			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Is this the game for me?</span><br />
<br />
Blade and soul is a unique mmorpg that focus' on martial arts style of combat with a combo system that acts like fighting games. It's a game with a heavy PVP aspect, but also a rich PVE enviroment to enjoy. I'm not big on PVP myself, in fact I actively avoid it, but honestly as somoene anti-pvp it has eased me into it. It's a game that really forces you to learn your class, it's a game that rewards practice, but also makes you practice without even being aware of it<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Okay when is it coming out</span><br />
<br />
<br />
January 19th, or January 15th for Founder pack purchasers. Regarding founders pack, if you are very interested in the game, I highly suggest you get the masterspack. Although the beta is done, it saves you about 50 bucks on all the included crap like storage space, and items to affect your quality of life. It also puts you at level 5 with the premium status which gives you a whole other list of extra benefits. I highly recommend the master pack.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">What are the classes</span><br />

Oh boy oh boy. For the NA/EU release there will be Destroyer, Kung fu master, Blademaster, Blade Dancer, Assassin, Summoner, and Force master. There is a "week of the *class* that NCsoft discusses, just youtube it up and you'll get an indept explanation. Blade and soul does not have "designed" jobs for each class, there is no healer, there is no tank, some classes are better suited because of skills, but none are incapable of doing anything honestly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Destoryer: Mob destroyer and great in PVP, they are bulky, they are strong. I mean you pretty much get the idea looking at the class. Seriously, they literally stab you with their axe then twirl you around just to throw you.  <br />
<br />
<br />

(Unfortunately week of the destroyer didn't provide a video so I'm just posting a different video)<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUT67hxSbxs" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUT67hxSbxs</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Blademaster: Jack of all trades honestly, they shine the most if they are holding the aggro of boss monster/mobs, they focus on retaliation rather than outright DPS. Plus you summon swords, who the pineapple needs cats?<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Blade <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">dance</span>: This is currently the best class in PVP right now (level 45 cap PVP). It's also a hybrid of force master and blademaster, adding elements to their blade and being able to grab and hold opponents for massive free DPS bursts. If you like Yoda, they pretty much play the same.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uKEzMKwLtI" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uKEzMKwLtI</a><br />

<br />
<br />
Assassin: Literally the name says it all. Stealth, poison, great DPS. This is a trap setting class, it's very flashy, with every technique you would expect an assassin to have. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLOkJdH-22I" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLOkJdH-22I</a><br />

<br />
<br />
Kung FU Master: IMO the hardest class to play in the game, very short time intervals to do their combos, but they hurt, and have this "earth bender" type feel to them. You can feel the screen shake from their hits. These are the best tanks in the game, they hold aggro better than blade masters, have much more to fall back on with blocks and insane avoidability, so keep that in mine.<br />
<br />
<br />

