What are virtues/epics?
Epics are equipment that have better stats then they would normally at that level, and are rare drops off creatures. To do anything with one (except destroying it), you must purchase the virtues it needs – a lot of epics share the same requirements so if you purchase virtues for one epic, then you may not need to if you find/buy another one. Virtues cost $5 USD or 1 timecard each, and there are a total 30 of them. As well as allowing you to equip and/or sell epics, virtues give your character an additional 1% exp gain in all areas, which means that with all 30 virtues you will level at 130% the normal rate (made exponentially higher by all those learning skills). You can purchase virtues either by right-clicking an epic you find, or one that is in your trade window (trade doesn’t have to go through).
