Getting Started

Useful gameplay tips

Small tricks that make a big difference: hotbars, critical hits, potions, travel scrolls, parties, fishing breaks and using the wiki.

  • Put potions on your hotbar. Drag a potion to the hotbar (or Assign Slot) and use it with 1–6 in the middle of a fight.
  • Open with a critical hit. The first hit on a monster at full health, and any hit from behind or the side, does 50 % more damage.
  • Team up in threes. In a party, every member on the same map shares each kill. Two members get half each, but with three or more members everyone gets more experience than a solo kill (four thirds each with three members). See Parties.
  • Carry a Scroll Of Recall. It takes you home from almost anywhere (250 gold at the Aeven Grocery).
  • Use #loc. Type #loc in chat to see the map number and coordinates you are standing on; quest steps on this wiki use the same coordinates.
  • Take a fishing break. Fishing at the docks is safe, earns steady gold and every few minutes a fishing spot moves to a new place.
  • Get a pet early. The Missing Kitten in Aeven gives a Cat that heals you when your HP is low.
  • Check drop tables before farming. Every monster page shows exactly how likely each drop is. Remember that one kill gives at most one regular drop.
  • Become a citizen. Answer the innkeeper's three questions to make a town your home: you respawn there and can sleep at the inn. See Citizenship & inns.
  • Keep an eye on events. Seasonal events like Halloween bring limited items and pets that are gone when the event ends.