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7ngRkioHAI" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7ngRkioHAI</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Summoner: Closest thing to a cleric, with insane DPS, seriously these guys are a pain in the ass in PVP. First off, you're pretty much a puppet playing character, so you have the advantage of 2v1 most of the time. You shoot laser beams out of sunflowers like pineappleing solar beam, and look pineappleing beautiful while doing it. Also instead of tentacles they have roots of a flower that hold you down while a humanoid cat makes speghetti out of your face for an ungodly amount of time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tldr; pineapple summoners<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Forcemaster: Let me put this in perspective for you, a blademaster tanking, is probably going to do about 450k damage in the course of a boss fight, a forcemaster? Closer to a mil. They are INSANE dps. These arent your pomegranatety mages that stand and incite some pineappleing tablet from egypt pomegranate. These guys FLY around like pineappleing F16s with machine guns made of ice and fire. Granted you are squishy, obviously, but you wanna talk about glass cannon, more like glass deathstar.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">CUBES?!</span><br />
<br />
There is 100% no gambling aspect to the game, the only version that does is the Chinese version. Costumes add no stats at all, thely are purely aesthetic. The only thing that affects your stats are mainly your weapon, and soul shields. Soul shields are an 8 piece set of a pie like object that you can mix, match or upgrade to what you want your character to have. There is no method in cash shop that has any relevance to these shields or the items that lead to damage. There are "gem socket crystals", that add critial, hp, and things to your weapon. However they are incredibly weak, and untradeable. The "attack gem" only adding 7 attack to your weapon.<br />
<br />
<br />
I will continue on this point later in what you should be doing as you go through the game<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Pay to play?</span><br />
<br />
It is a free to play game, with an optional subscription (which price hasn't been released yet but people are assuming are 15ish bucks a month. The premium membership gives you quality of life benefits, discounts, faster crafting times, less wait time on quick travel (normally like 60 seconds iirc) and discounts on upgrading and such. It's a 10 tier system that will cost you nearly 800 bucks to get to level 10. Before you frown at me, this is accumulated overtime, and it isn't based specifically on how much you purchase.<br />
<br />
<br />
-First and foremost, your rank never goes down, you could spend 800 bucks in a month and immediately get rank 10, and never pay for the subscription status for a year, and you will still have that perk as soon as you renew the subscription.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Spending gold in game, and hongmoon coins also go towards this premium status. Hongmoon coins are 'tokens' you get from events, boxes, and some quests, which essentially cost 10 silver and give you a range of an amount based on what token it is. By spending and even acquiring these coins you get points towards your premium level. I've heard people get to level 6-7 just off these features alone.<br />
<br />
<br />
Costumes do not expire, are purchaseable using hongmoon coins (which honestly is legit way to get 'ncsoft credit' using in game gold in a legitimate fashion), but costumes are expensive as f`uck, like 20 bucks for the higher end ones. However a lot of costumes are droppable/boss exclusive. I would say out of the 200 costumes, 50 are cash shop exclusive (including pets). These are the methods that NCsoft will primarely be making money.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">So uh, what IS the RNG stuff?</span><br />
<br />
Weapon upgrades. Not what you're thinking though. There is no failure rate on weapons, there is a minimum to maximum threshold, but again, not the RNG sh`it you think. Each weapon goes from level 1-6, then you have to upgrade it, then 6-10 where then you have to upgrade it again. You will be given a survey type of quest for meeting level thresholds, that give you experience gems "Lucky gems", which greatly gains you experience regarding your weapon.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do.not.use.them. Seriously, most weapons at your 'stage' will do you fine up until inferal weapons (level 35-38). Once you get to level 45, itll get very difficult if you don't save those gems. Save your field repair hammers too, use regular hammers as much as possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now finally for the RNG, from 1-6, an open world boss will drop 'essense' for you to use at a roulette, which will drop a weapon box that allows you to evolve your weapon from 6-10. The trouble is when you open that box, you have a chance of any weapon from any class, although they are tradeable, so you could find someone with your weapon to trade with, if you're trying to be quick, it's better to buy the key in cash shop. The keys in cash shop save you wasting keys in game to open chests, hongmoon keys are given mainly through quests, and can get frustrating as one unlucky streak can make you have to wait for the dailes the next day. IMO you're better off just buying the "Brilliant" key in cash shop to accelerate the process. Manageable either way though.<br />
<br />
<br />
For level 6-10 weapons, its a raid boss you have to defeat, which also drops a weapon box with the same effect as above, but the boss also has a chance of dropping the weapon outside of the box too, catch is that weapon upgrade isn't tradeable.<br />
<br />
<br />
*NOTE* DO not feed the upgrade weapon, in the upgrade screen of your weapon, itll have a slot you have to fill with the weapon, when you click evolve, that's when the weapon will be used. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">What weapons/gear should I focus on?</span><br />
<br />
The beauty on this one is, you get the weapon you will be using immediately. Anything Hongmoon in front of it, is what you focus on. You will get ring/earring/weapon, which goes through the upgrade system. Focus on your weapon, earrings/ring aren't really to die for and will be replaceable at one point.<br />
<br />
As for your soul shields, really it's just getting the;<br />
<br />
Scorpion (Giant ass scorpion)<br />
Blackram (First purple raid)<br />
The fallen one (Second purple raid)<br />
Then once you get to misty woods you'll collect these things called insignia, which is at the PVP map, takes like 2 hours total, but it triples your HP, they are referred to as PVP soul shields since they are given by your faction.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><br />
What you should know before you start</span><br />

