NEWB guide?

[Miss.Elizabeth]

Is there a guide for absoulte newbs anywhere? I'm comptely lost. I have no idea what the buttons are or how to do anything.

[Orochiramaru]

Press F10 in the game.

[silverequiem]

press f10 in game it tells u that RIGHT WHEN U GET INTO THE WORLD!

[CallistoNTG]

Hooray for learning the hard way!


But seriously... first press "I" (I am assuming you already chose a server and are playing) and equip your sword/staff/bow/whatever by dragging its little icon in the bottom area of the window to the... right hand? Maybe it works on left too...


To move, either use the "wabc" (or something like that) buttons on the keyboard or click on an area ahead of you on your mouse.


To target an enemy, click on them.


Tho stab/shoot/zap the enemy, press the "1" button to autoattack or click on them again to manually attack.


To rotate the camera, keep the right mouse button pressed and drag the mouse to where you want the camera to be.


Someone please take over from here. Thanks.

When you pull up the log-in app there is a box in the center titled "News _ Notices" (gray header and outline directly above where you enter user-name) - look there for a link to Beginners Guide.

Oof, Please..I know you mean well, but please don't try to help others when you get the information wrong..its the WASD keys..you don't want a newbie to hit C thinking it'll move him, then have him screaming out to everyone about how he's frozen in place..

People seem afraid of the interface. I have no idea why. Just go off somewhere and try everything.Left click them, right click them, Shift+click them ,etc.Check**EVERY icon, you will be amazed at what you learn.**OJT( On the Job Training) is by far the best way to learn it.


I don't mind helping people, but they have to put forth SOME sort of effort to help themselves first.This " I don't know what to do, So I won't do anything" attitude needs to stop.Over the last few days I have seen some pretty dumb questions asked.Not knowing how to interact with a merch NPC? Can't figure out how to sell items? Come on folks, this isn't rocket science!*I am starting to think this newest batch of invites are not the brightest stars in the night sky.


If you can't figure out the basic's of the interface/game on your own do you really need to be playing?


* I know this sounded mean, but it wasn't directed at anyone in particular*

[SimOne]

What about skills?


How I understand, the craft skills rq additional scrolls for each kind of object (potion, material etc.) ?


Where get points for "Empower spell" ?

[Shokaah]

Same as SimOne, I don't know how to "empower" a skilL (I got 3 points to do this).


Another question : how does the collect interface work ? (the gauge with the bar in it, when you collect mushroom for instance)


Answer to SimOne : yes, to learn new skills, you need to buy scrolls at Rumen for instance (Skill Master Ruby), then learn them from Inventory.

[Trebori]

*Skill empowering*


At the bottom of the screen you will see a "skills" tab. click it. on there will be a "empower" tab click that. Now take one of your skills that you want to empower and put it in the slot at the top. Now you can use the arrow keys(up or down)next to each empower*to increase/decrease* that skill. You will notice a little red dot will appear on the skill in the window.mousing over the skill will show you how much it adds to the skill.You can raise and lower these at will. UNTIL you finish the empowering. *When you are done finish out and that skill has been empowered and the points will be deducted from your empower points.

[SimOne]

Another question - what about horse riding


if "run-o-meter" fall to zero, what I shall do?


Just drop? Or what will be if I sell the "horse"


Or "recharge" by somthing?

[Nekovivie]

Keep these questions coming. Other newbs, namely me, are learning from them. I have MMO experience and so I ran around a lot to explore. But the interface is different. I'm used to being able to view my character from behind as she's running. Instead of odd angles. :P Once I had to log off because I couldn't even target the ground and was stuck on permanently playing Peeping Tom with my girl! LOL





Killing slimes is tricky too, as a mage. It took me a couple of fights to figure out exactly how to cast the spell she has..although now it seems painfully obvious. But being HP stones is a tad expensive...does money drop off mobs? OR is there a good way to gain more money at level 1-2? I was thinking quests, but I haven't talked to any NPCs other than the initial two.





Ok, yea, I rambled. But even so, you can see the kind of issues new players may have. Right-clicking and targeting where you want to look isn't always as easy as it seems. Silly though that may sound. Let alone crafting and stuff. I can't wait, to be honest. Exploring new worlds is such fun.





Tips and tricks are always welcome from those who have gotten used to the interface. :D

[Trebori]

@SimOne


Buy "floatation stones" from the same merchant you bought the horse from. Click to summon your horse, then right click the stones to feed it. That will refill it's meter.

[SimOne]

Thx.


Also question...


Yeserday fiesta just fallout, screen resolution remain from game, and where I should post such things.


WinXP Home SP2 , Fujitsu-siemens AMILO Pi1536,


1.6 GHz Duo, 512 RAM , ATI Mobility Radeon 1400, ADSL 2048/256kbps

[Trebori]

It does that to most people, just the way it is right now until they fix it.All part of beta. I have never been in a beta that doesn't have stability problems of some kind. Nature of the beast so to speak.

[redfang]

i dont no where to mage train


 

[Trebori]

@Redfang


Do quest to get started.

[Sw0rdf15h]

xD "not the brightest stars in the night sky", haha too true!

[Danor]

ok I bought a skill and learned it in the inventory. But where in the world are these skills stored and how do you use them in combat. like fighter skills

[Mudman2005]

@Trebori





When I empower a lower level skill... do i get refunded the points when i buy a higher rank of the skill? OR do they simply apply those points toward the higher ranked spell?





I assume that it would do something like this so that higher level players arent gimped by what they did as a newb.

[nellshini]

The points affect every level of the skill.

The skills are stored in the skills menu. It's one of the icons near the bottom-right of your screen. After you open it you'll see active, passive, and alchemy skills. Skills used in combat are active. Skills that always apply and you can't use are passive. And skills that you use to make items are alchemy skills.


To use an active skill during combat, drag the skill by clicking on it into one of the hotkey slots on the bottom left of your screen. Then, when fighting a monster, simply press the key that the slot designates (usually between 0 through 9) or right click the slot that the skill is in.


Passive skills are bought the same way as active, except once you use them, they always apply.


Alchemy skills are a bit tricky. You can only specialize in two out of the five available. So choose wisely. They can help you make money and end up giving you buffs through scrolls or upgrade stones or potions, or raw materials.


There's everything you need to know about skills

@Mudman2005


Nellshini answered. They carry over to higher ranks of the skill
