| [[Image:equip900.gif|frame|An animation showing how to equip.]] You've spawned in Tulimshar for the first time! Congratulations and welcome to the Mana World.

|
| You gain levels by killing monsters. Killing monsters is what you'll be doing most of the time, so you'd better get used to it. You can either click on a monster, or target the nearest one by pressing "A" and "Ctrl" to attack. It is a lot easier to beat a monster if you target and press "Shft" and "Ctrl" together. This will make you attack automatically as long as you don't move.
| | This page will give you some gameplay hints and tips. |
|
| |
|
| NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) are characters on the server. You can easily recognize them by their grayish blue name. You can click on them to talk to them. Some of them have quests for you to accomplish, others will sell and buy things from you, and some will heal you. If you walk to the right and down through the gate from where you start out, an NPC named Elanore will heal you for free until you get to Level 10. Note that If you attack by holding down the Ctrl key, you can heal by clicking her at the same time. This should help you speed trough those first 10 levels by fighting fire goblins.
| | ==Raising your Stats== |
|
| |
|
| Once you've killed a monster, it dies and looks dead for a few seconds. It may drop an item. You can stand on top of the item and press "G" or "Z" to get the item. If you want to use it, it is in your inventory. If you can't use nor equip it, it might be a quest item or a useless item. Useless items can be sold to the NPC Neko, or any NPC that buys and sells items. Although the prices of the items they sell vary, they always buy from you at the same price. These prices are listed thoroughly on [[Item reference]].
| | When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please between the various [[Stats]]. |
|
| |
|
| After you've killed enough monsters, you'll have enough Skill points to get job level 3. Either press F5 or click "Skills", select Basic, and click "Up" three times. For the moment only basic skills are implemented in the game, and only the first three levels have a function.
| | ===Classes=== |
|
| |
|
| [[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]] | | The Mana World doesn't have any set classes, instead skill points can be distributed as you like to make up the character you want. The basic "builds" are [[Warrior]], [[Archer]] and [[Mage]]. They are based on their level, statistics, skills and equipment. Beginner characters until around level 10 are a basic warrior class, which is the simplest build, allowing you to get familiar with the game. |
| *'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions | | *'''[[Warrior]]''' uses melee weapon or sword to fight. For more details visit [[Warrior]]. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Level 3''' enables character to sit | | *'''[[Archer]]''' uses a bow to fight. For more details visit [[Archer]]. |
|
| |
|
| Press "S" to sit. This makes your automatic recovery go faster. You can also hold "Alt" and press any of the numbers 1 through 9 to emote, or show an emoticon above your head.
| | *'''[[Mage]]''' uses magic to fight and heal. For more details visit [[Mage]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Raising your stats== | | ==Magic== |
| When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please among the various stats. Essentially, only two routes are beneficial in the long term, and the community refers to them as Warrior, or Melee, and Archer, or Ranged.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''INT''' increases your base MP used for [[Magic]].
| | See the article named [[Magic]]. |
|
| |
|
| ===Warrior=== | | == Tips == |
| The Warrior is more difficult to train as it eats up 33% more stat points than an Archer, and is more vulnerable to attack from monsters. However, the Warrior has the greatest potential for making money, because there's no need to purchase arrows. The weapon of choice for a Warrior is a Short Sword.
| | {{Note|To be added.}} |
| | |
| *'''STR''' is important to increase the base damage of the Short Sword's attack. You can increase this until you are satisfied with your base damage. '''Note that strength has low priority'''. For example if your attack does 100 damage,and there's a monster with 390hp you will only beat this monster in less hits when you increase your strength with 30 values. If you use the points required to raise str 30 points on agil and dex instead, you will attack a lot faster and miss less.
| |
| | |
| *'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks
| |
| | |
| *'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. It also makes healing items heal you an extra percentage of hp. Always increase this.
| |
| | |
| *'''DEX''' is important to the Warrior until somewhere in the 50-60 total points range (level 12-14 w/ Scythe [read below]). This is only to ensure that your attacks aren't evaded by high level monsters.
