## **Beginners Guide**

Are you new to *Alotic*? Then you've come to the right place.

The purpose of this guide is to help you take your first steps in Alotic. Throughout this guide, we will explain a lot of things a new player on Alotic needs to know such as; creating your account, customizing your character, interacting with various people and objects, and much, much more! However, as it has already been mentioned, you will be interacting with other players, of which runs security risks. So before you start playing Alotic, we encourage you to read our Game Rules which can be found in the Rules section below.

If you need further help or have more questions - check out the rest of the wiki or join *Alotic*s In-game help clan chat "*Alotic*". There are plenty of players willing to help you out. You can also make a thread on the forums , under *Alotic* "In-game questions & help " board.

## **Rules**

Like every RSPS, Alotic has rules also. These rules are not to make the game harder for you, or to annoy you - they are to protect you. Please, adhere to them at **all time** - it makes the game better for everyone. The official rules can be viewed below. It's very important that you read them carefully. If you accidentally break one, then it could result in you being banned or muted by one of our game moderators - depending on the severity of your offense.

#### **Reporting abuse**

If you see someone breaking one of these rules, you ought to report them to our staff members. If everyone reports abusive players, the game will be a better place for everyone. You can report abuse by one of two methods. The first is to click the "Report abuse" button ingame which brings you to the forum section "Report an Alotic player", where you can fill in a report ticket that will be handled by one of our game moderators. The other method is to navigate the forums and make your way to the "Report an Alotic player" section. It's a simple thing once you've familiarized yourself with the forums.

#### **Make use of the Ignore list**

Please, only send in an abuse report if the player is genuinely being abusive, not just because they called you a 'noob'. If the person annoys you or continues to annoy you, simply add them to your ignore list rather than responding.

#### **In-game Staff members**

**Note:** All Alotic staff members have a crown next to their name. Any player who does not have a crown next to their name and claims to be an Alotic staff member should therefore be reported for staff impersonation.

    **Moderators**

*For a brief description of what these staff members do, see SoulPlay Staff Rank explanation .*

**Moderators have a Silver crown next to their names when they talk ingame. Alotic Moderators** are Alotic players just like you, except they have been selected by the Managers as being responsible members of the Alotic community to enforce rules. They are extremely community involved staff members and are generally easy to get in-touch with.

    **Administrators**

*For a brief description of what these staff members do, see SoulPlay Staff Rank explanation .*

**Administrators have a Gold crown next to their names when they talk ingame.** Alotic Administrators are Alotic players just like you, except they have been selected by the Managers as being responsible members of the Alotic community to enforce rules. They are community involved, but their main job is to handle larger ingame issues that moderators need assistance with, so they aren't as easy to get in-touch with.

    **Managers**

*For a brief description of what these staff members do, see SoulPlay Staff Rank explanation .*

**Managers have a Gold crown next to their names when they talk ingame.**Follow all their instructions promptly and you will have no cause for worry. Their main job is to manage the entire staff team, from moderators to administrators and they also handle ingame promotions and demotions.

Let's move on to account creation.

## **Step 1 - Your Account**

Disclaimer: If you've previously played the server **Soulsplit** or **Soulspawn** you can skip this part.

####

#### **1. Downloading the SoulPlay Network**

Before you can start playing *Alotic*, you first need to download the SoulPlay Loader which contains the aforementioned servers (**Soulsplit** & **Soulspawn**) and **Alotic**.

#### **2. Loading the Game**

This may take a while the first time loading it, so be patient. If you have any issues like a black screen, it may be because of the cache not fully loading.

#### **3. Making an Account**

After the game has loaded for you, you should get to the login screen. If you don't have an account on **Alotic**, **Soulsplit** or **Soulspawn** you are required to sign up, and you can do that by clicking on 'Create Account Now .

This is very easy and shouldn't take long. All you need to do is choose an account name and a password (make sure it's difficult to guess so you don't get hacked) and a valid email address (to keep your account secure).

If you get the "*Not creative enough! Somebody else already has this username....*" message, then your desired username has already been taken - simply try another one until you get the message "*Congratulations, you have a good taste! The username is yours!*".

