Subject: SUBSCRIPTION - GUIDE

*** WHAT DOES SUBSCRIPTION SERVE FOR?

Well, it serves for accessing new aspects of the game and therefore enjoying the game even more (if you are able to afford it, that is).

*** DIFFERENT TYPES OF SUBSCRIPTIONS AND WAYS OF ACCESSING THEM

If you hadn't noticed this before, then let me explain: There are 2 kinds of subscriptions!

# (REGULAR) SUBSCRIPTION - WAYS OF GETTING IT

There are several ways of becoming regular subscriber:

01. TO PAY WITH REAL MONEY[/yellow

01. Go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it). Then go to [Subscription Office] (it's in the City Centre, alongside with Clan Centre, etc.). You will find many option in there...

02. Go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it). Then go to [Stone Hut] (it's in the Shopping district, where all the shops you buy your equipment at are placed). You will find several options of paying with real $ here too...

03. Go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it). Then go to [Gift Subscription] (it's in the Business Zone, where Polling Station, Updates, The Eroynia Daily, Help, Referral Shop and Referral Help are). You can use this option to buy subscription for someone else!!!

02. TO PAY WITH IN-GAME GOLD[/yellow

01. Go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it). Then go to [Southgate] (it's in the Mountains, where you can also find The Mines, among many other things). You will see two options for becoming a subscriber here:
A) use the Wounded Star for 10 days subscription.
B) use the Guardian of Grandia for 30 days subscription.

NOTE[/i This option is currently locked, but it doesn't mean it'll still be locked by the time you read this post (...I hope...).

03. TO PAY WITH IN-GAME SAPPHIRES[/yellow

01. Go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it). Then go to [Shadow Castle] (it's in the Mountains, where you can also find The Mines, among many other things). You will find this option there: Claim a years subscription. It will cost you 100 sapphires to get a subscription this way...

# ULTRA SUBSCRIPTION - WAYS OF GETTING IT

There are several ways of becoming ultra subscriber:

TO PAY WITH REAL MONEY[/u

01. Go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it). Then go to [Subscription Office] (it's in the City Centre, alongside with Clan Centre, etc.). You will find many option in there... Just pick the option for ultra subscription...

02. Go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it). Then go to [Stone Hut] (it's in the Shopping district, where all the shops you buy your equipment at are placed). You will find several options of paying with real $ here too... Just pick the option for ultra subscription...

03. Go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it).

Note No01: you can buy ultra subscription only with real money!!!

Note No02: Even if you do buy ultra subscription, that doesn't mean you'll be able to access all the regular subscribers' features until you buy regular subscription!!!

*** (REGULAR) SUBSCRIPTION[/pink

Once you buy subscription (regular one), you'll be able to access all these new features: improved profile page, jousting, chat quiz, daily wage, daily Helix, etc.

Actually, here are several ways of accessing these options (the list of features are sorted under the place they are at):

01. SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS

Go to Westland. Now look at the bottom of the page. You should find [See Details] [Subscription options] [Top Referrals] [Redeem Voucher]. The option you were looking for is [Subscription options]. Once you enter it, many options will appear. Options you can only access as a subscriber (please keep that in mind):

- Local Exchange - Here you can exchange platinum for gold. This means you'll be selling platinums, not buying them!
Note[/i Currently the exchange price is 250 gold to the platinum sheet. Honest advice: don't use this feature unless you are really that desperate.

- Energy Shack - Here you can get your energy recharged in exchange for platinums. The amount of platinums needed is equal to your level.

- Great Waterfall - When you enter, you'll see another option open (for washing in the waterfall). If you try clicking on it, it will return you to perfect shape. This means your health will be restored!

- Collect Daily Wage - When you enter here, you'll have 2 options:
A) Collect Wage - Here you can collect your wage. You can pick whether to have it put in your hand (which is a bit risky, 'cause you might get attacked by other players) or to have it put in your bank, after the transaction is complete. Please note that the amount of gold increases with your level and it is equal 6 x (your level)!
You can collect your wage twice a day (on every reset)!
B) Transaction List - Once you collected your daily wage, here is where it ends up first. All of your transactions will be shown in the list, waiting for you to accept and finish them. If you reject them, though, they will go to your savings (at the bottom of that page). Once you think you have collected enough, you can take all your saving with you.

- Custom Image - This is one of the most interesting features to those who payed for subscription. It allows you to add picture to your profile page. It will appear instead of your warrior picture.
Please note that this is not the same as the picture you have in your Interactions (which you can assess from Account options).
Now for the steps for uploading it...First you have to Browse Image, but just keep in mind that you'll be browsing for it from your own computer, and not from some site! There is no need for links here! Also, your picture has to be equal or smaller than 300x300 size.
When you pick the picture that is most suitable for you, click on Upload.
Also, here you can remove image (from the link below).
Important: Don't forget to click on the link that will show up after the upload has finished -> [Add This As Your Custom Character Image]. If you don't do this, the picture you uploaded won't show up as your profile picture.

