Concept:S'Kra Mur

2021-04-05T03:11:14Z

ERICA: Typo

{{#concept:[[race is::s'kra mur||skra mur]]}}
{{RTOC}}[[Image:skramur.gif|200px|left|Male and Female S'Kra Mur]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}The reigning theory of the origins of the S'Kra Mur is that [[Hav'roth]], in all his forms, created them and imbued them with sentience -- a hypothesis no more and no less valid than [[Elothean]] creation myths.
 
 
Whatever their origins, no one denies they are formidable in physical combat, combining the swiftness of a striking cobra and the strength of a bearhug from an enraged boa constrictor. While their scaly exterior may throw off those with warmer blood, S'Kra Mur hardly care what those races may think of them. In S'Kra Mur society, honor is measured by the length of one's tail -- and the opinions of those without simply aren't worth considering.

==Character Creation==
The S'Kra Mur figurine opens hooded eyes and gazes at you. A sibilant voice issues forth: "I am of the S'Kra Mur. We are the ssserpent folk. While we have two arms, two legs, a torso, and a head like any of the other races, our smile is the serpent's smile, our scales the serpent's scales, and our eyes the serpent's eyes. We strike like the snake with its agility and grace, and calculate our moves with the cold method that resides in our very blood. We are dangerous to encounter, and even more dangerous to cross." 
 
The S'Kra Mur stands tall and lithe, cold skin glistening with a faint tracery of scales. Slitted pupils slash its eyes down the middle and a short tail curls restlessly behind it. A chill presence lurks within its gaze, at once vaguely repulsive and strangely hypnotic.

Concept:Gor'Togs

2021-04-05T02:59:47Z

ERICA: Replaced hard-coded Special Commands with dynamic ask

{{#concept:[[race is::gor'tog]]}}
{{incomplete|Needs age chart}}{{RTOC}}[[Image:gortog.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Gor'Togs]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}Historically, Gor'Togs were enslaved and used by the [[S'Kra Mur]] as heavy laborers. Fortunately for the S'Kra, most Gor'Togs of current times hold little enmity toward their former captors; due in part to thoroughly Toggish philosophy of "if it ain't broke, don't break it". They have a reputation for being the biggest, strongest, and most physically powerful of all the common races. 
 
Coupled with that is the perception that Gor'Togs tend to fall by the wayside in the brains department. While it's true that you'll rarely see a Gor'Tog [[Moon Mage]] in the Realms, this fact still didn't keep great 'Togs such as [[Uthmor]] from helping to outwit the wily [[Elf|Elves]] in the Resistance Wars, and rumors still persist of a Gor'Tog [[Paladin]] claiming to be [[Lanival]] during the beginning of the [[Dragon Priest]] Insurrection.

==Character Creation==
For a moment, nothing appears to happen. Then, slowly, the Gor'Tog figurine begins to speak in a deep rumbling voice, the words carefully chosen: "I am Gor'Tog. Gor'Tog is strength. Gor'Tog is endurance. Gor'Tog needs not magic or cleverness, Gor'Tog has much trust in self. [[Elf|Elven]] are faster, but Gor'Tog does not need fast, Gor'Tog has might. [[Dwarf|Dwarven]] are strong but Gor'Tog is stronger. [[Halfling]] is clever but Gor'Tog finds the straight way, no need for tricks." 
 
You gaze at this slow-worded being. Tall and well-muscled, dark green skin covers a massive, hairless frame. Dark eyes look out, lacking sparkle perhaps, but forthright and true in many ways. Like an enduring oak tree or massive boulder, the Gor'Tog radiates a sense of solidity and permanence.

Concept:Rakash

2021-04-05T02:20:16Z

ERICA: Added refer

{{#Concept:[[race is::rakash]]}}
{{RTOC}}[[Image:rakash_female.gif|left|200px|Female Rakash]][[Image:rakash_male.gif|right|200px|Male Rakash]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}Quick to react and living for the pack, the Rakash consider themselves at one with their pack and often speak in the plural. While [[Human]] in appearance most of the time, they shapeshift into a wolf-human hybrid when the black moon, [[Katamba]], is full. Even when not in their [[moonskin|moonskins]], however, the Rakash retain a touch of their wild nature. 
 
Having lived in the hinterland west of the Five Realms for uncounted generations, the Rakash were driven out of their homeland by an undead menace. While suspicious of their new environment, if there's one thing that the Rakash are good at, it's survival. Adaptation may be challenging, but their shapeshifting tendencies have taught them that change is inevitable -- and the Rakash love a good challenge.

==Character Creation==
A deep, growling voice emits from the figure: "Rakash I am, the hunter who is happiest when she is with her pack. We live for the family, fight for the family, die for the family. No king can break us up, no god can destroy us. In ones and twos we may sometimes travel, but our happiness is complete when we are. The other races try to understand us, but cannot, for in their minds they are examining us in the singular. We discovered the truth long ago when we learned that we are strongest when united. Strength have I, and endurance, and speed. Whether I hunt with steel or with spell, all that matters is that I do what I do for the pack!" 
 
The Rakash is of moderate height and seems to shift between a humanoid with a furry coat and a short snout and a Human with deep, soulful eyes. Both forms gaze at you with a combination of strength and loyalty, and there is a down-to-earth sensibility about this race present in only a few of the others. In its half-[[Human]] form, a short tail sweeps down behind the Rakash, stopping just short of the ground it stands on, and its ears are tall and curved, constantly twitching at the smallest sounds.

==Rakash Appearance and Behavior==

"They look much like Humans most of the time, but when the black moon Katamba waxes full, they undergo an amazing transformation that leaves them looking very much like wolf-men. Oh, they continue to walk upright and they do not actually change into wolves completely, but they grow fur and tails and I would not fancy an encounter with their jaws when they are in what they call their "moonskin". But for all that, I do not find them as off-putting as I do the [[Prydaen]], near whom they lived in western lands before migrating here in the year 357. Although the Rakash suffered terribly at the hands of the necromancer [[Lyras]], they are very devoted to one another and form tightly knit packs even in their new homes with us. Some folks find them a bit dull between the ears, but they are far from stupid and I find their tenacity and toughness quite admirable."

Talk:Gor'Tog Verbs

2021-04-05T02:09:44Z

ERICA: Second proposal for deletion

Proposing deletion because all of this info is documented on each command page (I verified), and all commands with special racial versions are being included on the individual racial command category pages (which ties into the command form).

==Deletion Request==
See [[Talk:Elf commands]]. Deletion isn't the appropriate answer here. --[[User:TK-421|TK-421]] ([[User talk:TK-421|talk]]) 13:50, 3 April 2021 (CDT)

==Re-propose deletion==
In addition to confirming that information was documented, I updated the main Gor'Tog page to remove the link to this page and instead reference the individual relevant pages so that they are still easily referenced. [[User:Erica|Erica]]

Concept:Gor'Togs

2021-04-05T02:05:13Z

ERICA: Added references to race-specific commands and removed link to up-for-deletion comands page

{{#concept:[[race is::gor'tog]]}}
{{incomplete|Needs age chart}}{{RTOC}}[[Image:gortog.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Gor'Togs]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}Historically, Gor'Togs were enslaved and used by the [[S'Kra Mur]] as heavy laborers. Fortunately for the S'Kra, most Gor'Togs of current times hold little enmity toward their former captors; due in part to thoroughly Toggish philosophy of "if it ain't broke, don't break it". They have a reputation for being the biggest, strongest, and most physically powerful of all the common races. 
 
Coupled with that is the perception that Gor'Togs tend to fall by the wayside in the brains department. While it's true that you'll rarely see a Gor'Tog [[Moon Mage]] in the Realms, this fact still didn't keep great 'Togs such as [[Uthmor]] from helping to outwit the wily [[Elf|Elves]] in the Resistance Wars, and rumors still persist of a Gor'Tog [[Paladin]] claiming to be [[Lanival]] during the beginning of the [[Dragon Priest]] Insurrection.

==Character Creation==
For a moment, nothing appears to happen. Then, slowly, the Gor'Tog figurine begins to speak in a deep rumbling voice, the words carefully chosen: "I am Gor'Tog. Gor'Tog is strength. Gor'Tog is endurance. Gor'Tog needs not magic or cleverness, Gor'Tog has much trust in self. [[Elf|Elven]] are faster, but Gor'Tog does not need fast, Gor'Tog has might. [[Dwarf|Dwarven]] are strong but Gor'Tog is stronger. [[Halfling]] is clever but Gor'Tog finds the straight way, no need for tricks." 
 
You gaze at this slow-worded being. Tall and well-muscled, dark green skin covers a massive, hairless frame. Dark eyes look out, lacking sparkle perhaps, but forthright and true in many ways. Like an enduring oak tree or massive boulder, the Gor'Tog radiates a sense of solidity and permanence.

{{RTOC}}[[Image:humans.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Humans]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}[[Elothean]] [[lorethew]]s will tell you there was a time when there were no Humans, and some [[Elf|Elves]] will tell you they preferred the time when there were no Humans, but all that is water under the bridge now. Humans dominate the Dragon's Realms, and despite their relatively short lifespans (compared to some of the other races), they breed quickly and catch on fast. 
 
Humans run the middle road in abilities, being naturally neither inclined nor disinclined toward anything -- which can, in itself, be a tremendous asset. Many of the races owe the founding of Elanthia's great inter-species empire to intrepid Humans, without whom these times of peace and mutual cooperation simply would not have existed.

==Character Creation==

The figure speaks: "I am Human, the middle road of the races. We have the potential for skill in all things, though the others may best us in one or another. We are less strong than some and not as fast as others, yet our kind prospers. For while we may lack some of the advantages of the others, we also lack their disadavantages...." 
 
You regard the form of the Human figurine. Of moderate height; shorter than the [[Gor'Tog]] and [[Kaldar]], but taller than [[Halfling|Halflings]], [[Dwarf|Dwarves]], and [[Gnome|Gnomes]]. Almost the center of all the possible variations you see before you are in this Human form.

{{RTOC}}[[Image:humans.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Humans]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}[[Elothean]] [[lorethew]]s will tell you there was a time when there were no Humans, and some [[Elf|Elves]] will tell you they preferred the time when there were no Humans, but all that is water under the bridge now. Humans dominate the Dragon's Realms, and despite their relatively short lifespans (compared to some of the other races), they breed quickly and catch on fast. 
 
Humans run the middle road in abilities, being naturally neither inclined nor disinclined toward anything -- which can, in itself, be a tremendous asset. Many of the races owe the founding of Elanthia's great inter-species empire to intrepid Humans, without whom these times of peace and mutual cooperation simply would not have existed.

==Character Creation==

The figure speaks: "I am Human, the middle road of the races. We have the potential for skill in all things, though the others may best us in one or another. We are less strong than some and not as fast as others, yet our kind prospers. For while we may lack some of the advantages of the others, we also lack their disadavantages...." 
 
You regard the form of the Human figurine. Of moderate height; shorter than the [[Gor'Tog]] and [[Kaldar]], but taller than [[Halfling|Halflings]], [[Dwarf|Dwarves]], and [[Gnome|Gnomes]]. Almost the center of all the possible variations you see before you are in this Human form.

Talk:Elothean commands

2021-04-03T03:08:40Z

ERICA: /* Seconding deletion */ new section

Proposing deletion because all of this info is documented on each command page (I verified), and all commands with special racial versions are being included on the individual racial command category pages (which ties into the command form).

== Seconding deletion ==

In addition to confirming that information was documented, I updated the main Elothean page to remove the link to this page and instead reference the individual relevant pages.

{{#concept:[[race is::elothean||elotheans]]}}
{{RTOC}}[[image:elotheans.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Elotheans]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}The [[Dragon Priest|Dragon Priests]] insisted that Elotheans are really just a race of half-Elven peoples, a theory the Elotheans themselves vehemently deny. "Our religion tells the truth," says one Elothean historian. "From the very thought of the gods was our race born. We remain their favored children!" 
 
Knowledge is exalted by the Elotheans, stupidity and ignorance intolerable. Elotheans prefer to go the route of peace rather than force, justifying this by pointing to the wars past that almost cost them their entire species. Logic and honor are prized, and their highly structured and hierarchical society's heart lies in the capital of [[Ilithi]], the city of [[Shard]], where the [[Ferdahl]] and the Ten Houses -- to one of which nearly all Elotheans belong -- reside.

==Character Creation==

The Elothean figurine begins to speak, words soft and serene: "I am Elothean. Some call us half-[[Human]] or half-[[Elf|Elven]], but our religions tell us the truth. From the thought of the gods was our race born, and though others would want it otherwise, we remain their favored children. Our will is powerful, our skills in magic and knowledge the most exalted of all the races. We are agile when needed but we prefer to use our minds instead of force. Our paths are the ways of magic, scholarship, and lore. Calm and studied are we, neither hasting or wasting, we pursue our goals logically and skillfully." 
 
The Elothean stands tall and thin with large eyes that drink in every detail, examining you, weighing you, appraising you, knowing more about you, perhaps, than you yourself know. There is a sense of control about this one. A sense of well-managed power.

{{#concept:[[race is::elf||elves]]}}
{{RTOC}}[[Image:elves.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Elves]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}'''Elves''' are aloof and mysterious, much like the natural forces they consider themselves to be the living extensions of. Quick-witted and light on their toes, there are very few Elves who don't have a trace of mischief -- whether benign or otherwise -- sparkling behind their eyes. Many older Elves genuinely dislike [[Human|Humans]] for their past tendencies to upset the schemes of the Elven peoples and, indeed, the Human race's shorter lifespan no doubt adds friction to the relationship between the races. Where Elves can lay down plans that span decades, Humans rarely have the patience for such gradual progress. Their frustration is both amusing and annoying to the Elves.

==Character Creation==

The Elf figurine speaks in a voice light in tone, yet deep with age and wisdom: "Elven am I. Not as bulky as the [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] and not as strong as the [[Human|Humans]], but faster than both and smarter. Speed and agility are ours, both in the mind and the body. We are children of the living world: all the sides of nature define us, from the hard beauty of the snowy wastes in the mountains to the lush silence of the deepest, darkest forests. When all the other races have dwindled and died, the light of the Elvenkind will remain." 
 
You regard the Elven form: A shade taller than the [[Human]], it is willowy and graceful, aesthetically pleasing. The eyes sparkle with light-hearted joy, and a civilized air surrounds the Elf, a vital aura of age and refinement.

==Racial Characteristics==

===Age===

[[Elf|Elves]] have the same life span as Dwarves but appear much younger. By the end of an Elf's life, he appears to be no older than a Human in his mid-50s. While Elves develop physically and mentally in step with Humans, they are not sexually mature until their 40s. Ancient stories claim that Elves "fade away" with old age, but this is merely an echo of old social conventions rather than biological fact. An Elf who dies of complications of age leaves a corpse. 
<blockquote>
[[Post:Age determination for new players - 6/22/2010 14:05:50|DR-ARMIFER]]: They cannot reproduce until much later (at least 40, usually in their 100s), because Elves suck at this whole propagation thing. If evolution is involved, Elves are in serious danger of becoming a failed species.

