How to play BrawlQuest

BrawlQuest (as the name implies) is a game all about brawling and questing! This is the only game where you can both brawl and quest in a 2D environment.

On this wiki page you will find a guide explaining how everything works and how to level up as fast as possible!

This page is still a work in progress! some information will be missing.

## **Controls**

Starting off with the controls they are relatively simple, standard WASD controls.

Attacking: to attack monsters simply press the arrow key in the direction you want to attack and press **H** to hold your attack (if the setting '"H" to hold' is set to true).

To open your inventory either hover over the left side of the screen or press **E.**

To hide the UI press **TAB.**

To use an equipped shield press **LSHIFT.**

To craft or smelt use **E** at the related station.

And finally press **Q** to open your quests menu.

## **Stats**

Every level you gain (maximum 40) while give you stat points which can be invested in three stats: **STR, INT,** and **DEF.**

After levelling up, hold your cursor over the big flashing "... Point(s) Available button, you'll see 3 options

* **STR:** increases maximum melee damage by 1 point per stat point invested (**NOTE:** Melee damage calculation is (weapon damage + 1 to strength)
* **INT:** increases potency of spells per stat point invested
* **DEF:** Increases HP by 10 point for every stat point invested (not 15 as the in-game tooltip incorrectly notes)

## **Resources**

BrawlQuest features many different types of resources which can be found under the "Reagent" and "Other" tabs of the inventory.

Resources can be collected in all sorts of ways, from mining, questing and killing enemies.

*HINT: Resources are THE way to craft items and progress in the game so make sure you collect plenty.*

Some important resources include:

* Stone
* Metal
* Pelt
* String
* Wood
* Mana Crystals
* Old World Crystals
* And more!

## **Crafting and Smelting**

Crafting and smelting are crucial parts of BrawlQuest as they allow you to access stronger gear and new playstyles.

To smelt ores, simply find a forge and press "E" when close to it.

Smelting your ores allows you to craft new gear!

To craft in BrawlQuest you need to find an anvil and press "E" when close to it.

Crafting requires all sorts of resources, check out the Weapons and Shields and Armor pages to find what you need to craft each weapon, shield and armour set!

## **Weapons, Spells and Armour**

Weapons, Spells, Shields and Armor are really important

## **Starting off your journey**

A good and simple way to start off your journey is by first exploring Squalls End(the starting town). After this kill some off the mobs to the east of Squalls End and mining some wood and stone.
After getting level 3 and a few stones and such go to the blacksmith in squall's end and make yourself a Sharpened letter opener. After that head North-east and kill bandits until you obtain the bandit's blade and cloak, these items should help you start off your journey.

## Mounts

Mounts are a great way to get around map quicker, they can be obtained in various ways from quests to boss drops. Each mount moves at same speed except for the horse, which moves slower as its the easiest mount to obtain.
You can also make a boat by crafting it to travel on the water.

## Orders

Orders allow you to use better gear, ranging from tougher armor to stronger staffs. You can select a class in the south of Squall's-end at the Recruiters.

There are 3 orders: Mages, Warriors and Stoics, each of these orders has there own downsides and benefits as seen below here.

To select an order, talk to the Scientist Man below the Recruiters and interact with the green figure in a dome. You are able to change your order at any time but all order reputation will be lost.
