Here are some tips to get started on this mud:

#1 - You have at least 38 training sessions to improve your 5 stats. You probably want to get each one of them up to 10 before you specialize. The training area is w w n from the fountain. See help train for more information.

#2 - You can now learn spells and skills. You learn these from guildmasters which are spread around the world. Each guildmaster will charge a number of coins per session. (Except level 1 spells/skills) You can already learn weapon handling, magic missile, and cure light, by going west and then south or north from the fountain. Its probably best to just learn weapon handling for now. See help practice for more information.

#3 - You now want to get some equipment. You can check the donation room in the newbie training area, or if a high level player give you some coins, you can buy weapons and armor in shops off of White Tower Boulevard. Make sure you get both a wieldable weapon and a holdable weapon.

#4 - Go forth and slay monsters. Use the scan command to find monsters and evaluate to see if they are your level. You can use help arealevels to find the names of areas your level, and help areadirections to to get directions to the entrance of the area. Once you have enough experience, you can go to the advancement center in the guild and level.

#5 - Use the level commands to see how much exp you need to gain the next level. Use spellinfo and skillinfo to get a list of spells and skills.
