The main consequence is that Dark Avenger is convinced that Sparadrap is displaying Obfuscating Stupidity while everyone else (except Précieux) just sees him as the n00b he is. Gets even worse given that Sparadrap "beats" Dark Avenger mainly when the two are alone.

Saphir is a buffer rather than a [=DPSer=] [[spoiler:before becoming her team's replacement tank]] and [[spoiler: Nazetrîme]] is a DeathDealer. Roxana, Couette and Ivy have been seen getting into hand to hand combat on a single occasion.
** Quite a few masculine characters are shooters also : Sparadrap, Ystos and Battos as healers, Master Zen, Précieux and Heimdäl as mages, and Amaras and Fantöm have distance attacks in their arsenal as Twilight Warriors. That makes both aspects of the trope are downplayed, with the "girls shoot" part closest to being played straight.

* ArcWelding: The first novel did this to some episodes of the webseries, making it part of of the ''Horizon'' storyline. When an episode of Season 1 needed to show a character doing FetchQuest (which happened three or four times out of twenty often stand-alone episodes) the QuestGiver always happened to be InTheHood and dressed in a BlackCloak, something that could easily be normal for the game and/or due to NoBudget. The first novel, chronologically set after the first season, reaveals that [[spoiler: the black cloak is actually a trademark for a group that is after the DismantledMacGuffin central to the fiirst novel ; some of the pieces were used as decoration for random objects that they sometimes couldn't go get themselves without attracting attention, hence the fetch quests]].

The media have a BroadStrokes relation to each other, keeping important events in common but varying in the exact way they happened, their connexion to each other and/or time periods covered.

The team is mostly held together by the fact that it's near impossible to reach level 100 without being part of a guild, resulting in both TeethClenchedTeamwork and WithFriendsLikeThese. The cast quickly expands beyond the Noob Guild alone as the ambitions held by each of its members make them establish relationships, both good and bad, with other players. These connexions, as well as their leader's attention to detail, get the Noob Guild more involved in major game events that one would expect for a low-level guild whose numbers never go beyond eight plus a HonoraryTrueCompanion.

* BroadStrokes: The media are meant to be readable on their own while covering different time periods. As a consequences things that made up the whole plot in one media will be merely mentionned to have happened in another, and get oversimplified, changed and/or have important details omitted so they can get revealed at a time that works better for the in-media storytelling.
* MythologyGag: Due to the BroadStrokes situation, quite a few inter-media reference qualify. Also, when events are actually shown to happen in a different way between two media, the most recent depiction of the event will include a nod to the previous one.
