Beginners' Guide
Sustenance
If you do not have any food, there are shops throughout the world where it may be purchased. If your drink container happens to be empty, FILL it at the nearest fountain or fresh water source. If you’ve managed to get the liquid in your container poisoned in some way, or if the container is full of some other undesirable liquid, EMPTY it and FILL it at the nearest fountain or fresh water source (such as a river or stream).
Characters of the FEY race may not drink water for risk of cleansing their characters of the evil ethereal force that comprises their being. In order to quench this thirst, the fey must FEED on another living being or on fresh blood spilled during combat. Additionally, magical blood fountains exist in various rare locations around the world, usually in fairly evil locations.
Resting and Sleeping
If you are tired from running around or fighting, or hurt and bleeding, or low on spell points - turn to nature’s cure-all, rest and sleep.
When you REST or SLEEP, you will regenerate hit points, spell power, and stamina. It is recommended to rest and sleep in a safe location, as sleeping creatures are quite obviously more vulnerable to attack. You cannot fight while resting, sitting, or sleeping, so if you try to do something and the game tells you that you feel too relaxed, remember to STAND up or WAKE.
When you rest, you are essentially sitting down and meditating, but you can see the area and creatures around you. When you sleep, you won’t be able to see anything going on in your room, but you will regenerate much faster than by simply resting. You will also be able to hear the DREAMs of other players, as well as be able to dream a bit on your own.
Getting Help
If at any time you feel lost, or do not understand how to perform an action, do not get discouraged or panic! There are several ways you can get answers to your questions and help.
First you can try the HELP command from within the game, or simply browse the help entries and reference materials available on the website, which will give you additional information on ways of the game. You can also type RECALL and be returned to the Lasler recall room with Brother Rufus at any time if you lose your way and become lost. Going outside of Lasler is not a good idea; you will be relocated out of Lasler by the Powers at level 20, so it is advised you stay in Lasler until that occurs. At that point you will be ready to continue your adventures, perhaps within Rune Forest, which lies due north of the village of Lasler.
Party Up
Upon starting a new character, each adventurer joins the Novice Clan which consists of fellow 1st class adventurers and knowledgeable players. You can communicate with your clannies using the CLAN TALK (abbreviated as CT) command within the game. Type CLAN WHERE and CLAN LIST 7 to see who else is online within the novice clan at that time.
