All Commands

Usage: command [optional-argument] <required-argument>

An "argument" is something you type after the command. For example, if you type open door, "open" is the command and "door" is the argument.

If you're not required to type in an argument, but you could if you wanted to, it's called an optional argument and it appears in square brackets in the command-usage description.

If you have to specify an argument, it's called a required argument or mandatory argument and it appears in angle-brackets in the command-usage description.

If you can specify either of two options, they are separated by a vertical bar (|). For instance, you can type close door or close <direction>. Either kind of argument (a door or a direction) is acceptable. We use the vertical bar symbol to mean "or", so the usage description for close looks like this:

Usage: close [direction|door]

The argument to the "close" command is optional (since you can type close with nothing else after it and it'll still work), so the possible arguments appear in square-braces.

General Commands

All commands which don't really have a place in the other categories but are still useful.

adjust

Adjusts the position of an item in your inventory.

This allows you to switch items around to make them show up in the order you want them to appear. The inventory positions are numbered, starting with number 0 in the first or top position.

As with many other game commands, if you have more than one item in your inventory with the same name, you can put a number after the name to say which one you want to move. For example, if you have 3 rings, "ring 1" is your first ring, "ring 2" is your second, and "ring 3" is your third. So adjust ring 3 0 would move the third ring to the top of your inventory. After that it's "ring 1", meaning it's now the first one in your inventory, if that isn't too confusing.

If you give a position less than zero, it always goes to the front of your inventory. Similarly, if you specify a position larger than the size of your inventory, the item moves to the end of your inventory.

Examples:

adjust platemail 3 (moves platemail into the 4th inventory position)

adjust harp -10 (moves harp to beginning of inventory)

adjust sword 2 0 (moves your second sword to beginning of inventory)

adjust key 1000 (moves harp to end of inventory)

Usage: adjust <item> [number] [position|up|down]

Synonyms: (none)

again

Performs the last command you typed. For example, if you enter cast wizard lock, and the spell fails, you can type again to cast the spell again.

The default alias for this command in the client is 'g'.

Usage: again

Synonyms: repeat

alias

Creates a typing shortcut. If you find yourself typing the same thing over and over, you can create an alias for it.

Some people would argue that you can't play Wyvern effectively without using aliases. They can save you a lot of typing. You can chain together a bunch of commands that you use frequently and bind them to a single keystroke.

If you're not actively entering a command (by pressing Enter), all the keys you type get sent to the server. This means you can use any key on your keyboard to create an alias. You can use combinations of the alt, shift and ctrl keys on your keyboard to create a truly enormous number of personal aliases.

To create a multi-command alias, separate each command with an semicolon character (';'). For example, you could create an alias to switch weapons by typing alias shift.6 unwield sword ; wield bow. When you type the "^" key (hold down shift and type the 6 key on your keyboard), it would send the commands unwield sword and wield bow to the server.

Note that we use the terms "hotkey" and "alias" more or less interchangeably. The server considers them to be the same thing. The only real difference is that a hotkey is always a single keystroke, such as pressing '3' on your keyboard. You could just as easily type Enter, followed by 3, followed by Enter again to send the alias to the server. There's no difference as far as the server is concerned. For aliases that are more than one keystroke (such as 'e7c'), you have to press Enter, type (for instance) e7c, then Enter again to send it.

Many keys on the keyboard have special names for aliasing purposes. For example, the Page Down key on your keyboard is called page_down in the alias command. To use it for a hotkey, you'd type alias page_down <command>, for instance alias page_down put sword in scabbard. The following table lists the special key names.

Keyboard Key	Special Name
` (backquote)	`
left arrow key	arrow_left
up arrow key	arrow_up
right arrow key	arrow_right
down arrow key	arrow_down
Scroll Lock	scroll_lock
Num Lock	num_lock
Print Screen	print_screen
Page Down	page_down
Page Up page_up
Home	home_key
End	end_key
Insert	insert_key
Delete	delete_key
Escape	escape_key
Function Keys	f1 through f12
Number Pad keys (with NumLock on)	number-1 through numpad-9

If you want to alias a shifted key, such as capital-'A' (shift-a) the % symbol (shift-5), you have to specify it by putting "shift." in front of the unshifted key. For instance, to alias the "%" key to "get wand", you'd type alias shift.5 get wand.

