Getting Started

The game can be pretty confusing when you first start, giving no instructions whatsoever. The first thing you need to do is (obviously) create your character.

## **Creating a Character**

The first thing to do when creating a new character is to type "new". The website will ask you for your desired username, this is case sensitive and **cannot** be changed later. Next, enter your desired password; it is case sensitive and **can** be changed later. To do so, use the command *password <new password>*.

The second step is to choose your character's stats. You start with 18 stat points and 1 stat in each area. The game gives you three options to invest your stat points in: Strength, Health, and Agility.

## **What do these stats do?**

Strength: Will grant you 1 strike damage and damage absorb every 5 pounts.

Health: Grants you more health and health regen for each stat point.

Agility: Increases your accuracy and dodging.

You earn 2 stat points every time you level up. Spend them wisely.

## **Best Choices**

For new players, it is best to invest your stat points in Agility as it helps to dodge enemies and you miss less.

After you are finished using your stat points, type "quit" to be taken into the realm.

Once you have done this you should type 'help' for a list of commands, note that most can be shortened down to the first or first and second letter.

## **EXP Farming for Beginners:**

A list of monsters is on the Enemies Page

At level 1, it is recommended to go North and fight Idiot Birds, Evil Squirrels, and Rabid Monkeys. While learning how to fight, and learning the map, be aware that some rooms past these enemies have multiple Squirrels or Monkeys, or sometimes even stronger enemies. Fighting the Rat or Slightly Bad Guy to the west is also possible.

At level 2, you should be able to fight evil squirrels located 3 spaces north then east from town square, and vagrant located 2-3? spaces east of town square.

At around level 4 or 5 it's a good idea to venture out more, try going west of the monkeys, or exploring the streets west of town square. If you're feeling very confident, you might consider going DOWN when you find sewer hatches. Keep in mind that dying will NOT bring you down levels and only reduce your current exp by about 10% and make you drop some of your money and one item.

It is strongly encouraged to TAKE and USE a weapon or armor, if found early on, even if it is poor quality. Weapons significantly increase your ability to land hits on enemies (via the Accuracy stat) and armor significantly increases your ability to dodge attacks against you.

## **How do I level up?**

In order to level up, go 1 space **south** from the Town Square and type "Train". You should get a message saying you leveled up. After that, type "Editstats" and it will take you to a screen were you can add stat points to your stats.

A good thing to remember is that training to level up **does not consume EXP** it only increases the amount needed to level up again.

## **What does strength do? It doesn't seem to have an effect.**

This is because unlike health or agility stats, strength stats don't have an immediate effect on your strike dmg or dmg absorb, it only increases those after (about) every 5 stat points invested in strength. It is good to note, however, that different weapons can increase or decrease your strike dmg, meaning its not stuck as is. It is recommended to use less stat points on strength and better armor/weapons.
