Anyway, this guide isn't a full, in-depth, quality "How to play" guide. If you want something with pretty pictures and flowery language, try Karyuu's brilliant "Getting Started" Guide. This is more of a collection of some tricks and tips that a newbie should know if he wants to survive in this world. I'm assuming you've read other guides, and know how to play to a certain degree. And now you want to know how to get an edge.
