Deserve

Also is there pvp and groups to hunt together im just curious atm ty in advance and skills how do i train them or become advanced class im only lvl 7 atm so ive got time hehe

Deserve

also how do i add banner i know how to get code in game but it isnt working for me..

Raem

A lot of the stuff you're going to be looking for is in the HELP files which you can get in-game just by typing HELP and then whatever you're looking for. HELP HOUSES will list Houses, HELP <class> tells you more about your class, etc. I recommend joining a City and a House, at least to start. Even if you wind up changing your mind or leaving later you will learn a lot about the game that way.

Raem

For the banner you take that code and put it in the HTML editor part of your signature (denoted by the </> symbol in this case). That way it'll work as HTML code and not just plain text.

Looks like you are already in a City which is a good first step.

Deserve

ty for help still cant figure out sig ;(

Borran

Topic called Banner has directions. That's how I figured out mine.

Deserve

ok fixed banner does it update during a period of time?

Borran

I'm not sure if it runs automatically from a game database, but mine's always up to date. It even registered the last 100 denizen kills I did after the battlerage changes were implemented.

Hello Deserve! Welcome to Achaea

As @Raem said, many of your questions can be answered within the game itself, and don't be afraid to ask them while playing: you can always use the NEWBIE channel, or you can send a TELL to adventurers to ask them one-on-one. This isn't to discourage you from using forums, but you will find your playing experience improves when you interact with people within the game itself.


To cover what you did ask, and give you pointers for where else to look then:

- Guides/What can I do?

Your TASKS system will familiarise yourself with Achaea's mechanics, explaining each feature as you progress through the novicehood storyline and unveil the pygmy conspiracy.

The HELP WHATNOW guide will give you a swift overview of everything you need to keep in mind, and point you in the right direction for things to do. HELP GOALS is another good one.

You will also have a collection of CityHelp files from your city (CHELP INDEX will list them all) and it is likely that some of these will give pointers for how to roleplay a Mhaldorian character. You may also have a clan, and this will have its own useful scrolls, listed under CLHELP INDEX (you would need to CLAN SWITCH <clanshortname> first to make sure you're in the correct clan).

If you need guides/how-to's for using a client to connect to Achaea, have a look around these forums, they're a good place to ask.

- Houses vs housing:

Houses in Achaea are organisations like Guilds: a group of like-minded individuals united for the same purpose/mission. These will often have a House Estate - the sort of 'headquarters' building and physical location - but they will not always grant access to all their members equally. If you join a House, you have a roster of experienced adventurers at your disposal to train/teach you, help you along if you have questions, spend time together hunting/fighting/drinking etc...

As you are Mhaldorian, you will learn more about her Houses as you continue to complete your TASKS, and you will be prompted to join one or the other (Mhaldor has two Houses) when you have finished. You can give HELP HOUSES and HELP JOINING A HOUSE a read. HELP CERTIMENE can give a bit more insight too.

Housing on the other hand, is a private dwelling owned by individual adventurers. There are often restrictions on whether or not you can buy a plot of land in your/another city and build on it, so it is usually one of those goals for later down your adventurer career. HELP HOUSING will give you an index of related topics, and you can learn how this works and whether it's something you want.

- Pvp combat:

Everything you would need to know to start with pvp or denizen combat will be under HELP 13 - The Principles of Battle. As a newbie, your priority would be towards gaining levels (and lessons), and improving your skills first. You cannot fight effectively if you do not bring everything in your arsenal!

That is not to say you can't do pvp at a low level or with lesser skills, merely that it will be more challenging for you, but a goal to strive towards nevertheless. I would recommend you speak to others in your city in-character to ask about getting into combat.

- Group hunting:

When you FOLLOW <adventurer> you will both be in a group. HELP GROUP tells you some of the benefits of this. You can compare the differences between Adventurer and Denizen combat here. Finally, you will want to make use of the new hunting system explained in HELP BATTLERAGE.

- Skills:

SHOW LESSONS tells you how many lessons you have accumulated. You can gain more if you look at your CREDITS REPORT and then CREDITS CONVERT <#> TO LESSONS (you will get 6 lessons for every 1 credit).

The best people to ask about training would be your citymates, especially those who are the same class as you. They can advise you on where to spend your lessons, what skills are useful to get, how they work etc.

To improve your skills, you need to find a tutor (HELP TUTOR for denizens, an adventurer of your same class otherwise) and then LEARN <#> <skill> FROM <tutor>. You can learn in sets of 15, or 20 if you eat myrrh of bisemutum. HELP LEARNING tells you more.



Hope that helps answer your questions, keep asking here and in-game if not though!

So when I get level 21 I wont be able to walk to (landmarks)?

Tecton

You'll still be abele to use WALK TO <landmark>, you just won't be able to use PORTALS anymore, unfortunately!

Deserve

the game its self is rich in rp which i like but at the later lvls is it free to play or need to add cash to get artifacts and be decent?

Mannimar

You never NEED artefacts, but they are nice, and typically you support the game in how you acquire them.

Deserve

yea id like to know how to support the game but unsure of how to at the moment.

You support the game by continuing to log in, possibly bringing in friends, purchasing credits for whatever reason, etc.

You don't need artefacts to succeed in the game. If you wish to get into combat, there will come a point where you hit a wall in who can reasonably beat.

Just depends on what you are wanting to do. You could buy credits to buy flowerpots for your house plot you just bought. There are lots of things you can do.

Deserve

i welcome all the help the community is actually good and rp is great better then most or pretty much any mmo.....go Achaea!

Welcome, @Deserve -- I am certain you will enjoy your experience in Achaea and Mhaldor. It was nice to meet you and to help you along with your lessons and introduction to the city.
