1. not sure myself how it works for different races.
2. after reset, you get all progression for all ranks up to the rank you were at before. So if you were rF prod mastery and r4 refining, you can do your r4 refine fails, then rank prod mastery to r1, do your successes and derank everything at r3 refining again, so you can do your fails. Just beware, you lose any xp progression to the next rank.
3. Yes, usually ppl get ores through metallurgy, and rank refine. after your first RB, you can choose a destiny (no destiny for lifeskills, remb that) that gives double xp to the combat skills of whatever destiny you choose. If you want to rank refine/WM at the start, i recommend ranking refine in the first 2 weeks, and WM after choosing warrior destiny.
4. do all thin/thick thread requirements, and leather strap requirements... besides that i heard its good to do the silks after? i'm not a weaver, just going by hearsay.
5. pretty sure they can, although i recommend focussing on g9-12 instead for demigod, brionac etc. Sidenote: g1-3 can be skipped, you get the transes, no titles/enchant scrolls though.
second sidenote: our version doesnt give AP for g1
6. PvP between G and E is off by default im pretty sure, if not, you can turn it off in options.
7. yes, but you do lose progression to next rank
8. if good ping and high ranged, i believe that fast shooting bows that have high crit are pretty good, although i dont know how it is later on when you start crashshotting/magnum spamming. Best bow IG right now is wingbow ego, and HLBs i think as normal bows. we can also ego HLB on this server even though we are g13 files. Beginners usually go for ego ringbow though since it is an easy solid choice.
9. personally i don't think counter is really needed when you have windmill r1, but opinions may vary. combat mastery might become a bit usefull for HP and to activate certain enchants (for example hard peaca 6 min dmg bonus).
10. golems actually have a pretty good curve in terms of powerspike, they become very strong very quickly due to their OP windmill power, but fall off later on since they dont scale with anything (no enchants, no stats etc.). even keeping the no scaling in mind, i haven't seen many people so far that i'd consider stronger than an alchemist his snow golem that has r1 golem, r1 clay alchemy and r1 alchemy mastery.
If you do decide to go archery first then yes, most likely golem on backburner
11. not sure, not a tech guy myself.
