<br />
==First Steps==<br />
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''<br />
<br />
[[Image:equip900.gif|frame|An animation showing how to equip.]] You've spawned in Tulimshar for the first time! Congratulations and welcome to the Mana World. Immediately, you should either press F3 or click Inventory, click on the Cotton Shirt, and click Equip. This will make you less half-naked and increase your defense.<br />
<br />
You gain levels by killing monsters. Killing monsters is what you'll be doing most of the time, so you'd better get used to it. You can either click on a monster, or target the nearest one by pressing "A" and "Ctrl" to attack. It is a lot easier to beat a monster if you target and press "Shft" and "Ctrl" together. This will make you attack automatically as long as you don't move.<br />
<br />
NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) are characters on the server. You can easily recognize them by their grayish blue name. You can click on them to talk to them. Some of them have quests for you to accomplish, others will sell and buy things from you, and some will heal you. If you walk to the right and down through the gate from where you start out, an NPC named Elanore will heal you for free until you get to Level 10. Note that If you attack by holding down CTRL, you can heal by clicking her at the same time. This should help you speed trough those first 10 levels by fighting fire goblins. <br />
<br />
Once you've killed a monster, it dies and looks dead for a few seconds. It may drop an item. You can stand on top of the item and press "G" or "Z" to get the item. If you want to use it, it is in your inventory. If you can't use nor equip it, it might be a quest item or a useless item. Useless items can be sold to the NPC Neko, or any NPC that buys and sells items. Although the prices of the items they sell vary, they always buy from you at the same price. These prices are listed thoroughly on [[Item reference]].<br />
<br />
After you've killed enough monsters, you'll have enough Skill points to get job level 3. Either press F5 or click "Skills", select Basic, and click "Up" three times. For the moment only basic skills are implemented in the game (no magic, yet!), and only the first three levels have a function.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]<br />
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others<br />
<br />
*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions<br />
<br />
*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit<br />
<br />
Press "S" to sit. This makes your automatic recovery go faster. You can also hold "Alt" and press any of the numbers 1 through 9 to emote, or show an emoticon above your head.<br />
<br />
==Raising Your Stats==<br />
'''NOTE: There is no magic in the game yet, so INT is completely worthless! LUCK do nothing that DEX, STR, or VIT don't already do better. Do not up these stats at all!'''<br />
<br />
When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please among the various stats. Essentially, only two routes are beneficial in the long term, and the community refers to them as Warrior, or Melee, and Archer, or Ranged.<br />
<br />
'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''<br />
<br />
===Warrior===<br />
The Warrior is more difficult to train as it eats up 33% more stat points than an Archer, and is more vulnerable to attack from monsters. However, the Warrior has the greatest potential for making money, because there's no need to purchase arrows. The weapon of choice for a Warrior is a Short Sword.<br />
<br />
*'''STR''' is important to increase the base damage of the Short Sword's attack. You can increase this until you are satisfied with your base damage. Note that strength has low priority. For example if your attack does 100 damage,and there's a monster with 390hp you will only beat this monster in less hits when you increase your strength with 30 values. If you use the points required to raise str 30 points on agil and dex, you will attack a lot faster and miss less. <br />
<br />
*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. It also makes healing items heal you an extra percentage of hp. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is important to the Warrior until somewhere in the 50-60 total points range. This is only to ensure that your attacks aren't evaded by high level monsters.<br />
<br />
*'''LUK''' is also very important to train because it raises your critical hit ratio and also is the only way a warrior can raise his base damage after a point.<br />
<br />
Finding a good balance is rather tricky, and players tend to disagree to the ideal ratio. Therefor the best advice I could give you is to take head in what your character really needs during fights, for example if you want to start fighting snakes but can't hit 'm it means it's time to raise dex...<br />
<br />
===Archer===<br />
The Archer is the easiest to train because only two stats are needed to make it strong, and because it can kill monsters more rapidly and efficiently. However, the Archer is dependent on a lot of arrows for its livelihood, and so a lot of inventory weight and money will be taken up by arrows.The strongest weapon for an Archer at the time is the Forest Bow.This can be obtained two ways:1. doing the Forest Bow Quest(See quests subtitle) Or bought at the North Pole's Shop for 20,000gp.<br />
<br />
*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it. <br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. However as an archer your attacks are ranged, thus you need to rely in this less as opposed to warriors. But eventually you will need this for narrow maps that are crowded with monsters. <br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' this is the most important stat for archers because it raises both the accuracy of your attack and adds to the base damage of the Bow. Many Archers are content to stop raising DEX in the 80-90 range, while some others would max it out completely before even starting to touch their vitality.<br />
<br />

