There are 5 skill level sets that you can level up, these are: Combat, Survival, Gathering, Crafting and Fishing.

Combat increases by killing NPCs, Survival is gained by completing quests as well as staying alive on server (afk also increases this), Gathering XP is gained by picking items dropped from NPCs and Crafting XP is gained by crafting and repairing items. No guesses for fishing.
Skills are also unlocked for when you reach certain levels on each skill set. You can equip these skills to help you with a boost in combat or gathering items.

Crafting/Cooking

This menu tab is where you craft items using resources in your inventory. Simply click on the items you need to craft and it will show you the material needed at the bottom right of the window to craft the item.
Each item is sorted in its own category and you can click these categories to find the item you need to craft much quicker.

Once you find the item you need to craft and got the resources in your inventory, click on the craft button.
You can also find information on what items you can get other items from when scrapping/recycling them by clicking the small recycle button on the thumbnail of the item you clicked on.

Please note that some items will not be craftable unless you found one in a raid and recycled it to get the blueprint for it. You may also stumble across books to learn from.

Fishing

At the back of the lobby there is a fishing area which is the only place you can use a fishing rod at. Once you equip a fishing rod you can go next to the lake and dip the hook underwater by holding left click.

After a while you will feel a fish biting your hook and can now reel your catch in by holding right click and press E to put the catch in your inventory.

Rarity of rod will increase the depth of how far your hook can go down, the deeper it goes the higher chance at finding higher rarity fish or items becomes.

Don't forget to swicth to fisherman class before you fish to gain xp for that class and perhaps catch a nice surpsie.

Farming

You can always visit the farm at the lobby to grow plants and get certain ingredients or just to feed your pet. You can travel to the farm by typing /farm in the chat.

Food is used to gain XP to your pets and level them up to get more perks.

Don't forget to switch to your farmer skill while farming to level it up!

Upgrading

There are many ways to upgrade your weapon! The simplest way is to use them so they gain XP and level up during raids!
Leveling your weapon increases Handling, Mobility and the kicker... Damage!

Raid Keys

Raid keys automatically upgrade as your DPS increases, up to Epic! At Epic, you will (once winning) get a key for the next tier!
Progressing key tiers not only makes it more challenging, but also drops much better loot!
Replaying Epic+ raids will drop you key-shards, which you can use to upgrade your key higher than Epic, to Legendary or Mythic!
Higher raids means higher chances, more xp and phatter loot!

Below is the DPS recommendation for each key type. Please note that hellish keys do not scale with your gun's DPS and requires key shards to upgrade rarity.

Key / Rarity	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare	Epic	Legendary	Mythic
Normal	300	390	480	570	660	750	840
Advanced	600	700	800	900	1000	1100	1200
Elite	900	1010	1120	1230	1340	1450	1560
Expert	1300	1420	1540	1660	1780	1900	2020
Hellish	2800	2920	3040	3160	3280	3400	3520

Stat Mutators

These are used to reroll the stats on your weapon. Think of it like a diceroll where anything is possible. Consumed by right clicking on your gun and selecting [Reroll Stats] under the upgrade menu.
It is important to keep in mind that using these, it does not guarantee an upgrade of the weapon.
The recommended way to use them, if you've already got a gun with good stats, is to have a "secondary" weapon you reroll until it is better than your current one.

Dust

To upgrade a weapons' rarity, you must use Dust. The Dust cost changes as you upgrade, higher rarity = higher cost.
When a weapons' rarity is upgraded, the damage increases by a set percentage.

You can also upgrade items, and armor. Most items and armor are upgraded by fusing three of the same rarity together to get a higher rarity.
Armor works this way until it hits Unobtainium, then you need to start using Dust.

Rarity of Weapons	Cost of Upgrade
Common to Uncommon	24 Dust
Uncommon to Rare	48 Dust
Rare to Super Rare	96 Dust
Super Rare to Epic	192 Dust
Epic to Legendary	384 Dust
Legendary to Mythic	768 Dust
Mythic to Unobtainium	1500 Dust
Unobtainium to Ascended	3000 Dust
Ascended to Abyssal	5000 Dust

Star shards

If you happen to fall over a star shard, well, then you're in luck, as these give a substantial upgrade to the performance of your weapon. These can be found in Advanced or higher raids/caches!
The way they work is by adding a flat +5% to Damage, Recoil, Spread, and Reload speed.
A single weapon can be starred three times, once when it reaches level 30 and again at level 40, the first starring costs 1 star, while the next costs 2 etc.

Gem Fragments

Gem Fragments can be found while playing raids, every enemy has a chance to drop them.
Fragments come from doing raids and grinding gems, these fragments can be used to upgrade armored chest pieces, purchase items during raid from the Wandering Merchant.

You can fuse Gem Fragments together to create gems, and they are used to upgrade a gem to a higher rarity. You can also reverse this process, at a high loss.

Weapon Mods

Weapon mods can be obtained through the auction, crates that can drop them(these mention on highlight), the "Mod Hunt" quest, or beating bosses in Epic Elite and higher!

Weight Stabilizer - Increases your handling on your weapon.
Precision Pin - Increases the fire rate of the weapon.
Magnetized Magazine - Increases reload speed.
Plastic Replica - Increases movement speed.

Uniques

There are many different unique weapon/equipment variants, these may give bonuses to the item, so pay attention to those!
Antique boosts the weapon stats by 1%. All items before May have been made Antique.
Spooky, Easter and Snowy attributes also boost the weapon stats by 1% (this is currently invisible). These can be gained during their respective time of year events!
Tier 2, 3, 4 boost the weapon stats by 1, 2 and 3% respectively! If you're lucky enough you can find a Tierifier
Boss weaponry boost the weapon stats by a significant amount too and come with their own tech!

