shop picture. In the platinum shops you will be allowed to buy more powerfull
gear and weapon, but for elite money - Platinum! Platinum can to be bought from
official game dealers or traders for real money.
Besides all those
shops you can see in town some guilds.
Guilds have 2 pictures:
- Magic schools. Here you will be
allowed to learn special skills, such as heal, cure, any element and mind with
magic damage.
- Warrior schools. Here you will be
allowed to gain parameters such as might, dexterity and other special skills.
It is only places where u will need to go
for to gain levels.
On the map you can see 2 more places where
you may keep safe your things and money, because when you gain level 10 and if
you get killed all your money and things will stay on your corpse and other
human players will be allowed to loot it from your corpse. So, better do not
take much money and things with you.
Money you need to keep in special location
- bank
. Noone
will be allowed to use your bank account, only you!
For things you will be allow to use inn
. Noone will be
allowed to use your inn, only you!
Also on map you can see bar
, but for you its only peace
zone. Bar is clan inn and you canТt use it.
Town, besides peace zones, has Lawful zones
rest of town. It is a place for you to fight with mobs. Lawful zone has
picture
.
Well, now your client opened, you have
learned what all buttons for, its time to start to play. Now your character is
level 0. For to gain level you need to get experience. Way to get experience is
to kill mobs. Lets walk around town, but donТt forget that you are low level
character yet and will be very hard to fight with high level mobs and sometimes
just not real. Thats why you need to find someone who is just 1-2-3 levels higher than you. All levels are viewable on notice window when you bring
mouse cursor on mob avatar. For example:
- Mouse (level 0). For the victory
over mouse on level 0 you will get 1 experience point. Also after victory you
will get 1 peace of cheese. Cheese can be sold on Dump. For 1 peace of cheese you
will get 1 gold coin (you will need money for to gain levels or to buy gear,
weapons and other things).
- Alley cat (level 1). For the victory
over alley cat on level 0 you will get 4 experience points. After victory you
will have a chance to get collar from mob. It will be automatically equipped on
you. Congratulations, its your 1st gear that you have got from mob.
Now you can get some more collars and then to sell them in Jewellery shop.
- Dog (level 3). For the victory over
dog on level 0 you will get 16 experience points. Also you will have a chance to
get a dog fang that can be sold in Dump with cheese.
Now when you started to fight with mob you
can see that in chat window now not only messages from other human players and
you can see fight log. In fight log you see how much losses you have done in rival,
what special skills or effects were used in fight and how many gold, experience
and what things you have got after fight if you win.
Be careful, some mobs are too high for you.
And you have at start some potions in inventory that will help you to win in
your 1st fights. Use those potions in fight if your health is
getting too low.
While you killing mobs you can see numerals
under map, one of the lines is your experience. It may have white, green,
yellow and red colour.
- White numerals means that you do not
have enough experience for to gain level.
- Green numerals means that you have
enough experience for to gain 1 level.
- Yellow numerals means that you have
enough experience for to gain 2 levels.
- Red numerals means that u have
maximum experience and its enough for to gain 3 levels and if you will not gain
level your experience will not count.
Make decision for yourself how to level up
your character. 3 levels in a row or by 1 level, because if mob will kill you -
you will lose half experience points.
Now, when you have enough gold coins and
experience for to gain level you need to go in chosen school and to push 
in opened window.
Congratulations, you have just gained you 1st
level!
