or: Not So Frequently Asked Questions But Things You Wanted To Know Anyway!!


I'm proposing to run a list of FAQs here for our general information. There will be a number of questions in here that don't have answers and which I (or someone else) would like the answers to. If you find answers to these unanswered questions, please post them here. If you have any questions of your own, with or without answers please post them here. I will endevour to continue to update this post with the latest information.

Unconfirmed answers are in Italics

FAQs:

X2, Check out the "Yak's (mini) guide", as it has a few answers already.

Skill Rank is a multiplier to the time it takes to learn a skill, it has no other bearing in game. If it's rank 3, it'll take 3 times longer to learn that a Rank 1.