==Quests==<br />
<br />
===Aiden and Ishi's monsters points===<br />
''Type:'' Infinite<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' First talk to Aiden he's standing at the gate across Elanore the healer, he'll register you for this quest. After that, the game keeps a count of the number of kills you made and gives you monster points accordingly (note that not all monsters give monster points). You can exchange these points for items by talking to Ishi. There's no point in stocking up the points, the rewards will always be the same.<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' The items you get change, but they are never rare or highly valuable. Most of the items you'll probably just sell. The best items (currently) are cotton pants.<br />
<br />
===Vincent's Action Figure===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; East<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Vincent needs 30 Bug legs to make an action figure.<br />
<br />
''Bug Legs dropped by:'' Maggot (4%); Scorpion (7%); Bat (4%); Spikey mushroom (0.5%); Fire goblin (8%); Giant maggot (7.5%); Red scorpion (5%); Black scorpion (8%) <br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 1,000 GP<br />
<br />
===Sandra's Red Scorpion Stingers===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Hard<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; outside the walls of the market SouthEast corner<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Sandra wants you to bring her 5 Red scorpion stingers to prove you killed them. Red scorpions require some dexterity in order for you to be able to hit them, so depending on what character you're building, it might take a while before you can do this quest.<br />
<br />
''Red scorpion stingers dropped by:'' Red scorpion (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 1 Bow (+15 Damage) + 100 arrows<br />
<br />
===Farmer's Scythe===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' North of Hurnscald<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' The Pinkies are eating the farmer's crops. Bring him 10 Pink antennae as proof of your kills. There are not many pinkies on that map though. I suggest you go to the Ice Cave, where there is a much higher density of pinkies. If you want to know if you'll be able to kill them, Pinkies have more HP then Fire goblins, but give less damage.<br />
<br />
''Pink antennae dropped by:'' Pinkie (8%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 1 Scythe (+75 Damage)<br />
<br />
===Forest Bow===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Medium<br />
<br />
''Location:'' In the bow shop in Hurnscald (there's a practice target out back)<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' The Bow Master can make you a Forest bow. After running back and forth a while between the Bow Master and Jack the Lumberjack you find out you'll have to supply the wood, and pay 10,000 GP. The tricky part is, finding a Log that is good. Before you pay, the Bow Master will test out your Log to see if it's strong enough. Whether or not a Log breaks is random--the chance of it not breaking is 1/20. You can find Log Heads in the Woodlands (SW)<br />
<br />
''Raw logs dropped by:'' Log heads (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 1 Forest bow (+65 Damage)<br />
<br />
===Doug's Snake Lamps===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Medium<br />
<br />
''Location:'' In the Diamonds Cove restaurant (third level, Inn) in the Woodlands (SW) <br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Doug needs 40 Cave snake lamps to light up the rooms in the Inn. The advantage in killing the snakes is, that maybe before you have all the 40 lamps, you'll get some jeans dropped by the snakes.<br />
<br />
''Snake lamps dropped by:'' Cave snakes (8%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 2,000 GP<br />
<br />
===Rauk's Alchemy===<br />

<br />
==Level 60 and Beyond==<br />
It becomes fairly difficult to level up after this point, but it is not entirely uncommon to find players with levels in the 80s, and not impossible to get up to 90 and beyond. It does take a lot of time and work. If you are ambitious about becoming one of the highest level players in the game, be prepared to put in many hours, sometimes many hours at once to reach this goal. Here are a few pointers.<br />
<br />
===Training Location===<br />
The best place to train is the Snake Caves. If you have properly raised your stats and are a skilled archer, you should have no problems going solo there. That said, those who choose to remain melee fighters or lower level player should go in groups. The spawn rate is incredible, and Snakes give 375 EXP a pop. It's a nice treat for the higher level players to get higher faster.<br />
<br />
===Training Technique===<br />
Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands--you can do this through the client in "Setup." I personally use "Q" and "W" on my laptop, which greatly helps my own training endurance.<br />
<br />
Another good trick healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (I prefer Beer... I collect Apples ;p) and make the Inventory window small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click Use whenever you need a quick heal. This is even better if you have an SVN client with the Item Shortcut bar. I toggle the healing item to "x" and just heal with one keystroke when needed. The Item Shortcut bar should be included with the default client in 0.0.25.<br />
<br />
==The Economy==<br />
One element of the game that keeps many players active after they have levelled up til they're sick of it and finished all the quests is The Mana World's in-game economy.<br />
<br />
No doubt you have noticed some of the interesting hats and armor other players wear. Most of these are rare items that were once available freely, during events or quests that have since been removed from the game, etc. Some are just rare drops that anyone can get from monsters in the game if they devote enough time to hunting them.<br />
<br />
Here I will cover all of these items, the general prices they fetch from other players, and where they are from. Of course, these prices are very dynamic. The in-game economy changes constantly. As more time passes after an event, the items become more rare and more in demand. <br />
<br />
===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===<br />
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.<br />
*Leather Gloves 200-300k<br />
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.<br />

*Infantry Helmet 200-300k<br />
**+20 Defense. 0.05% chance of being dropped by Snakes. That's 1 in 2000 on average.<br />
<br />

All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.<br />
<br />

<br />
*V-neck Sweater<br />
**This was actually a Halloween 2007 Event item, but its price has skyrocketed. +8 Defense.<br />

**The two above are +2 Defense hats.<br />

<br />

*Unknown Item<br />
*Red Christmas Stocking<br />
**None of the above do anything (yet?). <br />