===Lifespan===

'''Average lifespan:''' 400 years

'''Maximum lifespan:''' 500 years

Many historic Elven figures are reputed to have lived much longer.

===Reproduction===

'''Average gestation period:''' 8 Elanthian months

Elves have an amazingly difficult time procreating, even with another Elf. Once pregnant, it's not unusual for Elves to miscarry.

Elves can conceive children with the following races:
*Elf - difficult
*[[Dwarf]] - very difficult
*[[Elothean]] - very difficult
*[[Kaldar]] - difficult
*[[Human]] - difficult
*[[Halfling]] - very difficult
*[[Rakash]] - difficult

According to ''[[The Elven Folk (book)|The Elven Folk]]'', the children of an Elf and a non-Elf are born completely resembling either an Elf or the non-Elf race; there are no Half-Elves. If the child is born the race of the non-Elf, it will also possess the lifespan of that race, which is a source of grief for mixed-race couples.

Concept:Halflings

2021-04-03T02:44:41Z

ERICA: Added references to race-specific commands and removed link to up-for-deletion comands page

{{#concept:[[race is::halfling||olvi]]}}
{{incomplete|age chart needs data}}{{RTOC}}[[Image:halflings.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Halflings]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}Notorious for their sweet tooth, furry feet, and odd behavior, Halflings are perhaps the most inquisitive and clever of all the sentient races, matched only by the [[Prydaen]] in their tendency to get distracted by what would seem to others to be trivial or inconsequential things. What they lack in strength and discipline they make up for in physical agility; Halflings are uncannily good at getting out of the sticky situations that their own curiosity frequently gets them into. 
 
It is a common perception in the Realms that Halflings are universally good-natured -- even child-like -- in manner. Halflings have an affected dialect of Common that often involves the use of simple terms and emphatic gesturing which can, on the surface, imply a simpler outlook on life -- perhaps even a naïve one. Historically, however, there have been Halflings who have tackled gravely serious endeavors that ultimately ensured the survival of the Realms. It is perhaps because of this "simpler outlook" that they were able to endure the strain that surely accompanied such undertakings.

==Character Creation==

The Halfling figurine speaks, a bubbly, high-toned voice that is overrun with jovial humor. "Clever Halfling am I! Strength I have not, and height I have not, and really, I'm not all that skilled in magic -- but clever, clever, clever is this one! We are the curious, the ingenious, the solver of riddles! Always have we an eye on the humor in things, for life is too short to be spent on brooding! [[Lanival]] gave all the lands to us, so all places are ours. Our curiosity untangles the knots that bind and finds that which is not yet lost. What we lack in power and height we make up with skill and accuracy and dexterity." 
 
Though short -- half the size of the [[Human]] and smaller than the [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] -- the Halfling radiates a confidence, merriment, and awareness of the world that makes up for size. Bright eyes twinkle with suppressed laughter.

{{#concept:[[race is::kaldar||kaldars]]}}
{{RTOC}}[[Image:kaldar.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Kaldar]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}Physically identical to the [[Gorbesh]], the Kaldar are as much a political party as a race. Desiring a purer and more natural way of life where individual heroism and honor can be valued -- as opposed to the regimented army-camp existence of the Gorbesh Empire -- they followed the Gnomic prophet [[Trimbolt]] in a mass migration to the Dragon's Realms. 
 
Terrible to behold in a melée, the Kaldar laugh at the storm and sneer at those who would shiver behind civilized walls during the winter. Within the Kaldar society the path of magic is frowned upon since, to their minds, it is better to go the path the gods intended for their naturally tall, strong peoples. 
 
Kaldar take offense to the proposal that they are little more than glorified [[Human|Humans]]. Kaldar consider Humans to be over-civilized and under-exercised -- in a word, "soft". The Kaldar society co-existed peacefully with the [[Gnome|Gnomes]], the stronger, taller species acting as much-needed defenders and protectors. Kaldar like the cold, and enjoy taking icy-cold baths in the middle of winter.

==Character Creation==
The figure chuckles as you gaze at it. "I am a Kaldar, though some consider me little more than a glorified [[Human]]. Obviously the originator of such thought was probably him- or herself a Human who was jealous of my strength and stamina. Humans may be diverse, but in combat they cannot hope to best a Kaldar. We are terrible to behold in battle, having been weaned on it since childhood. Cities cannot hold us -- we laugh at the storm and sneer at those who would shiver behind walls during the winter. If you want to be raised soft or waggle your fingers at every shadow that makes you whimper, be born a Human or an [[Elf]]. If you want strength and determination, choose me!" 
 
An aura of mystery surrounds this tall, limber figure. While at first glance it seems little more than Human on a grand scale, the Kaldar is endowed with a stalwart spirit that reminds you more of the [[Dwarf|Dwarves]]. Sardonic humor lurks in its eyes, coupled with a sense of determination and unfaltering will.

{{#concept:[[race is::halfling||olvi]]}}
{{incomplete|age chart needs data}}{{RTOC}}[[Image:halflings.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Halflings]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}Notorious for their sweet tooth, furry feet, and odd behavior, Halflings are perhaps the most inquisitive and clever of all the sentient races, matched only by the [[Prydaen]] in their tendency to get distracted by what would seem to others to be trivial or inconsequential things. What they lack in strength and discipline they make up for in physical agility; Halflings are uncannily good at getting out of the sticky situations that their own curiosity frequently gets them into. 
 
It is a common perception in the Realms that Halflings are universally good-natured -- even child-like -- in manner. Halflings have an affected dialect of Common that often involves the use of simple terms and emphatic gesturing which can, on the surface, imply a simpler outlook on life -- perhaps even a naïve one. Historically, however, there have been Halflings who have tackled gravely serious endeavors that ultimately ensured the survival of the Realms. It is perhaps because of this "simpler outlook" that they were able to endure the strain that surely accompanied such undertakings.

==Character Creation==

The Halfling figurine speaks, a bubbly, high-toned voice that is overrun with jovial humor. "Clever Halfling am I! Strength I have not, and height I have not, and really, I'm not all that skilled in magic -- but clever, clever, clever is this one! We are the curious, the ingenious, the solver of riddles! Always have we an eye on the humor in things, for life is too short to be spent on brooding! [[Lanival]] gave all the lands to us, so all places are ours. Our curiosity untangles the knots that bind and finds that which is not yet lost. What we lack in power and height we make up with skill and accuracy and dexterity." 
 
Though short -- half the size of the [[Human]] and smaller than the [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] -- the Halfling radiates a confidence, merriment, and awareness of the world that makes up for size. Bright eyes twinkle with suppressed laughter.

General new player guide

ERICA: Added link to role-playing resources

{{RTOC}}
This is a page for the non-guild specific new player help guide.

==Introduction==

Hello! Thank you for stopping by the DragonRealms General Newbie Help Guide! This guide will try and help you get started with the game and teach you the ABSOLUTE basics.

==What is DragonRealms?==

DragonRealms is a MUD, which means it's a text-based multiplayer RPG. You connect to the game and the game's world is described to you in text, as if you were reading a book. You complete actions by entering text commands that you wish your character to accomplish. As long as the command is one recognized by the game, and you used it correctly, it will result in the main window of the game (typically called the Story window) listing the results of what happened. The interface and game world are almost entirely text-based, though there are some limited graphical features, such as certain things like health being able to be depicted in bar form.

DragonRealms takes place in Elanthia, which is a fantasy setting. There is magic, swords, bows and arrows and the like. There are minor elements indicative of slightly more technology than a strictly medieval setting would have (such as some steampunk style things like mechanical constructs and airships) but you won't find cars, guns, lasers or spaceships to be in-genre in any way.


==How to Use This Guide==

This guide will attempt to explain the basics of the game to you and get you on your way to adventuring! However, as in any tutorial, you will be required to input things yourself from time to time. When this guide references a command that you should type in, it will list it in the following fashion:

{{Tt|COMMAND}}

In this example, you would be expected to type the word "command" in your text-entry field in the game and then press your ENTER key. For the purposes of this guide, commands will be listed in all caps, but they can be entered however you wish.

Some commands require targets or modifiers. Usually these will be dependent on the context in which the command is used. As an example:

{{tt|COMMAND}} ''<object>''

In this example, you would be expected to type the word "command" in your text-entry field in the game, followed by the object you wanted to interact with before pressing ENTER. So if you were in a room with a picture and you wanted to look at it, you would type the following:

{{tt|LOOK PICTURE}}

In addition, modifiers may be used. For example, if there were both a blue picture and a red picture in the room and you wanted to look at the red one, you would type:

{{tt|LOOK RED PICTURE}}

Or, if there were two pictures but no identifying modifier (or as an alternative to a specific modifier like "red"), you may use numeric modifiers, like:

{{tt|LOOK SECOND PICTURE}}

Finally, modifiers may be combined, such as:

{{tt|LOOK MY SECOND RED PICTURE}}

which will look at the second red picture you have in your inventory.

Each section will have different information on the basics of the game and how to play, but understanding how to enter commands will be an essential part of following instructions in this (and other) guides.

Note that commands may be abbreviated. For example, {{tt|WAV BOB}} will wave at Bob. However, take care that when abbreviating commands, you do not abbreviate too much. For example, simply entering {{tt|W BOB}} will attempt to move the character one room to the west and the "BOB" portion will be ignored.

==Game Concepts==


==Character Creator==
When a character is first begun, they will be in a limbo world in which they will be able to choose many of their traits.

===Names===
Your name is actually one of the most important things about your character. It is the thing that everyone will see first, it is how people will talk about you, and it's how people will interact with you.

You initially will only be able to pick your first name, though later on you will have the option of adding a family name.

The rules are fairly straightforward. Your first name must be unique, not contain any real life references (Microwave is not going to work), drug references, profanities, numbers, titles (Lordnose, Kingbrave, etc. won't make it) or references to major literary characters (leave your Drizzt clone at home, or at least give him/her a creative name). If you violate these rules, it may get past the automatic filters, but a [[GameMaster]] will probably visit you later and make you change it.

Rule of thumb is that if you'd be ashamed to have it on your birth certificate, consider picking something else.

Now, already you may have seen people with names that violate one or more of these rules. What it comes down to is that DR has been around 15+ years and the rules have not always been stringently enforced, or even terribly well defined. If you see one of these names, understand that they've probably been playing for years and pity has been taken on them so that they wouldn't need to rebuild all their old friends/enemies if their name suddenly changed.

'''Note''': When the character manager prompts you to enter your character's name choice, do not type the parentheses. 
The proper syntax is {{tt|Choose Bob}} rather than {{tt|Choose (Bob)}}.
:(Where ''Bob'' is the name the name you've chosen for your character).

===Genders===
In DragonRealms, gender means little. While you might occasionally have different reactions from people, there is no real benefit to either gender.

===[[Races]]===
The second major choice you will face is your race. Your race primarily determines how much it will cost you to improve your stats. Each race has several areas in which they are excellent at, and several which they are lacking.

It should be noted that there is no coherent system of racial bonuses beyond the stat training. For example, while a specific shopkeeper might treat all dwarves better or insult elves, the one across the street may have wildly different reactions, or none at all.

While you may pick a race with an eye towards a specific style or guild, it is '''highly''' advised that races be picked on the basis of which culture the player enjoys. Some of the most interesting characters can come from mismatched choices (gnome barbarian anyone?).

* [[Dwarf]]: Slow, tough, and disciplined. The hairy rock-kissers of fantasy you know and love, even the women can grow beards.
* [[Elf]]: Fast and charismatic, elves are slightly weaker and frailer than humans. Tall, long-lived, and tending toward naturistic, elves come in a variety of subtypes that can drastically affect their views of the world.
* [[Elothean]]: Incredibly intelligent but weak and frail. A people that value knowledge over almost everything else, and have a strange inability to grow hair on most of their heads, Elotheans push the boundaries of nearly every intellectual pursuit.
* [[Gnome]]: Agile and intelligent, but weak and frail. These are short folks with keen minds and an affinity for mechanical devices and magic.
* [[Gor'Tog]]: Strong, tough, but not terribly bright. They are huge, hairless, green giants that tend towards physical labor.
* [[Halfling]]: Agile, tough, but weak and undisciplined. The short folks with the hairy feet and a love of food, drink, food, sleeping, and food. Don't discount them, or you might find they've run off with your money while you were calling them names.
* [[Human]]: Humans lack any particular strengths, but also any weaknesses. As widely varied as any real life group, humans can be found doing nearly anything almost anywhere.
* [[Kaldar]]: Strong and charismatic, but often disdainful of mental pursuits. Looking much like large, bulky humans, Kaldar are a refugee splinter group from the warlike [[Gorbesh]].
* [[Prydaen]]: Fast and charismatic, but poorly disciplined and prone to lacking common sense. Prydaen appear to be a strange mix between a human and any of the various predatory felines. Call them a cat at your own risk. They came to this land fleeing the near extinction at the hands of a powerful Necromancer.
* [[Rakash]]: Fast but uncordinated, slow mentally but tough. While mostly indistinguishable from any random human, when the black moon Katamba is full, they take on the form of a wolf-human hybrid. Like the Prydaen, they fled a powerful Necromancer and attempt to rebuild their packs in the eastern lands.
* [[S'Kra Mur]]: Strong and fast, but a bit slow upstairs. Humanoids with lizardlike features, the S'Kra Mur have a strange culture that has strange concepts of honor and kinship.

A table giving more detail on attribute aptitudes can be found [[Attributes#Racial Bonuses|here]].

A character's race affects the character's [[attributes]] (number of [[Time Development Points]] needed to raise an attribute by one point) and mostly RP-elements (e.g. tail verbs for races with tails).

There are no "racial traits" (e.g. infravision) or "racial abilities" (e.g. faerie fire) as may be found in other games.

===[[Guilds]]===

If you were wondering why you didn't get to choose what class your character is during character creation, it's because DragonRealms treats character class a little differently. Instead of character classes, characters in DragonRealms join guilds. All characters start as Commoners. Then, you can choose to join one of the 11 guilds in Elanthia: [[Barbarian]], [[Bard]], [[Cleric]], [[Empath]], [[Moon Mage]], [[Necromancer]], [[Paladin]], [[Ranger]], [[Thief]], [[Trader]], and [[Warrior Mage]].

You can type {{com|DIR}} ''<guild>'' while in the city for directions to 9 of the guilds. However, the location of two of the guilds, Thieves and Necromancers, are considered puzzles.

Also, due to unique mechanics that apply only to necromancers, it is not recommended that a new player join the Necromancer guild.

A short description for each guild follows, but it should be kept in mind that these are general stereotypes and areas of strength for the guilds. With enough effort and time, any character of any race or guild can become great at anything.

