NOTE: This is a *SHORT* tutorial, giving you an overview of game-play.
More information is available via an in-game tutorial, player assistance, 
and player web-sites with tutorials.


Getting Started
If you are having trouble playing the game (the game doesn't show up, or 
	it gives you an yellow error page) then go to the 
	Trouble Shooting FAQs

The game will take a short while to load, then will see a picture of a 
	dragon and a hero.  Click 'Enter World'.

You are now on the Hero Selection screen.  A default hero named 'Master' 
	has been created for you.  You may select him or create another.  
	Once you have selected, click on 'Play Hero'.

Now you must design your hero.  Pick a race, then assign build points to 
	attributes.  You can pick some of the bonuses if you like, but 
	for your first character try to keep all your attributes at 
	eight (8) or higher.

When finished with design (all build points are used) 
	click on 'Enter World'.

Each time you enter the world, you are waking up.  On rare occasion, 
	there are events which affect your awakening.  Click on 'Awaken' 
	to proceed.

You are now in the Fields near Salamander Township.  You have a small 
	amount of money, so you might decide to shop for weapons before 
	hunting.  You can try Dullahs Shop, or take the Town Road for 
	better shops.

Use your 'pack' button, it is in the toolbar on the right.  This shows 
	your pack and lets you tab through other useful screens.  
	If you have something in your pack that you want to use, select 
	it and click on either 'use' or 'wear'.

In order to go questing, return to the Fields.  Now click on the 
	'Goblin Swells'.  This is a quest area.  You will encounter some 
	creature, usually a goblin.  When you are young, the monsters 
	are relatively easy.  When you are older, you might want to 
	think twice before challenging a large group.

If you get into a fight, you must click on an enemy in order to select 
	a target.  You can attack by clicking on the sword, defend by 
	clicking on the shield, or run away by clicking on the boot.

When you are more advanced, you can learn Gambits.  These are special 
	moves used by trained warriors and wizards.  When you use 
	Gambits you will spend wits - so there is a limit to how many 
	times a day you can try a gambit.

Chat and More Help
Chatting will let you talk to other players.  If you type into the chat 
	bar at the bottom and hit enter, your message will appear locally.

On the toolbar to the right is a tab marked 'Chat'.  If you use this, 
	then the chat area will grow to cover most of the page.  It will 
	also shrink the area again.

You have many command line commands available.  Type /Help to see all 
	the commands you can use.

There is an in-game tutorial available.  Type /Start to read it.

You can change which channel you are speaking on.  There is a small 
	button marked '/t' next to the chat line.  This button opens 
	a menu which lets you select your chat channel.

You can send commands to the 'Novice' channel by typing '/n msg'.  
	You can do the same thing by switching your default channel 
	to /n using the channel menu.

To see other players, you can type '/peer' or '/world'.  The first 
	command shows who is standing nearby.  The second command 
	shows who is in the entire world.

Packs, Shops, Banks, House
On the toolbar is a large button with a picture of a backpack.  
	This will open your pack.  Your pack has five tabs - 
	Pack, Gear, Ring, Stat, Peer.  The first tab shows what you 
	are carrying.  The Gear and Ring tab show what you are wearing.

If you have a piece of equipment in your pack, you can equip it by 
	selecting it then clicking on the 'Wear' button.  If you have 
	food in your pack, you can heal yourself by selecting it then 
	clicking on the 'Use' button.

As you quest, loot is added to your pack.  Examine it from time to 
	time to see if you have found anything useful.  Select an 
	item then click on the 'info' button for more information.

When you enter shops, they are trying to sell you stuff.  There is a 
	switch that will let you say you are trying to 'sell' instead 
	of 'buy'.  You can examine any item in a shop by selecting it, 
	then clicking on the 'info' button.

When you buy an item, a count will appear at the bottom showing how 
	many of that item you possess.

As you quest and  sell items, you will collect coins.  If you travel 
	into town and look for a bank, you can deposit your coins to 
	save for later.  Banks will also let you transfer money to your 
	other heros.  NOTE: You must be level 2 to deposit money.

If you save up ten silver or more, then you can buy a house.  This will 
	let you store items and transfer them to your other heros.  
	Look for the 'For Sale' sign in any town.

Quests, Fights and Skills
Each hero has a limited number of quests for each day.  As your hero 
	gains level, this number increases.  Initially, you will want 
	to play several heros and develop them all.  As time goes on, 
	you will discover why quests are limited.

Quests refresh each day at Midnight GMT.  This is about 7pm EST or 
	4pm PST.  There is a countdown in the upper right corner.

When you quest, you will usually end up in fights.  During fights, 
	you will be shown several buttons.  Sword = attack,  
	Shield = defend,  Boot = Run,  Pack = use item. 

You must select a target before attacking.  Click on an enemy and 
	it will be selected with a red circle.  Then you click on 
	Sword to attack.

As you learn new skills for your hero, new menus will apear.  
	Magic, Healing and Combat skill menus will give you 
	options for special maneuvers.

Skills improve slowly over time.  Each time you use a skill, you gain 
	a 'training point'.  Training points give you a CHANCE for 
	skill improvement, they do not guarantee improvement.

You can learn new skills at Guild Halls, such as the Brotherhood or 
	the Hammer guild.  Also, other players may be willing to 
	train you in your skills.

Harvest, Crafting and Patterns
On the toolbar to the right is a tab labelled 'Zone'.  This gives you 
	access to the 'Harvest' button.  Before you can harvest, you 
	need to train in harvest skills at the Hammer Guild in 
	Salamander Township.

You can harvest three types of materials: Farmer, Miner and Woodsman.  
	When your skill is low, you will get fewer materials and have 
	to deal with more encounters.  As your skill improves, you 
	will get fewer encounters and more bonus materials.

Harvested materials are used with Patterns to craft items.  If you go 
	to the Hammer Guild and look in their library, you can read 
	the basic crafting scrolls.  The patterns listed on these 
	scrolls can be used to craft items.

You will need to train your crafting skills.  Then go to the Craft Hall 
	and select your craft specialty.  Be careful that you are 
	'crafting' and not 'rendering' as these are different.

Once in the proper craft area, move materials and tools into the 
	crafting boxes.  If you have a scroll, you can hasten the 
	proccess by using the scroll for your selecting.

Now you choose to craft slow or fast.  Fast crafting is cheaper and 
	does not use a quest.  This will let you stack up training 
	points.  When you craft slow, it costs more, has better 
	results, and expends training points for skill points.

You can discover the pattern of items by entering the 'Analyze', 
	'Render' or 'Dismantle' areas.  Again, you will need to 
	train your skills to start.  When you successfully pull apart 
	an item, your reward is a scroll listing the ingredients use 
	to make the item.

You can also experiment when crafting.  The basic materials for 
	crafting are very similar from level to level, but there 
	are trace elements that are hard to discover.
