## Generalities

You are a Dwaal, a tiny agent of nature, and with the help of your community we care for the god tree known as **Kwaan** by collecting resources, sustaining an entire ECOSYSTEM of flora and fauna, COLLABORATING and making friends with other members of the tribe... it's up to you to establish a NATURAL EQUILIBRIUM and SAVE THE WORLD!

This is your Bio tab, you can access it by clicking on the sun at the bottom left of your screen. Your Bio provides information about: your name, level, rank, XP progression, Zaaz meter, Miaam meter, Paash meter, and pixel count.

## Level and Rank

Your rank will evolve with your level, at every 10 levels you will rank up. The first rank begins as a **Tadpole** and the current highest rank is a **Wizaard,** obtainable at level 50. Here is how to gain levels and upgrade your rank:

- **Dancing at Wizza's Altar to complete a ritual**
- **Eat dirt and take a Baaf**
 - **Meditate until you Zaazen**
- **Collect Paash coins**
The objective of the current **Taaz** appears on the top left of the screen, just below your clock. If you do not complete the **Taaz** during that day, your progression will be saved for when the **Taaz** becomes available again. You'll be able to continue right where you left off, so no worries.

    Every level grants you skill points (SP), but most importantly, every 5 levels, you'll be able to buy a new Haat at the mirror in your room to customize your Dwaal ! Aren't they cute? :-)

## Zaaz, Miaam and Paash

Each of those meters can be filled up and have different effects. If you log off, you'll keep your level of **Zaaz**, **Miaam** and **Paash**.

The **Zaaz** meter is filled by Meditating. A filled meter means you "Zaazen". A Zaazen Dwaal will see things differently compared to the other Dwall. **You can learn more about Zaaz here !**

The **Miaam** meter is filled by eating dirt. Once filled, your Dwaal will be... different. You'll need to take a Baaf to recover your size. **You can learn more about dirt and Baaf here !**

The **Paash** meter is filled by collecting **Paash Coins**. Once filled... well we don't really know right now. We'll let you know when we do! Anyway, **you can still learn more about Paash here !**

## Pixels

Pixels bring life in **Kwaan**'s world!

You can find pixels and use them to draw. Create **Flowers**, grow some new branches on **Kwaan**, or just paint on some free drawing walls.

You can get pixels by doing quests (received from **Paaloma**, **Dimitri** and **Gino**), opening treasure chests, opening gifts in **Kwaan**'s branches, and collecting pixels dug up by grubs.

This icon tells you you can draw here.
If you click on it you'll open the pixel editor. If one of your pixel counts is empty, you won't be able to draw using that group of colors.

## Summoning

After the Dream, you'll be tasked to summon your first **Crit**: The **grub**.

You'll get the basics very quick. First, you need the right **items** to summon whichever **Crit** you want (in this case, a grub). Next, go to your **Crits** tab from the Sun icon on the bottom left, select the **Crit** you want to summon (again, a grub), and click on summon. If it's not working, make sure you're in a suitable place to summon a **Crit**, and that you have to right items to summon that **Crit** (for a grub, you'll need a leaf, an apple, and 2 **Maana**).

You guessed it, you need grass to summon a **Crit**. Some **Crits** can only be summoned underwater (like fish and crabs and a green floor will be needed too).

It will cost 2 **Maana** for any **Crit** you'll want to summon.

You will need to spend SP to summon new **Crits**. You can do this in your skills tab.

## Emotes

As a Dwaal you can use emotes. There 5 different emotes at the moment, and 2 of them are locked. We don't know yet how to unlock them. So, let's talk about the first 3 emotes!

### Dance

*Twist is our first expression. Shred these false truth, feel your body go.*

You'll need to dance at **Wizaa**'s altar with other Dwaals to complete **rituals**.

You can also dance at some **Maana** Shrines. When you dance in front of them, **Maana** will increase slowly. The more Dwaals that are dancing, the quicker the **Maana** increases. A full **Maana** Shrine has all of the symbols filled blue, while an empty **Maana** Shrine has all of the symbols filled gray. As the **Maana** Shrine is used, the symbols will slowly be filled with more gray.

### Meditate

*Observe, observe. Everything that is born one day will fade. Breathe.*

You can **meditate in front of meditation spots**, which look like 3 small stones stacked in a column. Go there, meditate, and wait... keep waiting... yes! You gain some "**Zaaz**".

Check your bio tab from the Sun icon to see how your Zaazen is. The more your Zaazen bubble is filled, the more you'll see new things. Try it out!

### Eat

*The world is full of garbage, one solution: eat it!*

You can eat mounds of dirt until you're full. Select the magnifying glass and view the soil tab to check the dirt level in your area. Dirt level must be above 0 to be eaten. **You can learn more about Miaam and dirt here.**

## Inspecting

You can inspect the world with the magnifying glass of you main menu. This icon can be used if you are on grass. When you click on it you'll be able to see all the **crits** on this patch of ground :

It's also a way to interact with **crits** by offering them **items**. You have to select a **crit** and an **item** on your inventory then click offer.

With the **Flowers** tab, you'll be able to see all the **flowers** on your patch of ground :

You can offer them items too. Maybe some water ? :-)

And lastly, you can check the **dirt level** with the Soil tab :

Dirt is created by **items** left on the ground. With time, they will rot. The more **items** rot, the more dirt you'll find and **items** will rot and disappear even more quicker. Higher dirt level also lowers the looting rate of Crits. Keeping a low level of dirt will also help to keep items on the ground longer.

Here is a big pile of dirt.
How to get rid of it? Eat it of course!