<br />
==Final Thoughts==<br />
{{Status_red}}<br />
So you have completed your item collection and levelled as much as you care too. You've finished all of the quests. What else can you do? Well, one of the great things about The Mana World and Open Source software in general is that anyone can help improve it and further it along. There are many ways you can do that even without any "programming" knowledge.<br />
<br />
The more active players the game has, the more potential programmers will be introduced to the game. And the more potential programmers we have, the faster the development will go. That means new features, items, quests, etc. for everyone. How can you help nurture a large active player base?<br />
<br />
Well, as you may have noticed before you read this guide, the game has somewhat of a difficult learning curve for new players. Many more experienced players help newbies with quests and items--some even go so far as to create an account devoted solely to that purpose. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=127 a guide] to help people get started doing that.<br />
<br />
How do experienced players pass the time while we wait for new content? Simply put, we make our own quests and events, stimulating competition among players and giving out prizes as incentive. This is a great way that we keep other players from getting bored and quitting, and anyone can get involved with it. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=129 another guide] to help people host their own events, as well.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, if you have the time and a little bit of know how, you can influence the development of the game directly by helping to code TMWServ, scripting new items, making pixel art for new tilesets, NPCs, monsters, etc, as well as mapping. Mapping especially is very simple and done in a freely available editor called Tiled, which you can read more about on the [[Map development]] page.<br />
<br />
Doing all these things is easier when you are not working alone; indeed, bigger projects can be tackled much faster in groups. Although there is no integrated guild system in the client yet, players have started their own "unofficial" guilds (see [[Guilds]]). They all serve different purposes, but [http://www.holymanaclan.webs.com at least one] (as of this writing) devotes itself to the purpose of furthering the development of the game through the three methods above. Consider joining a guild like this to be a part of a player community that seeks to better the game. You won't be losing your individuality (usually!) in doing so. --[[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 21:56, 14 February 2008 (CET)</div>Shailihttps://oldwiki.devbox.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Getting_started&diff=9022Getting started2008-04-08T17:12:32Z<p>Shaili: /* Raising Your Stats */</p>

<br />
Tip: When walking using the mouse, your character will automatically use a pathfinding algorithm to take the nearest route to the mouse pointer's location.<br />
<br />
Using the mouse to move will allow you to pass trough certain objects, like NPC's and other players! Left click to execute default action: walk, pick up an item, attack a monster and talk to NPCs (be sure to click on their feet). Right click to show up a context menu (attack, trade,...). Holding [Left Shift] prevents from walking when attacking.<br />
<br />
==First Steps==<br />
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''<br />
<br />
[[Image:equip900.gif|frame|An animation showing how to equip.]] You've spawned in Tulimshar for the first time! Congratulations and welcome to the Mana World. Immediately, you should either press F3 or click Inventory, click on the Cotton Shirt, and click Equip. This will make you less half-naked and increase your defense.<br />
<br />
You gain levels by killing monsters. Killing monsters is what you'll be doing most of the time, so you'd better get used to it. You can either click on a monster, or target the nearest one by pressing "A" and "Ctrl" to attack. It is a lot easier to beat a monster if you target and press "Shft" and "Ctrl" together. This will make you attack automatically as long as you don't move.<br />
<br />
NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) are characters on the server. You can easily recognize them by their grayish blue name. You can click on them to talk to them. Some of them have quests for you to accomplish, others will sell and buy things from you, and some will heal you. If you walk to the right and down through the gate from where you start out, an NPC named Elanore will heal you for free until you get to Level 10. Note that If you attack by holding down CTRL, you can heal by clicking her at the same time. This should help you speed trough those first 10 levels by fighting fire goblins. <br />
<br />
Once you've killed a monster, it dies and looks dead for a few seconds. It may drop an item. You can stand on top of the item and press "G" or "Z" to get the item. If you want to use it, it is in your inventory. If you can't use nor equip it, it might be a quest item or a useless item. Useless items can be sold to the NPC Neko, or any NPC that buys and sells items. Although the prices of the items they sell vary, they always buy from you at the same price. These prices are listed thoroughly on [[Item reference]].<br />
<br />
After you've killed enough monsters, you'll have enough Skill points to get job level 3. Either press F5 or click "Skills", select Basic, and click "Up" three times. For the moment only basic skills are implemented in the game (no magic, yet!), and only the first three levels have a function.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]<br />
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others<br />
<br />
*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions<br />
<br />
*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit<br />
<br />
Press "S" to sit. This makes your automatic recovery go faster. You can also hold "Alt" and press any of the numbers 1 through 9 to emote, or show an emoticon above your head.<br />
<br />
==Raising Your Stats==<br />
'''NOTE: There is no magic in the game yet, so INT is completely worthless! LUCK do nothing that DEX, STR, or VIT don't already do better. Do not up these stats at all!'''<br />
<br />
When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please among the various stats. Essentially, only two routes are beneficial in the long term, and the community refers to them as Warrior, or Melee, and Archer, or Ranged.<br />
<br />
'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''<br />
<br />
===Warrior===<br />
The Warrior is more difficult to train as it eats up 33% more stat points than an Archer, and is more vulnerable to attack from monsters. However, the Warrior has the greatest potential for making money, because there's no need to purchase arrows. The weapon of choice for a Warrior is a Scythe.<br />
<br />
*'''STR''' is important to increase the base damage of the Scythe's attack. You can increase this until you are satisfied with your base damage.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is important to the Warrior until somewhere in the 50-60 total points range. This is only to ensure that your attacks aren't evaded by high level monsters.<br />
<br />
===Archer===<br />
The Archer is the easiest to train because only two stats are needed to make it strong, and because it can kill monsters more rapidly and efficiently. However, the Archer is dependent on a lot of arrows for its livelihood, and so a lot of inventory weight and money will be taken up by arrows.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is also always important because it raises both the accuracy of your attack and the base damage of the Bow. Many Archers are content to stop raising DEX in the 80-90 range.<br />
<br />
==Quick Walkthrough==<br />

