chapter 1 "Basics"
|
|
|
|
The first thing to do is to pick a decent character. The best
|
|
all-around choice for a beginner is a human mage, so for the
|
|
purposes of these cheat sheets, pick human when you create your character.
|
|
|
|
Once your character is created, begin the game by typing: enter town
|
|
|
|
You should now be in the main village of the game, where you can find
|
|
shops, pubs, a bank, and most everything you'll need. Get familiar here
|
|
with the basic commands:
|
|
|
|
look
|
|
look at tower
|
|
go north
|
|
go south
|
|
smile
|
|
|
|
You can also type them in a shortened way:
|
|
|
|
l
|
|
l tower
|
|
n
|
|
s
|
|
smile
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, learn a little about yourself. Type:
|
|
|
|
score
|
|
stat
|
|
|
|
(Note that you will have to hit <enter> to get to the second page of the
|
|
stat command.)
|
|
|
|
These commands tell you some things about yourself, like how much food you've
|
|
eaten, what skills you have and how good you are at them, and other
|
|
attributes, like how strong you are how smart you are, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the game you will need to do some fighting against monsters, and these
|
|
pieces of information will help you decide the best way to fight which
|
|
enemies. For now, since you've chosen human, you are probably smart but
|
|
not very strong. Let's try to fix that, because fights usually go
|
|
better if you are strong.
|
|
|
|
Every new player has 15 customization points when they join (this only
|
|
happens once), so make yourself stronger by adding customization
|
|
points to your strength, for example:
|
|
|
|
customize strength 5
|
|
|
|
If your intelligence is below 50, you definitely need to increase it too,
|
|
if you're going to be a mage. You usually want a strength of at least 30 and
|
|
an intelligence above 50, preferably above 60, for casting spells.
|
|
|
|
Ok, next, let's get you equipped for exploring. If you're lucky, someone has
|
|
left stuff in the church bin. Go to the church:
|
|
|
|
go west, go north (or w for west, and n for north)
|
|
|
|
From this point, directions will be given like this:
|
|
|
|
1w, 1n
|
|
|
|
Meaning, in this example, go west once, go north once.
|
|
|
|
Now:
|
|
|
|
look in bin
|
|
|
|
Hopefully there is a bunch of stuff in there but if someone else got
|
|
there first, you will need to get equipped on your own, without the
|
|
church's charity. For the purpose of this guide, we'll assume you didn't
|
|
find anything there.
|
|
|
|
Let's get started with your first quest: Cave Explorer I
|
|
|
|
Go from the church to the Adventurers' Guild:
|
|
|
|
1s, 2e, 1s
|
|
|
|
This is where you go to get info on questing and other stuff. There is
|
|
a charity bin here too, check it for helpful items. The important thing
|
|
to do here, though, is:
|
|
|
|
read list
|
|
|
|
This tells you the list of quests available. Did you see Cave Explorer I?
|
|
We're going to go solve that one right now!
|
|
|
|
1n, 5w, 26n, enter cave
|
|
|
|
You'll notice that you walked through a big forest just then. Don't try
|
|
to explore the forest yet, you could get lost. Just go straight north,
|
|
and go fast, because if you accidentally run into an orc, you do *not*
|
|
want to hang around and wait for him to start hitting you.
|
|
|
|
If you goof up here and do get killed by an orc, well, we might as well talk
|
|
about death now. Death takes away a few of your experience points, which
|
|
isn't good because you need them to go up in levels. Definitely avoid
|
|
death. You can avoid losing those experience points by being resurrected,
|
|
but that takes getting the help of another player and we can discuss that
|
|
another time.
|
|
|
|
For now, just know that if you get killed, you need to: regenerate
|
|
And you will rematerialize in the start room.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, hopefully you did not die and you are now inside the secret cave
|
|
in the forest, and you have completed your very first quest. That was
|
|
easy, right? You might even have automatically advanced a level or
|
|
two. Congratulations! The next quest will be harder, and it is the Orc
|
|
Slayer quest.
|
|
|
|
By the way, if that room was too dark to see, come back later with a flashlight
|
|
or a torch. There is interesting writing on the door, and on the wall. And,
|
|
of course, a powerful and convenient teleportation device sitting right
|
|
there on the floor.
