Can be used to purchased Housing items, Hoverboard & Mount flare, Raidin’ Costume, Runecrafting bags, Dye bags, Inventory bags, Action Bar Unlocks, AMP Power Upgrade, and Ability Tier Points.

OmniBits – Currency earned through normal loot drops in the World with a Weekly Cap. Used for purchasing items through the In-Game Store. Signature Accounts do earn more and few items cannot be bought with them such as Bundles.

Service Token – “Make Game Life Easier” Currency. They can be purchased through the In-Game Store with Protobucks & OmniBits and used for services like Holo-Wardrobe, Re-Customize Character Appearance, Wake-Here, and Rune Modification. Rune Modification is top use for this currency.

Fortune Coin – Madame Fay’s “Slot Machine” currency. Can only be purchased through the In-Game Store with Protobucks only and use is to gamble for three chance items. Can earn Service Tokens, Dyes, Costumes, Housing items, Runecrafting, Crafting bags, Companion pets, and Mounts. There is a bar so when you use enough coins to fill it that will give you a rare item.
Currency Items
Lockbox Key – Opens Lockboxes by completing Veteran Instances, finding Discoveries in the World and killing World Bosses. Lockbox Keys can purchased through the In-Game Store and gives random items such as Housing items, Costumes, Companion pets, and Mounts.

Progenitor Access Particle (PAP) – Used summon World Bosses, takes 75 to spawn the Boss. PAPs are earned by completing Contracts and can drop from Group-level mobs near where the World Boss is located. World Boss kills drop a Cache that can give Gold, Companion pets, and Housing items.

Soulfrost – A specific Currency for Arcterra by killing tougher mobs, doing quests, challenges, events, and killing 20-man bosses. Soulfrost can be used buy Gear, Housing items, and Runecrafting.
Item Quality
Inferior (Gray) – Trash, sell it. You can enable auto-vendoring junk items in the vendor UI.

Average (White) – A lot of Costumes are Average-quality along with Consumables and Housing items. If it’s a Gear item it is only good for Costume, sell it.

Good (Green) – The most common quality you will see and have while leveling. Look at its Stats and use it if you can. Otherwise salvage or sell it.

Excellent (Blue) – Decent gear quality, when a lowbie you won’t have much but see it more when at near Level cap. Some Excellent-quality items are from Crafting Tradeskills but will also see drop from Expeditions and Adventures. Use it if it is good for you, salvage or sell if not.

Superb (Purple) – Quality you want when as a fresh Level-cap and likely will rarely have as lowbie for drops. This is also the quality level you will see drop from Vet Dungeon Bosses. However Crafting Tradeskills can make this quality of gear. Use it if you can, salvage if not.

Legendary (Orange) – This quality drops in Raids and final PVP Tier you can get. You will always want to Rune them when you get an item and good chance to need to do Rune Modification on so be sure to have a good amount of Plat and Service Tokens to use. If its an item you can’t use salvage it.

Artifact (Pink) – Extremely rare quality to see because it is the 1% of the 1%. If you get one you will be the envy of others.
Mobs
Elite Champion – A tougher mob compared to the average one in a zone and known as “Rares.” They can be soloed, drops a decent amount of Gold and chance to drop Excellent-quality gear and housing decor.

Legendary Champion – A very difficult Rare. These require a Group to do and their level of power scales to the level of the player. Drops random assortment of Gear and Housing items, decent amount of Gold and Achievement for killing.

Prime – A difficult mob with Interrupt Armor. Not easy to solo and better to be taken on by at least two people.

Champion/Superior Prime – A Group-Level mob meaning needing a 5-man group to bring down. Most of these types will be in Group-questing areas for Level-cap, near World Bosses, Dungeons and Raids. Superior Primes are stronger and may have more Interrupt Armor.

World Boss – A Full Raid Group Boss, meaning having 20 players to take down this boss. In the World, will need PAPs to summon but sometimes there are free-spawns roaming around.
Social

Signature Players can create, join, and invite into a Guild and Free Players can join.

Arena Team – A PVP Group with a tab on the Content Finder Window under Arenas. There’s 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 matches but Arena teams can have more people on their Team but limited based on what type. 2v2 Teams can have 3 members, 3v3 teams have 5 members and 5v5 can have 9 members in total (not all in the same match of course).

Also to note, while it is spending real money, during E3 there is a Humble Bundle going where you do get the Junkyard Hoverboard, Flask of Advancement and a pet for the E3 Digital Ticket, this is a Pay What You Want promotion so its $1 at the least and it goes to charity! It is a very limited time by the time I posted this there's 7 hours left on it. I will delete this post when its gone.

Yes! A free mount anyone can get is with signing up for 2-step Verifcation. This gives you a Retroblade Mount and a 5% XP boost. There's no cost, just a thank for keeping your account secure. You can also purchase a mount at anytime (level 6+) with gold as long as you have 10g to spend. The other means is via OmniBits, collect enough and you can get one off of the In-Game Store though this method takes a while.

Thanks for the input! I put details about the chat channels in the Beginner's Guide. As for World Bosses I will be making a separate guide for it as I'll want to note the mechanics of each them.

Might wanna add the world boss names and their abbreviations too.

Btw add in your guides somewhere, to join LFG or Global channels. As noone of them would even know about that and think that global is silent because there are no players.