==Quests==<br />
<br />
===Aiden and Ishi's monsters points===<br />
''Type:'' Infinite<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' First talk to Aiden he's standing at the gate across Elanore the healer, he'll register you for this quest. After that, the game keeps a count of the number of kills you made and gives you monster points accordingly (note that not all monsters give monster points). You can exchange these points for items by talking to Ishi. There's no point in stocking up the points, the rewards will always be the same.<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' The items you get change, but they are never rare or highly valuable. Most of the items you'll probably just sell. The best items (currently) are cotton pants.<br />
<br />
===Vincent's Action Figure===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; East<br />
<br />

<br />
===Sandra's Red Scorpion Stingers===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Medium<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; outside the walls of the market SouthEast corner<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Sandra wants you to bring her 5 red scorpion stingers to prove you killed them. Red scorpions require some dexterity in order for you to be able to hit them, so depending on what character you're building, it might take a while before you can do this quest.<br />
<br />
''Red Scorpion Stingers dropped by:'' Red Scorpion (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 1 Bow + 100 arrows<br />
<br />
===Farmer's Scythe===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' North of Hurnscald<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' The Pinkies are eating the farmer's crops. Bring him 10 Pink Antennae as proof of your kills. There are not many pinkies on that map though. I suggest you go to the Ice Cave, where there is a much higher density of pinkies. If you want to know if you'll be able to kill them, Pinkies have more HP then Fire Goblins, but give less damage.<br />
<br />
''Pink Antennea dropped by:'' Pinkie (8%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Scythe <br />
<br />
===Forest Bow===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />

After running back and forth a while between the Bow Master and Jack the Lumberjack you find out you'll have to supply the wood, and pay 10,000 GP. The tricky part is, finding a Log that is good. Before you pay, the Bow Master will test out your Log to see if it's strong enough. Whether or not a Log breaks is random--the chance of it not breaking is 1/20. You can find Log Heads in the Woodlands (SW)<br />
<br />
''Raw Logs dropped by:'' Log Heads (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Forest Bow<br />
<br />

<br />
''Location:'' In the Dimond restaurant (second level, Inn) in the Woodlands (SW) <br />
<br />