| |
| | |
| *'''LUK''' is also very important to train because it lowers the amount of critical hits you take, and also raises your critical hit ratio.
| |
| | |
| Finding a good balance is rather tricky, and players tend to disagree to the ideal ratio. Therefore the best advice I could give you is to take head in what your character really needs during fights, for example if you want to start fighting snakes but can't hit it means it's time to raise dex...
| |
| | |
| ===Archer===
| |
| The Archer is the easiest to train because only two stats are needed to make it strong, and because it can kill monsters more rapidly and efficiently. However, the Archer is dependent on a lot of arrows for its livelihood, and so a lot of inventory weight and money will be taken up by arrows. The strongest weapon for an Archer at this time is the Forest Bow. This can be obtained in two ways: One, by doing the [[Walkthrough/Quests#Bow Master’s Forest Bow|Forest Bow quest]], or two, by buying it at the North Pole’s Shop for 20,000 GP.
| |
| | |
| *'''AGI''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.
| |
| | |
| *'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. However as an archer your attacks are ranged, thus you need to rely in this less as opposed to warriors. But eventually you will need this for narrow maps that are crowded with monsters.
| |
| | |
| *'''DEX''' this is the most important stat for archers because it raises both the accuracy of your attack and adds to the base damage of the Bow. Many Archers are content to stop raising DEX in the 80-90 range, while some others would max it out completely before even starting to touch their vitality.
| |
| | |
| ===Malivox===
| |
| If you ever want to redistribute your status points, this NPC west of Tulimshar's main entrance can reset them, for a high price depending on your current level. Higher your level, higher the price.

| | |
| ==Quick walkthrough==
| |
| [[Image:Caves.gif|frame|The locations of the two bat caves.]]
| |
| *'''LVL 1-15''': Kill maggots and the occasional scorpion. Kill fire goblins while you can heal for free from Elanore. She will only heal when you are level 10 and under.
| |
| | |
| *'''LVL 13-28''': Kill pinkies to get a Scythe. Kill bats, pinkies, squirrels and fluffies. Fluffies give the most average experience.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Armor.gif|frame|The NPCs that sell the best easily-obtained armor.]]
| |
| *'''LVL 25-40''': Kill green slimes, sea slimes, giant maggots and red scorpions. Save up for and get Light Platemail (50k) and a Silk Headband (+10 def)(5k),
| |
| | |
| *'''LVL 38-50''': Kill red slimes, black scorpions, and logheads. (Save up Raw Logs and GP, get a Forest Bow if you prefer archery).
| |
| | |
| *'''LVL 45-60''': Kill flowers, evil mushrooms, snakes, spiders, and yellow slimes. Get the Iron Helmets. Finish up the quests and your collection of rare drops.
| |
| | |
| *'''LVL 61-90+''': Get the setzer and best armour possible. Have fun in the Snake Cave, and don't forget to [[stacking|stack]]!
| |
| | |
| More details about the quests are available in [[Walkthrough/Quests]] and maps of the current world at [[User:Superkoop/IngameMap]] and [[In-game_world_map]].
| |
| | |
| ==The Scythe==
| |
| The Farmers Scythe is one of the most commonly used weapons in the game. It is hard to obtain, but is quite worth it, given the fact it has a +75 base damage bonus (your beginner sword was only +5 base damage). To get this deadly weapon, head west from the desert and head to Hurnscald, once you are in the centre of town (near the soul menhir), head north, slighty go north-east and you will meet an NPC who looks like a farmer. He will give you a quest to bring him 10 pink antenna. The difficulty with this quest is that the pink antenna can only be received as a drop from pinkies, and there's a very rare chance they will drop at all.
| |
| It takes time but with determination it can be done in a day or two. The alternative solution is to ask someone if they will donate pink antennas, its not best to buy them from someone since you will need to save up for a silk headband later. Once you do manage to get the farmers scythe, you can easily gain levels.