After you've chosen your ingame appearance , you will have the option to choose between four different builds .

1. 50 Attack Pure (50 Attack, 70 Strength, 1 Defence, 70 Range, 1 Prayer, 70 Magic and 70 Hitpoint)
2. 60 Attack Pure (60 Attack, 70 Strength, 1 Defence, 70 Range, 1 Prayer, 70 Magic and 70 Hitpoint)
3. 70 Attack Zerker (70 Attack, 70 Strength, 45 Defence, 70 Range, 52 Prayer, 70 Magic and 80 Hitpoint)
4. None of the above. (Level 3)

Choose wisely, because the build you choose will be yours forever. And that's it! You've successfully created an *Alotic* account!

"What other activities can be found on Alotic?"

## **Achievements**

    **Achievements**, commonly referred to as Tasks, are small challenges that players may complete in order to earn rewards or the completionist cape. By opening the Achievement tab, a player can view a list of all tasks on Alotic. They are broken down into four difficulty levels; easy, medium, hard and elite. In the Achievements tab you will find a selection of tasks that are categorized as Easy, Medium, Hard and Elite achievement tasks. The tasks can be clicked on for details. These details include a task description, reward and in some cases, requirements. Finished tasks are in green text. When you haven't yet begun an achievement task, the name of the task will appear in red. Below you can find a task guide for the achievement tasks currently available in the game.

1. Easy Achievement Tasks
2. Medium Achievement Tasks
3. Hard Achievement Tasks
4. Elite Achievement Tasks

####  **Completionist Cape**

The **Completionist cape** is the best cape on Alotic, and is awarded to players who have completed the achievement task '**Completionist'**.

In order to complete the '**Completionist'** task, you have to completed all the achievement tasks in the achievement diary tab beforehand, including the '**Maxed Out'** task, which requires you to have 99 in all skills on Alotic (excluding Dungeoneering and Construction).

####  **Trimmed Completionist Cape**

The Trimmed Completionist cape hasn't been formally added to Alotic although the cape exists in the game.

The four players who have the cape have achieved it through dedication and hard work. The cape requires you to have a total experience of **4.6B**, which is 200M in every combat and non-combat skill available in the game. Mod Edu (Alotic Developer) has mentioned that the actual reward for getting 200M experience in all skills, is only the title 'Master of Alotic', and not the Trimmed Completionist cape.

**3. "How can I train skills?"**

*For an article about skills on Alotic, see Skills .*

    Skills are the heart of Alotic. Players have access to 22 skills on Alotic and skill levels are gained when enough experience is gained in a skill. In turn, experience is gained by practising a skill or doing achievements/mini-quests. The higher your level, the more things you can do that are related to that skill.

#### **Experience rates**

The **Combat** experience rate for combat is x450 for non-members, and x500 for members. There is an option where you can change your combat experience rates to x1, x10 or to the default x450 (if you are a member, you can also change it to x500). Once you reach 99 in a Combat skill the experience rate changes to same as the skilling experience rates; x10. There is no option to change this back to x450, unless you reset the skill back to 1 (only goes for Defence, Attack and Prayer).

The Skilling experience rate is however much lower, set to x10 for non-members, and x20 for members. Unlike Combat experience rates, once you reach 99 in a non-combat skill, the experience rate doesn't change and remains at x10.

**4. "How can I make money?"**

    Making money on Alotic is easy and there's plenty of different ways to do it. Below we have just mentioned a few money making methods.

#### **Voting**

You can vote for the server once every 12 hours on ::vote (ingame command) or by clicking here . Voting is an easy way to make easy money as it only takes a few minutes and gives you a total of 100 vote tickets each vote.

#### **Slayer**

Using the Slayer skill to make money is a good way of making quick cash on Alotic. Players starting slayer should seek the highest slayer task accessible to them from a Slayer master (Mazchna), as hard tasks come with increased difficulty, which generally give more experience compared to their lower counterparts. It is highly recommended that players learn how to make a Slayer helm as soon as possible to train slayer more efficiently.