<br />
''Reward:'' 2000 GP<br />
<br />

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==<br />
''peavey patched this bug making it irrelevant to the current gameplay dynamics on TMW's official server. This means this bug '''does not work''' any longer. Please discuss what should be done with this section on [[Talk:Walkthrough]]'' --[[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 00:30, 7 April 2008 (CEST)<br />
<br />
''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''<br />
<br />
Hold down all three of the following, and do not release until the monster is dead: CTRL + A + Left Mouse button. (CTRL + Q + Left Mouse button for badly configured azerty-keyboards). Then move your mouse (with the left button still held down).<br />
<br />
*If you are using a melee weapon, try to hold the cursor directly over the monster for the greatest efficiency. If it locks up (stops attacking rapidly), drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over the monster again. Repeat as necessary. But DO NOT release any of the buttons until it is dead, or you will have to start over!<br />
<br />
*If you are using a ranged weapon (bows), try to hold the cursor directly over yourself, or over an object or wall for the greatest efficiency. You will be able to attack large groups of monsters, one by one in quick succession, without having to target them individually. Again, if it locks up, drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over yourself again. Repeat as desired, just don't release anything until your group of monsters is dead, or you will have to start over.<br />
<br />
==Level 60 and Beyond==<br />
It becomes fairly difficult to level up after this point, but it is not entirely uncommon to find players with levels in the 80s, and not impossible to get up to 90 and beyond. It does take a lot of time and work. If you are ambitious about becoming one of the highest level players in the game, be prepared to put in many hours, sometimes many hours at once to reach this goal. Here are a few pointers.<br />
<br />
===Training Location===<br />
The best place to train is the Snake Caves. If you have properly raised your stats and are a skilled archer, you should have no problems going solo there. That said, those who choose to remain melee fighters or lower level player should go in groups. The spawn rate is incredible, and Snakes give 375 EXP a pop. It's a nice treat for the higher level players to get higher faster.<br />
<br />
===Training Technique===<br />
Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands--you can do this through the client in "Setup." I personally use "Q" and "W" on my laptop, which greatly helps my own training endurance.<br />
<br />
Another good trick healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (I prefer Beer... I collect Apples ;p) and make the Inventory window small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click Use whenever you need a quick heal. This is even better if you have an SVN client with the Item Shortcut bar. I toggle the healing item to "x" and just heal with one keystroke when needed. The Item Shortcut bar should be included with the default client in 0.0.25.<br />
<br />
==The Economy==<br />
One element of the game that keeps many players active after they have levelled up til they're sick of it and finished all the quests is The Mana World's in-game economy.<br />
<br />
No doubt you have noticed some of the interesting hats and armor other players wear. Most of these are rare items that were once available freely, during events or quests that have since been removed from the game, etc. Some are just rare drops that anyone can get from monsters in the game if they devote enough time to hunting them.<br />
<br />
Here I will cover all of these items, the general prices they fetch from other players, and where they are from. Of course, these prices are very dynamic. The in-game economy changes constantly. As more time passes after an event, the items become more rare and more in demand. <br />
<br />
===Common Items (or... Rare Drops)===<br />
*Jeans 100-200k<br />
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.<br />
*Empty Bottle 300-400k<br />
**Does nothing (yet?). 0.05% chance of being dropped by Flowers or Evil Mushrooms. That's 1 in 2000 on average.<br />
*Infantry Helmet 300-400k<br />
**+20 Defense. 0.05% chance of being dropped by Snakes. That's 1 in 2000 on average.<br />
<br />
===Uncommon Items (or... Christmas 2007 & Easter 2008 Event Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.<br />
<br />
*Santa Cookie<br />
*Purple, Blue, Green, Teal, Red, and Yellow Easter Eggs<br />
**All items above do nothing any more (used in the above events).<br />
*Bunny Ears<br />
**+10 Defense.<br />
*Top Hat<br />
*Face Mask<br />
*Mush Hat<br />
**The three above are +15 Defense hats.<br />
*Shroom Hat<br />
*Funky Hat<br />
*Elf Hat<br />
**The three above are +18 Defense hats.<br />
<br />
===Semi-Rare Items (or... Discontinued Santa Quest Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 400-700k.<br />
<br />
*Turtleneck Sweater<br />
**+6 Defense.<br />
*Winter Gloves<br />
**+2 Defense.<br />
<br />
===Rare Items (or... Halloween 2007 Event Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 500-800k.<br />
<br />
*Dark Crystal<br />
**Does nothing any more (was used in Halloween quest).<br />
*Ranger Hat<br />
**+2 Defense.<br />
*Bandana<br />
**+3 Defense.<br />
*Pumpkin Helmet<br />
*Pirate Hat<br />
*Circlet<br />
*Axe Hat<br />
**The four above are +4 Defense hats.<br />
<br />
===Very Rare Items (or... Christmas/Halloween 2006 Event Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 1-10 million GP... or more.<br />
<br />
*V-neck Sweater<br />
**This was actually a Halloween 2007 Event item, but its price has skyrocketed. +8 Defense.<br />
*Christmas Tree Hat<br />
*Goggles<br />
**The two above are +2 Defense hats.<br />
*Leather Goggles<br />
*Eyepatch<br />
**The two above are +3 Defense hats.<br />
*Antler Hat<br />
*+4 Defense.<br />
*Santa Beard Hat<br />
*+5 Defense.<br />
<br />
===Legendary Items (from Various Events)===<br />
These are so difficult to find that they are rarely bought or sold at all. For our purposes, they are priceless.<br />
<br />
*Bottle of Sand<br />
*Unknown Item<br />
*Red Christmas Stocking<br />
**None of the above do anything (yet?). <br />
*Easter Egg<br />
**+100 HP (healing).<br />
*Bottle of Water<br />
**+250 HP (healing).<br />
*Leather Gloves<br />
**+3 Defense.<br />
<br />
==Final Thoughts==<br />
{{Status_red}}<br />
So you have completed your item collection and levelled as much as you care too. You've finished all of the quests. What else can you do? Well, one of the great things about The Mana World and Open Source software in general is that anyone can help improve it and further it along. There are many ways you can do that even without any "programming" knowledge.<br />
<br />
The more active players the game has, the more potential programmers will be introduced to the game. And the more potential programmers we have, the faster the development will go. That means new features, items, quests, etc. for everyone. How can you help nurture a large active player base?<br />
<br />
Well, as you may have noticed before you read this guide, the game has somewhat of a difficult learning curve for new players. Many more experienced players help newbies with quests and items--some even go so far as to create an account devoted solely to that purpose. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=127 a guide] to help people get started doing that.<br />
<br />
How do experienced players pass the time while we wait for new content? Simply put, we make our own quests and events, stimulating competition among players and giving out prizes as incentive. This is a great way that we keep other players from getting bored and quitting, and anyone can get involved with it. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=129 another guide] to help people host their own events, as well.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, if you have the time and a little bit of know how, you can influence the development of the game directly by helping to code TMWServ, scripting new items, making pixel art for new tilesets, NPCs, monsters, etc, as well as mapping. Mapping especially is very simple and done in a freely available editor called Tiled, which you can read more about on the [[Map development]] page.<br />
<br />
Doing all these things is easier when you are not working alone; indeed, bigger projects can be tackled much faster in groups. Although there is no integrated guild system in the client yet, players have started their own "unofficial" guilds (see [[Guilds]]). They all serve different purposes, but [http://www.holymanaclan.webs.com at least one] (as of this writing) devotes itself to the purpose of furthering the development of the game through the three methods above. Consider joining a guild like this to be a part of a player community that seeks to better the game. You won't be losing your individuality (usually!) in doing so. --[[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 21:56, 14 February 2008 (CET)</div>Shailihttps://oldwiki.devbox.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Getting_started&diff=9018Getting started2008-04-07T19:37:45Z<p>Shaili: /* Raising Your Stats */</p>

