New players: The guard barracks on the Street of Swords is designed to help get you off to a good start in the world of Dark Pawns. Initially you are going to want to try to level just in there and the other newbie areas in Kir Drax’in. (Type HELP MAP for info on getting around the city)

Be sure to read the board in the Temple. It contains a lot of information about the game, and current events.

You also are going to want to read HELP POLICY (for the rules) and HELP NEWBIE (for any “newbish” questions)

FAQ:(and the help files to read to find the answers) (Words in CAPITALS means type HELP to see the help file)

&cHow can I find out my skills/spells I have currently avaiable? &n PRACTICE &cHow can I find ALL the skills/spells available to my class? &n Get HELP on your class (ie: help WARRIOR, help THIEF, etc) &cI’m broke and hungry.. help? &n EAT CARVE If you are just hungry, try the bakery 1e1n of Market Square. &cI’m a psychopath.. help? &n BEHEAD &cWhere’s the donation room?&n south, west, south of the temple in Kir Drax’in. &cAre there subclasses?&n No.. but you can REMORT to a different class when you reach level 30. Also, VAMPIREs and WEREWOLVES are available for all races. &cIs there a map?&n HELP MAP &cIs there rent?&n No rent, but you must QUIT in the temple to keep your equipment. If you are a resident of another HOMETOWN besides Kir Drax’in you can quit in that towns quit room (generally, where you started) &cIs there a way to automate things, such as looting corpses and gold?&n AUTO &cWho is this “Someone” person?&n When you see something like “Someone says, ‘Hi there.’” That is
an invisible person speaking to you. You would be able to see
them if you had the DETECT INVISIBILITY spell cast upon you. If it bothers you to talk to an invisible person, you can always request that they go VISIBLE. &cWhat is everyone talking about on gossip?&n You can type REVIEW to get the text of the last 25 gossips, so if you have just logged on you can figure out what has been going on
lately in the game.
&cI’m so lost! Where do I go to get a good start?&n Well, first of all, type RECALL. That will put you back in the temple of Kir Drax’in. From there, go down and open the door south into the guard training centre. This is where you are going to begin honing your skills and advancing your levels.
Killing mobs in the city when you are a newbie is NEVER a good idea, your best bet is to stay down in the centre for awhile.

If you get lost, use the RECALL command to put you back in the temple.