* [[Barbarian]]: The guild of fighters. They excel at weapon learning and utilize the poorly understood power of Inner Fire to accomplish amazing feats, but give up the ability to use magic to do so.
* [[Bard]]: A strange mix of warrior, musician, and historian, Bards wield magic in their songs, but still maintain a strong skill in mundane martial attacks. With their focus on scholarly pursuits, Bards make excellent craftsmen.
* [[Cleric]]: Whether crusading to destroy the foul undead or tending to spirits of the fallen, Clerics represent all the gods of Elanthia, good and evil. For their devotion, the gods reward them with amazing magics.
* [[Empath]]: The Empath guild is one of healing. Through their powerful supernatural connections to others, they are able to draw injuries to themselves and then heal it with their magic. The side effect is that any harm done to living or once living creatures cause feedback that can cripple their abilities. While some Empaths like to ascribe this as a moral issue, the numerous lifeless constructs that have fallen to more warlike empaths seems to discount this.
* [[Moon Mage]]: They are masters of predicting the future from the stars and planets, as well as a wide mix of powerful spells. The Moon Mage guild is made up of numerous sub-sects, and has a history of producing some mages with an unhealthy interest in politics.
* [[Necromancer]]: This guild is intentionally designed as a hard mode for long-time players. Everything is more difficult, and the consequences for making a mistake are more severe. If you are reading this guide, you do not have experience necessary to play them.
* [[Paladin]]: Holy warriors, these masters of defense are held by the gods to a higher standard of honor than others, but are granted powers by the purity of their souls. Though they are primarily warriors of the sword and shield, their cause is bolstered by dabbling in holy magics unshared with clerics.
* [[Ranger]]: The classic woodland warrior, Rangers mix magic, stealth, and weapons to create a potent force. However, their abilities wane when too much time is spent in cities, so it is rare to see a Ranger in town for long.
* [[Thief]]: The pesky fellows who take your money and stab you in the back before you see them. While not as bad as the Necromancer guild, the Thief guild is more difficult, including puzzles just to find their guildhouse. Not recommended for people who need this guide.
* [[Trader]]: Masters of commerce and the power of money, Traders criss-cross the lands with their caravans delivering goods, or set up shops in the major city's plazas to market their wares to adventurers. Between their aptitude for crafting and ability to rent shops, Traders make, by far, the best merchants. ''Note: Traders have had a history of little development, however they are slated to receive access to their own magic system at some point in the near future.''
* [[Warrior Mage]]: Masters of the six elements, Warrior Mages are the classic fireball-throwing mages of fantasy. Luckily for them, no rules restrict them to robes or nightshirts, though they are less adept at wearing armor than the average adventurer. Their typical response is to simply kill everything before it gets near them.

The last, and very rarely chosen option is to remain a Commoner. Commoners will never gain any promotions, or any special abilities, as long as they remain a commoner. Some people choose this path for roleplaying reasons, or because they are preparing for a guild later, since Commoners learn everything moderately well. '''It is highly advised that a guild be chosen.'''

Once you reach your chosen guild using the {{tt|dir}} command, proceed to the area with the Guildmaster and type {{com|join}} twice. If at that point, the guildmaster informs you that you do not have the correct stats for the guild, he or she will offer to train you to the minimums.

It should be noted that once you join a guild, you cannot change it, with the exception of anyone joining the Barbarian's Guild. If you feel you chose poorly, the only choice is to find an inn and {{com|check}} {{tt|in}}, to reset your character.

===[[Attributes]]===
Each character has eight [[attributes]] or [[stats]]. They are: [[Strength]], [[Reflex]], [[Agility]], [[Charisma]], [[Discipline]], [[Wisdom]], [[Intelligence]], and [[Stamina]]. You can check your character's [[attributes]], among other information, by using the >'''INFO''' command.

[[Time Development Points]], known as TDPs, and a negligible amount of coins are used to increase attributes. The number of TDPs needed to increase each attribute increases as that attribute increases. It is not affected by the number of points in other attributes. It is affected by the character's [[Races|race]].

TDPs are granted each time a character circles, as well as gradually by training skills. At first, the number of TDPs received from circling will provide the majority of the TDPs a character has. However, at higher circles, the number of TDPs received from training skills will outpace the TDPs received from circling. This is especially true if the player elects to train more skills than the minimum required to circle.

===[[Skills]]===

In DragonRealms, the success of actions (e.g. attacking) is determined by a character's experience with the respective skill. Want to climb that mountain? That requires Athletics. Want to swing that broadsword? Heavy Edged. Every challenge will require a certain number of ranks in the appropriate skill, and in order to train a given skill, you must attempt an appropriate challenge to your current skill ranks. If you're a champion of skinning the rarest beasts in the land, skinning a ships rat won't provide a challenge, and as such, won't teach you further skinning ranks.

All skills in the game are broken into five categories: [[Armor Skillset|Armor]], [[Lore Skillset|Lore]], [[:Category:Supernatural Skillset|Magic]], [[Survival Skillset|Survival]], and [[:Category:Weapon Skillset|Weapons]]. Skills that are trained in combat require an appropriate challenge, which means finding a creature that is difficult enough to provide a challenge.

===[[Experience]]===

Unlike some level-based MMORPGs and MUDs, DragonRealms has a skill-based experience system. Rather than getting generic experience points every time you complete a quest or kill a creature, DragonRealms awards characters with field experience in a specific [[skill]] any time your character does something that uses that skill. If you want your character to be better at casting a certain type of spell, you need to cast that type of spell. Want to be a better fighter? Pick up a sword and go hit things with it. If being sneaky or crafting is something you might be interested in, there is a skill for that as well. Using any skill will award field experience, which will be converted to ranks over time. Think of field experience like studying for a test, where you need some time afterwards for everything to really sink in.

The way skills gain in ranks in DragonRealms may also be somewhat confusing at first. Field experience is tracked by looking at your mindstate, which increases from Clear (0/34) to Mind Lock (34/34). Over time, Field Experience will drain, and in doing so, will convert into actual ranks in the skill. Skills are broadly separated into Armor, Weapons, Magic, Survival, and Lore, and each guild has a bonus in learning one group of skills, but learns other skills slower. If you look at the article for each [[guild]], each guild has one primary skill group, two secondary skill groups, and two tertiary skill groups. Skills in a character's primary skill group are easiest to train, secondary skill groups the next, and tertiary take the longest to train.

Typing >'''EXPERIENCE''' will display skills with field experience. To see your total experience in all ranks, type >'''EXPERIENCE ALL'''. To check your experience in a given skillset, type >'''EXPERIENCE WEAPON''', >'''EXPERIENCE LORE''', >'''EXPERIENCE MAGIC''', >'''EXPERIENCE ARMOR''', or >'''EXPERIENCE SURVIVAL'''. Adding '''ALL''' will also include skills without any field experience. You may also check an individual skills progress by typing >'''EXPERIENCE LOCKSMITHING''', for example, to check Locksmithing.

:Subscribed players receive [[Experience#Experience_drain_at_login|experience drain]] when they log in. For 100% experience drain it takes 6 hours offline, or 8 hours offline if a warning has been received in the last 180 days.
:[[Free to play]] players '''do not''' receive experience drain at log in, unless they [[https://store.play.net/store/purchase/dr| get a pass from the SIMUCOIN store]].
:Some players choose to [[Idle experience drain|drain experience while idle online]] regardless of their account type or offline drain options.

===[[Circle|Character Advancement]]===

In DragonRealms, a character's level is called their 'circle'. If someone says they are 20th circle, they have reached the minimum requirements to advance with the guild leader 19 times, as all characters start at 1st circle. 'Circling' is also used as a verb to describe the act of leveling up. Each guild requires a certain number of ranks in various skills to circle. The skills required are often flexible. For example, the requirements are often X ranks in each of the highest Y skills in a skill group. The exact skill (e.g. small edge or large edge) can be freely chosen by the player, although some skills cannot be used. There are also sometimes requirements for specific skills. To circle, a player must fulfill all the requirements. It is possible for a character's skills to be significantly higher than the minimum required for their circle, either by not meeting the minimum skill requirement to circle in a different skill or by choosing not to circle, as it is done manually. To circle, find your guild leader and {{tt|ASK <LEADER> ABOUT CIRCLE}}.

===[[Inventory (concept)|Inventory]]===

For you to carry anything other than coins, they must be carried in your hands, worn on the body, or placed in a container. Naturally, you may carry only two items at a time. In addition, how many items you may wear depends on where the item is worn.


Each item you have, including coins, has a weight. Items that are worn on the body have their weight reduced, while items that are in containers, such as a [[:Item:Sturdy backpack|sturdy backpack]], will count towards your [[encumbrance]]. Being encumbered has various penalties to your character, perhaps the most important of which is a penalty to [[evasion]]. You may increase the amount of weight you can carry without becoming encumbered by increasing [[strength]] and/or [[stamina]].

===[[Damage|Health]]===

DragonRealms doesn't employ the "hit point" system, per se, though [[vitality]] and [[spirit]] are similar. Instead, each body part (head, each eye, neck, chest, abdomen, back, each arm, each hand, each leg, and the nervous system) takes [[damage]], which can be either external or internal, and fresh or scars. Injuries a player receives are almost always fresh, which become scars after they are healed. The scars then, in turn, need to be healed. As you are injured more in an area, the damage becomes more severe. For example, they may start as minor abrasions and end up as a stump if you are not careful. When a critical body part (head, neck, chest, abdomen, or back) is destroyed, the character will die. Players may also die if their vitality reaches zero, or if their spirit health reaches zero. Spirit health is not as commonly used when compared to vitality. When the severity of fresh injuries reach a certain threshold, they begin to bleed. External wounds may be >'''TEND'''ed, utilizing the [[First Aid]] skill to stop the bleeding, but there is no similar option for internal wounds.

Vitality and spirit health will regenerate naturally. Wounds and scars need to be healed by [[Empath|empaths]], some [[Hospitals|NPC Empaths]] (such as [[Mirinn]]), [[healing herbs]], and [[Remedies Products|remedies products]].

In addition, there are also poisons, diseases, and parasites that can affect the character's health.

===[[Currency|Money]]===

Money comes in the form of coins, with denominations of copper, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum, each worth 10 of the previous denomination. In addition, there are three currencies: Kronars, Lirums, and Dokoras. They may be exchanged for each other at a bank for a small fee. Dokoras are worth the most, followed by Lirums, and Kronars the least. Shops in different areas will demand payment in their "home" currency. When discussing price for items between players, it is usually discussed using Kronars.

Coins do have physical properties but are not quite the same as normal items. See [[currency]] for details.

===[[Death]] and [[Favors]]===

At some point, [[death]] comes to everyone in Elanthia. Death isn't permanent, but in DragonRealms it does works differently than in many other MMORPGs and MUDs. Your character can die from a loss of [[vitality]], a loss of [[spirit]] health, or having a critical body part sufficiently [[Damage|damaged]] or removed. Any field experience not yet converted to ranks is lost, and your character will drop anything you were holding in your hands. Once you die, your options for communicating with other players are limited. You will be able to speak to other players that come by, and other players can DRAG you, but you are unable to move on your own.

Your character can come back to life a few different ways. The two most common are for a cleric to [[Resurrection|resurrect]] you, or for your character to >'''DEPART'''. In order for a [[cleric]] to resurrect you, an [[empath]] will first need to heal any major wounds that your character might posses. Being resurrected by a cleric is the best way to come back from the dead, but isn't always available. The other way for your character to come back to life is to use the >'''DEPART''' command. New characters have a free depart option that last until second circle (level), or it has been used 5 times. These initial 5 departs allow you to return to life at the nearest resurrection location with all your items and coins still in your possession.

For characters who have expended their free departs, or advanced past first circle, the >'''DEPART''' command will, by default, cause all of the coins your character was carrying to be lost, and all of your items to go into a grave in the room where you died. Any items you were carrying may also have been dropped at your characters feet, and not in the grave. Items in a grave have some small measure of protection, but it is possible for another player to take items from the grave and not return them. Some protections are in place to keep the would-be thief from logging out with your hard-won items or running to a 'safe' room, but these protections don't last forever. You can claim the items from your grave with the command '''Dig Grave'''

To minimize the penalties to the >'''DEPART''' command, players should have multiple [[favors]] at all times. To the character, a favor represents your character making some sort of sacrifice to the [[Immortals]], the gods of Elanthia. In exchange for that sacrifice, the gods will let your character return from the dead. What this means to us, the players, is that your character will have to complete a puzzle to get a favor orb, fill the orb with field experience, and place the orb on an altar devoted to one of the gods. Orbs are filled using the >'''RUB''' or >'''HUG''' command, with rub transferring a little field experience, and hug filling the orb completely.

The amount of field experience needed to fill each favor orb increases with increasing circle and increasing number of favors. As a rule of thumb, you should try to have 10 or more favors at any time. You can see the number of favors when you use the >'''INFO''' or >'''EXP''' command.

==Helpful Terminology==

In any game, you'll come across terms that are used by long-time players that can sometimes be confusing to new players. Some of the more common terms will be listed here to help you better understand what other players are talking about.

'''Verb''' - Typically when players refer to verbs, they are referring to an item that you can use a command on, though for some people verb holds the same meaning as command does. As an example, if someone says they have a 'verbed cloak', this might mean they have a cloak, but when you {{tt|SHAKE MY CLOAK}} while the cloak is worn on your character, you might see your character shaking dust out of the hem. Verbs, whether on items or not, give you additional ways to express things that your character is doing.

'''Gweth''' - Short for gwethdesuan. Gwethdesuans are items that can be used for communication at a distance via a thought network. If you are wearing one, you can {{tt|THINK}} ''<message>'' to broadcast a message to anyone else with the same type of gwethdesuan within range. So for example, to send out "Hello world!" on the thought network, you would input {{tt|THINK Hello world!}} into your text-entry field and press your ENTER key.

'''Making Money''' - The primary means most players earn money in DragonRealms is by hunting the various NPC critters that inhabit the lands. Critters will drop coins, small gems, junk gear, and lockboxes. You may also {{tt|SKIN}} some creatures for valuable pelts, skins, hides, horns, paws, teeth, etc. Generally speaking, gems can be sold in gemshops, while skins/pelts/etc may be sold at tanneries. Lockboxes must be opened by a locksmith with sufficient LOCKSMITHING, and will often contain gems and coins. Not surprisingly, more difficult creatures tend to have more valuable loot.

'''Equipment''' - Starting towns with have places to purchase weapons and armor, and this store bought gear will be sufficient to get you started adventuring. APPRAISE the gear you have to determine what skills it will train, for example, a Scimitar trains the Small Edge skill, while a Broadsword trains the Heavy Edge skill. There are no irreversibly wrong decisions to be made when starting to train your character, though it's a good idea to speak with some people for advice on what skills to focus on, and therefor what gear you should seek out. Sooner or later, you'll want to upgrade to player crafted gear, which is superior to store bought, and can range in price dramatically depending on the materials. Many players will donate player crafted gear to new players, so ask around.

