Are items available without QI restrictions?

• Yes, you can use STs to buy items without QI restriction from the Torishop.
• You can buy items without QI restriction using TC + ST from players who have the market premium.
• You can also buy "Packs" from the Torishop or Market, they bypass any QI restriction as long as they are not unpacked. They are usually expensive.
• The term "No-QI" items means that a Torishop admin will send the item because they have the ability to bypass the QI restriction. QI always stays the same on the item. Never changes. Meaning, Once the item is placed into your account the QI restrictions are applied again. You cannot send it to anyone else without having the necessary QI.

This item is out of stock, what do i do?

• Items go out of stock when people buy lots of them, because people have bought lots of them there are plenty in the market, so go to the market to find it there.
