Surviving

Hello newcomer, I bet you just registered and don't know how to play this game!

This game is a bit challenging, not like other games... **the first thing you need to do when you just started the game is to join our Discord Channel** so you can ask for help on how to move in this game. Message or @ Chronicles Admin , The Historyeller or your King/Queen for help. The second is to **survive while you learn how to play**.

Surviving is important, because every character loses 5 Glut and 5 Hydration every day. When either Glut or Hydration are 0, your character will lose 10% Health per day, so in order to survive, you need to Eat and Drink every day, like in real life!

You can obtain food and beverages by:

* Working for the Government @ Governor Palace
* Buying food @ Market
* Voting for the game

The main dashboard for your character is on the right hand side of the playing screen. There you can find a range of different buttons. These are:

### **Character**

Manage skills: This gives a list of the skills you have attained with the option to delete.

Info: This gives character number, number of credits earned, date your character was created, and which kingdom it belongs to.

Roles: Any roles assigned by the monarch will be listed here.

Biography: Here you can write the backstory for your character. You can edit this at any point. There is a limit of 512 characters.

### **Inventory**

This gives a list of items you own, including clothing and shoes. These are also displayed on the outline on the right when you equip them. There is a limit to the number of items you can equip. Personal inventory is 18 slots

You will also find the quality of the items you own. As you use the items, the quality will go down. When the quality reaches zero, the items will become useless. To remove them, you can use the unequip or undress buttons. Replacements can be made, or bought at the market.

Depending on the type of item and where it is being used, you have several actions, such as depositing in another inventory such as your work shop, dump, recycling and unequip.

### **Events**

A list of all your actions for the past 7 days including outcome/reward.

### **Travel**

Opens a map screen with all travel nodes marked.

Underneath the map is a list of places you can travel to, the cost in energy, any modifiers, and then a button to click to travel to the destination. There is also a button to centre on my location if you have scrolled across the map. Can travel walking or moving with a transport

This gives a list of sites where you can vote for Chronicles. You can use each link once per 24hrs, and a new tab will open to the voting site for you to register your vote. The reward for voting is 4 gold per vote, letting you earn up to 12 gold per 24hrs.

### **Messages**

Any messages from other players or game admin will be found here. There is an option to read or delete the message. There are also tabs for new, inbox, and outbox. Messages will remain in this tab for two months. When you open the message, the options to reply or delete appear with the other tabs.

### **Energy**

Green bar showing your current energy levels. These will slowly regenerate on their own at the rate of approximately 6% per hour, and you can add to that by voting for the site under the vote game tab.
