Quest Combinations
Online role playing games are filled with fetch quests, where non player characters (NPCs) ask you to get a certain number of an item, or kill a certain number of a type of creature. In "Cabal Online" you will often have several of these quests available at once. For instance, you will have two NPCs asking you to kill a type of creature, one asking you to kill 10 and the other asking you to kill 15. Before you set out into the wild check all of the available quests so that you can accept all duplicates at once, and complete two quests at the same time.
Stat Focus
When building your character for any online RPG it's important that you pay close attention to your lists of abilities and power set. Read through your class's complete list of powers, and decide what you want to focus on. If you're playing a Force Archer, for instance, do you want to focus more on damage-dealing capacity? If so you'll want to increase the stats tied to your damage, and all powers that deal additional damage to enemies. In these cases stats that don't help you achieve this goal should be given a back seat, and powers that do no damage, or which don't help you hit, should be ignored in favor of boosting those that do more harm.
PVP
Player Versus Player (PVP) is when two players decide to fight it out on the game server. While allowed, there are penalties for choosing to fight, and to kill, another player's character. The first Player Kill (PK) offense renders you unable to use shops for 10 minutes, the second an inability to talk to NPCs for 30 minutes, the third an inability to talk to NPCs for 60 minutes and you can be killed by other players at no penalty. The penalties increase until, at your fifth consecutive player kill, you are locked in a labyrinth for 150 minutes and you lose your equipment if you die. Now, this system can be used to your advantage: Because the penalties only go up if you continue to fight other players while in PK punishment, if you have a problem with another player you can duke out your differences, and then run and hide until you've outlasted the penalty. Or, alternatively, you can find players who are in PK punishment (their names will register as orange, red or black) and then kill them at no penalty to yourself.
Pay to Advance
One thing that's true of MMOs everywhere; there is a lot of grind. You have to run around and kill a certain number of this monster, find a certain number of this item, and you need to continually gain levels. It takes a lot of time, and you often end up doing the same thing over and over again just to advance your character in power. However, if you have a little extra cash, you can pay someone to do the grind for you. Websites like MMOOFFERS.com offer leveling services where you pay a certain amount and the gamers employed by the company will run your character through the grind, getting you XP and advancing you in power for a certain amount of time.