==Rules and Etiquette==<br />
The rules of the game, as posted by Platyna are:<br />
<br />
*1. Do not abuse other players (it means insults, swearing etc.)<br />
*2. No bots.<br />
*3. No spamming/flooding (including trade spam).<br />
*4. No begging.<br />
*5. Speak English.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
Additionally we would advise the following etiquette:<br />
<br />
*1. Do not drop-steal without permission (drop-steal: take items dropped by a monster someone else killed)<br />
*2. Do not kill-steal without permission (kill-steal: kill a monster someone else is fighting to get easy exp)<br />
*3. Be polite; take the time to greet people before you ask anything; follow the same etiquette in conversation as you would follow in real life.<br />
*4. Don't do unto others what you wouldn't like to be done to you. Don't say to others what you wouldn't like being said to you.<br />

<br />
Tip: When walking using the mouse, your character will automatically use a pathfinding algorithm to take the nearest route to the mouse pointer's location.<br />
<br />
Using the mouse to move will allow you to pass trough certain objects, like NPC's and other players! Left click to execute default action: walk, pick up an item, attack a monster and talk to NPCs (be sure to click on their feet). Right click to show up a context menu (attack, trade,...). Holding [Left Shift] prevents from walking when attacking.<br />
<br />
==First Steps==<br />
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''<br />
<br />
[[Image:equip900.gif|frame|An animation showing how to equip.]] You've spawned in Tulimshar for the first time! Congratulations and welcome to the Mana World. Immediately, you should either press F3 or click Inventory, click on the Cotton Shirt, and click Equip. This will make you less half-naked and increase your defense.<br />
<br />
You gain levels by killing monsters. Killing monsters is what you'll be doing most of the time, so you'd better get used to it. You can either click on a monster, or target the nearest one by pressing "A" and "Ctrl" to attack. It is a lot easier to beat a monster if you target and press "Shft" and "Ctrl" together. This will make you attack automatically as long as you don't move.<br />
<br />
NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) are characters on the server. You can easily recognize them by their grayish blue name. You can click on them to talk to them. Some of them have quests for you to accomplish, others will sell and buy things from you, and some will heal you. If you walk to the right and down through the gate from where you start out, an NPC named Elanore will heal you for free until you get to Level 10. Note that If you attack by holding down CTRL, you can heal by clicking her at the same time. This should help you speed trough those first 10 levels by fighting fire goblins. <br />
<br />
Once you've killed a monster, it dies and looks dead for a few seconds. It may drop an item. You can stand on top of the item and press "G" or "Z" to get the item. If you want to use it, it is in your inventory. If you can't use nor equip it, it might be a quest item or a useless item. Useless items can be sold to the NPC Neko, or any NPC that buys and sells items. Although the prices of the items they sell vary, they always buy from you at the same price. These prices are listed thoroughly on [[Item reference]].<br />
<br />
After you've killed enough monsters, you'll have enough Skill points to get job level 3. Either press F5 or click "Skills", select Basic, and click "Up" three times. For the moment only basic skills are implemented in the game (no magic, yet!), and only the first three levels have a function.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]<br />
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others<br />
<br />
*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions<br />
<br />
*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit<br />
<br />
Press "S" to sit. This makes your automatic recovery go faster. You can also hold "Alt" and press any of the numbers 1 through 9 to emote, or show an emoticon above your head.<br />
<br />
==Raising Your Stats==<br />
'''NOTE: There is no magic in the game yet, so INT is completely worthless! AGI and LUCK do nothing that DEX, STR, or VIT don't already do better. Do not up these stats at all!'''<br />
<br />
When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please among the various stats. Essentially, only two routes are beneficial in the long term, and the community refers to them as Warrior, or Melee, and Archer, or Ranged.<br />
<br />
'''IMPORTANT!!! AGI has now a increased importance, since the Quick Attack Bug is Fixed! Need some one to rewrite this section!'''<br />
<br />
===Warrior===<br />
The Warrior is more difficult to train as it eats up 33% more stat points than an Archer, and is more vulnerable to attack from monsters. However, the Warrior has the greatest potential for making money, because there's no need to purchase arrows. The weapon of choice for a Warrior is a Scythe.<br />
<br />
*'''STR''' is important to increase the base damage of the Scythe's attack. You can increase this until you are satisfied with your base damage.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is important to the Warrior until somewhere in the 50-60 total points range. This is only to ensure that your attacks aren't evaded by high level monsters.<br />
<br />
===Archer===<br />
The Archer is the easiest to train because only two stats are needed to make it strong, and because it can kill monsters more rapidly and efficiently. However, the Archer is dependent on a lot of arrows for its livelihood, and so a lot of inventory weight and money will be taken up by arrows.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is also always important because it raises both the accuracy of your attack and the base damage of the Bow. Many Archers are content to stop raising DEX in the 80-90 range.<br />
<br />
==Quick Walkthrough==<br />

