I have a question about the monk's jab skill

Kurotabo

Hi there, I am a newbie who just started this game like 30 minutes ago.

Anyway, I have a question about the monk's jab skill. I typed it according to the help file 'jbp pygmy head', but an error message popped up saying I was targeting a random string of numbers. What went wrong? My other skills like snapkick seemed to work just fine.

It only works on other players (adventurers) for PvP combat. You can't use it on a pygmy (an NPC - often called "a denizen"). The AB file for each of your abilities will tell you what you can use it on:

Syntax:
JBP <target> <HEAD|ARMS>

Works on/against:
Adventurers

Cooldown:
3.00 seconds of arm balance
Details:
A quick strike with the fingers. When targeting the head, this will    
restore someone's hearing. When targeting the arms, it will disable the
target's ability to parry for a very short time.

Compared to snapkick:

Syntax:
SNK <target> left/right

Works on/against:
Adventurers and denizens

Cooldown:
4.00 seconds of leg balance
Details:
This low, and easy-to-perform kick attacks the legs of an opponent.

There's a monk clan oriented to help aspiring monks get into combat, if you're interested. #shamelessplug
