Beginner Tips

In IxiQuest you start off with a few beginner AA abilities, most notably, Origin (allows you to port to your home town every 13 minutes), and Pet Affinity (This ability makes your summoned pets a valid target for beneficial group spells.) along with a few basic stats.

Press CTRL + F and locate the 'Spirit Assistant' NPC. Hail them to receive your starting AA's, some beginner buffs and the ability to purchase some basic no rent armor for yourself or for your pet.")

You can choose to use the tutorial zone up to level 14 by hailing Kardador Tarsinian or you can find valuable EXP and rewards in the following zones, Crushbone (lvl 4+), Kurn's (lvl 8+), Befallen (lvl 8+), and Warrens (lvl 4+).

Available Commands

  1. mystats (get the stats of a pet)
  2. corpsefix (Fix a buggy corpse)
  3. doanim <number> (Do one of the basic animations like flying kick, or rude)
  4. namepet (Premium command, allows you to name your pet anytime.)

IxiQuest Faction

Every kill greater than 30% below your level (typically light blue or higher) will give you 1 faction with IxiQuest. IxiQuest faction can be spent at Tally Cruz. She offers to sell a few familiar starter items as well as potions, and EXP nimbus. Jayson Bri'Tian exchanges IxiQuest faction along with a currency for trading in spells (non-kunark) in order to obtain certain class defining out of era spells, and custom spells.

Spell Trade-In (50+)

Jayson Bri'Tian exchanges IxiQuest faction along with a currency for trading in spells (non-kunark) in order to obtain certain class defining out of era spells, and custom spells. He will accept specific globally dropped spells that are not from the Kunark era, though some may drop in Kunark. Hail him for a list of spells he will accept, or trade a spell to him to see if he will accept it. Generally he will exchange a spell he wants for 30 silver tokens. Spells generally cost 100 Silver tokens and 50 IxiQuest Faction. It's beneficial to test if he will accept your spells as trade in before selling them on the open market. Jayson is the only place you can obtain silver token currency.
