As one would in the real world, you should not head out on your adventuring without being properly prepared. Be sure that you have a supply of food, a container with water in it, and a few sources of light with you. Nothing stops an adventure quicker than being thirsty and hungry and standing in the dark during the night, unable to see your way around!
As you begin killing the mobs, you may find a gem in the corpse. These gems can be collected and then taken to one of the realm's gem dealers and sold for gold. You can look in the gem help file for more information on them.
The major cities of the realm have banks in them. It is a good idea to keep your excess gold in the bank. The banks also have vaults where you can store items. See the vaults help file for more information. Any gold you have on you is in danger of being stolen either from a player thief, or a mob thief. And speaking of thieves, any item that you are carrying in your inventory is available to be stolen by a player thief. It is a good idea to get a belt pouch or a backpack to wear to keep your valuables in. It also frees up your hands to hold the loot you take out of the mobs you kill.
There are shops in the realm that you can buy pets or mounts from. You can store your pets/mounts in the stables around the realm for a small fee when you are not using them.
There are many ways that you can personalize the information you receive from the game...you might want to look up the help files for (prompt) and (config) to see how you can do this.
If you come across something that you need to know about, there's a good chance there is a help file on it. Try typing "Help (item)" for the item you need information on.
Lastly, have fun!
That is the main goal of our realm to be a place that we can all come together and have fun.
