Q&A

   Q.:) When is a good time to focus on leveling certain stats? I focused on Stamina in the beginning, but how much is enough to avoid being too low on Attack and Defense later?
   A.:) It is up to your own personal preference how you choose to distribute your stats. However, keep in mind that in order to complete event treasure sets you will need some degree of attack to obtain treasure through battle, and it may be in your best interest to protect the treasure you possess. The DEF PWR stat will scare away most people just by having it, and you don't really need to have a very high number. Just get a hand of defensive cards and raise your DEF so you can use the hand to defend yourself once. ATK PWR can be treated the same way, just get a hand of powerful cards and get enough ATK PWR to let you use it, you may opt for more to help in Holy Wars etc.

   Q.:) What cards are worth maxing out? Are Rares worth it, or would you only max something S Rare and above?
   A.) I max out every card I use in my ATK deck. I would also recommend maxing out every card you use in your DEF deck. Rares, if you use them, are most definitely worth maxing out, as they have more levels and get more powerful than maxxing high normals, but a maxxed high normal is nothing to sneeze at. The rarer a card is, the more levels it takes to max it out, so don't fret over the rarity of the card to max it out. I max out normals, evolve, and max out each stage just for the archive bonus. Sometimes I have to chill and sell cards to replenish my rupies but I'm pretty sure my archive bonus will pay off in the end.

   Q.:) Are friendship points used only to buy a card pack, or can you do more with friendship points?
   A.:) Friendship points are only used for purchasing card packs at the moment.

   Q.:) Do the chances of getting a better card when buying a card pack increase when you level up? (so, do you get better cards at level 50 then at level 20)
   A.:) I don't think so, I just claimed 10 friendship packs over level 60 and only got normals, and have gotten quite a few high normal and rares before. Recently I obtained an Arc Dragon through it, it is really just a lottery, sometimes you win big, sometimes you just have a handful of enhancers.

   Q.:) At the moment I completed my "ring" treasure. When are you able to search for the next treasure?
   A.:) Orbs will be your next treasure, you will start finding them in Chapter 6. It's possible you're already past chapter 6 and just haven't found your first orb yet, just go to the quest list and repeat the quests that show 4 loot slots.

   Q.:) What is the purpoise to join an Order? What can you do instead of just..."being in an order with some people"
   A.:) Joining an order can give you ATK and DEF boosts, and provide a framework for assistance. "being in an order with some people"... well, I'm working on that one, I will put a post up when I get the Robguide order going, for testing purposes and to enhance the function of orders; including a forum for posting trade negotiations and strategizing in Holy Wars, and a chat room to shoot the breeze and share information with your fellow order members. You can leave an order-wide message, and can 'support' players by sending a message at the moment, but I think we all know how tedious that can be, and how unrealistic it is to use it for an actual communications channel. Also, you can get some rare cards in Holy Wars with Silver Coin Card Packs, which is always useful ;).

   Q.:) Is there a way to find players via their wish-list? So for example; I have an item I want to trade, can I search for players who want that item?
   A.:) Not at the moment. I will be releasing a more complete website where users will be able to post their wishlists, and forum posts to negotiate trades, which will offer similar functionality, but as far as in game, unfortunately no.

   Q.:) I see lots of players with higher levels, who have form one high normal cards. Are you able to get those via quests in later stages? Because I've only been getting normal cards in quests at this time.
   A.:) Indeed, you can obtain (High Normal) cards later in the quest progression, and through friendship and silver coin card packs. Event quests typically drop (High Normal) sooner than regular quests. You will get those rare cards.

   Q.:) Where are you going to post the artwork archive?
   A.:) By the artwork archive, I'm assuming you're talking about the card archive, and that is an enormous work in progress. I will have to have a new website to really do what I wish to do with it, as I intend to tie the archive into a link system that will be used for wishlists, and trades. There are thousands of cards, and I actually have to collect them in the game before I can gather the data, and that includes evolving them etc. It will probably be a month or 2 unless I get a few helpers.

   Q.:) When enhancing a card, does it matter what card you use to enhance? I've been sacrificing my low lvl normal cards to enhance my stronger cards, but is it better to use stonger cards to gain more stats?
   A.:) I started writing a response to this one, but with how long the response was going to be, I decided to make this our winner! I will be sending you an email for your player name Kim, so I can get you the winning prize; Man Guinevere (High Rare)! This card is an excellent defensive card, providing a Big Boost to DEF to all of your cards. It's first form, level 1 has 2320 DEF and 2350 ATK with a PWR Requirement of 18. Congratulations! Perhaps you can test enhancing out a little for me on this ;)!
