Game Tips

• If you see a (3) beside a sector, street, or building name, it means that there are three players within the area.


• Turn your speakers on as the game has sound. You can enable/disable sounds in the Sound Options section


• Be careful! Don't just wildly open crates and baskets - sometimes they are protected by harmful traps! If your stats get lowered too much, you won't be able to interact within buildings. I recommend having some raise fatigue items on hand. There are lots of recipes around the world to make your own potions, or you can buy them from a Vendor/Merchant.


• Some houses/rooms have monsters in them, so be careful! Look to buy or find a weapon to protect yourself.


• If you run out of money, find a NPC player in the world who has a �free� item. Free items are in containers that are not locked or trapped (eg: Fizpa's wooden crate). You can collect these items and store them in your vault, and sell them to Vendors for instant money.


• If any of your statistics hit 0 (or go below 0) you will be unable to act within buildings. You are still able to act within Vendors, Merchants, Crafthouses, Vaults and Player Chatrooms. You may need some player assistance, or the help of one of your other characters to get healed up.


• If your fatigue statistic falls below half value, it will be 30% more difficult to pick locks or probe for traps. Keep your fatigue above half!


• If you are trying to pick a lock or probe a trap and see the warning �too complex� this means that you currently do not meet the minimum requirements to continue. Try raising your stats to their full values.


• In order to complete a quest you may need to find an item, and return to the quest-giver. If you find the item and leave it in your vault - the quest giver will not see it in your inventory and will not complete the quest for you. Be sure to have quest items in your inventory when you plan on turning in/completing a quest.


• Level increases are assigned every 1000 experience points earned. Health and fatigue stats are raised 10 points each level, and Strength, Mind and Luck skills are raised 2 points per level.


• Chatrooms heal stats every 30 seconds - so spend some time in a chatroom to heal.

Monsters

1. You'll need a weapon. You can't fight them with your bare hands (yet). There's different types of weapons out there in the world, and you can even craft your own weapons if you find recipes. Buy a weapon from a Merchant, or Vendor. Any item that does damage (Dmg Health, Dmg Fatigue, etc) will work on a monster.

2. Weapons do damage to you and/or your monster - so don't use the weapon on yourself :) To fight a monster, you will be prompted to click a link 'Attack this monster with your...'.

3. Not all weapons are created equal. Some weapons can damage different stats. When a monster has a stat reach 0 (that isn't it's health) it will be incapacitated (unable to attack you, miss constantly). This is great! Free for all on the monster! Just be sure to keep your stats above half.

4. Monsters drop gold, and give XP. Monsters can also drop rare items, and even the weapon they've just attacked you with.

5. Your Strength skill governs what weapon you can use. You can only use a weapon that damages health less than/equal to your current Strength skill level.

Example: Your strength is 15, and you find a wooden club that does 5 damage health - this is fine, 5 is less than 15. You find a sword that does 20 damage health - you can't equip this item until your strength is 20 or higher.

If you get tired of the monster screaming at you, go to Sound Options and turn off Game Sounds.

Once you've defeated a monster, you can cruise around the area and re-enter the room without it coming back. Once you go back to street level the monster will be respawned - so if you don't feel like re-fighting the monsters, try not to go back to street level unless you have to.

Using Items/Weapons

• Rings and potions, you click in your Inventory to use them to raise your stats. Check the items for attributes to see if they heal or damage stats.
  
  
• Weapons you use against enemies, and you will be prompted to attack with a weapon. If you click on your weapon you can set it to be your current weapon to use. You can only equip a weapon that has a dmgHealth value less than or equal to your current Strength stat.
  
  
• Pets don't need to be clicked. When you enter a building area, hold your mouse over your pet to see if he says anything interesting. See Pets section for more info.
  
  
• Resources like berries, leaves, metal bars etc are clickable, but won't do anything for you directly. You'll need to make an item like a potion, ring or tool to be of better use.
  
  
• Recipes, same as resouces, find a Crafthouse to make items like potions, rings, weapons etc.
  
  
• Lockpicks and Trap Probes are essential in the game. You'll find lots of locked or trapped containers, doors etc - always have a few in your Inventory.
  
  

Using Armor

Pets

When you have a pet in your inventory, and enter a building, hold your mouse over the pet and see if it's description changes. Each time you try to open a container or enter a new room - check the pet's description. Pets can give tips and hints about traps, required items etc. Very handy. Or you can click the 'Refresh' link in your Inventory window, this will ask the pet to think up something new.

Clicking on your pet does nothing - except give him a little stroke - which he likes.

Healing Stats

1. Hang out in a Tavern. All world taverns heal all stats 10 points every 30 seconds. Click 'Refresh' in your Inventory window to check to see when you're all healed.

2. Buy/make some potions/rings. There's lots of recipes out there to make different items to drink or wear to heal stats.

3. Find healing items. There are some buildings with free potions, rings etc - but they might be trapped.

Creating a Party

2. To join, click the Join link in your Friends List. To decline, click the Decline link - the player who invited you will get a message.

3. Once you've joined, the join link turns to a Party link. Click this link to pop a new chat window to chat with the other players in your party.

4. To leave a party, click the Leave link. This only makes you leave a party, everyone else stays. Please don't drink and drive!

5. To disband your party (only the leader has this option), click the Disband link. This will remove everyone from your party. Get out!

6. You can/should only be in one party at a time.

7. If you are in a party and go street-side, all the monsters will be respawned for the party area.

8. XP and gold is divided evenly by the number of players in the party (example: party of 4, for 1000xp, would each get 250 xp).

9. The party leader receives all drop items, so it's kinda funny to suddenly have 9 horsemint leaves and you didn't kill any toads....

10. It is possible to go off (split up) and fight in different buildings, and STILL be in a party. XP and gold will still be divided for each kill, but only those who are present at the time the monster dies - will get xp and gold. The leader will catch all your monster drop items - so it isn't worth it really, unless you feel like giving away stuff and getting half xp/gold.

#11: Important: Add yourself to your own Friends List, then if no one joins your party, you can click the Leave link and be able to kill the party instance.

Dueling (PvP)

1. To initiate a duel, you must first be in an arena building. These buildings are seldom found within the world - you may have to ask other players for help.

2. Once you are in an Arena building, click on your Messages icon and view your Friends list. If the person you wish to duel isn't on your list, add them now.

3. Click the Challenge link for the player you wish to duel. They will receive a in-game message from you asking them to duel you and tell them which Arena building to find you in.

4. Click the Check for Opponent link in the Arena building, to see if your opponent has arrived. If your opponent declines your invitation to duel - you will receive a decline message from them.

5. When your opponent enters the Arena building, their avatar will show as an enemy to you, and the duel will begin. Each player dueling is given a chance to attack, and the other player must wait their turn. Click the Check for Attack link to see if it is your turn to attack.

6. As the duel runs its course, you will be able to heal yourself with any healing items you have in your Inventory. Once a duel starts, it can not be called off, unless you click the Cancel link in your Friends List.

7.Once an opponent dies, the winner will receive the following:

• A percentage of the dead opponent's XP, this could be considerable based on how high a level your defeated opponent is. The defeated opponent gets no XP, and does not lose XP for losing the duel - they only lose face, and must live with the shame of defeat.
  
  
• All the dead opponent's gold on hand. The gold will be automatically transferred upon the opponent's death to the winner.
  
  
• As many of the dead opponent's items from their Inventory that the winner can hold. The items will be taken in order from left to right from the dead opponent's inventory.