- Custom Midi - Another one of those ''classy'' features... Although, this one is a little more complicated than uploading the picture. This feature, by the way, allows you to add music to your profile page.
But, there is a catch: you'll have to have a link for the music you want to upload, and that music has to be MIDI (not mp3!).
After you found yourself a suitable link, copy/paste it into the text box and click on the Upload button.
Also, if you do not like the music in your profile page, you can always delete by clicking on the the Remove MIDI button.

- Game Schemes - Tired of the way DW looks? Tired of this black color? Want to make it more cheerful (or more depressive, lols) ? This is the place to be then. Here you can change the way DW looks... Try it yourself

- Journal - Here you can type anything you want! Just be aware - you can access and edit your journal only if you are a subscriber!

02. JOUSTING BARRACKS

- You can find this feature in Westland (check upper left corner or Westland, where Wargrounds are located).
Unfortunately, I won't write anything about this. You'll have to search for the guides in your clan's pages or in Game Help forums, even though there is a small warning: players usually keep their strategies to themselves...
There is an award here: 100 Sapphires to the who wins the first place at the end of the month...

03. CHAT QUIZ

- You can find it among other chats, right under the Trading Chat. Here you can answer questions in order to try to get an award -> 100 Sapphires to the who wins the first place at the end of the month. And you win the first place by getting the highest number of points (and you gain points by answering the questions correctly and answering them first! being second doesn't count here!). Just type in your answer, the way you usually chat, only do it in lower case (do not use CAPS LOCK!)
If you click on the ''View Top List'', you'll be able to see current top 10 places.

04. SUBSCRIBER DISCUSSION

- This is a forum made especially for subscribers and ultra subscribers!
You can already expect what to find here...

05. ACCOUNT OPTIONS

- In your Account options (at the top of this screen), you can now Turn ON/OFF adverts those annoying adverts that appear everywhere when you're not a subscriber...

06. ENERGY REVIVES

- As a subscriber your energy will be replenish every half hour! That means more fun for sure

07. CLANS

- If you subscribe to the game, you will also be able to create your own clan.
Just go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it). Then go to [Clan Centre] (it's in the City Centre). You will find an option for making a new clan there... But first you'll have to leave the clan you are in. Also, besides subscription, you need 5.0000 Gold and 5.000 Platinums to make a clan.

08. CHAT CODES

- The first time you walk into chat as a subscriber, you will see new codes added under regular emoticons, in pretty bubbles. Also, code [english] will be available (this code isn't among the listed ones), and it will show little grumpy emoticon with sign ''English only'' in his hands.

09. NEW COLOR

- You will get a red icon on your profile page, under your character's picture, just to show that you are subscriber to the game.
Also, when you enter chat or post something in Game Forums, your name will have different color. You won't be white anymore .
Please note that, in Forums, your name will only be different color in the part that shows last posts, if you posted last, that is.

10. SPECTRA

- As a subscriber you will be able to see who left you spectra votes, and which spectra did this person leave!!!
This is available for subscribers only!

IMPORTANT: As a subscriber you get 1 Helix a day!!!

*** ULTRA SUBSCRIPTION[/pink

Once you buy ultra subscription, you'll be able to access all these new features: auto-healing, jousting, chat quiz, daily Sapphire, etc.

Actually, here are several ways of accessing these options (the list of features are sorted under the place they are at):

01. AUTO-HEALING

- With this feature, you won't have the need to visit Wizard Ruben anymore, as your health will be replenished after every battle! Although, you'll have to turn it on to get free healing. Just go to Account, and search for auto-healing under battle options.

02. TRAINING FACILITY

- Go to Westland (check the tabs on your left, you'll find it). Then go to [Training Facility] (it's in the Wargrounds).
Yes, sure, I know you know where this is, but did you know that as an ultra you have more training turns?! 20 of them, instead of regular 15 !!!

03. SPY ATTEMPTS

- No-one will be able to spy on you anymore!!!

04. DARK FOREST

- You will be able to go to Dark Forest and don't get attacked by scavengers!!!

05. DARK FOREST

- You can get an increase of your stats (strength, defense, agility or wisdom) in Dark Forest. One stat is boosted at the time and this is as rare as the +1 max energy. This usually occurs when you face the scavengers...

06. NEW COLOR

- You will get a green icon on your profile page, under your character's picture, just to show that you are ultra subscriber.
Also, when you enter chat or post something in Game Forums, your name will have different color (it will be green).
Please note that, in Forums, your name will only be green in the part that shows last posts, if you posted last, that is.

IMPORTANT: As an ultra subscriber you get 1 Sapphire a day, Helix every reset (and since there are 2 resets a day, this means you'll be getting 2 Helix a day) and 2 Platinums every reset too (4 Platinums a day, to be precise) !!!

Note: even if you buy ultra subscription, you won't be able to access all the features regular subscribers have access to until you buy regular subscription!!! That means: no profile page picture nor music, no daily Helix, etc. etc.
