There are four stats in the game: STR, DEX, INT, and AGI. You earn stat points as you level up, and allocating them wisely is key to character strength.

STR: Increases Attack, Accuracy, and Health.
DEX: Increases Defense, Evasion, and Health.
INT: Increases Attack, Accuracy, and Critical Rate.
AGI: Increases Run Speed, Evasion, and Immunity.
Recommended Starting Tips: STR is the best starting stat as it provides survivability and damage. After maximizing STR, consider:

DEX for tank builds
INT for damage builds
AGI for speed/immunity builds
Maximum stat point for each stat: 363

Recommended Stat Builds:

Warrior: STR / DEX
Samurai: STR / AGI / DEX
Archer: STR / INT / DEX
Ranger: STR / INT / AGI
Wizard: STR / INT
Witch: STR / INT
You may experiment with your own custom builds. To reset stats, purchase a Stat Reset Book from the AC Shop or from Premium Trader Elaine in Honam Kingdom. You also receive one free reset book at level 30.

Each level grants 1 skill point. Unlock every skill at least once early on. Once a skill reaches level 5, it enters Perfect Mode and reaches its full potential.

Key Skills to Maximize:

Warrior: Air Cut, Dragon Shot, Emperor Slash, Bleeding Wound, Dividing Sky
Samurai: Swift Move, Fast Cut, Triple Strike, Hyper Shuriken, Lightning Fast
Archer: Arrow Rain, Red Sky Arrow, Eternal Beam, Ying Yang, Divine Sky Arrow
Ranger: Cannon Shot, Explosive Shot, Long Shot, Shock Bomb, Ultimate Gun Blast
Wizard: Lightning Bolt, Explosion, Paranoia, Cursed Ritual, Holy Beam
Witch: Water Spell, Tornado, Sky Pulse, Witch Ritual, Ice Storm
The last skill listed for each class is their ultimate ability. Unlock it at level 50 using an Antique Book Chest from level 50–75 monsters or the marketplace.

These are the skills recommended to be maxed out first. You can make changes based on your own playstyle. Don’t forget — as your level increases, all your skills will eventually reach MAX level.

There are four types of quests in the game:

Main Quests: Follow the main storyline. Leveling up can unlock the next part.
Side Quests: One-time, high-reward quests helpful for leveling and preparation.
Daily Quests: Refresh every day. Optional, but speeds up progress.
Hidden Quests: Not shown on the map. Found randomly with great rewards.
The pink ghost Yummy helps guide you. Click the white circle on a quest to follow it.

Talk to NPCs and select "Quest" to accept tasks. Accepted ones appear in your quest window. Use the map to locate unaccepted quests and Yummy to guide you.

Some maps contain hidden quests that offer rare rewards!

Item types in Aero Tales Online include:

Normal Items
Master Items
SSR Items
SSR Master Items
Normal and SSR items drop from monsters, while Master items drop from Raid Bosses. SSR items can only be upgraded to SSR Master through crafting.

Not all items can become Master — only items labeled with "Craftable!" can be crafted into Master items.

Raids occur on specific days of the week and are typically done with clans. You can also join raid parties without a clan.

If an item says Craftable!, collecting three of them allows crafting a Master version at the Blacksmith. Failure destroys all three items.

Recommended Gear Progression:

(Not Necessary) Lv. 30: Join Hulma Raid if available, especially with a clan.
Lv. 55-: Use monster/NPC gear and upgrade to +3~+4 safely.
Lv. 55+: Start farming Hulma and Azure Sky Dragon raids.
Lv. 75+: Switch to Dark Drake weapon; use Azure set till 85.
Lv. 75–90: Equip Red Clan Desert armor and shoes.
Lv. 90+: Begin collecting Celestial items.
Tip: Visit the marketplace often to buy raid gear from others.

Until level 55, follow main quests → side quests → daily quests. If stuck, upgrade gear, boost defense stats, and do low-level quests.

After level 55, grind begins. Party with players ±30 levels or use Party Finder. Grouping grants EXP bonuses.

Do daily quests and grind in Highlands. Upgrade gear to +4 or +5.

Participate in events, fish, spin the Lucky Wheel for XP boosts, and use inventory boosts. Avoid monster deaths post-level 70 to prevent EXP loss.

Unlocked when you completed all the job quests at around level 25.

to increase job levels:

Adventurer: From sudden war and raid participation
Farmer: From harvesting crops
Producer: From crafting items
Blacksmith: From upgrading gear
Fisher: From fishing
Merchant: From running a shop
Chef: From cooking food
Miner: From mining ores
Hunter: From killing bosses

The blacksmith lets you upgrade, craft, combine, extract, and repair your gear.

Upgrade
Use gold or materials to upgrade your gear with a chance of failure. Up to +8, failed upgrades break but don’t destroy gear. After +8, use Anti-Material Ore to avoid breakage. Suggested early-level upgrade strategy:

Obtain 3 copies of the same item.
Upgrade all to +3, then attempt +4 and +5 on extras while saving one.
Craft
Most powerful gear comes from crafting using raid or quest items. Use Artisan Hammer (AC Shop) or trade markets to increase success chances.

