NEWBIE: Newbie Guide: First Characters
Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2016 6:30 pm
Let's face it, this game is a lot to take in for your very first character and figuring out exactly where to start before you have the ability to chat at level 2. So I wanna note a few things for any new players to help em along.
Step 1: Character creation
Here at WoTMUD, you roll stats at level 3 that determine your characters innate traits of Strength, Intelligence, Will, Dexterity and Constitution. At level 3 you can view these with the stat command, and choose to keep or start over at level 1 and try again with RESTAT. Personally I wouldn't worry too much at first, because you can always go for better on a new char once you get the hang of things.
If you don't feel like spending much time on character creation itself, then Human hunters, warriors and rogues can all pick prerolled stats. They aren't great, but are easily enough to get you going. Tell guardian Prerolled stats to get them. If you want to learn on a hunter or rogue, this is an excellent way to go about it and you can easily stat better once you get the hang of things. It should give you 17 10 12 17 17 stats for hunters and rogues as well as the warrior mentioned before.
I should mention the WHO command, which lets you see any players online for your faction. Anyone with a ~ next to their name is Immortals (staff) and can be talked to directly if they are visible with TELL or, if none are visible, PRAY.
From the Circle, you can go to the Weave and be taken to a variety of places all over the world based on your level, or the Eye of the World. The Eye of the world is our newbie zone that is specifically for people wanting to learn the game without fear of Playerkilling and the like. This is good, but if you want to stat in the larger world, and perhaps get more help as you are more accessible there, there are a few places great for starters.
Enter weave "placename" will do the trick, and there is a sign with available choices in the room 1 room down of where you start.
First off, Tell guardian kit will provide some basics to work with.
Caemlyn is the center of the world, and the zones south of the city is fantastic for statting. The preferred stuff to kill to stat is Deer, bucks, and of course the favorite leatherleaf saplings.
Emond's Field has a large supply of statting material found roughtly N and W of the main town itself.
Amador has a large statting field south of the city, but it can be dangerous to get there if you aren't familiar with the area.
Tear Road has plentiful statting trees and convenient access to them. Another good one.
In the Eye of the World, the saplings are found East and West of the town.
For your first character to learn the game in, it is strongly recommended you choose a Human Warrior, and preferably from Two Rivers or Amadicia so you get a quick roll of 18 - 19 for both Strength and Con. Then you're off to the real game experience!
