Beginner Help

Hello, this section is to help out beginners.

• Here we do not use the terms newb or noob or newbie or any other form of those words to describe new players because they are derogatory to new players.

Ok as everyone should know you start on Isla Prima. There are many good things right on that first island before you go on the boat.

---

• Until your attack or defence lvl gets to 17 you can be healed by the tutorial npc if you get hurt. and when you start you probably will.
• When you start out there is a good way to make money called harvesting vegetables at (87,167) and then taking those on a little walk to the tavern (67, 129) and you can sell veggies for .5 gold pieces per veggie. that may not sound like much but every little bit helps :).
• It is a good idea to do the quests that the tutorial npc gives you because you get good xp and he will give you a sword and armour upon completion. (some of his quests will take you off of the isle.)
• The first and only creature you should attack at is the rabbit. You may be able to take on rats or beavers but if you wanna keep the stuff they drop and not lose a lot of health i recommend rabbits. Then when you get a few lvls of attack and defense you can fight rats and beavers. Although there are brownies and deer on the isle i don't recommend fighting them because you will almost surely die.
• Remember to eat or your health won't replenish. Eating is more and more important as you progress through the game. If your food lvl goes below 0 it will take you longer to harvest also.
• If you ever have questions in the game you can always type #jc 2. That will make you join channel 2 which is the General Help channel and everyone there is nice and helpful to all who ask of them.(Remember not to quote the wiki as its not official)
• In the game before you go to other places using the boats i recommend you talk to the npc Lasud (62, 137). She will tell you info on other lands.
• On the isle there is a good place to harvest rats in a cave at (41, 71). Rats spawn in there with an endless supply and it is a good place to fight them in a closed space.
• No creatures on the isle will attack you unless you attack them first. This is not true in most of the lands beyond.
• When you leave the isle pay close attention to the clock telling night and day at the bottom right of your screen because many of the lands become much more dangerous at night( between 3:30 and 0:30 game time). At night evil creatures come out and will openly attack you even if you are in a town and even in some buildings.
• If you do die you go to a place called the underworld. There is nothing there but scenery. Just head north and then to the center northmost part. There is a door there that takes you back outside. It is lighter near the door as a hint you are getting close. When you go through the door you end up at (97, 139) by a lamp post and a fire on Ilsa Prima. Sorry that is the only place it comes out no matter where you die each time.
• If you see someone die and you remember their name you may pick up their stuff and private message them and tell them you have their death bag. Do not just run over take the stuff and leave. That is called bag jumping and our guild frowns on that greatly.
• You private message or pm by typing /(player username) (message). Also to speak in a channel you type @ (message).
• Money does not weigh anything but almost everything else does. When you go on the boat to White Stone you can goto the storage (468, 423) in White Stone. Talk to the female npc Raven to open the storage. When at storage or harvesting it is considered common courtesy to sit while you are there so others can talk/harvest also.
• If you ever want to get back to Isla Prima at (97, 139) by the lamp post and the fire just type "#beam me up" or "#beam me" (no quotes). That will teleport you back except for on scotties vacation. (see special event list)
• We all hope everyone who plays the game has a great experience and a great time.

• Having trouble opening a creature's bag? Is it under the snow, under water or is the dead body just so big, you can't get to it? - easy solution. Just drop something. The bag window will open for you automatically.
• Windows stuck on the edge of the screen? Switch to fullscreen mode and back again. This usually shakes them loose.
• Fine tune the your characters position; use Ins/Del to turn left/right and Home to move one pace forward
• Press alt-b to display health points underneath a player's name
• If you intend to remain stationary, sit down and use sit-lock (enable it from the controls tab in the options window) this will prevent your character wondering around if you accidentally click in the wrong place. (The character will not move while seated)
• Buy an excavator cape (the brown one) as soon as you can. It costs 2900 gc and can be bought from Victor in White Stone City. Wearing the cape will double the amount you harvest. It will pay for itself in no time.
