You can get an apartment by stepping into any apartment door in a city BACKYARD. Backyards are generally right next to the area where you first started the game.

You can only have ONE apartment, however those who get a Shadowlands apartment will have their old apartment PLUS their new one. You must have your apartment key in your inventory to enter your apartment. People that Pre-ordered Shadowlands or have won a special key may also have a Luxury Jobe apartment.

If you want a new apartment or lose your key, then you'll need to visit a store and purchase an apartment application. Target yourself and use it; this will allow you to pick a new apartment somewhere. Be careful, these forms can be a little pricey (for newcomers) and will remove all your old stuff from your old apartment.

How do I get help if I'm stuck or need assistance?
If you find yourself stuck in the physical geometry (example would be stuck in a ceiling) or ever need assistance with a bug, quest problem, lost items, or harassment you can use the /petition <description of problem> command at any time to receive help from the ARK staff. If you are stuck in geometry, try the /stuck command first before you petition. If you just have general questions please check these forums or in game on the Newbie OOC chat channel before using the /petition command. Also, don't be afraid to ask others for help and advice ingame, there are many a good citizens on Rubi-Ka who don't mind helping out. These forums are another good place to find answers to your questions.

Please visit this thread for more information on ARK, GMs, and petitions.

What is Over Equipping (OE)?
This is the process of bulking your skills up (temporary!) higher than normal in order to equip a weapon or something. Once the temporary measure has worn off, i.e. a buff, then the item is OE and subject to OE rules.

Some items cannot be OE and will fall off. Some items once OE will have OE penalty making them less effective. Other items there is no penalty at all.

How do I install implants?
To install implants the target slot must first be empty, the slots for implants can be found in the tabs where you find your armor/weapons.

Then you must locate a Surgery Clinic, which are located inside most shops and in Apartment Areas. To use the Clinic you simply right click on it. Note: you must have the 300 Anarchy Credits charge it costs to use it. Once you have right clicked on the Clinic then you can either right click on the implant you wish to install or pick it up and drop it in the target slot. You can add/remove as many as you want so long as your clinic buff does not expire or you do not leave the playfield of the clinic machine.
