1.18 changes I don't understand

"* Completing a regional levequest as any class other than those recommended will yield no skill points."

"The skill point bonus for defeating levequest targets has been abolished."

^ What does those mean?

"Players who participate in behests will now have to wait a set amount of time before participating again."

^ Anybody knows the time?

Does anybody know what the difference between the options in "Target Cursor Type", Also how does direct targeting and auto target lock work?

I'd like to know what Direct Targeting means as well.

The first means if you complete the levequest as a class other than "Disciple of War/Magic Rank 20" you will not get skill points (not sure if being a lower level won't award SP).

As for the second: before the patch, levequests gave a ton of SP (Like 400-1000 per mob). Now, they give you a more "normal" amount of SP (like 100-300) but you get rewarded with bonus SP when you Complete the leve.

The circle with arrows floating around it, or an arrow above your target that is solid when selected and an outline when engaged (attacking). Direct targeting I don't know, but target lock means you will automatically lock on to that target (so you can't change targets and your screen stays locked on the target) when you engage the target.

The first one means that if you complete a, say, Mining levequest and switch to, say, Gladiator right before you turn it in, you won't get any SP for it. Likewise, if you do a leve that requires Disciples of War or Magic and switch to Miner, you won't get any SP on miner for it.

The second one means that mobs in Levequests no longer grant more SP than mobs of equivalent type outside of leves. So if you kill a rank 18 dodo for a leve, you'd get the same SP as if you killed a rank 18 dodo outside of a leve.

I assume this means that if you switch to a Land or Hand class and complete a leve, you won't get completion skill points as the class since the leves are meant for War or Magic

I was under the impression that you no longer get most of the sp from links when defeating the mob but rather it is added to the large completion sp bonus

No idea about this. :S

Once again... No idea

#1.You have to be on DoW or DoM if the guildleve states so, in order to receive SP. Same goes for DoH, or DoL.

#2.You won't receive SP when you kill a guildleve target, instead you will receive a set amount at the end of the guildleve.

#3. I think they raised the behest re-entry time to 45 min. That's a speculation though.

#4. The first type, is nothing but the lock-on animation that appears around the target. The second, is a floating animation above the target that is either A. filled in, which means you are not currently attacking, or B. grey'd out, which means you are currently attacking. And the third option is a mix of both.

Right now I can't figure out what the direct target thing is. However, on my controller, I figured out how to auto-lock with L2. It might be different depending on how you set up your controller.
