Soul Gate

Once you have chosen Dyos or Nyos, you can start working on leveling it. At the end of each level, there is a gate that you must break to get to your next level. The gate number is the same as the level that you are currently in. For instance, you start on level 10. Once you add enough soul power, you will reach your level 10 gate that keeps you from getting to level 20 until you break it.

You break each gate by completing a series of quests in a particular order in order to resume leveling your vice/virtue. The quests might say that you have 4 hours - but that changed a while back and they didn't change the language. You actually have 7 days. These 7 days are not affected by weekly reset.

For the most part, the quests must be completed in the order that they are listed. If you do something in the wrong order, it doesn't mean that you have to start all over though. You simply have to complete the part of the quest you are on and then do the next one that pops up.

The quest text and the actual requirement don't always match up. If you are having trouble figuring out what the quest actually wants, you should be able to get a description of the actual task needed by hovering your cursor over the quest in the queue.

NOTES:

Quest pickup is done through the the V menu or via the gate npc, Eiffel. She is in Nightfall Citadel next to the dragon/phoenix/bounty orders npc.


Cracked fissures are open 18:00 to 23:59 ST and require a cracked crystal for each party member that is entering. You can get these crystals by running the regular fissure or buying from AH. If you die or leave, you will need another crystal to get in. You do not need three people to enter the cracked version, you can go alone, but you will probably want at least three people. All of these cracked fissures are entered by going to realm 2 and talking to the underwater npc in the Coastal Ruins in Sleeping Jungle.


Pentinent's Tear is gotten either from finishing your apprenticeship, from getting to floor 20 in HR, or from another player. If you lost your tear and you can't find one in AH, an option for getting one would be to create an alt and graduate them. It is completely possible to level a char to 60 in even as soon as a day. Speed Leveling Guide

Arena/FF can be difficult to get into, and daunting for the pve'r. Go during times that others are participating and queue. You don't have win; you just have to get in.

Hell Road (HR) is meant to be a progressive instance. Although you may have gathered the sp to open your gate, you may not have built your character enough to beat the necessary rooms of HR to finish that gate.

• Get your gear up to level and ID
• Fortify your gear to at least 3/12 and put at least level 1 gems in all slots
• Reforge whatever you can to add attribute pts to your gear
• Make sure you have placed all your talent points
• Learn all the skill scrolls you can get 
• Level up your soul power skills
• Place any mastery/resistance points that you have collected - run instances that drop mastery/resistance. Borderland Invaders and Fate are good, easy, quick ones for this.
• Farm evil souls to feed and strengthen your Aryshi - reset a particularly generous floor instead of progressing. You can get more evil souls per run this way :)
• Get Buffs! Get ALL the BUFFS!! (don't buy them from Aryshi - she's a big ripoff. Guildies and others will give them for free. Or, do what I do, run HR after running an instance that will have enough different chars to give you all the buffs xD)
• Use a health serum if necessary. Many people I know were able to beat a particularly difficult floor with the help of serum.

What to do with all the soul power building up until you can open your gate? The game actually gives you a few alternate uses for your soul power:

• Give it to your deity in the temple next to Eiffel (need to have gate 70 completed).
• Pet control training (if you have it opened up - I heard it opens once you reach 85 now)
• Open the other side of your soul power tree and start adding pts to that tree. This quest starts at Rogers in Nightfall once you have surpassed your 60 gate. you'll want to do this even if you have no plans to use this other tree because some of the skills are unaffected by soul power. In other words, THEY ADD TO WHATEVER TREE YOU ARE USING. Extra points!
