Res Sickness-
This is the little skull at the top it will go away with time if you are not near a healer. However if you fight with it on you will be slower and hit for less as it makes you sick and even in real life noone can move well sick.
Battle Grounds-
This is where you learn about RVR (realm-vs-realm), it is your chance to fight those from the other realms on our server at a level where you have a chance to live and kill in turn. Hibernia and Midgard. In the Battle grounds of which there are 3 one for those level 20-24 (Thidranki), 25-29 (Murdaigean), and 30-35 (Caledonia). This is where you will gain your first Realm Points.
Realm Points-
Points earned when you kill another person from another realm. These are gained just like when you get xp, if you hit a person from another realm you will get RP's if they are killed, and if you are in a group and you are within a certain distance of a kill made by a member of your group you will get realm points. So a full group with tanks and mages and healers is best, as healers have the hardest time getting realm points now days they almost have to rely on their group members to help them gain.
Realm Skill Points-
These are given to you at certain times when you reach a certain number of RP's IE: 1st point is given automatically when you log on, 2nd point is at 25 RP's, 20th is at 61,750 RP's. They then can be spent on Realm Abilities.
Realm Abilities-
These are basically a way to make your charecture diffrent from all others in your class. One example is Augmented Strength, its increased strength +6 per level you train they cost 1 RSP, then 3, then 6, then 10, and last 14. for a total of 34 points spent and 30 pts of strength added. Some skills require a certain one first like Master of Arms requires Augmented Strength level 3 which is 10 pts before you can spend one on this skill. REALM ABILITY CALCULATOR
Bounty Points-
These are points you gain only in the main RVR or Frontiers. These points can be used at a bounty merchant to buy specilty items.

Macro Help
The most widley used macro is the stick one, this one is best used by tanks and those fighters who are up close on a mob. To make the macro insure you have a empty spot on your main quick bar, the one you use in combat alot. Then type this:
/macro stick /stick
you will get a button on your mouse that you can stick to the quickbar.
The best one for a wizard, caby, thurgest is the assist key.
This key has to be reset anytime you log out or the person it is set for logs out. Type this where is replaced with the name of the tank you are assisting. This helps alot when you have alot of Mob's that are mezed as the F8 key tends to target the nearest one which may be a mezzed target.
/macro assist /assist
The name is the first name only, pick your biggest tank or paladin as he gets alot of agro.. how to use it..
You will wait till you see he is engaged then hit the assist key, now the target will not show till it takes some damage so its ok to just cast on the creature, this key will only target the mob that the tank the key is set for is attacking. This key is a Casters Best Friend.. It is usually best to wait for it to show the health of the MOB tho, as Caster Nukes hit harder then a Tank, and can get agro fast and die. My wife waits till a mob has lost a definete amount of damage maybe 1/4 or more before she casts to insure the tank has the agro on him solid.
This is a complete list of all houses and their routes. Avalon Marsh is where Abridar's Retreat is and Campercorintin Station is where Lethantis is located.
Next is a few locations most do not know where are or how to get there.
Tepok's Mine - head toward Snow Station or Snow Fort, after you corss the big white Bridge you will see a tower up the road a ways by itself with a few guards on the left side of the road. Jump there. Then put the door to the tower to your right side and head over the hill becarefull as there are alot of goblins there. this dungeon is as bad if not worse on agro then DF.
Keltoi - get to Caur Ulfwych (CU), stand by the stable boy and head SW. it will be along the back side of a big hill. Lots of mobs around so becarefull alot of greens or greys can kill anyone solo.
Dartmoor - Go to Cornwall and go up the road past it to the broken tower on the right side of the road, now put the tower to you back and run up the hill watch for agro again. The first thing you will see is Catacombs stear to your left and you will see a large lone tower. Go to the tower and you will notice off to the right a bit two large hills with a slight valley go into the valley to reach Dartmoor.
Lyonesse - Head out of Cornwall like on way to Catacombs or Dartmoor and stay on the road till you hit the lake and there you are.
DF (Darkness Falls) - Start on the North side of Pryn Bridge and head east its a large keep cant miss it just look to your left a bit.
Lyn Barfog - Have someone show ya its not a easy trip in and its a long one to.
Lady Nimue (Lady of the Lake) - Easiest spot to find here is starting at Camp. Station. head down the road to the left of station till you hit the river. Turn left and follow the river to the end you will see a island at the end of it.. Before you get to it cross the river and follow the water till you see here, but she only spawns at night.
Dur = Durability This will go down as you have a item repaired, when it is so low that a repair will destroy it the smith will not try. And when it reaches 0 the weapon will disinagrate
Qua = Quality of the item. At 50% it will do only 50% of the weapons maxium alloud damage, and take only 50% of a hit on Armor. IE: A weapons max damage is 20 at 50% Quality it will go down to 10. Condition is also firgued into this.
*Note* The game will not allow a item to effect you or one to be used that is at 70% Con. It must be reapaired by a Smith or a Crafter who is high in trade skill. It is always best to not allow your items to get below 90% but dont fix it all the time cause with each reapair the durability drops and it costs money to. Most stick to the 90%-91% area. To have a SMith fix it just hand it to a smith he will give you a cost and ask you to accept or decline. As far as a player with trade skills, you put item in your pack and start a trade, there is a small button marked repair make sure whoever is repairing it has it checked and your money must be in place also. Then you both will hit accept and have to wait for the repair to finish.
