Subject: general startup guide
well im pumping everything i know at this game into one guide..well everything that comes to mind atleast!
1st the basics:
exp(experience)- this is gained when u win a fight... any fight be it against a monster, a player or an animal
gold- gold is the most basic form of currency in the game
u will need it to get by in the game...
Gold(in hand)- u need it to get items off the markets or from the shops
--->if u have the gold and still cant buy something, it is coz ur gold is in the bank lol
now u have to be careful when u put gold in hand becoz there is a custom search in the upper ven which shows people in order of gold in hand. gold in hand can be taken from u in battle
Bank- this is the safe deposit of yr gold.. the gold in bank cannot be stolen
tragically, the bank does not give interest...
Platinum-u need platinum(plat) to get skills in the chamber of wisdom and to get tokens from the platinum shop.. u will also need them at the blacksmith (above lvl 30)
platinum can be found i the forests or bought and sold in the markets
Helix-1 helix can be used in the helix mines to give u 30 energy
50 helix can be used at the HCC to give an increase of 1-10 MAX energy.
Sapphires-they are damn expensive and there uses are gven in the shadow castle. 50 sapphs can be used at the SCC to get a boost of 5-35 to ap
--->the best use according to me is restore training turns
Elements-they allow your character to go up or down a level. you do not get ap if u use it to go up though
Overview- a view of yr char which gives all yr details
Inventory- use this to equip the items u have bought
logs- a list of what has happened to yr char
westland- the main town which will take u every where in the game
upper ven- the place to go for pvp combat
--->u might wanna do a custom search of the ven which gives the option of listing ppl according to the gold they have in hand
wizard ruben- go to the wizard ruben to heal (blue when u need to go)
clans-a link to LDS
bank- the place to go for depositing withdrawing money from the bank
yr friends- a link to the ppl on yr friend list, basically there for easy access
training facility- the place to go to train yr stats, probably the most important area in the game. use all the turns well and as many times as possible
the more u train the stronger u get. this is as for starters a training turn gives abt 1.2 AP which means in one and a half days u can have the 3 ap u get for lvlin up
hence stay at a lvl for a long as possible and get strong
---> training returns also decrease as u train more in a lvl so do lvl up! best to do it when training returns hit 2
outposts- here u get tokens with which u can buy food/drinks at the drinks shops
---> DO NOT store tokens at yr outpost coz they will be stolen.. use them in upgrading yr outpost or in buying some grub... let the turns stack up to the max( at reset) and use them together rather then every revive
chamber of wisdom- use platinum to gain skills here
jousting barracks-(for subscribers only) u can joust here
with all the possible moves there in real jousting
u joust against birds, bats etc..
great arena- entry for lvl 50+ ... hrere u fight againt monsters for rewards
---> u would wanna be strong otherwise u will get beaten to a pulp! + there is a small entry fee of 500g
fishing shack- fishing is the best source of income in the game...
for equipment, get strong rod, 1 sturdy line and 1 large hook
use small hooks and maggots for max gold
use large hooks and brollies for max fishing experience which in turn will increase ur fishing casts
--->u will want to get a rig as soon as u can afford it coz it will allow u to catch much more expensive fish
fishing casts= fish u catch (except when the fish swim away, that is mentioned)
blacksmith- for custom weapons above lvl 30.. these weapons do not add stats but only power
slated hut-for those who are willing to shell out 1.35 million for getting 1.2k for a platinum
red lobster- optional side quest..explained very well in the game discussion
loligo caves- after the red lobster
grady shack- spy on, kill a player

player search- search for a player

great hall- list of game staff
shopping district- buy sell items here
--->u might wanna check the rates in the markets too, they are cheaper mostly
--->for rings it is advised that u get stat boosting rings and not energy rings
the rest of the map can be figured out by simply clicking see details in Westland


now stats:
strength- the damage u do in normal attacks and some skill based attacks (eg-fireball, earth eruption, poison dagger/arrow, flaming soul etc)
defense- decreases damage from strength based attacks and has a lesser but sure effect on wisdom based attacks
agility-determines how fast u attack..also decreases damage from wisdom based attacks
wisdom-needed to use skills and to increase the damage done by most magical attacks (eg- ice shower,imperium)

i say that rounded stats are the best but this will tell u which class needs which stat to be more

thief- most important stats are strength and agility
(stealth is a deadly skill)
after that come def and wisdom

swordsman-most important stats are str,agi and def
(flex and shield are very good skills)
after that is wisdom

mage-most important is wisdom and agi
(focus and ice shower are deadly together)
a few skills depend on strength so strength is important too
last is def


archer-strength and agility are important
after that wisdom and last defence

acolyte-all stats are important
defense, wisdom can be slightly low

NOTE-u will want to go to account and put yr experience tax to 90% so u level up slowly
for skill configurations i will have to see your stats


i might have missed something.. but its a long guide so tell me if u have any suggestions
