Firstly, here are a few extra key combinations that are not shown anywhere in the game. Maybe they'll be helpful to you!

==Nighttime==
*Toggle Fullscreen (Control + F4)
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
*Toggle FPS/Ping Viewer (Control + F3)
Night lasts for roughly twenty-two real world minutes, from 7pm to 5am in World Time. Background music is replaced with ambient noise, most maps grow dark and make every source of light that much more precious.
And whatever other changes night may or may not bring is for you to discover.

==Dungeons==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Dungeons contain valuable items within. Clearing a dungeon will net you some of those valuables, along with a good amount of Player EXP. To enter a dungeon you must first be in a party, and the party leader must have at least one type of Dungeon Pass in their inventory. Normal, Hard, or Extreme. Upon interacting [spacebar] with the floating crystal, a window will appear. The party leader must then drag their chosen Dungeon Pass into the designated box as an offering. Greater difficulties yield greater rewards, but they also demand that you fight harder foes. Good luck!

While doing more damage is always great, it's important to keep yourself alive and healthy. In order to do that, here are a few tips!

'''Joining a Guild'''<br>
'''Joining a Guild'''<br>
A helpful [[Guild]] is one of the best ways to keep yourself alive! Not only because you'll have people looking out for you, but also because of Guild Perks. There are a variety of perks, some of them being very handy in keeping you in the fight!

When used, items like [[Return Crystal]]s will create a portal directly behind its user. A Return Crystal, for example, will open a white portal that leads directly to [[Spawn]]. It's not only convenient, it can be absolutely life-saving!

*''Note:'' Portal Crystals cannot be used near other portals. If you're fighting a dangerous enemy near a portal, don't waste time trying to use a crystal!

'''Campfires'''<br>
'''Campfires'''<br>
Placing a [[Campfire]] down will not only create a source of light in the map, but it will also increase the health recovery and mana recovery of everyone near it! You can't place any campfires down in a Dungeon, but that only shows how powerful they are! Keeping a few campfires on hand can be very convenient, if not outright necessary when trying to hunt down monsters above your level.

Strafing refers to the ability to keep facing a chosen direction regardless of how you move. It can be a very useful tool in continuing to damage the enemy while walk away from them!

Skills gain Skill EXP by using them. For example, you can level damaging skills only by last hitting enemies with said skill, healing skills by healing yourself/allies, or buffing skills by hitting enemies with any physical skill while the buff is in use. Skills can also gain EXP through the use of Skill Books, which are mainly found in dungeons. Some skills can only gain EXP with these books. Once a skill has enough EXP to level up, you must go into the Crafting Menu (M) and level upgrade it before the skill can earn any more Skill EXP.