Similarly, for control keys and alt keys, you put "ctrl." and "alt." in front of the key. The order is important. "ctrl" always comes first, then "alt", then "shift".

If you're not sure about the name of a key or key sequence, just type it. It'll get sent to the server, which will tell you something like "Unknown command: alt.shift.escape_key". Then you know what you just typed is called "alt.shift.escape_key" to the system, and you can use it to create a hotkey.

To see one of your aliases, type alias plus the alias with no other arguments. For example, to see what you have the number 7 aliased to, type alias 7.

There are several default aliases in the game already — for example, the 'hjklyubn' keys are aliased to the movement directions. Similarly , 'o' is 'open', 's' is 'search' and so on. You are free to override the built-in aliases if you want, but make sure you have *some* keys that will move you!

Note: there are certain keys that you can't use in your aliases. For example, at the moment you're not allowed to use double-quotes in your aliases, so you can't say: alias foo "say hello". The system will automatically strip the quotes out of the alias if you try to put them in. We should be able to fix this at some point in the future. (The only other disallowed character at the moment is '@'.)

Examples:

alias wb wield bow

alias wb (shows you your alias for 'wb')

alias ga get all from corpse

alias 7 ready spell dragon breath

alias 8 ready spell death ray

alias 9 cast invisibility

alias escape_key quit

alias shift.8 get all from purse of holding

alias alt.shift.page_up shout aliases are cool!

alias f6 unwield sword ; remove helmet ; wear wizard's cap ; cast magic whip

To see all your current aliases, type alias with no arguments. To remove an alias, use the unalias command.

Synonyms: (none)

autobag

Lets you put items into bags automatically when you pick them up.

You can find detailed instructions on this command in the Wyvern Autobag Command Manual.

Examples:

autobag list

autobag list 2

autobag rename 4 "new name for rule"

autobag delete 3

autobag adjust 5 1

autobag shortcut arrows

autobag shortcut reagents

autobag into "quiver" where name like "arrows" call rule "arrows"

autobag into "drop item" where item is cursed call rule "drop cursed stuff"

autobag into bag1, bag2 where ((type is treasure) or (type is armor)) and not name like "cloak" call rule "treasure and non-cloak armor"

Synonyms: (none)

autograb

Lets you specify what items to pick up automatically as you move around.

Autograb all means to try to pick up everything. Autograb magic picks up books, potions, scrolls, wands, rings and amulets. Autograb missiles picks up arrows, bolts, sling stones and other missiles. Autograb treasure picks up gems and coins.

Autograb magic grabs books, potions, scrolls, wands, rings and amulets

Examples:

autograb treasure armor food

autograb all

autograb none

Notes: Your settings are saved across sessions and unpaid items will never be automatically picked up.

Synonyms: (none)

brief

Turns verbose-mode off. The opposite of this command is verbose, which turns it on.

Usage: brief

Synonyms: (none)

Action Commands

All commands which you can use to interact with something in game.

apply

Applies an item. It's basically "using" the item in whatever way the item can be used.

This is one of the most commonly-used commands in the game. It's the way you enter buildings, use stairs and teleporters, ready/wear/wield items, and do quite a few other things.

The apply command is so common that there's a hotkey bound for it: 'a'. If you walk over an item and press the 'a' key on your keyboard, the client sends the command apply to the server as if you had typed apply yourself.

If you don't give it an argument, it will try to apply the topmost item in the square you're standing in.

If you give it the name of an item to apply, it will look for an item matching the name. Partial matches can apply, so if you're trying to apply your sword, apply sw will work, as long as the sword has "sword" in its name. (Some swords may have special names like "Dragon Blade", and apply sw won't find them; you'll have to type in something like apply Blade).

Some items in the game can be applied; others cannot. If you're not sure, try it.

Usage: apply <item>

Synonyms: (none)

appraise

Tries to figure out the condition or value of an object.

Some races have special appraisal skills; e.g. elves can automatically appraise bows and arrows, dwarves and stone giants can appraise gems, and so on.

