What is it exactly?

Qi is the amount of games you've played. Both wins and losses count. Matches that end draw do not count.

thanks!

Sometimes,you need a certain amount of QI to get certain items. Other times, you dont. Say for orc, you need 0QI.

Qi can be bought from the Torishop or won manually through games. Belts are determined by Qi; 0 = white, 20 = yellow, and so on with green and blue, then 1000 = black, 2000 = 2nd dan, and so on. Some items have Qi restrictions and you will not be able to buy them or gain them in a trade until you have the required Qi level.

Also; be a little more careful about where you post threads. This isn't really a big deal, but a simple question like this should be in Rapid Threads or Beginner Sanctuary. Support is for actual problems involving Toribash, not just questions ;) Hope this whole post has cleared some things up. Enjoy your stay at Toribash!
