Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Equipment you will need: These are just some basics.
You will gradually add to your inventory as you get older to get all
the things you need.
NOTE: All items (whether potion, sack, cloak) should all be
runed and cursed. You will need to buy a snowflake rune (so no one
else can pick it up if you drop it accidently or get ordered to drop
it) and an oval rune to protect it from thieves. Cursing the item will
not allow you to remove it or drop it, which is very handy since this
reduces the chances of you losing your items during combat.
|
|
|
|
|
Pentacle Item
|
You will need one of these until you get the spell in your charming
ability. ( type AB CHARMING to see what your last skill is.)
|
|
|
|
|
Web Item
|
Also very handy to have. Most people will have some trouble with web.
This will buy you some time to either get away to heal, or slay the
enemy.
|
|
|
|
|
Handburn Item
|
You will need this when you are in a fight. When you are young, your
skills won't be sufficient enough to do enough damage. So getting an
item charged with handburn will help you to slay your enemy.
|
|
|
|
|
Other Items
|
As you grow older, you will need to acquire these: NULLIFY, HEALHAND.
SUMMON, TRAVERSE, TELEPORT, COMPULSION, and
a few others. These are not that important but will help you in fights.
When in AVALON, type HELP CHARMS to see a list of
the charges available.
|
|
|
|
|
Armour (Both chainmail and platemail)
|
These are probably the most expensive. When you wear them, they
will
|
|
|
|
|
Back-pack or a sack
|
To carry your items in.
|
|
|
|
|
Diffusion Potion
|
Prevents you from being summoned and when shrouded, makes you harder to
locate.
|
|
|
|
|
Health Potion
|
This is very important. You should at least have one if not two. You can
only take a health potion every 30 seconds or so.
|
|
|
|
|
Allheale Potion
|
Heals many afflictions like INSOMNIA, DEAFNESS, ASTHMA
etc.
|
|
|
|
|
Wax
|
You should at least have one runed wax. You need it to shroud yourself
and to fight.
|
|
|
|
|
Pouch
|
This will depend on whether you have the pouch skill in AB SCHOLARSHIP
( read Skills for more help). Pouches
allow you to keep herbs and poisons. If you put herbs or poisons in your
pack, they will fall out when you log off.
|
|
|
|
|
Herbs
|
After you have obtained a pouch and have the skill, you should get ucklice
and iorthir or wirren. These allow you to locate items
and people. See also HERBS AND POISONS
for more help.
|
|
|
|
|
Poisons
|
You don't really need any poisons yet. However later on when you get the
KNIVES skill in AB STEALTH, poisons can become
pretty useful. Also HERBS AND POISONS
for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
Pipes
|
After you have obtained the skill POUCHES in AB SCHOLARSHIP,
you will need to get yourself 3 pipes. One to smoke megillos, one
for arkasu, and the other one for malloran. You WILL need
all of these. Many afflictions are cured with these. MALLORAN
creates an aura of returning, very effective against knights, however it
will disappear when you commit an offensive act or after time.
|
|
|
|
|
You should also learn the way to PATH ENTRANCE (PE) of by heart. PE
is the starting point of most quests and a general meeting place. It is
not that hard as it seems. Once you walk there a few times it will
eventually get easier. When you have some spare time or feel bored, walk
around a bit. Most of the timing exploring can be pretty helpful. Any
member of our guild and citizen of Thakria will be helpful as well. So
if you get lost, and have tried everything to get back, just ask
someone.

|
|
While you are still young, you might as well make use of the FREE
FOOD that's out there when you get hungry. Places like the SPRINGTOWN
MISSION and the CHAPEL in NORTH OGG will provide free
food. These are quite hard to get to, there are many way to get there.
Ask someone to show you the way there. The easiest would be to go
through MERCINAE and from the center there go north/eastish until
you arrive at the JETTIES, from the you can get the ferry ( BOARD
FERRY) and you will be taken to the Quays at Springtown ( LEAVE
FERRY to get off when you arrive there). From there it is north,
then go west until you get to the center of Springtown. Then go north
and type SIT. You will then receive food for free. North Ogg is a
little more complicated and more dangerous, but if you feel adventurous,
just ask someone to walk you through it.
|
|
|
|
|
Being fast and knowing your way around, can make you a very lethal
fighter.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: To get items CHARGED, or potions REFILLED,
you will need a loremaster type to do it. Rumas, who is
Parrian, will most of the time do it for free. Jentar and Skaman
may also help you if they like you and you got enough money to
pay them. They charge about 30 gold for REFILLS. Jentar
will charge defensive items for free. She
will not charge offensive items such as HANDBURN.