As a very general rule of thumb that is by no means a hard and fast rule, Weapon or Armor Tertiary guilds will be better served using lighter and faster weapons, and less hindering and less protecting armors, though there are frequent exceptions to this rule. For example, for a Moon Mage, a good starting set of weapons would be a Scimitar (Small Edge), a Mace (Small Blunt), a Throwing Club (Light Thrown) and a Shortbow (Bows), while a good set of armor may be all cloth or leather (Light Armor), and rotating Chain Greaves (chain). Comparitively, a Paladin will probably want to train a larger number of armors, focusing on heavier pieces, and use heavier weapons. That said, there are advantages and disadvantages to each weapon and armor type, so do some research and figure out how you want to craft your character.

==General Walkthrough after Character Creation==

===Gear===
While the character creation process will provide you with basic armor and a weapon, there a few other things you will need to begin adventuring (mostly) safely. To begin with, spend some time wandering around your starting town, trying to find the [[Grizzled_old_war_veteran|grizzled old war Veteran]] (Crossing) or [[Sir_Robyn|Sir Robyn]] (Riverhaven). Visit their pages to see the syntax for exchanging your starting gear with those NPCs for a weapon and armor that fit your play style and character concept. In DragonRealms you can make just about any armor/weapon combination work. If you are planning on joining a heavy stealth guild (Necromancer, Ranger, Thief) or planning on seriously training stealth for any other character, I would recommend light armor. Paladins, plate armor, and all others chain armor. Feel free to speak to other members of your guild for more detailed advice. When it comes to weapons, a scimitar or broadsword will suit anyone well, through let your character concept be your guide here.

Now that you've wandered around and probably gotten thoroughly lost, it's time to learn a great command for getting around town, the [[Dir_command|DIRECTION]] command (abbreviated DIR). This will allow you to easily navigate to where you need to go.

Next order of business; obtain a shield. To accomplish this you can use DIRection ARMOR and follow the cues. Once you make it to the shop, you can SHOP to see which surfaces have items for sale and SHOP [SURFACE] to see what is for sale on each surface. You can also use the [[Wealth_command|WEALTH]] command to see how much money you have. In Crossing, you can get a {{ilink|s|metal target shield}} from [[Tembeg%27s_Armory|Tembeg's Armory]]. Some shops use different syntax to make purchases. If SHOP isn't working, try ORDER or READ CATALOG or READ MENU. A shop's elanthipedia page may also list the specific syntax it uses.

A shield is your first priority, and then if you have extra money you will want to purchase the remaining pieces of armor for your head, eyes, neck, chest, abdomen, back, and legs. The shop you purchased a shield from will have these items. (Note: if you purchase the "helm," it will likely not cover the eyes. You will need to add a mask, or just purchase a balaclava or cowl instead for full coverage.)

Now that your armor is taken care of, ''if you are a magic user'' you should also purchase a piece of cambrinth. [[Cambrinth]] is a magical metal that stores mana, and the primary means of training the Arcana skill. DIRection ARTIFICER will either take you to [[Herilo%27s_Artifacts|Herilo's Artifacts]] (Crossing) shop or [[Zanthron%27s_Artificer_Shop|Zanthron's Artificer Shop]] (Riverhaven). Once in Herilo's, you can use the SHOP command to see what is available. Any of the 'scrap' type cambrinth pieces in the metal bucket will do. If you started in Riverhaven, Zanthron's has no good options for new players, so consider a trip to Crossing in the not too distant future. Exploration is fun!

There are also a number of [[Donation racks|donation racks]] scattered around town. Other players have donated various items here that are free for anyone who needs them.

===Preparation===
We'll begin with the shield, and if you were able to obtain a small-sized target shield, we will go over how to wear it on your arm. If you were unable to obtain a target shield and are using an oval shield, skip to the next paragraph because you have to hold an oval shield for it to work. With a target shield, hold your shield in your hand and ADJUST SHIELD. This will switch the shield between two methods of wearing it: over your shoulder, or attached to your forearm. The message you will be looking for is this: '''''You adjust the straps of your shield, tightening them so that it will fit securely upon your left arm.''''' After you have adjusted it properly, WEAR SHIELD.

Now that you have a shield, held or worn, let's cover the [[Stance_command|STANCE]] command to make sure you're using the shield. STANCE SHIELD will allow you to use your Shield (100%) and Evasion (80%) skills. This is the safest stance for young adventurers, as your new armor will greatly hinder evasion until you have more ranks in its use. Once you enter combat and have a weapon in your right hand, you can STANCE PARRY to train the Parry skill. However, it is always best and safest to return to STANCE SHIELD as your default. Once you have an arm-worn small shield and are in shield stance, you can be at full defensive power all the time no matter what you are doing. Again, if you have an oval (or any medium sized) shield, you must be holding it in your left hand to use it. Eventually Paladins will be able to arm-wear a large-sized shield in this manner, while Barbarians, Rangers, and Traders will be able to arm-wear medium shields. Speak with other members of your guild to learn the pros and cons of these larger shields, but know that an arm-worn small shield is still the choice of most players and will serve any young adventurer well.

===Joining a Guild===
Now that you are fully equipped and ready to adventure, it is time to join the guild of your choice! Use the trusty DIRection command to get to the guild of your choosing, and find the Guildleader. Once there, you can type JOIN and listen to what they have to say.

===Your First Coins===
If you decided to start in Crossing, there is a peddler named Mags that you may want to visit. [[Mags]] recognizes characters new to crossing, and will give them coins in exchange for bringing her branches. The closest place to find branches is outside the Northeast Gate, so I would suggest heading there. First, though, I would suggest going by [[Berolt's Dry Goods]] (DIR general store) and replacing your starting pack with a slightly larger backpack. Note that you can only wear one thing on your back at a time.

New bag in hand (on your back), it's time to head to the Northeast gate, which you can find using DIR Northeast gate. Once you are outside the gate (the area description will start with "Northeast Wilds"), you can start foraging for branches with the FORAGE command by typing FORAGE BRANCH. Put as many branches in your backpack as you can carry, and then it's time to go back to Mags. Mags can be found outside the Reflex training academy, which you can find with DIR REFLEX. Mags is waiting right outside, so either stop when the directions prompt you to GO REFLEX, or go in and then step back out. Mags will accept branches individually, or you can remove your backpack and GIVE BACKPACK TO MAGS. She will take out all the branches and give you between 1 and 2 bronze per branch. New characters can earn around 2 gold kronars in total by giving branches to Mags before she tells you that you need to move on in your adventuring career.

In Riverhaven, there is also a peddler named Maisie that will exchange coins for branches.

==Walkthrough of Your Magic Skills==
While [[Magic]] in DragonRealms is used to some extent by every guild, Thieves and Barbarians train it in their own way. This section covers the prepare/cast mechanics that magic-using guilds utilize to train magic. Each spell has a 'Minimum Prep' or minimum amount of mana that it can be cast at. Anything above that is at the mage's discretion. The more mana funneled into a spell, the more difficult it is to cast, and that amount is determined by their skill in their primary magic skill (e.g., Lunar Magic for Moon Mages, Elemental Magic for Warrior Mages) and their skill in the type of spell being cast. For a more in-depth explanation of magic in DragonRealms, you can read the lore behind [[Magical_theory|Magical Theory]].

To see your list of spells, see the {{com|spells}} command. Magic using characters have access to [[Apprentice spells]] from 1st to 10th circle as an aid to learning magic skills. Upon advancement to 11th circle you lose these spells.

You can use the {{com|discern}} {{tt|<spellname>}} command to see an estimate on how much mana you can {{tt|prepare}} a spell at based on your current skill.

===[[Attunement_skill|Attunement]]===
Attunement is your ability to [[Power_Perceive_skill|detect]] and [[Harness_Ability_skill|harness]] mana for your use. This is trained by using one of the following commands: PERCEIVE, CONCENTRATE, or POWER. Each time you do this in a room, there is a 60 second timer until you can learn from it again. To train this skill effectively you want to check POWER, then move to a different room, check the POWER, move again, POWER again, and so on. Alternately you can stay in the same room and check the POWER once per minute. To start with the act of casting a spell or charging [[Cambrinth]] will provide a little [[Attunement]] experience but this will quickly become insignificant. You can also train [[Attunement]] by preparing a spell and then HARNESSING so mana to increase its power before you cast it but this runs the risk of causing [[Damage|Nerve Damage]], which can impair your ability to cast spells.

===[[Arcana]]===
Arcana is the skill of magical item use, mostly trained through [[Runestones]] and [[Cambrinth]]. To train, you will be using the cambrinth item you purchased in the walkthrough. If you are fortunate enough to acquire a [[Runestone]], which can often be found in the [[Donation racks|donation bin]] of the [[Crossing]] cleric guild, you can train by FOCUSing on it. If you find a [[Runestone]] that contains an Elemental, Life or Lunar spell you will also learn [[Sorcery]] until around 60-80 ranks.

===[[Primary_Magic|'Primary' Magic]]===
Arcane, Elemental, Holy, Life and Lunar Magic are considered your guild's Primary Magic, or 'Ur Magic' skill, and will train passively while casting any spells from your Guild's spell book.

====[[Augmentation]], [[Utility_skill|Utility]], [[Warding_skill|Warding]]====
All of these skills are trained in the same way. For the sake of this Newbie Guide, all spells should follow the same pattern: (with exceptions to be discussed later)
#{{com|Prepare}} ''<spell>''
#Wait until you see: '''''You feel fully prepared to cast your spell.'''''
#Add Mana
##via {{com|Harness}} ''<amount>''
##via [[Cambrinth]]
###{{tt|charge}} ''<item>'' ''<amount>''
###{{tt|invoke}} ''<item>''
#{{com|Cast}}
The ''<item>'' in the invoke example is the scrap/sliver/shaving you will buy from the Artificer (if following the Walkthrough). As you're just starting out, the ''<amount>'' will only be 1 or 2 as you won't yet have the skill to put much extra mana in your spells. You can split it up however you like, in increments as small as 1. You can {{tt|HARNESS 1}} '''and''' {{Tt|CHARGE 1}}/{{tt|INVOKE}} with cambrinth for a total of 2 extra mana. Eventually you will also be able to cast before the spell is fully prepared, though at low skill levels you risk backfiring and damaging your nerves.

====[[Debilitation]]====
Trained in the same way as above, though it also requires you be casting on an enemy in the proper skill range. Debilitation spells and skills follow a slightly different paradigm than Targeted spells. Skill in Debilitation determines if the spell will connect, and then a [[Contested Abilities|stat contest]] is performed. If the contest is successful, the spell or ability will affect the target. If the contest fails, the spell or ability will be resisted.

Success is not binary; a marginal success will result in a slight effect, while a catastrophic failure will result in a large effect.

====[[Targeted Magic]]====
Targeted Magic spells are cast the same as any others but with one extra step: TARGETing the spell at a critter.
#{{com|Target}} ''<spell abbreviation>'' (this will default to the enemy you are currently facing)
#Wait until you see: '''''Your formation of a targeting pattern around a ''<target>'' has completed.'''''
#Proceed as above with adding mana and {{tt|CAST}}ing.

As you obtain more complicated spells, especially ones that effect an entire area, pay close attention to the different options of the [[Target_command|TARGET command]]

===Barbarian and Thief 'Magic'===
Placed here because the skills used are the same. I'm sure Rhadyn will have choice words on whether or not Barbarians actually use magic. Both are trained completely differently than traditional magic; see the [[Barbarian_Newbie_Help_Guide|Barbarian Newbie Guide]] or [[Thief_Newbie_Help_Guide|Thief Newbie Guide]] for more detail.

==Walkthrough of your first Combat==
===Defenses===
The first thing to consider before combat is how you're defending yourself. There are three ways to do this:
* Evasion is simply getting out of the way. This is the most basic defense because it can be done in any circumstances.
* Parry is blocking attacks with your weapon. This requires having a weapon in your right hand and is effective with larger weapons.
* Shield is blocking with your shield. This requires a shield either in your left hand or on your arm (use {{com|adjust}} to change where the shield is worn).

The {{com|stance}} command controls how you defend yourself. You have 180 points to spend between the three defenses and most people use a 100/80 defense stance, with 100 points in one defense and 80 in another. The most common is 100 evasion, 80 in either shield or parry, depending on which you want to learn at the moment.

===Finding a Target===
There are two common starting creatures, ship rats and sleezy louts. Ship rats are in Barana's Shipyard, and can be found via {{tt|dir ship}}. Sleezy louts are outside the Eastern Gate and can be found via {{tt|dir east}}.

Once you get to the hunting area, it may take a bit of time before a target shows up, so it may be a good idea to slowly wander around, looking for already spawned targets. Keep in mind, that according to common hunting etiquette, creatures that are in an occupied room are owned by the person in there, so you will need to search for an empty room.

===Attacking===
Once you've found a target, you'll want to {{com|advance}} on them, to get close enough to attack. There are three ranges: missile range where only bows and thrown weapons can reach, pole range where only very long weapons such as polearms can reach, and melee range where any weapon can reach.

Once you've gotten to melee range on your target, you'll want to begin with a basic series of attacks. Each weapon has a basic type of attack that's neither great nor terrible and is good for basic combat. In addition, they also have a power attack that is good to use when you're at an advantage, such as when you have stunned your opponent.

{| border="1"
! Type !! Basic Move !! Power Move
|-
| Slicing || {{com|slice}} || {{Com|chop}}
|-
| Blunt || {{com|swing}} || {{com|bash}}
|-
| Piercing || {{com|thrust}} || {{com|lunge}}
|}

It is important to keep an eye on your [[fatigue]] in combat, as attacking too quickly can drain it to the point where you fall over.

===So You've Killed Your Target===
Once you've killed your target, there's two possible things you can do. The first is to {{com|skin}} it, which may produce a valuable skin you can sell later. Second, you should {{com|loot}} it, which will search it for any treasure. You'll want to stow both of these away.

==Useful Tips==
The command '''Dir Help''' will bring up a list of commands relating to moving around town. Typing in '''Dir''' and a location will give you screen by screen instructions on how to get to that location in town. You can also enter in '''Dir (location name) 15''' and the system will give you a sequential list of the next 15 directions to move in to reach that location. Most Front-Ends will also make those directions a series of clickable links for ease of use.

You will start the game with an item called a [[Item:Divine_charm|Divine Charm]]. This item has several handy uses for a new player including the ability to heal you, teleport you back to your guild, and help you carry heavier loads. As you gain skills and circles this item's value will diminish, so use it whilst you can! Use the command '''Turn Divine Charm''' to select an ability and '''Invoke Divine Charm''' to use the current selection.