Attributes

Attributes are elemental strengths and weaknesses that help or hinder you depending on the environment; these are changed with a Gem of the same(or higher) rarity.

Attribute	Str/Weak
Holy	+Chaos, -Chaos
Chaos	+Holy, -Holy
Nature	+Water, -Fire, -Poison
Fire	+Poison, +Nature, -Water
Water	+Poison, +Fire, -Lightning
Poison	+Nature, -Fire, -Water
Lightning	+Water, -Nature
Magic	+???, -???

Gems

Gems are used for two things. Both are equally important. One use for the gems, is in crafting of techs. Techs are used to upgrade guns' stats, but do have drawbacks when installed on your weapon.

Another use for gems is to apply attributes to your weapon. Keep in mind that You cannot apply a gem to a gun if it is a lower rarity than it.
This means, if you want to put a gem on a RARE gun, you need a RARE OR ABOVE gem.
To upgrade gems, you use Gem Fragments.

Techs

Below is a table that breaks down techs and their effects:

Tech	Effect
Overdrive	+Damage, -Recoil
Rapid	+Reloadspeed, -Recoil
Stabilizer	+Recoil, -Spread
Ventilation	+Spread, -Noise
Drilling	+Penetration, -Movespeed
Augment	+Movespeed, -Reloadspeed
Localising	+Spread, -Penetration

Keep in mind that +Spread doesn't mean that the spread gets worse, the same way that -recoil does not mean that the recoil gets more manageable.
These +'s and -'s just refer to the way it affects the stat readout.

The rarity of the tech DOES impact the stats it will impart.
Common will be +1 or -1, Mythic will be +7 or -7, respectively.
Techs can also be upgraded by fusing 3 of the same rarity together, similar to items and armors.

 

Equipment

You will find several items in the server that can be equipped.
Hats, chest pieces, pants, shoes, and rings can provide bonus defense to your characters total armor value.
Backpacks can increase the amount of weight you may carry around.
Your primary, secondary, & melee slots serve purpose to weapons you may find around the server.
Your tertiary slot can be filled mainly with grenades, molotovs, a medkit, a portable shield kit, a pickaxe, and a fishing rod.
Your skin slot serves purpose to the different skins you find around the server to fit your style, these skins have a weight carrying bonus.
Your ring slots can be filled with several different rings you’ll find around the server, from boss set rings to copper rings, these provide several different bonuses.
Your pet slot will be used for eggs that you are training or pets you want to equip.

Armor

There are many different types of armor, the armor most widely-recognized as "the best" is Kinetic or Quick Charge armor, depending on personal choice.

Pets

Pets are helpful little critters that give you bonuses! Pets can also breed and produce eggs, which can be incubated by running around with them equipped.
The bonuses are float based, so have a chance to upgrade each time the pet evolves (every 10 levels). A Pet will learn a bonus/skill every 10 levels until it has 4.
On breeding your pet, your new egg will inherit the parents bonuses at their current level, giving them the ability to improve further.
Note that Males can breed infinitely while Females can only breed twice.

Hats & Boss Sets

You can get boss set gear! When you have at least 3 pieces equipped, you get a set bonus! These are listed below:

Boss Set	Effect
Dr.Hax	Increases Movement Speed by 20%
Arcana	Increases Attribute Damage by 25%
Reaper	Reduces Fire Damage by 50%
Dullahan	Reduces Blunt/Slash Damage by 50%
Aessidhe	Elemental Fury; All attributes are weak
Lugh	Poison, Bleeding & Sickness Immune
Siren	Reduces Magic Damage by 50%
Havan	Increases Total Defense by 25%

Repairing

To repair your gear you have two options, either you use a repair kit, or you use the Repair-o-matic in the lobby.
The difference between the two is where to place the cost of repair, the kits costs materials to craft, while the repair-o-matic costs cash to use.
Do keep in mind that the repair-o-matic will only repair gear which you have equipped.

The following is a table showing at which rarity your kit needs to be, to fix gear.


 

Repair Table	Common Kit	Uncommon Kit	Rare Kit	Super Rare Kit	Epic Kit	Legendary Kit	Mythic Kit
Common	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Uncommon	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Rare	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Super Rare	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Epic	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Legendary	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Mythic	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Unobtanium	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Ascended	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Abyssal	No	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes

So you've broken your gear past the point where it can be repaired using the usual manner?
In that case we have just the right consumable for you, it is called a Recombulator, and can be bought from the shops in the lobby.

 

Raiding

When you interact with the door, a UI will pop up and have you select a key to use.
As you enter the door, you'll be teleported to the waiting area, giving other people a chance to join your raid, which will also increase your chances for loot by a set percentage.
Loot that has a beam of light above it is owned by you, if it doesn't have a beam of light, then it isn't yours.
There are several different resources you can collect in-raid. You can collect Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Berries. Here's an example of an ore node, and a berry bush.
After you kill the boss(es) which you fight every 5 waves, it will drop loot, however only the second boss is guaranteed to drop loot.

The type of loot which you earn is based on the difficulty of the raid, see the table below, regarding at which difficulty you need to play, to have a chance of getting higher grade weapons.

Difficulty	Tier
Normal	Tier 1
Advanced	Tier 2
Elite	Tier 3
Expert	Tier 4

Raid Mods

There are a few different modifiers for raids that can be found. These are dropped from boss kill, or caches that mention them!
These increase the reward, but also the risk- so be ready for them!

Raid Mod	Effect
Rage	Enemies take 10x damage / Enemies deal 10x damage
Medicine Madness	Medics heal 200% extra / Shields do not recharge
Chaotic Embrace	Enemies are Chaos only / Enemies explode on death
