Gameplay
How do I level?
A player levels by gaining experience (XP) by killing monsters. Some monsters will give more experience than others. For example, killing a skeleton will grant more experience than killing a sheep.
Can I lose XP?
Yes. A player can lose XP dying. However it is possible to regain the lost XP by using a Scroll of Resurrection or the Resurrection machine. Bear in mind that the scrolls are rather costly and will most likely be out his/her price range at lower levels. In addition, some monsters are able to drain XP. A scroll of restoration will partially restore the lost XP.
Why do I keep dying?
There are quite a few ways a player can die:
- Drowning
- Standing on fire or lava
- Poison
It is highly recommended to upgrade gear and train skill points in order to increase a player's survival.
How and where do I train skills?
Skills can be trained at a Skill Trainer. Skill trainers can be found in specific buildings. For example, the Healing skill trainer is in the hospital in New Verden as well as in other hospitals. A list of Skill Trainers and locations is provided on the wiki. The more points you put into the skills, the more expensive it will be.
How do I make money?
Generally, gold can be made by killing monsters and taking the loot. It is best to repair the loot at a blacksmith before selling. In addition, investing in a few points in the Merchant skill can help significantly. Please view this guide for more information.
What does it mean when it says my items are cursed?
Having cursed items in your inventory means you cannot sell them to shops, and if you are wearing gear that is afflicted, you cannot unequip it. Some monsters have the ability to curse items in your inventory. The spell is distinguished by red stars. In order to remove the curse, the player may uncurse at an Uncurse Altar or use the Uncurse Item spell.
Items can also be damned. The effect cannot be removed by an Uncurse Altar. Instead, a scroll of remove damnation can be used. It is recommended that one not equip items that are cursed or damned.
Can I play with other people?
Yes. You may "group" with another player as long as he or she is within five levels of yours. A group has a "leader" and a follower(s). For example, Player 1 wants to be the leader of the party. Player 2 can use the command "follow Player 1" or simply click on Player 1 and choose "follow." Player 1 will then use the command "group Player 2" or click on Player 2 and choose "group." Both players can cast spells/buffs on each other if they choose to do so.
