1. When buying or selling items, after you chose the item you want from the vendor's inventory, click the red "scales" icon (add gold to match balance offers)in the top middle part of your barter screen, the appropriate amount of gold will be automatically dropped into your section to match the price of the item of the vendor and vice versa. There is no need to manually click or drag the gold and choose the right amount at any given time.

2. Items in the inventory of all your characters, can be transferred to each other regardless of the distance between them, no matter where they are. Put both Crafting and Blacksmith on one character, and has that character stand near the anvil, forge and other crafting stations when in town. Put Bartering on another character, and use that character to shop. Do not go shopping with the whole team, send one person to one different corner of the map, and use the same person to buy and sell at the barter screen. When the shopper buy the crafting ingredients, transfer them directly using right click on the items to your Crafting guy, the item will be transferred regardless of the distance between them . Likewise, when your crafting guy make weapons for sell(staff etc), transfer them directly to your shopper to sell them no matter where he/she was.

3. When you have a weapon that has a certain elemental damage on it, e.g a sword that does a certain slashing damage and some fire damage, use the Fire Essence on that sword to further increase its fire damage. If you use any other kind of essence, the fire damage will be cancelled and the new elemental damage will be far lower than the default Fire damage if it was increased using a Fire essence. Long story short, always increase the elemental damage of a weapon using the same essence with the default elemental damage that the weapon came with.

4. Buy all the essence that you saw, to double all the elemental damage that comes with the dropped and store bought weapons, and add resistance to armors.

5. Every new weapon that you wish to use for a long time should be prepared like this:
bow and crossbow : bowstring - Tormented Soul - Essence
sword and melee weapon:Whetstone wheel- Tormented Soul - Essence
staff :moonstone - Essence

6. Most important resistance is Tenebrium. Always prioritize armor , ring, amulet and belt that add Tenebrium resist.

7. Arrowheads that you will always want to buy are Stunning, Charm, Water, and Fire. You can make Charming arrowhead with a kind of plant, and craft the Stun arrowhead with knife+teeth, but you cannot make water /fire arrowhead. Buy all the plants that can be made into arrowhead. Some plants need to be made into a resist potion first before they can be made into an arrowhead.
