 *[[Fairy Auction Gears|Red/Blue Pixie Wings]]: Red Pixie Wings gives +30 Atk, while Blue Pixie Wings give +8% Matk. If you got some extra money, you can also try to win a Drooping Pixie at the auction as well. The hat has a decent combo with the wings. These can be obtained via quests in Faeheim.
-*[[Hemerald's Elemental Wings|Elemental Wings]]: These are pretty cool. They give you an elemental armor effect, +2 to all stats, enable use of a lvl 3 bolt, and access to a special color palette. This is an easy way to get an elemental armor for all classes without access to the armor cards.

 *[[Flower Wings]]: These have a high base defense, and even give a +20 Mdef bonus. They are refinable, and can be crafted as often as desired with the NPC. One of the better tank gears you can access, and the item list is far from the longest or the worst to collect as a newbie.
 *[[Bee Wings]]: The item list for this quest is huge, but you gain access to an equipment that lets you farm all kinds of items. Some of these include Stems, Immortal Hearts, Cobwebs and more. Even if you need none of the items from the list you can equip the wings and vend whatever drops from them.

-Now that you're starting to settle into the server, it's time to consider joining the Light or Dark Allegiance. The benefits of joining an allegiance are many. These include: access to custom quests, participate in Trial of Heroes, and access to allegiance palettes.<br>
+Now that you're starting to settle into the server, it's time to consider joining the Light or Dark Allegiance. The benefits of joining an allegiance are many. These include: access to custom quests and participation in Trial of Heroes.<br>
 I have no plans to delve too deeply into this topic. One could write a whole guide about the allegiance system alone. So instead, this section will focus on three things that have the most immediate benefit for a newbie. Detailed below is how to join an allegiance, and then details for two repeatable quests.

 ===[[Job Changer|Job Manager]]===
-There is a Job Manager on the server whom can be found in Prontera’s center square. It is recommended as a newbie to do the first job change quest. For the effort, you receive Zeny and equipment rewards. For your first class change you’ll receive 10,000 Zeny and an accessory (based on your class). For the second, you’ll receive 100,000 Zeny and either a Teacup or Tea Kettle custom headgear. If you choose to do your job change quest, make sure to speak with the Manager afterwards to receive your rewards! <br>

-To reach this location head to the Alberta docks and find the Cat NPC. The NPC will ferry you over to the island for 5,000 Zeny. This place has some of the best loot you can pick up and sell so early in your leveling journey. Only problem is that there is such a huge skew to Job Experience that you may wind up very low level upon reaching Job 50. You will want to balance out your levels elsewhere. Farming Nekoring for Base experience won’t cut it forever.

 Now that you’re out of the Training Grounds, you may want to do your job change quest. but if you are not in the correct town you may want to walk around to find a Warper. When you first speak with the Warper NPC, you’ll notice some towns are unlocked for free. These are as follows: Prontera, Alberta, Geffen, Izlude, Morroc, and Payon. To gain access to a location on a character, you must speak to the Warper’s Sister to unlock it. Towns cost you nothing to unlock, while Dungeons can range from about 2,500 – 50,000 Zeny to unlock. Some locations cannot be immediately accessed. You must first complete the respective unlock quest, OR choose to unlock the warp as a reward for completing the "Army Supply" custom quest. You can learn more about this feature under the "Taking Sides" section.