-You will not get the option to add your own sp until level 15-20(IIRC), instead those levels you learn basic skills that your class will fundementally need (see dodge and DPS skills). It also costs NOTHING to rearrange your skills, as long as you are not in a combat stance you can rearrange them at any time.<br />
<br />
<br />
-ALL.QUESTS.MATTER.<br />
<a href="https://forums.bladeandsoul.com/forums/index.php?/topic/142545-melirans-blade-and-soul-levelling-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://forums.bladeandsoul.com/forums/i...ing-guide/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
This was a fantastic resource to use, some quests can be a little confusing and this helps break it down. DOWNLOAD.IT<br />
<br />
<br />
For you to level up with a fair difficulty pace, you will need to do all the quests. The reason isn't just because of EXP, but the items it drops help upgrade your weapons.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Dailies matter. PVP ones specifically, they give you about a gold and a half just from completing them.e Other dailies should be the 4 blue raids (once your level 40 youll have access to them). They also give about 2 gold total.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Weapon skins are useable only once. You use it, then put another on top of it, the end. They are permanent as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
- CRAFTING.IS.NECESSARY. Seriously as soon as you hit jadestone (think its level 15-19) get your crafting profession. You get one 'craft' and material jobs essentially.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bladeandsouldojo.com/topic/128931-psycats-guide-on-choosing-your-sub-professions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://www.bladeandsouldojo.com/topic/12...ofessions/</a> This is important, as it takes time and is a HUGE money making thing in blade and soul. A lot of your end game crap needs these materials including double your stamina for your wall running and such.<br />
<br />
<br />
[video=youtube;FTtOklFq8BY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTtOklFq8BY[/video]<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hoard gold, seriously I can't stress this enough, most of the costumes/weapon skins are nice, but once you get to level cap, youll be able to solo those dungeons for that stuff anyway. The level 50 content isn't here yet, but it adds a huge difficulty curve and is a very expensive endeavor.<br />
<br />
<br />
-DO.NOT.SOLO.DUNGEONS/RAIDS. I know it seems to contradict the first point, but after a certain level (40) it's almost impossible and offers no extra benefit to you. Always go in groups. F11 I believe is the cross server queue which allows you to find people to run the dungeon with you. Going in with a group is faster and majority of the time allows you to do it more than once to get the materials you need<br />
<br />
<br />
-PVP doesn't care if your weapon is broken or not, so do the pvp quests whene your durability is low.<br />
<br />
<br />
- If you're an area with a low spawn and feel crowded, don't be afraid to party someone, it's mutually beneficial.<br />
<br />
<br />
- To have access to boss loot you have to have done 1% damage to boss, to get epic loot from certain exclusive bosses, 2%. If you die your damage does not reset as long as you hit the monster again before it dies or leave the map. If the monster is about to die and you are dead, wait, people will revive you and you will still be entitled to the drops.<br />
<br />
<br />
-When picking a faction I suggest blue, they were the only ones doing anything in the entire beta<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Is this the game for me?</span><br />
<br />
Blade and soul is a unique mmorpg that focus' on martial arts style of combat with a combo system that acts like fighting games. It's a game with a heavy PVP aspect, but also a rich PVE enviroment to enjoy. I'm not big on PVP myself, in fact I actively avoid it, but honestly as somoene anti-pvp it has eased me into it. It's a game that really forces you to learn your class, it's a game that rewards practice, but also makes you practice without even being aware of it<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Okay when is it coming out</span><br />
<br />
<br />
January 19th, or January 15th for Founder pack purchasers. Regarding founders pack, if you are very interested in the game, I highly suggest you get the masterspack. Although the beta is done, it saves you about 50 bucks on all the included crap like storage space, and items to affect your quality of life. It also puts you at level 5 with the premium status which gives you a whole other list of extra benefits. I highly recommend the master pack.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">What are the classes</span><br />

Oh boy oh boy. For the NA/EU release there will be Destroyer, Kung fu master, Blademaster, Blade Dancer, Assassin, Summoner, and Force master. There is a "week of the *class* that NCsoft discusses, just youtube it up and you'll get an indept explanation. Blade and soul does not have "designed" jobs for each class, there is no healer, there is no tank, some classes are better suited because of skills, but none are incapable of doing anything honestly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Destoryer: Mob destroyer and great in PVP, they are bulky, they are strong. I mean you pretty much get the idea looking at the class. Seriously, they literally stab you with their axe then twirl you around just to throw you.  <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Blademaster: Jack of all trades honestly, they shine the most if they are holding the aggro of boss monster/mobs, they focus on retaliation rather than outright DPS. Plus you summon swords, who the pineapple needs cats?<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Blade <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">dance</span>: This is currently the best class in PVP right now (level 45 cap PVP). It's also a hybrid of force master and blademaster, adding elements to their blade and being able to grab and hold opponents for massive free DPS bursts. If you like Yoda, they pretty much play the same.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Assassin: Literally the name says it all. Stealth, poison, great DPS. This is a trap setting class, it's very flashy, with every technique you would expect an assassin to have. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLOkJdH-22I" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLOkJdH-22I</a><br />

