How do I check my mail or bank account?

Speak with a Trader.

What are the "home cities," and when and how do I get there?

The four "home cities" are Old Tarantia, Khemi, Conarch Village, and Gateway to Khitai (which is not inside of the Godslayer expansion that adds Khitai).

The earliest that you may leave Tortage is level 15, and the latest is level 25. Upon leaving Tortage (whether via the smuggler or completing the Night quests), you will be transported to your character's "home city" depending upon what you chose at character creation.

An Aquilonian character goes to Old Tarantia, a Cimmerian character goes to Conarch Village, a Khitan character goes to Gateway to Khitai, and a Stygian character goes to Khemi.

Where do I find better armor and weaponry?

1) Quest completion may grant a piece of armor or weapon.

2) Speak with an NPC (non-played character) Armorsmith or Weaponsmith merchant.

3) Kill things in PVE, Raids, or 6-Mans.

4) Use Funcom points to purchase something from the game store. Press the comma key ( , ) to access the store from the character select screen or while logged onto a character.

5) You may check the Guild Bank from a Trader for free blue gear. If you see something you want for your guild character, send Charayne / Kyna a tell.

When can I get a mount and what does it cost?

You may purchase a mount at level 40 in one of the "home cities," (Old Tarantia, Khemi, or Conarch Village) from a horse vendor. These vendors sell several different varieties of horse. If you are not level 80, you will only be able to use the Basic Riding Ability, which gives you a horse that travels at normal speed.

A level 80 character has more options. In addition to being able to purchase a normal horse in a home city, a level 80 character may also purchase the Advanced Riding consumable. This allows a horse to be turned into a swift mount and gives the horse the ability to kick an enemy.

A level 80 can also obtain an armored horse from a vendor within a guild city, provided the guild has a high enough renown to have said vendor.

A level 80 can obtain a mount from doing Factions quests in Khitai, provided the Rise of the Godslayer expansion was purchased.

One last note: The in-game Funcom store offers a variety of additional mounts to players in exchange for Funcom Points.

When do I get a cape?

You receive your first cape in-game at level 40.

What is the Totem of Origins?

The Totem of Origins is a special bind-on-pickup teleport on its own 24 hour timer.

The Totem allows you to return to your home city (not the city your Path of Asura is set to) once every 24 hours. Useful is an emergency, you may obtain one by defeating the final boss in the Epic Sanctum of the Burning Souls instance. This instance is located in the Wild Lands of Zelata in the mountains on the eastern side.

You cannot have more than one Totem of Origins.

The Totem is obtained two different ways:

1) Defeating the final boss in the Epic Sanctum of the Burning Souls instance. This instance is located in the Wild Lands of Zelata in the mountains on the eastern side.

2) Defeat Atzel inside Atzel's Fortress. This instance is located in Atzel's Approach on the top-right corner of the map.

What are Veteran Tokens and how to I get them?

Veteran tokens are special tokens given to players with a subscription. They allow a player to purchase things such as paths to areas from a Veteran Tokens merchant. For every month a subscription is in effect, a player receives a certain number of Veteran Tokens.

What is the Path of Comrades?

The Path of Comrades is a special teleport that allows you to directly enter your Guild City (if you are part of one).

This teleport is on the same 30 minute timer as your Path of Asura.

To obtain a Path of Comrades, enter the Temple in your guild city and tell the Priest that you wish to be shown the way. After paying 1g to the priest, you will receive a consumable that will give you the Path of Comrades.