Visit the tanner early on and '''Ask (tanner name) for rope'''. He will provide you with an item called a bundling rope free of charge. This handy piece of equipment will allow you to easily manage the skins you acquire whilst hunting. After defeating a creature you can '''Arrange (dead critter name)''' to prepare a skin for better quality. This may be done up to five times in succession to acquire the highest chance for improved quality. After arranging the skin, then type '''Skin (dead critter name)''' whilst holding a bladed item and you will acquire a skin from it. Next, hold the skin in one hand and the bundling rope in the other, and type '''Bundle (name of skin)''' and it will turn them into a lumpy bundle. Finally, type '''Wear Bundle''' to sling it over your shoulder. Once this has been done, every time you skin a creature you will automatically add it to the bundle, saving an immense amount of time and typing. Typing '''Appraise Bundle''' when not in combat will provide a healthy boost to your appraisal skill, and selling the bundle (after using the '''Remove Bundle''' command) will allow you to get the money for it in one fell swoop; the tanner will even return the rope to you for reuse. Further commands for your bundles can be found at [[Item:Lumpy bundle]] and details on skinning are found at [[Skinning skill]]

Similar to the bundling rope, a lockpick ring is a wearable item that can store up to 25 lockpicks of a single type. Once lockpicks are added to the lockpick ring and the ring is worn, you will automatically use those lockpicks whenever using the pick command without needing to hold them in hand. Specific details on the item can be found at the [[Lockpick rings]] page.

The '''Store''' and '''Stow''' commands allow you to more easily organize your items. Read up on the specifics here: [[Store command]] or type '''Store Help''' in-game.

'''First Aid''' is an invaluable skill, and you can't really learn it without getting hurt. It is a perfectly acceptable practice to ask any empath to "leave a bleeder" behind when healing you, so that you can continue to train the skill without serious danger to yourself. Be forewarned that eventually wounds will worsen and your skill likely won't be able to keep up with them, especially if you have internal bleeding. If you notice your health is dipping lower than it is regenerating even when tended, it is time to get to a healer quickly. In the crossing many healers tend to be found just outside the Empath's Guild and will heal you for free if you simply ask politely for healing. Just don't lie down there, because it's a busy street and NPCs can and will literally trample you to death. Learn more about the [[First Aid skill]] here.

'''Forage''' is a commonly used command that can produce results when used on its own, but the chances of finding a particular item are immensely improved by putting that item name after the forage command. For example '''Forage Stick''' will produce a stick for you nearly every time you search where simply foraging might produce one every 1 in 20 tries. Read more about foraging here: [[Foraging]]. Similar to foraging is the [[Collect command]], which produces items that are left in rooms rather than collected in inventory. The '''collect''' command is one of the best ways for an early player to train their [[Outdoorsmanship skill]] and [[Perception skill]]; '''collect rock''' when outdoors or '''collect wood splinter''' when indoors to raise those skills into at least the 80s. Be careful when using those commands to not pluralize them with "rocks" or "splinters" because then they will not work! More items to collect for higher skill ranks can be found as well. Just don't forget to '''Kick pile''' after collecting an item; it is the polite thing to do.

'''Athletics''' can be learned easily by heading to Arthe Dale, the first town outside of The Crossing, a short and safe distance out of the northeast gate. The Arthe Dale Swimming Hole is an outstanding place to learn your [[Athletics skill]]. Just Dive Hole outside the swimming hole and then head West, South, East, North over and over to raise the skill. As your athletics skill increases, the roundtime will decrease between each room.

If you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, you may end up in the stocks. '''Plead''' is a command that can sometimes get you out of the stocks more quickly. In this instance your items should be returned to you by the guard after you are freed. If you receive a fine, you will need to pay it off before you can get your items back. Use the Dir Help command to guide you to the debtor's office in town. Head to the Guard House after paying off the debt and use the command "Get (your name) Sack" to obtain your items.

==How to Search Elanthipedia==

===Basic and Advanced Search===

Elanthipedia has a lot of useful content, but finding what you want is not always intuitive. Here are some tricks.

'''[https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=&fulltext=Search&profile=all&redirs=0 Basic Search]''': to perform a basic search, click the link, or scroll to the upper-right corner of the screen, and type your search term in the box. Click "Search."

'''[https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=&fulltext=Search&profile=advanced&redirs=0 Advanced Search]''': Sometimes, the basic search gives you too many results, and you want to narrow your search. You can reach the advanced search option by clicking the link by performing a basic search and then clicking the "''Advanced''" link.
:Under ''Search in namespaces'', you can choose which types of pages to include in your search. The most useful options are:
*'''(Main)''' any wiki page that is not in a special category (most articles and shops)
*'''Category''': any wiki page whose title begins with ''Category:''. This includes the main guild, race, and spell pages, for example, which link to more detailed information.
*'''Armor''': armor item pages (with looks, stats, shop locations, etc.)
*'''Shield''': shield item pages (with looks, stats, shop locations, etc.)
*'''Weapon''': weapon item pages (with looks, stats, shop locations, etc.)
*'''Item''': all other item pages (with looks, stats, shop locations, etc.)
*'''Post''': archived posts from the official Play.net forum
*'''Title''': titles (the kind your character wears around his name)
*Checking the "List redirects" option will include pages that just redirect you to another page.

===Special Queries===

In addition to the normal search options, Elanthipedia has some special query pages that let you search for particular content. To use them, simply select the options you want and click "run query" at the bottom.

*'''[[Special:RunQuery/ShopQuery|ShopQuery]]''': in the type field, include any of the merchandise types listed [[:Category:Shops_by_Type|here]]
*'''[[Special:RunQuery/WeaponQuery|WeaponQuery]]'''
*'''[[Special:RunQuery/ArmorQuery|ArmorQuery]]'''
*'''[[Special:RunQuery/ShieldQuery|ShieldQuery]]'''
*'''[[Special:RunQuery/ItemQuery|ItemQuery]]''': all other items
When using the four item query pages, "rare" means items that aren't normally available, such as quest prizes, festival merchandise, etc.

[[Special:RunQuery/BestiaryQuery|BestiaryQuery]]: Here you can search for huntable creatures by location, difficulty, types of loot dropped, etc.

[[Special:RunQuery/Post_Query|PostQuery]]: Search for archived posts from the official Play.net forum (separate topics with a comma)

==Commonly Asked Questions==
'''Q: Help! I'm confused and this guide isn't helping!'''
:A: That's not a question! Regardless, you can use the {{Com|advice}} or {{com|help}} commands, or speak to a [[Mentor]] (use {{com|dir}} {{tt|mentor}} to find one) for help. If none of those work, see if you can get another player to help, such as one of your guildmates. If all else fails, posting your problems on the forums can result in a wealth of helpful information. You are also encouraged to join the unofficial DragonRealms [[Discord]] text/voice chat service.

'''Q: Where is everyone?'''
:A: DragonRealms is a huge game, with tens of thousands of areas. This results in people being spread over a large area fairly thinly. Generally most areas will have a gathering spot, where people talk and teach. Because these spots are known to change, it would be impractical for this guide to try to list them, though [[Popular Gathering Places|this article]] attempts to.

'''Q: I see people around but none of them will respond to me. What's going on?'''
:A: Many people will run automated scripts to train skills that require repetive actions. The truth is that while it is against the rules to run them while not paying attention or away from the keyboard, it still happens to some degree. Some people skirt the edge by having the game window open but another window on top.
: However, do not assume that since someone will not talk to you that they are not there. Some people either for roleplay or other reasons will just simply ignore you.
: Regardless, do not let it discourage you, there are plenty of people out there to interact with once you know how to find them. Eventually you will be able to afford [[gwethdesuan]]s, magical devices that give you access to regional in character chat channels.

'''Q: Someone just killed me, and I didn't do anything. What do I do?'''
:A: There's two answers to this question. Either you got involved in something that gave someone "consent" on you, or you have met one of the infrequent but irritating people who enjoy killing for little or no reason.
: In the first case, there is not much you can do. There is a large set of rules for when someone can and cannot attack you. If you got in someone's face, yelled at them, insulted them, slapped then, or made a hostile move toward them, they are within their rights to kill you. {{com|News}} 5 24 and 5 25 goes into some detail about what's consent or not. Keep in mind, that certain actions you take can give everyone consent on you for a while, primarily stealing from another player. See the [[#Profile|Profile section]] for more detail.
: In the second case, you will have to decide whether it's worth your time and effort to contact a GM (via the {{com|assist}} command) and file a complaint. Some people refuse to assist even if someone broke the rules, and others have no issues. It is largely a personal choice, however it is a good idea to find somewhere private to do it if you do choose to complain.

'''Q: I'm stuck, or something broke, and no one is around to help!'''
:A: If you suspect you've encountered a bug, or that something is broken, your best bet is to use the {{com|assist}} command to ask for help from staff. Keep in mind, there is not always a staff member around, and even when there is there may be a wait.
: If something breaks drastically, like you end up in a room with no description, or your spell is creating gold coins out of nothing, use the {{com|report}} command. This is the 911 call for GM help, so use it sparingly. Generally if you're wondering if you should use it, {{tt|assist}} is the better route.

==Finding More Help==
Finding your community and additional IC (in character) and OOC (out of character) help is much more easier now. You can join the DR [[Discord]] at any time.

General new player guide

ERICA: Added link to Set It and (Don't) Forget It

{{RTOC}}
This is a page for the non-guild specific new player help guide.

==Introduction==

Hello! Thank you for stopping by the DragonRealms General Newbie Help Guide! This guide will try and help you get started with the game and teach you the ABSOLUTE basics.

==What is DragonRealms?==

DragonRealms is a MUD, which means it's a text-based multiplayer RPG. You connect to the game and the game's world is described to you in text, as if you were reading a book. You complete actions by entering text commands that you wish your character to accomplish. As long as the command is one recognized by the game, and you used it correctly, it will result in the main window of the game (typically called the Story window) listing the results of what happened. The interface and game world are almost entirely text-based, though there are some limited graphical features, such as certain things like health being able to be depicted in bar form.

DragonRealms takes place in Elanthia, which is a fantasy setting. There is magic, swords, bows and arrows and the like. There are minor elements indicative of slightly more technology than a strictly medieval setting would have (such as some steampunk style things like mechanical constructs and airships) but you won't find cars, guns, lasers or spaceships to be in-genre in any way.


==How to Use This Guide==

This guide will attempt to explain the basics of the game to you and get you on your way to adventuring! However, as in any tutorial, you will be required to input things yourself from time to time. When this guide references a command that you should type in, it will list it in the following fashion:

{{Tt|COMMAND}}

In this example, you would be expected to type the word "command" in your text-entry field in the game and then press your ENTER key. For the purposes of this guide, commands will be listed in all caps, but they can be entered however you wish.

Some commands require targets or modifiers. Usually these will be dependent on the context in which the command is used. As an example:

{{tt|COMMAND}} ''<object>''

In this example, you would be expected to type the word "command" in your text-entry field in the game, followed by the object you wanted to interact with before pressing ENTER. So if you were in a room with a picture and you wanted to look at it, you would type the following:

{{tt|LOOK PICTURE}}

In addition, modifiers may be used. For example, if there were both a blue picture and a red picture in the room and you wanted to look at the red one, you would type:

{{tt|LOOK RED PICTURE}}

Or, if there were two pictures but no identifying modifier (or as an alternative to a specific modifier like "red"), you may use numeric modifiers, like:

{{tt|LOOK SECOND PICTURE}}

Finally, modifiers may be combined, such as:

{{tt|LOOK MY SECOND RED PICTURE}}

which will look at the second red picture you have in your inventory.

Each section will have different information on the basics of the game and how to play, but understanding how to enter commands will be an essential part of following instructions in this (and other) guides.

Note that commands may be abbreviated. For example, {{tt|WAV BOB}} will wave at Bob. However, take care that when abbreviating commands, you do not abbreviate too much. For example, simply entering {{tt|W BOB}} will attempt to move the character one room to the west and the "BOB" portion will be ignored.

==Game Concepts==


==Character Creator==
When a character is first begun, they will be in a limbo world in which they will be able to choose many of their traits.

===Names===
Your name is actually one of the most important things about your character. It is the thing that everyone will see first, it is how people will talk about you, and it's how people will interact with you.

You initially will only be able to pick your first name, though later on you will have the option of adding a family name.

The rules are fairly straightforward. Your first name must be unique, not contain any real life references (Microwave is not going to work), drug references, profanities, numbers, titles (Lordnose, Kingbrave, etc. won't make it) or references to major literary characters (leave your Drizzt clone at home, or at least give him/her a creative name). If you violate these rules, it may get past the automatic filters, but a [[GameMaster]] will probably visit you later and make you change it.

Rule of thumb is that if you'd be ashamed to have it on your birth certificate, consider picking something else.

Now, already you may have seen people with names that violate one or more of these rules. What it comes down to is that DR has been around 15+ years and the rules have not always been stringently enforced, or even terribly well defined. If you see one of these names, understand that they've probably been playing for years and pity has been taken on them so that they wouldn't need to rebuild all their old friends/enemies if their name suddenly changed.

'''Note''': When the character manager prompts you to enter your character's name choice, do not type the parentheses. 
The proper syntax is {{tt|Choose Bob}} rather than {{tt|Choose (Bob)}}.
:(Where ''Bob'' is the name the name you've chosen for your character).

===Genders===
In DragonRealms, gender means little. While you might occasionally have different reactions from people, there is no real benefit to either gender.

===[[Races]]===
The second major choice you will face is your race. Your race primarily determines how much it will cost you to improve your stats. Each race has several areas in which they are excellent at, and several which they are lacking.

It should be noted that there is no coherent system of racial bonuses beyond the stat training. For example, while a specific shopkeeper might treat all dwarves better or insult elves, the one across the street may have wildly different reactions, or none at all.

While you may pick a race with an eye towards a specific style or guild, it is '''highly''' advised that races be picked on the basis of which culture the player enjoys. Some of the most interesting characters can come from mismatched choices (gnome barbarian anyone?).

* [[Dwarf]]: Slow, tough, and disciplined. The hairy rock-kissers of fantasy you know and love, even the women can grow beards.
* [[Elf]]: Fast and charismatic, elves are slightly weaker and frailer than humans. Tall, long-lived, and tending toward naturistic, elves come in a variety of subtypes that can drastically affect their views of the world.
* [[Elothean]]: Incredibly intelligent but weak and frail. A people that value knowledge over almost everything else, and have a strange inability to grow hair on most of their heads, Elotheans push the boundaries of nearly every intellectual pursuit.
* [[Gnome]]: Agile and intelligent, but weak and frail. These are short folks with keen minds and an affinity for mechanical devices and magic.
* [[Gor'Tog]]: Strong, tough, but not terribly bright. They are huge, hairless, green giants that tend towards physical labor.
* [[Halfling]]: Agile, tough, but weak and undisciplined. The short folks with the hairy feet and a love of food, drink, food, sleeping, and food. Don't discount them, or you might find they've run off with your money while you were calling them names.
* [[Human]]: Humans lack any particular strengths, but also any weaknesses. As widely varied as any real life group, humans can be found doing nearly anything almost anywhere.
* [[Kaldar]]: Strong and charismatic, but often disdainful of mental pursuits. Looking much like large, bulky humans, Kaldar are a refugee splinter group from the warlike [[Gorbesh]].
* [[Prydaen]]: Fast and charismatic, but poorly disciplined and prone to lacking common sense. Prydaen appear to be a strange mix between a human and any of the various predatory felines. Call them a cat at your own risk. They came to this land fleeing the near extinction at the hands of a powerful Necromancer.
* [[Rakash]]: Fast but uncordinated, slow mentally but tough. While mostly indistinguishable from any random human, when the black moon Katamba is full, they take on the form of a wolf-human hybrid. Like the Prydaen, they fled a powerful Necromancer and attempt to rebuild their packs in the eastern lands.
* [[S'Kra Mur]]: Strong and fast, but a bit slow upstairs. Humanoids with lizardlike features, the S'Kra Mur have a strange culture that has strange concepts of honor and kinship.

