ApexCO being a classic server means that you will have to actually spend some time working our for your gears and characters. Therefore, we generally recommend our players to choose the Archer as their first character.
As an Archer you will be able to hunt all over the world and find goodies that will surely help you improve your equipment and server as a starting base for you.
Once you have your character created you must exit the Birth Village by speaking to Village Gateman in the Northeast of the map, you'll then be sent to Twin City, where you will be able to speak to the Guide NPC and find out more about our server as well as request players to level you by clicking the "How to get started?" dialog followed by the "Ask for P-Level" option. It shouldn't take long until someone contacts you and helps you out.
In case you haven't found a team you can also head to famous maps as Bird Island or the Advanced Zone (AlientSerpents & Basilisks - Guild Conductor 2) as people will most-likely be leveling characters there.
Note: You must speak to GuruTodd at Twin City center and ask him for double experience - he'll give you an hour of double experience while you're below level 70.
Once you find yourself someone to level you, it is time to start thinking about getting yourself an alt account and leave it inside the Mine cave. It won't directly help you leveling but the extra gold you can get for selling gold ores and the gems you will get while mining that can be used to get meteors from the Blue Mouse Quest will really help you out getting started early in the game.
Note: You can also obtain DragonBalls and Super Gems while mining which will be a great help if you find any.
As you might have noticed by now, there are PVP Events running twice per hour that will not only give you some great rewards in case you win them but they will also give you some experience for participating. They can also be a distraction for you to take a break of hunting as they're fun and really quick lasting less than a couple minutes.
Even if you don't plan to use blade or sword we strongly recommend you to learn these skills and join the PVP Events as most of them are hit/skill based meaning that your gears won't determine anything making them a fun break for everyone.
Once you reach level 50, a dialog asking you to vote for the server will popup every 12 hours when you login on the server. Once you accept to vote, it will open a browser window which will be redirected to the voting website and where you'll have to fill a captcha and simply click the vote button.
If you did everything right, a sucessful vote must have been added to our server and as an appreciation, a vote point must have been added to your character. Vote Points can be exchanged for several rewards at the ClassicGod NPC in Twin City near the Blacksmith.
Note: We strongly recommend you to exchange your Vote Points for 1 or 3 days of VIP subscription as you will have the chance to experience all the benefits of a VIP player.
Now that you have probably leveled yourself a bit, the next thing you must be thinking of is how you'll get yourself some equipment to start with. Class promotions will grant you some starting items so make sure you don't forget to promote yourself as soon as possible. Level 15 promotion will award you a L15 Refined Set of items while level 40 and 70 promotions will award you an Unique Set of items.
Once you got these items you should start hunting for some Meteors, DragonBalls and +1 items which can be either used to improve your equipment or sold to other players to gather some gold. Make sure you learn Scatter and try choosing the spawn where you can hunt as better as possible - spawns like the Robins in Twin City, the Bandits at Phoenix Castle or MinMacaques at Ape City secondary maps are the ones we usually recommend our players to start hunting at as there's a plenty amount of monters and they're weak enough for you to kill them with Scatter.
If you have followed all of these steps you are in the right path to become a real conqueror in the server. By now you should start looking at all the guides we have in this page and understand what quests and events you and make and join to continue progressing in the game. As an archer your next step would be heading to the Labyrinth and level yourself from there.
Great adventures, battles and friends are surely waiting for you ingame so enough of reading and lets get it started. ApexCO counts on you to become a legend and defeat everyone else, make sure you don't let us down.

If you are having problems with low framerates and your mouse cursor keeps blinking every now and then, the following steps below might help you out fixing this issue.
#1: Open Play.exe
#2: Click on Fix Mouse Lag
#3: done.
The low framerates issue is caused by the way some Intel CPUs handle Background and Foreground Applications. Enabling pointer trails helps it see the client as a Foreground application.
By default, the client's FPS cap is set for 900 framerates per second. However this value can be increased/decreased to whatever value you want or you believe to be the best for you.
To do so, open the fullscreen.txt file that's inside your client with a text editor such as Windows' Notepad. Here you'll find the following text: "Fps=120" – changing this value will set a new FPS cap for your client.
This file also allows you to change other client settings such as enabling/disabling fullscreen mode by changing 'Fullscreen unCheckBox' or changing the actual window size to a custom size of your own by choosing a Width and Height and leaving 'Fullscreen Check Box'.
Razer Cortex suspends processes that your PC doesn’t need to use while gaming. This frees up memory and CPU power which results in less laggy gameplay and improved frames per second.
Razer Cortex will not affect your hardware settings. Razer Cortex instead focuses your PC’s processing power and memory onto the game that you’re running.
