This is for the benefit of all new and current players. This info is there in the A3 singapore site also...I have put in my tips in there towards the end. This is valuable information and will help you greatly so make sure you read this carefully.
Introduction to Shues
Shues are little birds that hover around the player, blessing him/her with additional perks. However, like any cyber pet, you will need to take care of them! Feed them as they get hungry, heal them as they get hurt, and they'll be your most trustworthy companion. There are a total of four types of Shues for the different character classes in A3: Warrior’s Mai, Mage’s Seal, Holy Knight’s Widipol, and Archer’s Sylpid.
The Shue starts off as an egg. To hatch it, you will need to advance its level to 5. Shues will gain the experience point to level up as you hunt and kill the monsters in A3. It will gain experience for every monster you skill. However, if the monsters' level is too low, your Shue will not gain any experience point. Your Shues’ level cannot exceed your characters' current level thus it will not gain any more experience points until you level up to the next level. A Shue needs to be equipped in order for you to gain the perks and for it to gain experience points.
Maintaining Your Shue
Each successful enemy attack will decrease your Shue's Hit Point. You can heal the Shue by pressing "3" on your keyboard to use a Hit Point (Red) potion from your existing inventory.
The Shues' SP Gauge is equivalent to a hunger gauge. It decreases by 1 every minute and when it reaches 0, your Shue will die of hunger. To replenish the Shue's SP Gauge, purchase a Shue Feed from the Healer NPC in town. Each feed will last your shue a week in real time.
If your Shue dies, you will need to purchase a Shue Resurrection Potion from the Healer NPC to revive it.
Tip: The first quest offered to a new character leads to a quest that rewards a Shue Resurrection potion. As these potions aren’t cheap, this will be a good way to obtain your first potion just in case it dies
- Free Shue Resurrection potions: If your shue dies again and again... dont have to buy new shues if you cannot afford shue resurrection potion.
Just do this:
- Create new char in the same account. and compelte first basic quest to meet all NPCs and get free shue resurrection potion.
- Goto storage and you will find that the storage is shared amongst all your chars in the same account. So transfer potion there.
- log out and relogin from old char and go to storage to retrive Potion and resurrect your shue.

SHUE TIPZ:
For beginners... the default egg that you get does not have any special powers, so no point in raising it. Sell it and buy new Shue from the NPCs. The new egg will have at least one or 2 special powers depending upon ur luck.
For advanced players: At your chars level 30 and level 60 you can equip new eggs which will have more spl options. You need to buy these from the NPCs again. Keep changing ur shue at these levels else you will be stuck with a mediocre shue at high levels. You need to keep gambling at the Shue seller till you get these eggs. So make sure u have a lot of Woonz.
The most important option i feel is +%experience. it goes to a max of 15% thats a lot at higher levels. For eg. at lvl 60 and above you will need more than 10 lac xp to gain each level, so a shue with +15% xp will get you around 150K free. Thts a lot!! Make sure that you have this egg.
Shue XP Trick (My Own discovery)- At lvl 30 and 60 you should be using new eggs with more special powers. But you should not discard or sell or give away your old shue, which would have advanced to a significant level by then. Especially the one with +%xp as you can use both the new and the old to benefit your char. Do the following
While hunting mount the egg to help it gain levels. But while finishing quest back in town unmount egg or low lvl new shue and mount old bigger shue with more +%xp option. And then go to the respective NPC to complete quest and get quest XP. This way your Quest XP will be boosted by your old shues +% xp. And replace egg again after taking new quest and going for hunting. Keep doing this till your new shue reaches the same lvl as your old shue. Then keep it or sell it or give it away.
Super Shue
A Super Shue is the result of breeding 2 shues into 1. The newly bred Super Shue will have both the parents’ options and will have an additional option for “Critical attack”. It is possible to breed 2 shues of different classes into a super shue of either of the parents’ class.
Breeding a Super Shue
To breed a Super Shue, the 2 parent shues have to be of level 100. An Item Identifier NPC can breed your 2 level 100 shues into a Super Shue. A Super Shue will start from level 1 again after being bred. There is no level requirement to equip a Super Shue.
