Potion Wars FAQ - For Potion Wars _____________________________________________________________________ Written by DarkCecil13 Updated 11/27/06 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION NUMBER ONE - Getting Started -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.1 Registering Your Nickname 1) Connect to the IRC Network irc.enterthegame.com on port 6667 2) Join the channel #coolness 3) Type "/msg Aurous register " to register your nickname. 4) Type "/msg Aurous identify " to identify yourself with Aurous. This is done so your character remains secure, and no one else will be able to play it. 5) Whenever you join #coolness, you will have to identify with Aurous. 6) For a large array of Aurous commands, type "/msg Aurous help" 1.2 Starting A Character 1) In #coolness, type "!potion". This will tell Aurous to open a DCC Chat with you. Accept it. 2) In the DCC Chat with Aurous, type "!potion". This is how you progress through the game. Your character walks around and finds potions of many different types. 3) Type "!stats" to find out your statistics. This is like going into the status menu in conventional RPGs, such as Final Fantasy X. 4) Now, you're probably wondering how to go through 500 potions without typing "!potion" 500 times straight and destroying your wrist. You can type "!potion " to speed through your potions. 5) While you watch your character find potions and drinking happily, you will notice that you are finding gems. Gems can be traded in to buy Elixirs. Elixirs do various things to improve your character. You can type "!gems" for a listing of elixirs you can buy. You can find out an elixir's effect by typing "!gems stats " If you find something you like, go right ahead and trade for it by typing "!gems trade " 6) Now that you're done potioning, you can check the list of players and see if anyone is alive that you can kill. Type "!players" to see this list of players in your range, or type "!players a" for a list of all players. Type "!stats " to see the stats of another character. If you see someone that you could kill, then the next part will be fun. 7) Open up the #coolness window, and type "!attack " to attack that person. If you look at your stats, you will notice that your "Player Fights" have been reduced by one. You can obtain more Player Fights by trading in for an "Elixir of Hate", elixir number 3. You can stop attacking a person by typing "!stop" in #coolness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION NUMBER TWO - Terminology -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 The Attributes 1) Defense - Lowers the amount of damage done towards you 2) Strength - Increases the amount of damage you do against your opponents 3) Agility - Decreases chances of missing; Also improves your chances for doing high combos against your opponents 4) Vigor - Further increases your damage; More potent than strength; Good to have against high-defense opponents 5) Luck - Increases your chances for finding higher quality potions; 100 luck is average 6) Constitution - Increases your chances for doing SLAM attacks 2.2 Lingo You MUST Understand 1) Combo - A higher combo generally increases your damage against your opponents.