<br />
==Quests==<br />
<br />
===Aiden and Ishi's monsters points===<br />
''Type:'' Infinite<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' First talk to Aiden he's standing at the gate across Elanore the healer, he'll register you for this quest. After that, the game keeps a count of the number of kills you made and gives you monster points accordingly (note that not all monsters give monster points). You can exchange these points for items by talking to Ishi. There's no point in stocking up the points, the rewards will always be the same.<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' The items you get change, but they are never rare or highly valuable. Most of the items you'll probably just sell. The best items (currently) are cotton pants.<br />
<br />
===Vincent's Action Figure===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; East<br />

<br />
''Difficulty:'' Medium<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; outside the walls of the market SouthEast corner<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Sandra wants you to bring her 5 red scorpion stingers to prove you killed them. Red scorpions require some dexterity in order for you to be able to hit them, so depending on what character you're building, it might take a while before you can do this quest.<br />
<br />
''Red Scorpion Stingers dropped by:'' Red Scorpion (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 1 Bow + 100 arrows<br />
<br />

''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' North of Hurnscald<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' The Pinkies are eating the farmer's crops. Bring him 10 Pink Antennae as proof of your kills. There are not many pinkies on that map though. I suggest you go to the Ice Cave, where there is a much higher density of pinkies.

<br />
''Pink Antennea dropped by:'' Pinkie (8%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Scythe <br />
<br />
===Forest Bow===<br />

''What to do:'' The Bow Master can make you a Forest Bow. After running back and forth a while between the Bow Master and Jack the Lumberjack you find out you'll have to supply the wood, and pay 10,000 GP. The tricky part is, finding a Log that is good. Before you pay, the Bow Master will test out your Log to see if it's strong enough. Whether or not a Log breaks is random--the chance of it not breaking is 1/20. You can find Log Heads in the Woodlands (SW)<br />
<br />
''Raw Logs dropped by:'' Log Heads (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Forest Bow<br />
<br />

<br />
''Location:'' In the Dimond restaurant (second level, Inn) in the Woodlands (SW) <br />

<br />
''Reward:'' 2000 GP<br />
<br />

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==<br />
''peavey patched this bug making it irrelevant to the current gameplay dynamics on TMW's official server. This means this bug '''does not work''' any longer. Please discuss what should be done with this section on [[Talk:Walkthrough]]'' --[[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 00:30, 7 April 2008 (CEST)<br />
<br />
''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''<br />
<br />
Hold down all three of the following, and do not release until the monster is dead: CTRL + A + Left Mouse button. (CTRL + Q + Left Mouse button for badly configured azerty-keyboards). Then move your mouse (with the left button still held down).<br />
<br />
*If you are using a melee weapon, try to hold the cursor directly over the monster for the greatest efficiency. If it locks up (stops attacking rapidly), drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over the monster again. Repeat as necessary. But DO NOT release any of the buttons until it is dead, or you will have to start over!<br />
<br />
*If you are using a ranged weapon (bows), try to hold the cursor directly over yourself, or over an object or wall for the greatest efficiency. You will be able to attack large groups of monsters, one by one in quick succession, without having to target them individually. Again, if it locks up, drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over yourself again. Repeat as desired, just don't release anything until your group of monsters is dead, or you will have to start over.<br />
<br />
==Level 60 and Beyond==<br />
It becomes fairly difficult to level up after this point, but it is not entirely uncommon to find players with levels in the 80s, and not impossible to get up to 90 and beyond. It does take a lot of time and work. If you are ambitious about becoming one of the highest level players in the game, be prepared to put in many hours, sometimes many hours at once to reach this goal. Here are a few pointers.<br />
<br />
===Training Location===<br />
The best place to train is the Snake Caves. If you have properly raised your stats and are a skilled archer, you should have no problems going solo there. That said, those who choose to remain melee fighters or lower level player should go in groups. The spawn rate is incredible, and Snakes give 375 EXP a pop. It's a nice treat for the higher level players to get higher faster.<br />
<br />
===Training Technique===<br />
Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands--you can do this through the client in "Setup." I personally use "Q" and "W" on my laptop, which greatly helps my own training endurance.<br />
<br />
Another good trick healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (I prefer Beer... I collect Apples ;p) and make the Inventory window small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click Use whenever you need a quick heal. This is even better if you have an SVN client with the Item Shortcut bar. I toggle the healing item to "x" and just heal with one keystroke when needed. The Item Shortcut bar should be included with the default client in 0.0.25.<br />
<br />
==The Economy==<br />
One element of the game that keeps many players active after they have levelled up til they're sick of it and finished all the quests is The Mana World's in-game economy.<br />
<br />
No doubt you have noticed some of the interesting hats and armor other players wear. Most of these are rare items that were once available freely, during events or quests that have since been removed from the game, etc. Some are just rare drops that anyone can get from monsters in the game if they devote enough time to hunting them.<br />
<br />
Here I will cover all of these items, the general prices they fetch from other players, and where they are from. Of course, these prices are very dynamic. The in-game economy changes constantly. As more time passes after an event, the items become more rare and more in demand. <br />
<br />
===Common Items (or... Rare Drops)===<br />
*Jeans 100-200k<br />
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.<br />
*Empty Bottle 300-400k<br />
**Does nothing (yet?). 0.05% chance of being dropped by Flowers or Evil Mushrooms. That's 1 in 2000 on average.<br />
*Infantry Helmet 300-400k<br />
**+20 Defense. 0.05% chance of being dropped by Snakes. That's 1 in 2000 on average.<br />
<br />
===Uncommon Items (or... Christmas 2007 & Easter 2008 Event Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.<br />
<br />
*Santa Cookie<br />
*Purple, Blue, Green, Teal, Red, and Yellow Easter Eggs<br />
**All items above do nothing any more (used in the above events).<br />