| |
|
| |
|
| == Tips == | | ===Weapons=== |
| It becomes fairly difficult to level up after this point, but it is not entirely uncommon to find players with levels in the 80s, and not impossible to get up to 90 and beyond. It does take a lot of time and work. If you are ambitious about becoming one of the highest level players in the game, be prepared to put in many hours, sometimes many hours at once to reach this goal. Here are a few pointers:
| | {{Note|To be added.}} |
|
| |
|
| ===Training locations=== | | ===Training locations=== |
| The best places to train are east of [[Tulimshar]]. If a player has properly raised their stats and are a skilled archer or warrior, they should have no problems going solo in the Snake Desert (Eastern Desert). Lower level players should go in groups.
| | {{Note|To be added.}} |
| | |
| The Snake Pit (Hat Maker’s Cave) may prove to be more dangerous, especially if the pit has bedded itself in front of the entrance. Players should approach the pit with caution and go in groups when possible. The spawn rate is incredible, and Snakes give 400 EXP a pop.
| |
| | |
| For archers with a very high dexterity (90+), training might also be beneficial in the Desert Mountains southeast of the Snake Desert. The Mountain Snakes are more defensive and aggressive, but 500 EXP may climb up those levels fast if the player can score steady hits.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Training technique=== | | ===Training technique=== |
| Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands—you can do this through the client in ''Setup''. I personally use “Q†and “W†on my laptop, which greatly helps my own training endurance.
| |
|
| |
| Another good trick is healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (I prefer Beer... I collect Apples ;p) and make the Inventory window small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click ''Use'' whenever you need a quick heal. This is even better if you have a recent client with the item shortcut bar. I toggle the healing item to “X†and just heal with one keystroke when needed. Keep in mind that we now heal over time.
| |
|

| |
| ==Final thoughts==
| |
| {{Status_red}}
| |
| So you have completed your item collection and levelled as much as you care too. You've finished all of the quests. What else can you do? Well, one of the great things about The Mana World and Open Source software in general is that anyone can help improve it and further it along. There are many ways you can do that even without any "programming" knowledge.
| |
|
| |
| The more active players the game has, the more potential programmers will be introduced to the game. And the more potential programmers we have, the faster the development will go. That means new features, items, quests, etc. for everyone. How can you help nurture a large active player base?
| |
|
| |
|
| Well, as you may have noticed before you read this guide, the game has somewhat of a difficult learning curve for new players. Many more experienced players help newbies with quests and items--some even go so far as to create an account devoted solely to that purpose. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=127 a guide] to help people get started doing that.
| | Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands as you can do this through the client in <samp>Setup</samp>. Some players use <kbd>A</kbd> and <kbd>Z</kbd> on their computer, which greatly helps with their ergonomic. |
| | ManaPlus also provides a key <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> to attack and collect loot as well. |
|
| |
|
| How do experienced players pass the time while we wait for new content? Simply put, we make our own quests and events, stimulating competition among players and giving out prizes as incentive. This is a great way that we keep other players from getting bored and quitting, and anyone can get involved with it. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=129 another guide] to help people host their own events, as well.

Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click <samp>Use</samp> whenever you need a quick heal. |
|
| |
|
| Most importantly, if you have the time and a little bit of know how, you can influence the development of the game directly by helping to code TMWServ, scripting new items, making pixel art for new tilesets, NPCs, monsters, etc, as well as mapping. Mapping especially is very simple and done in a freely available editor called Tiled, which you can read more about on the [[Map development]] page.
| | Ideally, you should use the <samp>Shortcut Bar</samp> <kbd>F8</kbd> instead, this will allow you to assign a few items, skills, and even text to be said with a simple keypress. |
|
| |
|
| Doing all these things is easier when you are not working alone; indeed, bigger projects can be tackled much faster in groups. Although there is no integrated guild system in the client yet, players have started their own "unofficial" guilds (see [[Guilds]]). They all serve different purposes, but [http://www.holymanaclan.webs.com at least one] (as of this writing) devotes itself to the purpose of furthering the development of the game through the three methods above. Consider joining a guild like this to be a part of a player community that seeks to better the game. You won't be losing your individuality (usually!) in doing so. --[[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 21:56, 14 February 2008 (CET)
| | Remember that healing happens over time: Drinking healing items at the last moment may be too late! By default, healing item effects should '''not''' stack. |
