Newb help please

[Jroot]

So I am trying to search this forum and everyone keeps saying NG OG NG++ WTF???

I am wanting in on the secrets of this game. Here is what I have accomplished I have a level 150 character, with the zero mech looking items.

I let the DKN (dark knight?) beat me and have a character with dark zero mech looking armor.

I would really like to be able to use this dark armor with my positive bloodline level 150 character. Is that possible?

Also. There is a sword called the shard I would like to know how I can get it.

Is there a way to do these things within the game without hacking at some save files?

Lastly, I have the thorne ring and I can not make it do healing to save my life. No matter what it will do everything but healing. Any advise?

Thanks guys and sorry for the newbie questions.

Lvl 150 n00b? Troll...

[Jroot]

Hey bud, I assure you I am no troll, honestly. I just discovered this forum. My son and I have been playing this game for a couple of months on the iPad. He is 8, and is starting to get bored with it. I decided to Google about the game and discovered this forum. Then from here, I learned about the negative levels. Then I heard some mention of a sword I don't have. I never said I sucked at the game. I am asking for insight into the secret stuff like the negative levels that I never would have found on my own. I am very interested in finding this shard sword. My son would flip over it. I promise I am genuine in my quest for help. Thanks

P.S. What does new game ++ mean?

Thanks dknowle for your help. The first link is too confusing. The second made my ring useable thanks!

The first topic has grown a little out of control so I can see how it can be confusing.

Since you have dark armor you are -bloodline. Complete bloodline -10. After that you can reset to bloodline 1 again and you will be in OG.

After you Defeat deathless/ZM you will be in NG. Do it again and you will be in NG2 or NG++. Continue process to go to NG3 then you will unlock the shard.
