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 ''Setup''. Some players use "A" and "Z" on their computer, which greatly helps with their ergonomic.

Another good trick is healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (such things as Beer, Milk, Apples, or other edibles) 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.

Raising your Stats

When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please between the various Stats.

Classes

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.

  • Warrior uses melee weapon or sword to fight. For more details visit Warrior.
  • Mage uses magic to fight and heal. For more details visit Mage.

Magic

See the article named Magic.