Combine
Combine enhancement stones with your gear:

Astral & Eclipse: For weapons & weapon costumes
Demilune & Yakamoz: For armor, accessories & outfits
Combination is always 100% successful. Use extraction to remove stones later.

Extract
Use Exeraser to remove and destroy a stone. Use Exeraser Pro to remove and keep the stone. Available via events or AC Shop.

Repair
Broken gear gives negative effects. To repair, fish and collect 60 bones. Use 20 of each type to craft 20 Fish Gems at the blacksmith. Exchange them for a Repair Tool at the fisherman.

Crafting a Repair Tool is a troublesome task, so instead of repairing items other than raid gear, it's usually easier to just find a new one. Don't bother repairing items below level 55 at all.

In Aero Tales Online, an event starts every 2 hours, and on special days, exclusive events may occur.

You can check the time remaining for the next event in the top right corner. 5 minutes before the event begins, you’ll receive a mailbox notification that lets you join.

Sudden War: Waves of monsters attack you. Fight together with other players against the incoming waves.
Room Escape: Dozens of trap-filled rooms look alike, but only one leads to the boss room. Find the correct one, wait for the boss to spawn, and defeat it for rare rewards.
Pet Racing: If you have a pet equipped, you’ll be teleported to the race. The first to overcome traps and finish wins.
Dark Zone: Every day, this PvP zone opens for level 80+ players. Hero and Villain races clash here, and rare items can be obtained.
Fortress War: A weekly clan-based war. The clan that holds the castle at the end gets the castle house for a week and various bonuses.
Raid: Open on specific days of the week. Enter with your clan and face powerful bosses with higher rare drop chances than normal dungeons.
You can check the event calendar for days and times. Some events are held by GMs on special days and offer great rewards.

Also, a +100% EXP event starts every Sunday.

Dungeons offer boss fights and reward cards for rare gear. Difficulty unlocks at level 50:

Normal: Recommended for solo play.
Hard: Tougher enemies with better rewards.
Abyss: The hardest mode with top-tier loot.
Dungeons are private. You won’t see other players unless you invite them. Party members receive an invitation by mail and can join your dungeon session. Hard and Abyss are best with large teams.

While in a party, monster kill quests are shared and the experience points you receive are increased based on the number of members in your group. Parties can have up to 5 players, but a player who is more than 30 levels higher or lower than you cannot join your party.

As long as you stay within range of your group, all party members will share EXP from monster kills. When the party is full, you gain the maximum EXP bonus. If you are married to a party member, a heart effect appears and you gain an additional EXP bonus.

You can fish by the beach in Honam Kingdom after reaching level 20. Buy a rod and bait from the Fishing NPC. Any bait can catch any fish, but expensive bait increases your chance of catching rare ones.

Equip your rod, use your bait once, and go near the sea to see a fishing icon. Press it, wait, and a mini-game will start. A bar moves left and right — press PULL when it passes through the colored rectangle. Repeat during each return to catch a fish.

Bar speed and size vary by fish difficulty. You can open or sell your caught fish. Rare catches include: Shining Golden Crab, Golden Pufferfish, Eternal Octopus, Antique Starlight Clam.

Teleport to your house from the House Manager NPC in towns. Next to your house is a field. Buy seeds from Farmer Sophia. Activate 'Edit Mode' from the top-left, then click any seed slot in your field and plant the seeds.

Each seed shows its time to grow. You may log off, but return before they rot (rot time is ~half the grow time). Rotten seeds can’t be harvested or used for job progression. Grown crops provide temporary buffs.

Invite friends to your house via the house icon on your friends list. Decorate it using the House Store Max NPC. Larger houses and fields are available in the AC Shop and also expand your storage.

At level 50, you can queue for arena matches. Stats and items are balanced, so players of all levels can compete fairly — class skills remain unbalanced. Winning increases your ELO and rank; losing decreases them. The highest rank is Aero King.

Top ranked players receive monthly rewards.

Joining: Open the Guild window and go to the Find Guild tab. Apply to public guilds or ask in World Chat. Below level 60, it may be harder to find one.

Creating: After level 30, go to Guild Manager in Honam Kingdom with 10,000,000 gold. Name must be at least 4 characters. You start at level 1 with limited members. Activity increases guild level. Winning Fortress War gives a huge guild EXP boost.

You can assign roles, add guild icons, and declare war. Buy a red flag from the Guild Manager to declare war; it lasts a few days unless a white flag is used to end it. Use a blue flag to protect your guild from incoming wars.

Guilds allow easier raid access and team support. Use /guildannouncement message to send announcements.

Click on a player and press 'Add' to send a friend request. Friends appear in your list and notify you when online. You can party or message them easily.

