-Please never state how much gold you have, just know you have some.
Treasure Chests
-Treasure chests can hold items, weapons, gold and sometimes even traps. They are always interesting to open.
-Treasures chest can be found, gained from monsters or located in special areas, you may make your own one appear that hold very simple items. Only I can bring in the special ones with special items.
-Some treasure chests are booby-trapped, only thieves or rangers can disable them. Some are even locked and require a key, however thieves can open them. However some are magically locked and cannot be opened by a thief, but its always worth a try.
Weapons
-Newb characters start out with one and only one basic weapon their class may wield, for Eg: Fighter can start with a basic sword or basic spear, a mage can start out with a basic staff. Fighters are allowed to start out with a basic weapon and basic shield, but only them.
-Veteran characters may begin with stronger weapons their class may wield and can name it themselves, but it must not be too powerful.
-Special weapons that are super powerful, have special abilities or can wield by other classes can be found along the game during special events. Veterans may start out with one, but they must pm me and ask first, you may obtain a special weapon later as well, just ask.
Spells
-Spells are magic that can be performed by only certain classes, spells can be used as many times as a person wishes. Magic-wielding classes all start out with the spells listed below the class list above. They will gain more as they go along
-New spells can be found, earned or even taught in events in the game. You may also request to learn a spell of your design via pm if you ask only if you are a mage or cleric. Veterans may also request to know non-basic spells at the start via pm.
-Spells must be spoken to perform, if the casting is interrupted in any way, the spell will fail.
-Healing spells can be used to heal damage and effects, but you cannot cast it on the same person successively. Cure heals damage, where as Heal cures effects.
-As you become stronger you spells become stronger in power, range, effect and size.
Levels
-Newb players start out at level 1, but may level up easy at first. However please do no state what level you are at any time, you may just say you are of a high or weak level.
-You may gain levels at any time after you get experience from a monster, your character glows and levels up. However please do not overdo it and level up every second. Keep it to at most leveling up 3 times per event.
-Veterans may say they are at high level, but do not over do it and say they are at the highest level, there is none. Also being of a higher level does not mean you are unbeatable, weak monsters or lower level players can still beat you if they use their skill, weapons and items.
Monsters
-Monsters are creatures in the game that attack players, they can appear anywhere in the game outside of towns and castles. They come in all shapes and forms.
-Simple monsters are of weak level and usually have no special abilities, you may make your own monster and appear and kill it yourself. Multiple simple monsters can appear.
-Advanced monsters are more powerful monsters I will bring in, there will usually not be many and you may not kill them yourself. I will say when they die.
-Boss monsters are the final bosses of an event, they are very powerful and I will say when they die, you may never bring in your own boss monster, you may suggest one via pm if you want.
