Need to know? Issues Q&A

Q. Where can I find the Divine Knight's 'Onslaught' skill book?
A. There are various ways to acquire it.

Skills in Arthdal Chronicles can be obtained through various channels, starting with job quest rewards. These include options like Alliance boss reward chests, field boss drops, and hero skill selection chests. As the image shows, the Divine Knight's 'Onslaught' skill book is no exception. If you are ever hunting for a specific skill book, you can simply check the 'Item Details - Acquisition Location' tab in-game to see exactly where to go.

Q. Do fish from low-level areas actually sell?
A. Only fish from the 'Forest of the Great Tree' and above are worth your time.

For those playing without splashing much cash, fishing is a vital way to earn diamonds. However, many beginners waste time in low-level zones where the fish just don't move on the marketplace. Veterans recommend starting at the 'Forest of the Great Tree' or higher. Since fish are used for collection materials and the 'Lands of Glory' has an automated completion event running, demand is heavily concentrated on high-level catches.

Don't overlook your gear, either. Fishing in these areas requires a specific proficiency level, meaning you will need at least a Hero-grade rod. The Forest of the Great Tree requires a +2 rod, while the Binari Basin and Stone Wall Thicket require a +3 rod. Treat it as a necessary investment.
