Ok, I know I'm not a beginner, but I need help

1. Sometimes on posts and threads people say "Qi". I have no idea what that is and I was wondering if someone could tell me what it stood for.

2. I want to buy some stuff for my tori (flames, paint, hair etc.) but I don't know how. Whenever I ask on a server people always say different things.

Those are the questions. If anyone knows the answer please post it.
THANKS!

Qi is like a level, the more the qi you get, the higher your belt is. and also qi is also for items, some items have qi restrictions. Example, a maya force needs 2000 qi, and you wanted to buy it, because you have enough money but you don't have enough qi, if you don't have enough qi, you cant buy it. Qi is like a level up thing or something.

Qi: Quotient In-game I may call it.

It goes up 1 point every time you win.

Buying forces and relaxes:
Market >> Torishop

Buying flames:
People sell them. But you need to buy the template for 16k.
The template is a frame, put a picture there and your flame comes to life.

EDIT: Ninja'd on the QI by smosh, gg.

Thanks, but is there a way to tell how much qi you have?