A table giving more detail on attribute aptitudes can be found [[Attributes#Racial Bonuses|here]].

A character's race affects the character's [[attributes]] (number of [[Time Development Points]] needed to raise an attribute by one point) and mostly RP-elements (e.g. tail verbs for races with tails).

There are no "racial traits" (e.g. infravision) or "racial abilities" (e.g. faerie fire) as may be found in other games.

===[[Guilds]]===

If you were wondering why you didn't get to choose what class your character is during character creation, it's because DragonRealms treats character class a little differently. Instead of character classes, characters in DragonRealms join guilds. All characters start as Commoners. Then, you can choose to join one of the 11 guilds in Elanthia: [[Barbarian]], [[Bard]], [[Cleric]], [[Empath]], [[Moon Mage]], [[Necromancer]], [[Paladin]], [[Ranger]], [[Thief]], [[Trader]], and [[Warrior Mage]].

You can type {{com|DIR}} ''<guild>'' while in the city for directions to 9 of the guilds. However, the location of two of the guilds, Thieves and Necromancers, are considered puzzles.

Also, due to unique mechanics that apply only to necromancers, it is not recommended that a new player join the Necromancer guild.

A short description for each guild follows, but it should be kept in mind that these are general stereotypes and areas of strength for the guilds. With enough effort and time, any character of any race or guild can become great at anything.

* [[Barbarian]]: The guild of fighters. They excel at weapon learning and utilize the poorly understood power of Inner Fire to accomplish amazing feats, but give up the ability to use magic to do so.
* [[Bard]]: A strange mix of warrior, musician, and historian, Bards wield magic in their songs, but still maintain a strong skill in mundane martial attacks. With their focus on scholarly pursuits, Bards make excellent craftsmen.
* [[Cleric]]: Whether crusading to destroy the foul undead or tending to spirits of the fallen, Clerics represent all the gods of Elanthia, good and evil. For their devotion, the gods reward them with amazing magics.
* [[Empath]]: The Empath guild is one of healing. Through their powerful supernatural connections to others, they are able to draw injuries to themselves and then heal it with their magic. The side effect is that any harm done to living or once living creatures cause feedback that can cripple their abilities. While some Empaths like to ascribe this as a moral issue, the numerous lifeless constructs that have fallen to more warlike empaths seems to discount this.
* [[Moon Mage]]: They are masters of predicting the future from the stars and planets, as well as a wide mix of powerful spells. The Moon Mage guild is made up of numerous sub-sects, and has a history of producing some mages with an unhealthy interest in politics.
* [[Necromancer]]: This guild is intentionally designed as a hard mode for long-time players. Everything is more difficult, and the consequences for making a mistake are more severe. If you are reading this guide, you do not have experience necessary to play them.
* [[Paladin]]: Holy warriors, these masters of defense are held by the gods to a higher standard of honor than others, but are granted powers by the purity of their souls. Though they are primarily warriors of the sword and shield, their cause is bolstered by dabbling in holy magics unshared with clerics.
* [[Ranger]]: The classic woodland warrior, Rangers mix magic, stealth, and weapons to create a potent force. However, their abilities wane when too much time is spent in cities, so it is rare to see a Ranger in town for long.
* [[Thief]]: The pesky fellows who take your money and stab you in the back before you see them. While not as bad as the Necromancer guild, the Thief guild is more difficult, including puzzles just to find their guildhouse. Not recommended for people who need this guide.
* [[Trader]]: Masters of commerce and the power of money, Traders criss-cross the lands with their caravans delivering goods, or set up shops in the major city's plazas to market their wares to adventurers. Between their aptitude for crafting and ability to rent shops, Traders make, by far, the best merchants. ''Note: Traders have had a history of little development, however they are slated to receive access to their own magic system at some point in the near future.''
* [[Warrior Mage]]: Masters of the six elements, Warrior Mages are the classic fireball-throwing mages of fantasy. Luckily for them, no rules restrict them to robes or nightshirts, though they are less adept at wearing armor than the average adventurer. Their typical response is to simply kill everything before it gets near them.

The last, and very rarely chosen option is to remain a Commoner. Commoners will never gain any promotions, or any special abilities, as long as they remain a commoner. Some people choose this path for roleplaying reasons, or because they are preparing for a guild later, since Commoners learn everything moderately well. '''It is highly advised that a guild be chosen.'''

Once you reach your chosen guild using the {{tt|dir}} command, proceed to the area with the Guildmaster and type {{com|join}} twice. If at that point, the guildmaster informs you that you do not have the correct stats for the guild, he or she will offer to train you to the minimums.

It should be noted that once you join a guild, you cannot change it, with the exception of anyone joining the Barbarian's Guild. If you feel you chose poorly, the only choice is to find an inn and {{com|check}} {{tt|in}}, to reset your character.

===[[Attributes]]===
Each character has eight [[attributes]] or [[stats]]. They are: [[Strength]], [[Reflex]], [[Agility]], [[Charisma]], [[Discipline]], [[Wisdom]], [[Intelligence]], and [[Stamina]]. You can check your character's [[attributes]], among other information, by using the >'''INFO''' command.

[[Time Development Points]], known as TDPs, and a negligible amount of coins are used to increase attributes. The number of TDPs needed to increase each attribute increases as that attribute increases. It is not affected by the number of points in other attributes. It is affected by the character's [[Races|race]].

TDPs are granted each time a character circles, as well as gradually by training skills. At first, the number of TDPs received from circling will provide the majority of the TDPs a character has. However, at higher circles, the number of TDPs received from training skills will outpace the TDPs received from circling. This is especially true if the player elects to train more skills than the minimum required to circle.

===[[Skills]]===

In DragonRealms, the success of actions (e.g. attacking) is determined by a character's experience with the respective skill. Want to climb that mountain? That requires Athletics. Want to swing that broadsword? Heavy Edged. Every challenge will require a certain number of ranks in the appropriate skill, and in order to train a given skill, you must attempt an appropriate challenge to your current skill ranks. If you're a champion of skinning the rarest beasts in the land, skinning a ships rat won't provide a challenge, and as such, won't teach you further skinning ranks.

All skills in the game are broken into five categories: [[Armor Skillset|Armor]], [[Lore Skillset|Lore]], [[:Category:Supernatural Skillset|Magic]], [[Survival Skillset|Survival]], and [[:Category:Weapon Skillset|Weapons]]. Skills that are trained in combat require an appropriate challenge, which means finding a creature that is difficult enough to provide a challenge.

===[[Experience]]===

Unlike some level-based MMORPGs and MUDs, DragonRealms has a skill-based experience system. Rather than getting generic experience points every time you complete a quest or kill a creature, DragonRealms awards characters with field experience in a specific [[skill]] any time your character does something that uses that skill. If you want your character to be better at casting a certain type of spell, you need to cast that type of spell. Want to be a better fighter? Pick up a sword and go hit things with it. If being sneaky or crafting is something you might be interested in, there is a skill for that as well. Using any skill will award field experience, which will be converted to ranks over time. Think of field experience like studying for a test, where you need some time afterwards for everything to really sink in.

The way skills gain in ranks in DragonRealms may also be somewhat confusing at first. Field experience is tracked by looking at your mindstate, which increases from Clear (0/34) to Mind Lock (34/34). Over time, Field Experience will drain, and in doing so, will convert into actual ranks in the skill. Skills are broadly separated into Armor, Weapons, Magic, Survival, and Lore, and each guild has a bonus in learning one group of skills, but learns other skills slower. If you look at the article for each [[guild]], each guild has one primary skill group, two secondary skill groups, and two tertiary skill groups. Skills in a character's primary skill group are easiest to train, secondary skill groups the next, and tertiary take the longest to train.

Typing >'''EXPERIENCE''' will display skills with field experience. To see your total experience in all ranks, type >'''EXPERIENCE ALL'''. To check your experience in a given skillset, type >'''EXPERIENCE WEAPON''', >'''EXPERIENCE LORE''', >'''EXPERIENCE MAGIC''', >'''EXPERIENCE ARMOR''', or >'''EXPERIENCE SURVIVAL'''. Adding '''ALL''' will also include skills without any field experience. You may also check an individual skills progress by typing >'''EXPERIENCE LOCKSMITHING''', for example, to check Locksmithing.

:Subscribed players receive [[Experience#Experience_drain_at_login|experience drain]] when they log in. For 100% experience drain it takes 6 hours offline, or 8 hours offline if a warning has been received in the last 180 days.
:[[Free to play]] players '''do not''' receive experience drain at log in, unless they [[https://store.play.net/store/purchase/dr| get a pass from the SIMUCOIN store]].
:Some players choose to [[Idle experience drain|drain experience while idle online]] regardless of their account type or offline drain options.

===[[Circle|Character Advancement]]===

In DragonRealms, a character's level is called their 'circle'. If someone says they are 20th circle, they have reached the minimum requirements to advance with the guild leader 19 times, as all characters start at 1st circle. 'Circling' is also used as a verb to describe the act of leveling up. Each guild requires a certain number of ranks in various skills to circle. The skills required are often flexible. For example, the requirements are often X ranks in each of the highest Y skills in a skill group. The exact skill (e.g. small edge or large edge) can be freely chosen by the player, although some skills cannot be used. There are also sometimes requirements for specific skills. To circle, a player must fulfill all the requirements. It is possible for a character's skills to be significantly higher than the minimum required for their circle, either by not meeting the minimum skill requirement to circle in a different skill or by choosing not to circle, as it is done manually. To circle, find your guild leader and {{tt|ASK <LEADER> ABOUT CIRCLE}}.

===[[Inventory (concept)|Inventory]]===

For you to carry anything other than coins, they must be carried in your hands, worn on the body, or placed in a container. Naturally, you may carry only two items at a time. In addition, how many items you may wear depends on where the item is worn.


Each item you have, including coins, has a weight. Items that are worn on the body have their weight reduced, while items that are in containers, such as a [[:Item:Sturdy backpack|sturdy backpack]], will count towards your [[encumbrance]]. Being encumbered has various penalties to your character, perhaps the most important of which is a penalty to [[evasion]]. You may increase the amount of weight you can carry without becoming encumbered by increasing [[strength]] and/or [[stamina]].

===[[Damage|Health]]===

DragonRealms doesn't employ the "hit point" system, per se, though [[vitality]] and [[spirit]] are similar. Instead, each body part (head, each eye, neck, chest, abdomen, back, each arm, each hand, each leg, and the nervous system) takes [[damage]], which can be either external or internal, and fresh or scars. Injuries a player receives are almost always fresh, which become scars after they are healed. The scars then, in turn, need to be healed. As you are injured more in an area, the damage becomes more severe. For example, they may start as minor abrasions and end up as a stump if you are not careful. When a critical body part (head, neck, chest, abdomen, or back) is destroyed, the character will die. Players may also die if their vitality reaches zero, or if their spirit health reaches zero. Spirit health is not as commonly used when compared to vitality. When the severity of fresh injuries reach a certain threshold, they begin to bleed. External wounds may be >'''TEND'''ed, utilizing the [[First Aid]] skill to stop the bleeding, but there is no similar option for internal wounds.

Vitality and spirit health will regenerate naturally. Wounds and scars need to be healed by [[Empath|empaths]], some [[Hospitals|NPC Empaths]] (such as [[Mirinn]]), [[healing herbs]], and [[Remedies Products|remedies products]].

In addition, there are also poisons, diseases, and parasites that can affect the character's health.

===[[Currency|Money]]===

Money comes in the form of coins, with denominations of copper, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum, each worth 10 of the previous denomination. In addition, there are three currencies: Kronars, Lirums, and Dokoras. They may be exchanged for each other at a bank for a small fee. Dokoras are worth the most, followed by Lirums, and Kronars the least. Shops in different areas will demand payment in their "home" currency. When discussing price for items between players, it is usually discussed using Kronars.

Coins do have physical properties but are not quite the same as normal items. See [[currency]] for details.

===[[Death]] and [[Favors]]===

At some point, [[death]] comes to everyone in Elanthia. Death isn't permanent, but in DragonRealms it does works differently than in many other MMORPGs and MUDs. Your character can die from a loss of [[vitality]], a loss of [[spirit]] health, or having a critical body part sufficiently [[Damage|damaged]] or removed. Any field experience not yet converted to ranks is lost, and your character will drop anything you were holding in your hands. Once you die, your options for communicating with other players are limited. You will be able to speak to other players that come by, and other players can DRAG you, but you are unable to move on your own.

Your character can come back to life a few different ways. The two most common are for a cleric to [[Resurrection|resurrect]] you, or for your character to >'''DEPART'''. In order for a [[cleric]] to resurrect you, an [[empath]] will first need to heal any major wounds that your character might posses. Being resurrected by a cleric is the best way to come back from the dead, but isn't always available. The other way for your character to come back to life is to use the >'''DEPART''' command. New characters have a free depart option that last until second circle (level), or it has been used 5 times. These initial 5 departs allow you to return to life at the nearest resurrection location with all your items and coins still in your possession.

For characters who have expended their free departs, or advanced past first circle, the >'''DEPART''' command will, by default, cause all of the coins your character was carrying to be lost, and all of your items to go into a grave in the room where you died. Any items you were carrying may also have been dropped at your characters feet, and not in the grave. Items in a grave have some small measure of protection, but it is possible for another player to take items from the grave and not return them. Some protections are in place to keep the would-be thief from logging out with your hard-won items or running to a 'safe' room, but these protections don't last forever. You can claim the items from your grave with the command '''Dig Grave'''

To minimize the penalties to the >'''DEPART''' command, players should have multiple [[favors]] at all times. To the character, a favor represents your character making some sort of sacrifice to the [[Immortals]], the gods of Elanthia. In exchange for that sacrifice, the gods will let your character return from the dead. What this means to us, the players, is that your character will have to complete a puzzle to get a favor orb, fill the orb with field experience, and place the orb on an altar devoted to one of the gods. Orbs are filled using the >'''RUB''' or >'''HUG''' command, with rub transferring a little field experience, and hug filling the orb completely.

The amount of field experience needed to fill each favor orb increases with increasing circle and increasing number of favors. As a rule of thumb, you should try to have 10 or more favors at any time. You can see the number of favors when you use the >'''INFO''' or >'''EXP''' command.