To marry, purchase a Marriage Box from the AC Shop. Only male-female couples can marry. Married partners appear with a special color in the friend list and can teleport to each other using a heart icon. Being in a party together grants heart effects and bonus EXP.

# for World Chat: #Hello
@ for Party Chat: @Let's go!

/ignore nickname to block players

At character creation, you choose a faction. At level 80, factions fight in the Dark Zone. Use a faction change scroll from Premium Trader Elaine NPC, but only if the target side isn’t already dominant.

If your inventory is full, visit the Banker NPC in town to store excess items.

To unlock locked inventory slots, use an Inventory Expanding Bag from the AC Shop. This item can also be obtained from quests, events, or the player market.
To expand your personal storage, purchase a house from the AC Shop or player market.

Between levels 20–30, you will receive sky-themed quests. After receiving your flight license and teleporting to the flight map, equip your wings and double-press the jump key to enter flight mode.

You must avoid damage for a short time to initiate flight. Flight speed depends on your wing stats. Wings can be upgraded at the Blacksmith — they won't break but may downgrade on failure. With each upgrade, wings grow in size and speed.

AC Shop wings are faster but can also be acquired via quests, trades, or from Premium Trader Elaine. The fastest wings are available from Dark Zone missions.

Register for this event via the Event Manager in Honam Kingdom. You'll spawn at your guild's tent and fight to take control of the fortress.

To capture the castle, break the gate and destroy the 4 crystals in order:

Frontier Crystal: Must be destroyed first. Grants a buff to the guild of the player who deals the final blow.
Luck Crystal & Honor Crystal: Destroy both before proceeding.
Heart Crystal: The guild dealing the most damage to this crystal captures the castle.
The map resets for round two, with the defending guild inside. Attackers can retake the castle. At the end of the event, the final owners enjoy exclusive NPCs, discounts, stronger upgrades, and a weekly buff.

Accessible after level 80 via Neverland. This PvP area is where factions battle and stronger monsters spawn. Use Dark Coal Accessories from the Happy Plains Mining Map to gain drop access here.

At a specific daily time, the Shiny Phoenix boss appears — both factions compete for it. The winning side gets valuable loot. Completing missions here rewards DZ Coins, used to buy wings, costumes, and other powerful items.

Dark Zone is only available during limited daily hours.

This event occurs three times a week and is recommended for level 75+. There's no stat balancing — everyone fights with full power. Players 50+ can join for high EXP if they stay active. AFK players are kicked.

You earn 1 point per kill and 5 points per collected star. Reaching 40 points gives the maximum reward. Top 3 players earn extra prizes. Use Arena Medals to purchase combination stones to enhance gear.

There are two pet types:

Collector Pets: Immortal. Timed versions don’t level up, but permanent ones do and gather faster over time.
Attack Pets: Can die. Revive with Soul Feather from the Stable NPC. Feed them via the auto-pot menu. Attack pets help in battle and can be enhanced with skill books.
All pets evolve at level 40 and 80, gaining new appearances and abilities. They level while you grind or through Pet Racing events.

You can buy various helpful items here.

Recommended starter purchases:
Premium Starter Box
8x Inventory Expanding Bag
House
1x Collector Pet
Premium Ticket

Optional additions:
Gender-specific costume set
Weapon costume
Mount
Wings
Attack Pet
All cosmetics are permanent once purchased.

Note: These items are also available via quests, events, or markets. Purchase is optional. The developers oppose Pay-to-Win and aim for accessibility — purchases are mainly for support and convenience.

You can cook meals using the pot in your house. As you cook more, your cooking job level increases and new recipes unlock. Meals provide temporary buffs, and after level 50, cooking becomes especially useful. You can also sell meals for good prices in your stall.

You may need certain materials to cook meals.

Buy the 'Stall' item from the Merchant NPC in Honam Kingdom and use it in a free spot. Add items and set their prices. You can activate 'Offer Only' to let others place bids instead of buying.

When someone makes an offer, a message appears in chat. Check your stall regularly. You’ll receive gold from sold items via mail, and if the stall closes, your items will also be mailed back.

Warning: Items not collected from the mail in time will be permanently deleted. If you log out, your stall stays open for 30 minutes. Premium users keep their stalls open for 48 hours with a special appearance.

Early levels provide enough gold from quests, but after level 55, you should actively farm it. Hunt mobs in Highlands until your inventory is full and sell the loot using Quick Sell at any NPC shop.

Join raids with your guild and sell unused raid gear on the market. You can also sell older strong gear, rare fish, cooked meals, and participate in events like Sudden War to earn more gold.

SSR item drops can be very valuable — learn market prices before selling.

Sometimes you may accidentally sell or drop important items. There’s a way to prevent that.

If you're on PC, you can lock an item by clicking the middle mouse button. On mobile, tap the item and select Lock.

Locked items cannot be dropped, sold, traded, or destroyed in any way.

To share items: on PC, hold the Shift key while moving stackable items to split them. On mobile, tap the item and use the Split option.
