 Now
is the part that starts with the registrated version. Right now, you should
be strong enough to travel further. Go to the Red Dragon Inn in GreenTree.
Talk to the bartender. Earlier on, he might've ignored you if you are still
at Level 1. Now, conduct business with him. In all major cities with lodging,
someone in town is a cornerstone to an underground delivery system. The
bartender is GreenTree's. The amount it pays is random, according to your
Quest Points. If you ever forget who sent it, or where it was meant to
be delivered, you can check the given item in your inventory. For
now, only take a Quest from him to PortTown. Now leave the city, and travel
five kilometers north to [PortTown Gate]. Get in and go straight to the
House `O Fish. You'll have to conduct business to Smithy to get paid. It'll
also give you +1 Quest Point. If the delivery was made within the same
day, you'll get an extra, such as a gem (to be traded only at the Red Dragon
Inn by the bartender), or a random stat raise. You have a limited amount
of Quest opportunity per day, regardless of where you are, which is determined
by the Sysop. If you have some left, you can check if Smithy has something
for the bartender in GreenTree. |

While
you're in the House `O Fish, you might as well buy a Fishing Rod. There
are a couple of spots where you may fish. Regardless of where you fish
and how much time you spend at each places, you have a predetermined amount
of fish that can be caught, randomly calculated at the beginning of each
new day. The closest place to start fishing is two kilometers south from
PortTown, at the [Fishing dock]. Go to the end of the dock, you'll be ask
if you want to fish. If you are actually wandering, you've got one hell
of a problem. OF COURSE YOU WANT TO. Casting close or far doesn't change
glitch. Neither does not catching anything on that cast. You'll sometime
get a bite and reel a Salmon. They are worth $50 at the House `O Fish (though
worth $100 if you buy them), or you may keep'em for healing. If you're
lucky, you'll get a bite from a large fish. If this happens, their are
chances the line breaks. If that happens, your Fishing Rod is intact, and
you may retry. If you reel it in, it'll be a Sparkling Green Salmon. Those
are worth $250 when you sell em to the House `O Fish. Note that you may
not sell fish elsewhere, including pawn shops. |

Ok,
you must now manage to get $5500 saved up. Once you do, get a Pirate Hook
and a Skull Helmet from Ye ol Mart in PortTown. Once you've got them, get
out of the city. Travel three kilometers west along the [Jagged Beach].
Starting that third screen and further, you'll fight thougher enemies than
before, so make sure you're strong enough. From that point, travel two
kilometers south to the [Forest gateway]. Go along the edge to the river,
you should find water you can walk on at the tip, and be able to walk up
the waterfall. On top, you'll find a Moonstone. Travel back to the [Jagged
Beach], and train until even the Giant Scorpions can't hurt you anymore.
This is a more frequantly used area for training and passerby, so don't
go too far, and get healed at PortTown as soon as you need it. If you end
up under 400 turns left, consider leaving at going to the Sea Hag's Hotel
in PortTown. If you're a horny motherfucker, you may always keep some money
to get a whole for $25. But don't forget there's a chance out of five of
getting infected by VD (which stand for Vitual Disease, you moron). |

In
most of the world areas where you may have encounters, you have random
events too. One of which is a Dragon Tooth Clan battalion. In such a case,
you may hide, listen to them or ignore them, but don't, under any circomstances,
insult them. It's a whole battalion with a leading officer, they'll kick
your ass. Their use is that you may travel with them to their island, if
your evil enough. That'll be useful later on, after you've won the game
as a good guy. There is also two Dragon Tooth Clan warriors raping a girl.
The choice is obvious here: join them and losing alignment while getting
laid, or kill them to make XP and cash and gain alignment. You may also
come across an injured person which you may help out to gain alignment
or kill to lose some and gain a bit of money. Then there are traveling
folks who will heal you if you spend a bit of time with them. Also, there
is a dark robed priest who will sell traveling potions for $500 which when
taking it, will warp you to a random place in the known world. |

Another
possible random encounter is a hooded figure, seeling parts of what he
calls a SkyStaff. There are four parts to it: the bottom, middle, top and
gemstone. When you encounter him, he will offer you a random part for $100.
The part he has to offer is regardless of the parts you already have. Remember
by heart the part you already have, for buying a double of a part you have
won't help, will waste your money, and you'll be stuck with it unless you
find another player who wants it. It may take time to get all four different
pieces. If you run across him with the right part, but you don't have the
cash, you're the sucker, 'cause he won't give you a raincheck, you'll have
to keep your fingers crossed for next time. Once you do, you may assemble
the SkyStaff in your items, and you'll be warped to [Cloud City], where
a nude slut (aka a female Koshi) with wings awaits you. You fucking pervert,
you selected "Look at her", haven't you? You'll only see her face. Steal
the Cloud Sword from the table and get her to warp you back to a proprer
point of the game, wherever you were at when you finally got all the pieces.
Note that assembling it a second time won't give you a second Cloud Sword. |

Now,
you'll have to be patient. This is one of the boring part of the game.
To continue on and be/stay the strongest, you'll have to train in the desert,
until you've accumulated a whopping $40000. You see, that's the price of
a major domain you just gotta have. Keep fighting, raising level, doing
deliveries, fishing, and raising alignment through randem events until
you manage to get all the cash togetter. Now get to PortTown or GreenTree,
and conduct business for the direction of FlagCity. Once you do, don't
take the boat there, it'll be more profitable for your XP and your wallet
to walk your way there. When you're ready, walk through the desert along
the [Desert River] in the southern part of it all the way to the end. |