==Helpful Terminology==

In any game, you'll come across terms that are used by long-time players that can sometimes be confusing to new players. Some of the more common terms will be listed here to help you better understand what other players are talking about.

'''Verb''' - Typically when players refer to verbs, they are referring to an item that you can use a command on, though for some people verb holds the same meaning as command does. As an example, if someone says they have a 'verbed cloak', this might mean they have a cloak, but when you {{tt|SHAKE MY CLOAK}} while the cloak is worn on your character, you might see your character shaking dust out of the hem. Verbs, whether on items or not, give you additional ways to express things that your character is doing.

'''Gweth''' - Short for gwethdesuan. Gwethdesuans are items that can be used for communication at a distance via a thought network. If you are wearing one, you can {{tt|THINK}} ''<message>'' to broadcast a message to anyone else with the same type of gwethdesuan within range. So for example, to send out "Hello world!" on the thought network, you would input {{tt|THINK Hello world!}} into your text-entry field and press your ENTER key.

'''Making Money''' - The primary means most players earn money in DragonRealms is by hunting the various NPC critters that inhabit the lands. Critters will drop coins, small gems, junk gear, and lockboxes. You may also {{tt|SKIN}} some creatures for valuable pelts, skins, hides, horns, paws, teeth, etc. Generally speaking, gems can be sold in gemshops, while skins/pelts/etc may be sold at tanneries. Lockboxes must be opened by a locksmith with sufficient LOCKSMITHING, and will often contain gems and coins. Not surprisingly, more difficult creatures tend to have more valuable loot.

'''Equipment''' - Starting towns with have places to purchase weapons and armor, and this store bought gear will be sufficient to get you started adventuring. APPRAISE the gear you have to determine what skills it will train, for example, a Scimitar trains the Small Edge skill, while a Broadsword trains the Heavy Edge skill. There are no irreversibly wrong decisions to be made when starting to train your character, though it's a good idea to speak with some people for advice on what skills to focus on, and therefor what gear you should seek out. Sooner or later, you'll want to upgrade to player crafted gear, which is superior to store bought, and can range in price dramatically depending on the materials. Many players will donate player crafted gear to new players, so ask around.

As a very general rule of thumb that is by no means a hard and fast rule, Weapon or Armor Tertiary guilds will be better served using lighter and faster weapons, and less hindering and less protecting armors, though there are frequent exceptions to this rule. For example, for a Moon Mage, a good starting set of weapons would be a Scimitar (Small Edge), a Mace (Small Blunt), a Throwing Club (Light Thrown) and a Shortbow (Bows), while a good set of armor may be all cloth or leather (Light Armor), and rotating Chain Greaves (chain). Comparitively, a Paladin will probably want to train a larger number of armors, focusing on heavier pieces, and use heavier weapons. That said, there are advantages and disadvantages to each weapon and armor type, so do some research and figure out how you want to craft your character.

==General Walkthrough after Character Creation==

===Gear===
While the character creation process will provide you with basic armor and a weapon, there a few other things you will need to begin adventuring (mostly) safely. To begin with, spend some time wandering around your starting town, trying to find the [[Grizzled_old_war_veteran|grizzled old war Veteran]] (Crossing) or [[Sir_Robyn|Sir Robyn]] (Riverhaven). Visit their pages to see the syntax for exchanging your starting gear with those NPCs for a weapon and armor that fit your play style and character concept. In DragonRealms you can make just about any armor/weapon combination work. If you are planning on joining a heavy stealth guild (Necromancer, Ranger, Thief) or planning on seriously training stealth for any other character, I would recommend light armor. Paladins, plate armor, and all others chain armor. Feel free to speak to other members of your guild for more detailed advice. When it comes to weapons, a scimitar or broadsword will suit anyone well, through let your character concept be your guide here.

Now that you've wandered around and probably gotten thoroughly lost, it's time to learn a great command for getting around town, the [[Dir_command|DIRECTION]] command (abbreviated DIR). This will allow you to easily navigate to where you need to go.

Next order of business; obtain a shield. To accomplish this you can use DIRection ARMOR and follow the cues. Once you make it to the shop, you can SHOP to see which surfaces have items for sale and SHOP [SURFACE] to see what is for sale on each surface. You can also use the [[Wealth_command|WEALTH]] command to see how much money you have. In Crossing, you can get a {{ilink|s|metal target shield}} from [[Tembeg%27s_Armory|Tembeg's Armory]]. Some shops use different syntax to make purchases. If SHOP isn't working, try ORDER or READ CATALOG or READ MENU. A shop's elanthipedia page may also list the specific syntax it uses.

A shield is your first priority, and then if you have extra money you will want to purchase the remaining pieces of armor for your head, eyes, neck, chest, abdomen, back, and legs. The shop you purchased a shield from will have these items. (Note: if you purchase the "helm," it will likely not cover the eyes. You will need to add a mask, or just purchase a balaclava or cowl instead for full coverage.)

Now that your armor is taken care of, ''if you are a magic user'' you should also purchase a piece of cambrinth. [[Cambrinth]] is a magical metal that stores mana, and the primary means of training the Arcana skill. DIRection ARTIFICER will either take you to [[Herilo%27s_Artifacts|Herilo's Artifacts]] (Crossing) shop or [[Zanthron%27s_Artificer_Shop|Zanthron's Artificer Shop]] (Riverhaven). Once in Herilo's, you can use the SHOP command to see what is available. Any of the 'scrap' type cambrinth pieces in the metal bucket will do. If you started in Riverhaven, Zanthron's has no good options for new players, so consider a trip to Crossing in the not too distant future. Exploration is fun!

There are also a number of [[Donation racks|donation racks]] scattered around town. Other players have donated various items here that are free for anyone who needs them.

===Preparation===
We'll begin with the shield, and if you were able to obtain a small-sized target shield, we will go over how to wear it on your arm. If you were unable to obtain a target shield and are using an oval shield, skip to the next paragraph because you have to hold an oval shield for it to work. With a target shield, hold your shield in your hand and ADJUST SHIELD. This will switch the shield between two methods of wearing it: over your shoulder, or attached to your forearm. The message you will be looking for is this: '''''You adjust the straps of your shield, tightening them so that it will fit securely upon your left arm.''''' After you have adjusted it properly, WEAR SHIELD.

Now that you have a shield, held or worn, let's cover the [[Stance_command|STANCE]] command to make sure you're using the shield. STANCE SHIELD will allow you to use your Shield (100%) and Evasion (80%) skills. This is the safest stance for young adventurers, as your new armor will greatly hinder evasion until you have more ranks in its use. Once you enter combat and have a weapon in your right hand, you can STANCE PARRY to train the Parry skill. However, it is always best and safest to return to STANCE SHIELD as your default. Once you have an arm-worn small shield and are in shield stance, you can be at full defensive power all the time no matter what you are doing. Again, if you have an oval (or any medium sized) shield, you must be holding it in your left hand to use it. Eventually Paladins will be able to arm-wear a large-sized shield in this manner, while Barbarians, Rangers, and Traders will be able to arm-wear medium shields. Speak with other members of your guild to learn the pros and cons of these larger shields, but know that an arm-worn small shield is still the choice of most players and will serve any young adventurer well.

===Joining a Guild===
Now that you are fully equipped and ready to adventure, it is time to join the guild of your choice! Use the trusty DIRection command to get to the guild of your choosing, and find the Guildleader. Once there, you can type JOIN and listen to what they have to say.

===Your First Coins===
If you decided to start in Crossing, there is a peddler named Mags that you may want to visit. [[Mags]] recognizes characters new to crossing, and will give them coins in exchange for bringing her branches. The closest place to find branches is outside the Northeast Gate, so I would suggest heading there. First, though, I would suggest going by [[Berolt's Dry Goods]] (DIR general store) and replacing your starting pack with a slightly larger backpack. Note that you can only wear one thing on your back at a time.

New bag in hand (on your back), it's time to head to the Northeast gate, which you can find using DIR Northeast gate. Once you are outside the gate (the area description will start with "Northeast Wilds"), you can start foraging for branches with the FORAGE command by typing FORAGE BRANCH. Put as many branches in your backpack as you can carry, and then it's time to go back to Mags. Mags can be found outside the Reflex training academy, which you can find with DIR REFLEX. Mags is waiting right outside, so either stop when the directions prompt you to GO REFLEX, or go in and then step back out. Mags will accept branches individually, or you can remove your backpack and GIVE BACKPACK TO MAGS. She will take out all the branches and give you between 1 and 2 bronze per branch. New characters can earn around 2 gold kronars in total by giving branches to Mags before she tells you that you need to move on in your adventuring career.

In Riverhaven, there is also a peddler named Maisie that will exchange coins for branches.

==Walkthrough of Your Magic Skills==
While [[Magic]] in DragonRealms is used to some extent by every guild, Thieves and Barbarians train it in their own way. This section covers the prepare/cast mechanics that magic-using guilds utilize to train magic. Each spell has a 'Minimum Prep' or minimum amount of mana that it can be cast at. Anything above that is at the mage's discretion. The more mana funneled into a spell, the more difficult it is to cast, and that amount is determined by their skill in their primary magic skill (e.g., Lunar Magic for Moon Mages, Elemental Magic for Warrior Mages) and their skill in the type of spell being cast. For a more in-depth explanation of magic in DragonRealms, you can read the lore behind [[Magical_theory|Magical Theory]].

To see your list of spells, see the {{com|spells}} command. Magic using characters have access to [[Apprentice spells]] from 1st to 10th circle as an aid to learning magic skills. Upon advancement to 11th circle you lose these spells.

You can use the {{com|discern}} {{tt|<spellname>}} command to see an estimate on how much mana you can {{tt|prepare}} a spell at based on your current skill.

===[[Attunement_skill|Attunement]]===
Attunement is your ability to [[Power_Perceive_skill|detect]] and [[Harness_Ability_skill|harness]] mana for your use. This is trained by using one of the following commands: PERCEIVE, CONCENTRATE, or POWER. Each time you do this in a room, there is a 60 second timer until you can learn from it again. To train this skill effectively you want to check POWER, then move to a different room, check the POWER, move again, POWER again, and so on. Alternately you can stay in the same room and check the POWER once per minute. To start with the act of casting a spell or charging [[Cambrinth]] will provide a little [[Attunement]] experience but this will quickly become insignificant. You can also train [[Attunement]] by preparing a spell and then HARNESSING so mana to increase its power before you cast it but this runs the risk of causing [[Damage|Nerve Damage]], which can impair your ability to cast spells.

===[[Arcana]]===
Arcana is the skill of magical item use, mostly trained through [[Runestones]] and [[Cambrinth]]. To train, you will be using the cambrinth item you purchased in the walkthrough. If you are fortunate enough to acquire a [[Runestone]], which can often be found in the [[Donation racks|donation bin]] of the [[Crossing]] cleric guild, you can train by FOCUSing on it. If you find a [[Runestone]] that contains an Elemental, Life or Lunar spell you will also learn [[Sorcery]] until around 60-80 ranks.

===[[Primary_Magic|'Primary' Magic]]===
Arcane, Elemental, Holy, Life and Lunar Magic are considered your guild's Primary Magic, or 'Ur Magic' skill, and will train passively while casting any spells from your Guild's spell book.

====[[Augmentation]], [[Utility_skill|Utility]], [[Warding_skill|Warding]]====
All of these skills are trained in the same way. For the sake of this Newbie Guide, all spells should follow the same pattern: (with exceptions to be discussed later)
#{{com|Prepare}} ''<spell>''
#Wait until you see: '''''You feel fully prepared to cast your spell.'''''
#Add Mana
##via {{com|Harness}} ''<amount>''
##via [[Cambrinth]]
###{{tt|charge}} ''<item>'' ''<amount>''
###{{tt|invoke}} ''<item>''
#{{com|Cast}}
The ''<item>'' in the invoke example is the scrap/sliver/shaving you will buy from the Artificer (if following the Walkthrough). As you're just starting out, the ''<amount>'' will only be 1 or 2 as you won't yet have the skill to put much extra mana in your spells. You can split it up however you like, in increments as small as 1. You can {{tt|HARNESS 1}} '''and''' {{Tt|CHARGE 1}}/{{tt|INVOKE}} with cambrinth for a total of 2 extra mana. Eventually you will also be able to cast before the spell is fully prepared, though at low skill levels you risk backfiring and damaging your nerves.

====[[Debilitation]]====
Trained in the same way as above, though it also requires you be casting on an enemy in the proper skill range. Debilitation spells and skills follow a slightly different paradigm than Targeted spells. Skill in Debilitation determines if the spell will connect, and then a [[Contested Abilities|stat contest]] is performed. If the contest is successful, the spell or ability will affect the target. If the contest fails, the spell or ability will be resisted.

Success is not binary; a marginal success will result in a slight effect, while a catastrophic failure will result in a large effect.

====[[Targeted Magic]]====
Targeted Magic spells are cast the same as any others but with one extra step: TARGETing the spell at a critter.
#{{com|Target}} ''<spell abbreviation>'' (this will default to the enemy you are currently facing)
#Wait until you see: '''''Your formation of a targeting pattern around a ''<target>'' has completed.'''''
#Proceed as above with adding mana and {{tt|CAST}}ing.

As you obtain more complicated spells, especially ones that effect an entire area, pay close attention to the different options of the [[Target_command|TARGET command]]

===Barbarian and Thief 'Magic'===
Placed here because the skills used are the same. I'm sure Rhadyn will have choice words on whether or not Barbarians actually use magic. Both are trained completely differently than traditional magic; see the [[Barbarian_Newbie_Help_Guide|Barbarian Newbie Guide]] or [[Thief_Newbie_Help_Guide|Thief Newbie Guide]] for more detail.

==Walkthrough of your first Combat==
===Defenses===
The first thing to consider before combat is how you're defending yourself. There are three ways to do this:
* Evasion is simply getting out of the way. This is the most basic defense because it can be done in any circumstances.
* Parry is blocking attacks with your weapon. This requires having a weapon in your right hand and is effective with larger weapons.
* Shield is blocking with your shield. This requires a shield either in your left hand or on your arm (use {{com|adjust}} to change where the shield is worn).

The {{com|stance}} command controls how you defend yourself. You have 180 points to spend between the three defenses and most people use a 100/80 defense stance, with 100 points in one defense and 80 in another. The most common is 100 evasion, 80 in either shield or parry, depending on which you want to learn at the moment.

===Finding a Target===
There are two common starting creatures, ship rats and sleezy louts. Ship rats are in Barana's Shipyard, and can be found via {{tt|dir ship}}. Sleezy louts are outside the Eastern Gate and can be found via {{tt|dir east}}.

Once you get to the hunting area, it may take a bit of time before a target shows up, so it may be a good idea to slowly wander around, looking for already spawned targets. Keep in mind, that according to common hunting etiquette, creatures that are in an occupied room are owned by the person in there, so you will need to search for an empty room.

===Attacking===
Once you've found a target, you'll want to {{com|advance}} on them, to get close enough to attack. There are three ranges: missile range where only bows and thrown weapons can reach, pole range where only very long weapons such as polearms can reach, and melee range where any weapon can reach.

