I was unable to Sprint through the forest due to my low stamina, I walked onward as quickly as possible. Moving beyond a short cave I came upon the first monsters of the event.
[Vorves], wolf like monsters. The very basic of monsters for beginners.
I struggled slightly due to my low level and low DPS «Damage Per Second». I managed to slay a few monsters, and they each dropped a few «Qiu», the in game currency. The currency resembled multi-colored geodes or jewels.
These jewels are the most valuable items in the game. These jewels were used for everything from buying and crafting weapons, armor, accessories, and items to leveling up.
These jewels were tied to everything. The fact that this remained a constant even in this event let me know that the same systems were still in place.
