Hi, i'm new to dd2 & i would like to know a few things

1, where in the world do you go to buy the new character abyss lord

2, how does this hero deck work when it comes to everyone that's in it getting exp because i have 2 people in it but only one is getting exp. Also how do you switch between the 2 that is in your hero deck while in the battle phase.

3, when do you start getting pet drops

4, where do you go to use your medals from maps

Thanks in advance for taking the time out to help.

1. I believe you can press F5 to toggle the abyss lord's splash screen, which has purchase buttons if you want him quickly.

2. I haven't tried it when using a hero that is not in maximum level, but when you have a max leveled hero, the experience they get is split into the ones who are not max leveled in your deck, apologies I don't know more about it.

3. You start getting pet drops once you clear the Wyvern Den campaign mission, just continue doing story quests until you get there.

4. There's an NPC who claims them , you will unlock her as you go through the story quests like the last question =)

Welcome to DD2 & I hope you'll have a great time.

So i can only share exp when i have a character at max level while others are in my hero deck?

I don't know, maybe someone else can reply to that.

I am commenting since I noticed I forgot to answer your subquestion in 2. - you can swap between all heroes in your hero deck during combat phase by clicking their respective F1 / F2 / F3 / F4 key.

The heroes being swapped do not share blue mana bars, pet ability cooldowns, or skill cooldowns - so feel free to spam all of your abilities before switching over, I found it to be a lot of fun.

You can share exp at any time an any/all heroes in your hero deck will benefit. There is a bug at the moment though. Sometimes the game forgets that you have a hero in your hero deck and thus doesn't award exp properly when they are not your controlled hero. The solution is to just switch through each hero, that you want to earn exp on, once real quick at the start of the map. 

There is another bug where if you build with hero X and then switch that hero out of your deck, while still controlling that hero, it loses some stats and the effects of spheres from anything it has built.
