's eye depending on the price

Control Panel - Regional and Language Options - Advanced Tab - Japanese - Install/Use files - Reboot - Done

what do you guys think are the best ways to raise the stats?

Well, 1 week has passed since I started playing Belle Isle and i've learned much. Like mentioned before, i'll help anyone who needs it if i'm online (I think i'm online more than anyone else right now).

Here's some screens to show my progress:
*Warning: Screenshots are big so be warned dial-up users.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f288/Sipek28/bi_20070311144211.jpg

To contact me ingame, type in "Sipek//<message>". Although I have little knowledge of the game, I may be of some help.

Edited: I'm online on the weekdays usually between (in PST of course) 5:00pm-6:45pm and weekends around 9:00am to 3:00pm if nothing bothers me (yes, I have no life, but then again, loading takes a while).

lol find anything good after traveling a bit more out to mine?

im basicly hunting down monsters for gem fragments and socketed bows if they drop lol

The mining crystals which give bubbly rocks, copper, and iron ores stop giving me exp, so I moved to the ones near the silo-like structure area surrounded by aggressive man-eating pigs. The ores there are good, I can mix i think coal and iron ore together to make WATER!!! WOOT!! XD

Anyways, best advice to anyone who plans on becoming a wealthy crafter... sometimes selling stuff at its most basic form isn't so bad...

Ex:
Coal to Refined Coal Powder = +2G
Iron Ore to Refined Iron Powder = +2G
Mixing Refined Coal Powder with Refined Iron Powder = Water = -3G lost in profit.

Anyways, IN HUGE DEMAND OF ANIMAL HAIRS AND RAW ANIMAL HIDES!! WILL PAY 8G EACH WHEN ONLINE!! So save them up if you're killing wolves.

i already got a bunch of hairs and hides lol
so im basicly killing monsters for STR, DEX, and hopefully AGI fragments when im able
------------
got like 400 hides and 350 hairs

my little gem collection lol http://img471.imageshack.us/img471/1154/bi20070311170330to2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
------------
Sipek or any other crafter here think you can craft this for me if i can get the stuff required? http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/1108/bi20070312155438dm2.th.jpg (http://img478.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bi20070312155438dm2.jpg) oh ya and Seraphicia when does the GP to keep the guardian out recharge?
