2 Quick Questions: Do the +50 % Health/Magic/Spirit Points regeneration from the Gold Aura and the Rainbow Aura stack? In other words, if I had both the Gold and Rainbow Auras, would I have +100 % Health/Magic/Spirit Points regeneration?

Yes they do stack apparently, Linearly as well.

About X-abilities: I'm a melee fighter, I currently have Speed Action 123. Is it worth to take X-Object and X-attack from the next tiers, or is their effect too little and I'd better use those 2 Ability points to improve my Overcharge instead?

I believe you should absolutely spend the points to get both of the X-abilties. It reduces the actual action time required to use those commands (attack and item), so it stacks with your speed. This gives you a much better chance to use an item without being attacked and to get in double turns with basic melee attacks.

Get both X-abilities for sure.

Hello once more to those who read this thread, I just dinged lvl50 and went to the Ring of Blood section. I had some "token of blood" dropped from random monster so I challenged one of these bosses to see what do they actually do. Two of them dropped the same token so I wiped out all 4 challenges and got 40000 cr. Now my question is: how do people actually obtain these tokens of blood? Is this some kind of "bonus for those who are lucky" or these tokens are obtainable via some "static" way?
Ah, forgot to ask one more thing, these bosses dropped some Trophies and Artifacts. Is there any point in turning them in right now or should I wait until some higher level?

Those that're lucky. They drop randomly from fights although clearing arena's will give you a better chance to get them (arena's have "clear token bonuses")

So that means I'll have to wait and pray for the same item to drop for me one day? Well, huh... guess clearing at least four of them should be good enough for me for now. What about trophies then? Should I wait for lvl80+? 100+?

When I said arena, that includes Ring of Blood AND the normal arena. So that's not too bad. But like I said, you can drop them from random fights as well - that's where the praying can come in. No worries about getting lots though. You'll meet Manbearpig etc often enough once you get to level 100+ (they become part of the arena challenges) When you redeem your trophy is totally up to you. Some people do it right away to see if they can get something useful. Others hold it until they're higher level so they won't have to level the item for it to be worth more. And I think someone noted the probability of a token being blood is 25% chance (in the above posts)

The rewards from turning in trophies are always close to your level (by +/-5 I believe). Use trophies if you want gear now and don't wish to purchase from the bazaar or other players. Save them if you're okay with your current gear and want to have higher level goods to sell / wear.
Edit: Just 0/-5.

just wanted to clarify, the maximum level of gear you can get is your own, the minimum is -5 level of your own. example : i am level 65, i offer a trophy at the shrine, the gear can be in "worst" case level 60, and at "best" szenario level 65. Usually i just turn them in for something that sells well in the bazaar, like staffs. A litlle bit of extra cash is always welcome

About Training...
From the FAQ: Q: Does training Quartermaster reduce your chance of getting items/artifacts? Does training Archaeologist reduce your chance of getting equipment/other items?
A: Technically, yes, but the reduction would be infinitesimally small.
Does this mean that, if I were to max out of Quartermaster and Archaeologist, then the chances of finding equipment and artifacts is the exact same as having 0 of each? Or am I misunderstanding something in how you find them?

If you max quartermaster and archaeologist it'll mean you get roughly twice as many artifacts/equipment as before. But you'll get less crystals/potions/etc I think

An insignificant amount less. And you can always sell those artifacts to buy them.

What about with Scavenger maxed as well? Does that mean I'll get roughly twice as many "everything"?

I've got a question about +Exp abilities. I went to Grindfest with 0 points at these abilities and got 62.46 exp from the fight with 2 enemies. Then I threw in 14 points in +Exp abilities (I assume that should be +42% Exp, right) and went to Grindfest once more. Fought two enemies, got 62.87 Exp. Am I doing something wrong?

Every mob gives different exp, plus there are other factors like the monsters' levels (they can be anywhere from your level to 5 less) and a small random factor. I doubt you fought the exact same monsters at the exact same levels.
