Tip
Water Taoists earn the most gold through party play. Join a guild early — your healing keeps everyone alive, and they'll keep you leveling faster. Keep MagicShield up at all times in dangerous areas.
PvP Warning
You will be the #1 target in any PvP encounter. Use Invisibility proactively and stay behind your team's frontline. A dead healer means a dead party.