<br />
<br />
Kung FU Master: IMO the hardest class to play in the game, very short time intervals to do their combos, but they hurt, and have this "earth bender" type feel to them. You can feel the screen shake from their hits. These are the best tanks in the game, they hold aggro better than blade masters, have much more to fall back on with blocks and insane avoidability, so keep that in mine.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Summoner: Closest thing to a cleric, with insane DPS, seriously these guys are a pain in the ass in PVP. First off, you're pretty much a puppet playing character, so you have the advantage of 2v1 most of the time. You shoot laser beams out of sunflowers like pineappleing solar beam, and look pineappleing beautiful while doing it. Also instead of tentacles they have roots of a flower that hold you down while a humanoid cat makes speghetti out of your face for an ungodly amount of time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tldr; pineapple summoners<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Forcemaster: Let me put this in perspective for you, a blademaster tanking, is probably going to do about 450k damage in the course of a boss fight, a forcemaster? Closer to a mil. They are INSANE dps. These arent your pomegranatety mages that stand and incite some pineappleing tablet from egypt pomegranate. These guys FLY around like pineappleing F16s with machine guns made of ice and fire. Granted you are squishy, obviously, but you wanna talk about glass cannon, more like glass deathstar.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">CUBES?!</span><br />
<br />
There is 100% no gambling aspect to the game, the only version that does is the Chinese version. Costumes add no stats at all, thely are purely aesthetic. The only thing that affects your stats are mainly your weapon, and soul shields. Soul shields are an 8 piece set of a pie like object that you can mix, match or upgrade to what you want your character to have. There is no method in cash shop that has any relevance to these shields or the items that lead to damage. There are "gem socket crystals", that add critial, hp, and things to your weapon. However they are incredibly weak, and untradeable. The "attack gem" only adding 7 attack to your weapon.<br />
<br />
<br />
I will continue on this point later in what you should be doing as you go through the game<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Pay to play?</span><br />
<br />
It is a free to play game, with an optional subscription (which price hasn't been released yet but people are assuming are 15ish bucks a month. The premium membership gives you quality of life benefits, discounts, faster crafting times, less wait time on quick travel (normally like 60 seconds iirc) and discounts on upgrading and such. It's a 10 tier system that will cost you nearly 800 bucks to get to level 10. Before you frown at me, this is accumulated overtime, and it isn't based specifically on how much you purchase.<br />
<br />
<br />
-First and foremost, your rank never goes down, you could spend 800 bucks in a month and immediately get rank 10, and never pay for the subscription status for a year, and you will still have that perk as soon as you renew the subscription.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Spending gold in game, and hongmoon coins also go towards this premium status. Hongmoon coins are 'tokens' you get from events, boxes, and some quests, which essentially cost 10 silver and give you a range of an amount based on what token it is. By spending and even acquiring these coins you get points towards your premium level. I've heard people get to level 6-7 just off these features alone.<br />
<br />
<br />
Costumes do not expire, are purchaseable using hongmoon coins (which honestly is legit way to get 'ncsoft credit' using in game gold in a legitimate fashion), but costumes are expensive as f`uck, like 20 bucks for the higher end ones. However a lot of costumes are droppable/boss exclusive. I would say out of the 200 costumes, 50 are cash shop exclusive (including pets). These are the methods that NCsoft will primarely be making money.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">So uh, what IS the RNG stuff?</span><br />
<br />
Weapon upgrades. Not what you're thinking though. There is no failure rate on weapons, there is a minimum to maximum threshold, but again, not the RNG sh`it you think. Each weapon goes from level 1-6, then you have to upgrade it, then 6-10 where then you have to upgrade it again. You will be given a survey type of quest for meeting level thresholds, that give you experience gems "Lucky gems", which greatly gains you experience regarding your weapon.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do.not.use.them. Seriously, most weapons at your 'stage' will do you fine up until inferal weapons (level 35-38). Once you get to level 45, itll get very difficult if you don't save those gems. Save your field repair hammers too, use regular hammers as much as possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now finally for the RNG, from 1-6, an open world boss will drop 'essense' for you to use at a roulette, which will drop a weapon box that allows you to evolve your weapon from 6-10. The trouble is when you open that box, you have a chance of any weapon from any class, although they are tradeable, so you could find someone with your weapon to trade with, if you're trying to be quick, it's better to buy the key in cash shop. The keys in cash shop save you wasting keys in game to open chests, hongmoon keys are given mainly through quests, and can get frustrating as one unlucky streak can make you have to wait for the dailes the next day. IMO you're better off just buying the "Brilliant" key in cash shop to accelerate the process. Manageable either way though.<br />
<br />
<br />
For level 6-10 weapons, its a raid boss you have to defeat, which also drops a weapon box with the same effect as above, but the boss also has a chance of dropping the weapon outside of the box too, catch is that weapon upgrade isn't tradeable.<br />
<br />
<br />
*NOTE* DO not feed the upgrade weapon, in the upgrade screen of your weapon, itll have a slot you have to fill with the weapon, when you click evolve, that's when the weapon will be used. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">What weapons/gear should I focus on?</span><br />
<br />
The beauty on this one is, you get the weapon you will be using immediately. Anything Hongmoon in front of it, is what you focus on. You will get ring/earring/weapon, which goes through the upgrade system. Focus on your weapon, earrings/ring aren't really to die for and will be replaceable at one point.<br />
<br />
As for your soul shields, really it's just getting the;<br />
<br />
Scorpion (Giant ass scorpion)<br />
Blackram (First purple raid)<br />
The fallen one (Second purple raid)<br />
Then once you get to misty woods you'll collect these things called insignia, which is at the PVP map, takes like 2 hours total, but it triples your HP, they are referred to as PVP soul shields since they are given by your faction.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><br />
What you should know before you start</span><br />
<div class="spoiler" style="margin: 5px 0; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #ccc; background: #f9f9f9;">

