What is your very first routine upon logging into the game?

Do you folks have a specific piece of content or menu you check the absolute second you log in? People usually call this a 'routine', and because everyone's playstyle differs, a cracking variety of routines exist out there. That is precisely why Arthdal Chronicles has kicked off the 'What is your very first routine upon logging into the game?' event where you get to share your starting habits. Just drop your very first routine as a comment on the official community event post, and boom, you are done.

If the event racks up over 200 comments, the developers are planning to dish out rewards to every single player of Arthdal Chronicles, alongside an extra batch of goodies for 200 randomly picked lucky souls. The raffle rewards include 'Spirit 11-Draw Gift Awakening Summon Ticket 2 - Mount 11-Draw Gift Awakening Summon Ticket 2', while the universal community reward hands you 'Silver Chest (1 Million) 1 piece - Regular Rift Dungeon Point Recharge Stone 2 pieces'.

Listen up! Issue Q&A

Q. What is the baseline for marketplace integration?
A. The marketplace is integrated based on regions.

Arthdal Chronicles operates an 'Integrated Marketplace'. As you can probably tell from names like 'New World S2 - New World - Crabon - Global' making up the 4 total pools, the marketplace is run strictly on a 'region' unit. Sometimes a few players pop up asking, 'What on earth is the marketplace integration standard?', but it is dead simple to understand: servers residing within the same region share the marketplace whenever you log in. Just double-check your assigned region and make proper use of the 'Continent Affairs - Marketplace Price Status' feature on the official Arthdal Chronicles website.

Q. My potions refuse to auto-use.
A. Make sure you actually dragged the potion down.

Recovery potions that top up your HP in Arthdal Chronicles are an absolute mandatory item. The game even provides a 'Consumable Quick Setup' feature that triggers your potions whenever your health dips below a certain threshold so you can pop them right when you need them. Yet, beginner players of Arthdal Chronicles keep raising their hands to ask, 'My potions won't auto-use!' At times like this, the absolute key things to check are whether you dragged the item or sorted your recovery potion settings properly.

Setting up the auto-use for recovery potions in the consumable quick settings takes two cheeky steps. Step one is setting up the potion you intend to use, and step two is dragging that potion downwards to activate the auto-use function. You can easily tell if you've dragged it right because a nifty purple line will appear right across the top of the potion icon.

On top of that, we occasionally get fresh players trying to buy high-tier potions without exhausting their lower-tier ones first. Doing this just means you end up buying fewer high-tier potions than your maximum capacity allows.After all, the total number of potions your character can carry is calculated by summing up every single potion currently sitting in your inventory, regardless of the tier.If you are dead set on filling your pockets purely with high-tier potions, clear out every last one of your low-tier potions first before you splash out on new ones.

This Week's Improvement Board

Next schedule for Class Change Ticket sales remains TBD

Arthdal Chronicles periodically offers a 'Class Change Ticket' through special sales formats, letting players swap their main profession. They drop these whenever there is a major balance patch or a fresh class addition, giving folks a cracking chance to try out a totally different playstyle. That being said, because both the sales period and the usage deadline are strictly timed, you've got to be dead careful with your swaps. Over on the improvement board, one disgruntled player noted that their hunting efficiency tanked after changing classes, prompting them to leave a query asking, 'Can't you just keep it open permanently?'

The Arthdal Chronicles team responded by stating, 'We view the Class Change Ticket as a powerful commodity that includes features altering your currently owned gear types, which could heavily shake up marketplace prices and the economy. Considering these weighty factors, we kindly ask for your understanding as a permanent sale is rather difficult to pull off.' They also added that while the exact schedule for the next batch isn't locked in just yet, they will make sure to drop an official notice the moment a sale gets greenlit. Keep in mind that the most recent Class Change Ticket sale went down on August 26, just so you have a frame of reference.
