A great place to begin your method of strategy is to know the textbook stuff. Here is a rundown of the game elements and what you need to know.The first thing you should learn are the character attributes. Learn the starting stats for all the races in the lineage2 gold game and their subsequent attributes. Then, understand how each attribute affects the gameplay. For example, a character with a high strength attribute will be able to defeat enemy players in fewer blows because they do more damage. Learn how all of the attributes, not just strength for example, correspond to the gameplay as a whole and you will be on your way to becoming a highly skilled combatant.Symbols, or tattoos as they are commonly referred to by players, are a unique inclusion to the game that you won't find in other MMORPG's. You must collect 10 "dyes" of the same type, go see a "Symbol Maker", and then pay a large sum to have the applied to your character. Tattoo's lose their worth when you build up enough experience points to change your character class, so they're only temporary in their functionality. You can get brand new tattoos for each new character class you attain, so these are a constant throughout the game. There are two types of dyes: Ordinary dyes and Greater Dyes. The ordinary dyes can be found quite easily throughout the game when an enemy "drops" them, or purchased from the Trader of Mammon.