-You will not get the option to add your own sp until level 15-20(IIRC), instead those levels you learn basic skills that your class will fundementally need (see dodge and DPS skills). It also costs NOTHING to rearrange your skills, as long as you are not in a combat stance you can rearrange them at any time.<br />
<br />
<br />
-ALL.QUESTS.MATTER.<br />
<a href="https://forums.bladeandsoul.com/forums/index.php?/topic/142545-melirans-blade-and-soul-levelling-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://forums.bladeandsoul.com/forums/i...ing-guide/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
This was a fantastic resource to use, some quests can be a little confusing and this helps break it down. DOWNLOAD.IT<br />
<br />
<br />
For you to level up with a fair difficulty pace, you will need to do all the quests. The reason isn't just because of EXP, but the items it drops help upgrade your weapons.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Dailies matter. PVP ones specifically, they give you about a gold and a half just from completing them.e Other dailies should be the 4 blue raids (once your level 40 youll have access to them). They also give about 2 gold total.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Weapon skins are useable only once. You use it, then put another on top of it, the end. They are permanent as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
- CRAFTING.IS.NECESSARY. Seriously as soon as you hit jadestone (think its level 15-19) get your crafting profession. You get one 'craft' and material jobs essentially.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bladeandsouldojo.com/topic/128931-psycats-guide-on-choosing-your-sub-professions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://www.bladeandsouldojo.com/topic/12...ofessions/</a> This is important, as it takes time and is a HUGE money making thing in blade and soul. A lot of your end game crap needs these materials including double your stamina for your wall running and such.<br />
<br />
<br />
[video=youtube;FTtOklFq8BY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTtOklFq8BY[/video]<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hoard gold, seriously I can't stress this enough, most of the costumes/weapon skins are nice, but once you get to level cap, youll be able to solo those dungeons for that stuff anyway. The level 50 content isn't here yet, but it adds a huge difficulty curve and is a very expensive endeavor.<br />
<br />
<br />
-DO.NOT.SOLO.DUNGEONS/RAIDS. I know it seems to contradict the first point, but after a certain level (40) it's almost impossible and offers no extra benefit to you. Always go in groups. F11 I believe is the cross server queue which allows you to find people to run the dungeon with you. Going in with a group is faster and majority of the time allows you to do it more than once to get the materials you need<br />
<br />
<br />
-PVP doesn't care if your weapon is broken or not, so do the pvp quests whene your durability is low.<br />
<br />
<br />
- If you're an area with a low spawn and feel crowded, don't be afraid to party someone, it's mutually beneficial.<br />
<br />
<br />
- To have access to boss loot you have to have done 1% damage to boss, to get epic loot from certain exclusive bosses, 2%. If you die your damage does not reset as long as you hit the monster again before it dies or leave the map. If the monster is about to die and you are dead, wait, people will revive you and you will still be entitled to the drops.<br />
<br />
<br />
-When picking a faction I suggest blue, they were the only ones doing anything in the entire beta<br />

I've made a Force Master, Sword Master and Kung Fu Master. So far, Force Master is my favorite.<br />
