Beginners' Guide

Once you have created your character, you will be in the first classroom in the Village of Lasler.

A black cat will greet you upon entry into the game as a new player - it is a good idea to let him show you how to achieve basic interaction with the game through his tour.

After the tour, you can follow the direction trail for additional lessons and the chance to train your skills and learn to communicate with others. Most of the information presented there is covered in this guide. However, don't forget to read each room's descriptions, as they can offer many helpful hints!

When you leave the classroom, you will find yourself in the Valley of Lasler, a wilderness area. If you follow the High Road north, you will come to the Village of Lasler. But traveling isn’t all that you will do - along the High Road, you will find a preacher of Gath, a grieving mother, a novice lutomancer, and a down-on-her-luck Ogre nomad. All of these NPCs will give you a quest to work on!

Take a stroll through the Village once you arrive, as you will find all kinds of stores that sell weapons, armors, food, etc. The shopkeepers will greet you with a warm welcome, and tell you how you can view what is being sold, how to buy and sell, and how to get information about each item being sold.

Once you achieve 20 levels of experience in Lasler, you will be transported to another city that depends on the class you have chosen when first creating your character.

Type WHERE to see who else is currently in Lasler with you, and type CLAN WHERE to see the other members of the Novice clan.

Type SCORE to view your current stats, and EQ to view your equipment.

Type INV to view your INVENTORY, and LOOK BACKPACK to see what’s inside your backpack.

If you wish, you may say a greeting to your fellow clan members by speaking on CLAN TALK, for example: clan talk Hello!

Next, you might consider making a couple of set changes, as suggested below:

• SET AUTOLOOT ON SET AUTO-NOURISH OFF
• SET AUTOSAC ON COMBAT AIM TORSO
• SET AUTOSPLIT ON
• COMBAT MODE BRIEF or COMBAT MODE NORMAL (your choice)

Each time you gain a level of experience, you will be auto-assigned additional hit points, spell points, stamina points and practice points used to further train your attributes, train your vital statistics, or practice your skills. However, these additional states cannot be increased through training!