If you don't have any special appraisal ability, the appraise command will either tell you nothing special, or in some cases it will give you a rough idea as to the overall condition or deterioration of the object.

Examples:

appraise sword

appraise diamond

Usage: appraise <item>

Synonyms: (none)

cast

Casts a spell.

You can see what spells you currently have active by typing cast list. You can dispel any spells you have active using the dispel command. If you have a spell readied using the ready command, you can cast it using the fire command.

Examples:

cast knock

cast fireball north

cast earth wall 17 10

cast polymorph other at orc

cast detect magic on gray stone

cast magic mouth with-args Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here

cast list (shows your active spells)

Usage: cast <spell-name> [dir | x y | [on|at <target>] | [with-args <args>]]

Synonyms: (none)

Notes: You have to know the spell in order to cast it. Some spells require certain reagents to be present in your inventory. Directional spells go in the direction you're facing if you don't specify a direction. Some spells require you to specify "with-args" to pass some information to the spell.

Shop Commands

All commands related to shops, including trading with other players.

buy

Buys an item from a shop or another player.

You have to have enough money to pay for the item in order to buy it.

You should examine an item (with examine <item>) before buying it, so you can see if there are any level restrictions.

You do not have to be in a shop to buy something from a player. You can read more about player-to-player sales on the Safe Trading System page.

Usage: buy <item> [from <player>]

Synonyms: (none)

buyback

Buys an item back.

If you sell an item accidentally, you can recover it using this command. You have to have at least as much money as you got for selling the item. The transaction will give you your item back, and deduct the amount of money you got for it from your wallet.

This command only works until the shop resets. Once the shop (or the game) resets, you will no longer be able to get your item back. To avoid selling things accidentally, make sure to use the keep command on equipment you want to keep.

Usage: buyback <item>

Synonyms: (none)

gems

Turns money into gems of specified value in a bank. This command is only available while standing on a coin or gem converter. The only things in the game that require gem conversions are the enchant weapon and enchant armor spells, which require diamonds and rubies (respectively) valued at 1000+ gp for each casting. Since these spells are much less useful than crown enchantment, there's not much point.

Only supports a few gem types: ruby, sapphire, amethyst, diamond, emerald, pearl are known to work, while most or all other gems (even gems that can be found while training) can't be created this way.

Examples:

gems 1 ruby - spends 1000 gp to create a single ruby worth 1000 gp (the default value) for the enchant armor spell

gems 100 diamond 1000 - spends 100000 gp to create a hundred diamonds worth 1000 gp each for the enchant weapon spell

Usage:

gems <number> <type> [value]

Synonyms: (none)

list

Lists the items available in an auction house. This command is only available in auction houses. For shops, see the command 'shoplist'.

Many auction houses have lots of items for sale, and you may only want to see a subset of the items. For instance, if you only want to see the swords or perhaps only magical items. You can type list match to see only the items that match what you typed as match.

For example, list sword will only show the items with "sword" in the name.

Examples:

list sword — only shows swords

list + — only shows magical items that are + something

list o — shows all items that have the letter 'o' in them

list of durability — only shows items with a durability enchantment

Usage: list [match]

Synonyms: (none)

offer

Offers an item for sale.

This command allows trading to happen safely. The seller's item and buyer's money are exchanged at exactly the same time. You can read more about the Safe Trading System in the Player Manual.

If you only specify a price, then anyone can buy the item. If you specify the name of a player, then only that player can buy the item.

Prices are always in gold coins. You can put "k" on the end to multiply the number by 1000.

You can stop offering something using the rescind command.

You can change an offer by offering it again with the new terms.

You can specify the "to <player>" and "for <price>" command arguments in any order.

All sales are final. The seller can't unsell the item, and the buyer can't get a refund for it. If both parties agree that they want to undo the sale, the buyer has to sell (or give) it back to the person who sold it.

Usage: offer <item> for <price> [to <player>]

Examples:

offer sword for 100

offer mithril axe for 15k

offer bag 2 to rhialto for 1700

offer trenchcoat for 100 to bobmarley

Synonyms: (none)

order

Synonyms: (none)

rescind

Rescinds an offer for an item.

If you've offered an item for sale, and you no longer want to offer it, you can rescind the offer.