Once you've gotten to melee range on your target, you'll want to begin with a basic series of attacks. Each weapon has a basic type of attack that's neither great nor terrible and is good for basic combat. In addition, they also have a power attack that is good to use when you're at an advantage, such as when you have stunned your opponent.

{| border="1"
! Type !! Basic Move !! Power Move
|-
| Slicing || {{com|slice}} || {{Com|chop}}
|-
| Blunt || {{com|swing}} || {{com|bash}}
|-
| Piercing || {{com|thrust}} || {{com|lunge}}
|}

It is important to keep an eye on your [[fatigue]] in combat, as attacking too quickly can drain it to the point where you fall over.

===So You've Killed Your Target===
Once you've killed your target, there's two possible things you can do. The first is to {{com|skin}} it, which may produce a valuable skin you can sell later. Second, you should {{com|loot}} it, which will search it for any treasure. You'll want to stow both of these away.

==Useful Tips==
The command '''Dir Help''' will bring up a list of commands relating to moving around town. Typing in '''Dir''' and a location will give you screen by screen instructions on how to get to that location in town. You can also enter in '''Dir (location name) 15''' and the system will give you a sequential list of the next 15 directions to move in to reach that location. Most Front-Ends will also make those directions a series of clickable links for ease of use.

You will start the game with an item called a [[Item:Divine_charm|Divine Charm]]. This item has several handy uses for a new player including the ability to heal you, teleport you back to your guild, and help you carry heavier loads. As you gain skills and circles this item's value will diminish, so use it whilst you can! Use the command '''Turn Divine Charm''' to select an ability and '''Invoke Divine Charm''' to use the current selection.

Visit the tanner early on and '''Ask (tanner name) for rope'''. He will provide you with an item called a bundling rope free of charge. This handy piece of equipment will allow you to easily manage the skins you acquire whilst hunting. After defeating a creature you can '''Arrange (dead critter name)''' to prepare a skin for better quality. This may be done up to five times in succession to acquire the highest chance for improved quality. After arranging the skin, then type '''Skin (dead critter name)''' whilst holding a bladed item and you will acquire a skin from it. Next, hold the skin in one hand and the bundling rope in the other, and type '''Bundle (name of skin)''' and it will turn them into a lumpy bundle. Finally, type '''Wear Bundle''' to sling it over your shoulder. Once this has been done, every time you skin a creature you will automatically add it to the bundle, saving an immense amount of time and typing. Typing '''Appraise Bundle''' when not in combat will provide a healthy boost to your appraisal skill, and selling the bundle (after using the '''Remove Bundle''' command) will allow you to get the money for it in one fell swoop; the tanner will even return the rope to you for reuse. Further commands for your bundles can be found at [[Item:Lumpy bundle]] and details on skinning are found at [[Skinning skill]]

Similar to the bundling rope, a lockpick ring is a wearable item that can store up to 25 lockpicks of a single type. Once lockpicks are added to the lockpick ring and the ring is worn, you will automatically use those lockpicks whenever using the pick command without needing to hold them in hand. Specific details on the item can be found at the [[Lockpick rings]] page.

The '''Store''' and '''Stow''' commands allow you to more easily organize your items. Read up on the specifics here: [[Store command]] or type '''Store Help''' in-game.

'''First Aid''' is an invaluable skill, and you can't really learn it without getting hurt. It is a perfectly acceptable practice to ask any empath to "leave a bleeder" behind when healing you, so that you can continue to train the skill without serious danger to yourself. Be forewarned that eventually wounds will worsen and your skill likely won't be able to keep up with them, especially if you have internal bleeding. If you notice your health is dipping lower than it is regenerating even when tended, it is time to get to a healer quickly. In the crossing many healers tend to be found just outside the Empath's Guild and will heal you for free if you simply ask politely for healing. Just don't lie down there, because it's a busy street and NPCs can and will literally trample you to death. Learn more about the [[First Aid skill]] here.

'''Forage''' is a commonly used command that can produce results when used on its own, but the chances of finding a particular item are immensely improved by putting that item name after the forage command. For example '''Forage Stick''' will produce a stick for you nearly every time you search where simply foraging might produce one every 1 in 20 tries. Read more about foraging here: [[Foraging]]. Similar to foraging is the [[Collect command]], which produces items that are left in rooms rather than collected in inventory. The '''collect''' command is one of the best ways for an early player to train their [[Outdoorsmanship skill]] and [[Perception skill]]; '''collect rock''' when outdoors or '''collect wood splinter''' when indoors to raise those skills into at least the 80s. Be careful when using those commands to not pluralize them with "rocks" or "splinters" because then they will not work! More items to collect for higher skill ranks can be found as well. Just don't forget to '''Kick pile''' after collecting an item; it is the polite thing to do.

'''Athletics''' can be learned easily by heading to Arthe Dale, the first town outside of The Crossing, a short and safe distance out of the northeast gate. The Arthe Dale Swimming Hole is an outstanding place to learn your [[Athletics skill]]. Just Dive Hole outside the swimming hole and then head West, South, East, North over and over to raise the skill. As your athletics skill increases, the roundtime will decrease between each room.

If you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, you may end up in the stocks. '''Plead''' is a command that can sometimes get you out of the stocks more quickly. In this instance your items should be returned to you by the guard after you are freed. If you receive a fine, you will need to pay it off before you can get your items back. Use the Dir Help command to guide you to the debtor's office in town. Head to the Guard House after paying off the debt and use the command "Get (your name) Sack" to obtain your items.

==How to Search Elanthipedia==

===Basic and Advanced Search===

Elanthipedia has a lot of useful content, but finding what you want is not always intuitive. Here are some tricks.

'''[https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=&fulltext=Search&profile=all&redirs=0 Basic Search]''': to perform a basic search, click the link, or scroll to the upper-right corner of the screen, and type your search term in the box. Click "Search."

'''[https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=&fulltext=Search&profile=advanced&redirs=0 Advanced Search]''': Sometimes, the basic search gives you too many results, and you want to narrow your search. You can reach the advanced search option by clicking the link by performing a basic search and then clicking the "''Advanced''" link.
:Under ''Search in namespaces'', you can choose which types of pages to include in your search. The most useful options are:
*'''(Main)''' any wiki page that is not in a special category (most articles and shops)
*'''Category''': any wiki page whose title begins with ''Category:''. This includes the main guild, race, and spell pages, for example, which link to more detailed information.
*'''Armor''': armor item pages (with looks, stats, shop locations, etc.)
*'''Shield''': shield item pages (with looks, stats, shop locations, etc.)
*'''Weapon''': weapon item pages (with looks, stats, shop locations, etc.)
*'''Item''': all other item pages (with looks, stats, shop locations, etc.)
*'''Post''': archived posts from the official Play.net forum
*'''Title''': titles (the kind your character wears around his name)
*Checking the "List redirects" option will include pages that just redirect you to another page.

===Special Queries===

In addition to the normal search options, Elanthipedia has some special query pages that let you search for particular content. To use them, simply select the options you want and click "run query" at the bottom.

*'''[[Special:RunQuery/ShopQuery|ShopQuery]]''': in the type field, include any of the merchandise types listed [[:Category:Shops_by_Type|here]]
*'''[[Special:RunQuery/WeaponQuery|WeaponQuery]]'''
*'''[[Special:RunQuery/ArmorQuery|ArmorQuery]]'''
*'''[[Special:RunQuery/ShieldQuery|ShieldQuery]]'''
*'''[[Special:RunQuery/ItemQuery|ItemQuery]]''': all other items
When using the four item query pages, "rare" means items that aren't normally available, such as quest prizes, festival merchandise, etc.

[[Special:RunQuery/BestiaryQuery|BestiaryQuery]]: Here you can search for huntable creatures by location, difficulty, types of loot dropped, etc.

[[Special:RunQuery/Post_Query|PostQuery]]: Search for archived posts from the official Play.net forum (separate topics with a comma)

==Commonly Asked Questions==
'''Q: Help! I'm confused and this guide isn't helping!'''
:A: That's not a question! Regardless, you can use the {{Com|advice}} or {{com|help}} commands, or speak to a [[Mentor]] (use {{com|dir}} {{tt|mentor}} to find one) for help. If none of those work, see if you can get another player to help, such as one of your guildmates. If all else fails, posting your problems on the forums can result in a wealth of helpful information. You are also encouraged to join the unofficial DragonRealms [[Discord]] text/voice chat service.

'''Q: Where is everyone?'''
:A: DragonRealms is a huge game, with tens of thousands of areas. This results in people being spread over a large area fairly thinly. Generally most areas will have a gathering spot, where people talk and teach. Because these spots are known to change, it would be impractical for this guide to try to list them, though [[Popular Gathering Places|this article]] attempts to.

'''Q: I see people around but none of them will respond to me. What's going on?'''
:A: Many people will run automated scripts to train skills that require repetive actions. The truth is that while it is against the rules to run them while not paying attention or away from the keyboard, it still happens to some degree. Some people skirt the edge by having the game window open but another window on top.
: However, do not assume that since someone will not talk to you that they are not there. Some people either for roleplay or other reasons will just simply ignore you.
: Regardless, do not let it discourage you, there are plenty of people out there to interact with once you know how to find them. Eventually you will be able to afford [[gwethdesuan]]s, magical devices that give you access to regional in character chat channels.

'''Q: Someone just killed me, and I didn't do anything. What do I do?'''
:A: There's two answers to this question. Either you got involved in something that gave someone "consent" on you, or you have met one of the infrequent but irritating people who enjoy killing for little or no reason.
: In the first case, there is not much you can do. There is a large set of rules for when someone can and cannot attack you. If you got in someone's face, yelled at them, insulted them, slapped then, or made a hostile move toward them, they are within their rights to kill you. {{com|News}} 5 24 and 5 25 goes into some detail about what's consent or not. Keep in mind, that certain actions you take can give everyone consent on you for a while, primarily stealing from another player. See the [[#Profile|Profile section]] for more detail.
: In the second case, you will have to decide whether it's worth your time and effort to contact a GM (via the {{com|assist}} command) and file a complaint. Some people refuse to assist even if someone broke the rules, and others have no issues. It is largely a personal choice, however it is a good idea to find somewhere private to do it if you do choose to complain.

'''Q: I'm stuck, or something broke, and no one is around to help!'''
:A: If you suspect you've encountered a bug, or that something is broken, your best bet is to use the {{com|assist}} command to ask for help from staff. Keep in mind, there is not always a staff member around, and even when there is there may be a wait.
: If something breaks drastically, like you end up in a room with no description, or your spell is creating gold coins out of nothing, use the {{com|report}} command. This is the 911 call for GM help, so use it sparingly. Generally if you're wondering if you should use it, {{tt|assist}} is the better route.

==Finding More Help==
Finding your community and additional IC (in character) and OOC (out of character) help is much more easier now. You can join the DR [[Discord]] at any time.

|c=m
|p=When you first made your character, you may or may not have had a clear idea of how she would look, what her interests were, what guild she would join or even what her day-to-day mood was. On the other hand, maybe you had a good idea! As with most aspects of our world, characters grow and evolve over time based on their experiences in the world. Here's a list of tools that you may or may not be familiar with to help your character adapt.

'''{{com|PROFILE}}''':
PROFILE is a newer addition to our tools, but it offers an extensive list of options for telling others about your character (and you the player!) at a glance. It also allows you to get an idea about those you interact with. You can set your roleplay and PvP stances, where you generally reside, a quote and more. To view another player's info (if they set it), use PROFILE {NAME}.

For StormFront users, simply use PROFILE /EDIT for a window to set your settings. If you use Wizard or another client, check out the PROFILE verb for further syntax.

'''{{com|SET}}''':
The SET verb offers a number of game-play options, but there's one gem in there to help with your roleplaying. SET PROFESSION will enable others to see what guild your character is when they LOOK at you. Alternatively, you can use SET !PROFESSION to hide this.

'''{{com|AVOID}}''':
The AVOID verb allows you to avoid certain types of interactions. You can block others from HOLDing your hand to pull you into a group or block them from JOINing you. You can also block whispers, dragging, teaching and dancing.

'''{{com|DEMEANOR}}''':
Does your character have a deep hatred of Gnomes? How about a passion for the lore the Bards and Moon Mages share? Maybe she's just ambivalent towards everyone and everything? To set this, check out the DEMEANOR verb. Setting your demeanor to cold or reserved can limit some unwanted verb interactions from other groups of players -- HUG, SLAP, etc. However, this can also negatively affect some helpful verbs as well -- an Empath's TOUCH or TEND for example. Setting your demeanor to friendly or warm can lead to more elaborate and friendly verb responses.

Note that when setting a demeanor towards other guilds, it will only affect those who display their profession via SET (see above).

'''{{com|BEFRIEND}}''':
The BEFRIEND verb is a variant of DEMEANOR that focuses more on individual players instead of entire groups of players. If you hate all Necromancers except Necrobob, then use DEMEANOR to set your reaction to Necromancers as COLD but use BEFRIEND to be neutral-to-warm towards Necrobob. You can also use this as a friends list to see which of your friends are currently online via BEFRIEND LIST.

'''[[Titles|TITLE]]''':
Probably more than any other, this is one you'll revisit frequently throughout your character's growth. Titles are awarded in many ways -- your level, where your home is, what guild you belong to and even how many warrants you have just to name a few. Using the TITLE verb, you can find that perfect match to show the world who your character is at any given time.

'''HAIR TWEAKS''':
Tired of that same old long and straight hair? You can make adjustments to how your hair is kept via {{com|ARRANGE|ARRANGE HAIR}}.

'''{{com|SMELL}}''':
Did you know you could set a scent for your character that others detect when they HUG or SMELL you? There are categorized lists of smells to choose from, and sometimes more are added. Check out SMELL HELP for more details on this customization.

'''{{com|PREPARE}}''':
Alright Barbarians, Thieves and Necromancers -- pinch your nose and look away; this one is for the magic folks. PREPARE /HELP allows you to change some options in how you prepare your spells. You can attempt to hide your spell preparations from those less experienced as well as choosing an alternate message for preparing your spell (if you have alternates).

'''{{com|MOVE}}''':
The MOVE verb allows you to set how you get from place to place in the realms. Do you run through the forests chasing your prey? If you were injured while slaying a mighty goblin prince, maybe you still carry a limp as you move about. Whatever your background, MOVE should help you pick the best way of getting to and fro.

'''{{com|SAY}}''':
How you speak in game can have a huge impact on how your character is perceived. Are you the guy who always talks loudly, or maybe you're always teasing? The SAY verb has a wide variety of emotes to help you express what you need to, and it even allows you to set a default. Check out the SAY verb for the details!

----

Some of these are old tools that may have been forgotten while others are more recent developments that you may not have heard of. Armed with these basics, you can bring new levels of customization to your character's roleplaying that you may not have previously been aware of, and we of course are always looking at new ways to add new tools!
