There's a pickup action you can put on your hotkey bar, you can goto the action window by pressing O. Other than that cash shop pets auto-pick up for you.
Every skill point can be used for any job advancement, vagrant skills aren't worth it. So yeah save them.
For builds it depends on equips.
For yj the cap dex you want is 90, the rest into strength. This is for PvM, when you get high enough level to turn into a pvp build I think you'll know what to do by then seeing as how you get your first pvp yoyo at lvl 105.
Your main yoyo will be the Hyoyo lvl 75 (Historic yoyo) and your end game PvM set will be called the restra set. You get your second best armor set at lvl 45 called the cruiser set. These sets are green equips and they act as they would in diablo 2 set items.
For a Bp the cap dex you want is either 80 or 98, rest into strength again. Your only useful 1v1 sets are the lvl 15 set and the lvl 105 sets.
The reason you cap your dex at these are because of the speed breakpoints.
For both of these classes, your PvM weapons are ones that add Adoch (additional damage of critical hits). But just use normal NPC weapons until level 60.

http://flyff-wiki.gpotato.com/index.php/Main_PageYes the bowjester (bj) is the yj using a bow for the crit advantage. But, in the end the bj is at a disadvantage because of "Ultimate weapons" highly upgraded weapons that can only be used by it's certain class. So ultimate bows can only be used by rangers not jesters.
Most bjs restat and use yoyos again.
Also, remember this when deciding your builds. ALWAYS minus 20 dex because you have to take into account the cannon ball buff that adds 20 dex.
And dont forget to minus dex that equips add. Once again refer to this page and look through the equips
http://flyff-wiki.gpotato.com/index.php/Main_PageYour main jewels are going to be Vigor rings, Demol Earrings, Gore necklace. When you get rich arek rings will be useful.
As a beginner I would follow this guide to make money
http://www.flyffworld.com/forums/t21461/Each Plug +9 sells for 45m-50m (Plugs are earrings for AoE classes)
Also, there's items that reduce the lvl requirement for your equips. Red B -5 levels go for 80m, Red A -10 levels go for 120m.
Oh yeah use the "Buff Pang" npc in town, its a penguin and it gives you long lasting buffs, This npc can only be used until lvl 60.
I don't know what else to say because I kinda lost track lol, anyways being as nice as I sometimes am i'm going to give you some starter equips and stuff lol you'll really see the difference. Try to find the Post Box because im mailing stuff to you.
If you have more questions just pm me.