If someone has already bought the item, it's too late to rescind the offer.

After rescinding an offer, you can offer it again if you like.

Usage: rescind <item>

Examples:

rescind sword

rescind mithril axe of dexterity +9

Synonyms: (none)

refund

Returns an item you bought in a shop for a full refund. This allows you to try an item out to see if you like it first.

There are certain restrictions on returning items. The most important one is that you can only get a refund for an item until any of the following happens:

You quit the game
You put the item in your vault
The game server resets (or crashes)

In other words, you can return any item you've bought for a full refund as long as the item hasn't left the game.

The shop will check to make sure you are the person who bought the item. It won't give the refund to another player.

The shop will refund you exactly what you paid for the item, even if your merchant skill changes between the time you bought it and the time you ask for a refund.

Usage: refund <item>

Synonyms: (none)

sell

Sells an item to the shop.

This command is only available in shops.

You don't automatically sell an item if you drop it in a shop. You have to explictly type sell <item>.

Some shops may not be interested in certain items. The price you get may depend on several factors, including your charisma, the location of the shop, the type of the shop, the condition of the item, and possibly others as well.

If you sell something accidentally, you can unsell it.

You can type sell all to sell everything in your inventory that isn't kept, worn, or wielded. It won't sell your coins, and it won't sell containers with items in them.

Examples:

sell sword

sell sword 2

sell master wizard's reagent pouch

sell #17

sell all

Synonyms: (none)

shoplist

Lists the items available in a shop. This command is only available in shops.

Many shops have lots of items for sale, and you may only want to see a subset of the items. For instance, if you're in a weapon shop, and you only want to see the swords, or perhaps only magical items. You can type shoplist match to see only the items that match what you typed as match.

For example, shoplist sword will only show the items with "sword" in the name.

Examples:

shoplist sword — only shows swords

shoplist + — only shows magical items that are + something

shoplist o — shows all items that have the letter 'o' in them

shoplist of durability — only shows items with a durability enchantment

Usage: shoplist [match]

This command should only be used in dire need. People will see it like a normal shout, but it will print "screams" instead of "shouts", making it rather uncomfortable for people to look at.

Abuse of this command will result in administrative penalties.

Usage: emergency <message>

Synonyms: (none)

Note: This command is only available for giant characters.

Removed Commands

All commands which don't seem to be used by the game anymore but are kept for legacy.

~~monitor~~

Turns hit-point or spell-point monitoring on or off.

If you have monitoring turned on, whenever your HP or SP change, it'll print the new value in your client. This is usually only useful when you're connected with the Telnet client, since the graphical client has graphical HP and SP monitors.

Usage: monitor <hp|sp> <on|off>

Examples:

monitor hp on monitor sp off Synonyms: (none)

~~mousebind~~

Configures the way your mouse buttons work.

Currently, you can only change the way your left mouse button works, for clicking in your inventory window or in the ground window. We will add support for more options in the future.

By default, left-clicking on an object examines it. You can change it by giving an option to the mousebind command. The options are:

mousebind drop-only — the left mouse button will drop items from your inventory, and looks at them in the ground window.

mousebind get-only — the left mouse button will pick items up off the ground, and looks at items in your inventory.

mousebind both — the left mouse button drops items from your inventory, and picks them up from the ground. This is the way the game used to work by default, so many players are used to it.

mousebind off — the left button looks at items on the ground or in your inventory. This is the game's current default behavior.

Typing mousebind by itself will show you help for the command, and your current setting.

Usage: mousebind <off|get-only|drop-only|both>

Examples:

mousebind mousebind off mousebind drop-only mousebind get-only mousebind both Synonyms: (none)

~~password~~

Changes your character's password.

Usage: password <old-password> <new-password>

Notes:

If you've forgotten your character's password, you can request a new password on the website.

Synonyms: (none)

~~refresh~~

Refreshes your views on the client.

This command forces the server to resend all the information to your client — the map view, ground view, inventory view and stats display. It comes in handy if for some reason the client and server get out of sync; however, it shouldn't happen under normal operation of the game. If it happens to you, please report a bug.

Usage: refresh

Synonyms: (none)
