Starting On Red

[Lufnis]

Just a couple questions. Can a friendly player play, and not get constantly ganked? If I die from pvp, what do I lose?

Is it possible to buy items, gear? Looking to play a monk, and I know the upper levels can get rough at times. How much would I need to save for a fungi? Other monk gear?

Anything else I should know, please let me know! I like the idea of the small community. Thank you.