**The three above are +15 Defense hats.<br />
*Shroom Hat<br />
*Funky Hat<br />
*Elf Hat<br />
**The three above are +18 Defense hats.<br />
<br />
===Semi-Rare Items (or... Discontinued Santa Quest Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 400-700k.<br />
<br />
*Turtleneck Sweater<br />
**+6 Defense.<br />
*Winter Gloves<br />
**+2 Defense.<br />
<br />
===Rare Items (or... Halloween 2007 Event Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 500-800k.<br />
<br />
*Dark Crystal<br />
**Does nothing any more (was used in Halloween quest).<br />
*Ranger Hat<br />
**+2 Defense.<br />
*Bandana<br />
**+3 Defense.<br />
*Pumpkin Helmet<br />
*Pirate Hat<br />
*Circlet<br />
*Axe Hat<br />
**The four above are +4 Defense hats.<br />
<br />
===Very Rare Items (or... Christmas/Halloween 2006 Event Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 1-10 million GP... or more.<br />
<br />
*V-neck Sweater<br />
**This was actually a Halloween 2007 Event item, but its price has skyrocketed. +8 Defense.<br />
*Christmas Tree Hat<br />
*Goggles<br />
**The two above are +2 Defense hats.<br />

*Eyepatch<br />
**The two above are +3 Defense hats.<br />
*Antler Hat<br />
*+4 Defense.<br />
*Santa Beard Hat<br />
*+5 Defense.<br />
<br />
===Legendary Items (from Various Events)===<br />
These are so difficult to find that they are rarely bought or sold at all. For our purposes, they are priceless.<br />
<br />
*Bottle of Sand<br />
*Unknown Item<br />
*Red Christmas Stocking<br />
**None of the above do anything (yet?). <br />
*Easter Egg<br />
**+100 HP (healing).<br />

**+250 HP (healing).<br />
*Leather Gloves<br />
**+3 Defense.<br />
<br />
==Final Thoughts==<br />
{{Status_red}}<br />
So you have completed your item collection and levelled as much as you care too. You've finished all of the quests. What else can you do? Well, one of the great things about The Mana World and Open Source software in general is that anyone can help improve it and further it along. There are many ways you can do that even without any "programming" knowledge.<br />
<br />
The more active players the game has, the more potential programmers will be introduced to the game. And the more potential programmers we have, the faster the development will go. That means new features, items, quests, etc. for everyone. How can you help nurture a large active player base?<br />
<br />
Well, as you may have noticed before you read this guide, the game has somewhat of a difficult learning curve for new players. Many more experienced players help newbies with quests and items--some even go so far as to create an account devoted solely to that purpose. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=127 a guide] to help people get started doing that.<br />
<br />
How do experienced players pass the time while we wait for new content? Simply put, we make our own quests and events, stimulating competition among players and giving out prizes as incentive. This is a great way that we keep other players from getting bored and quitting, and anyone can get involved with it. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=129 another guide] to help people host their own events, as well.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, if you have the time and a little bit of know how, you can influence the development of the game directly by helping to code TMWServ, scripting new items, making pixel art for new tilesets, NPCs, monsters, etc, as well as mapping. Mapping especially is very simple and done in a freely available editor called Tiled, which you can read more about on the [[Map development]] page.<br />
<br />
Doing all these things is easier when you are not working alone; indeed, bigger projects can be tackled much faster in groups. Although there is no integrated guild system in the client yet, players have started their own "unofficial" guilds (see [[Guilds]]). They all serve different purposes, but [http://www.holymanaclan.webs.com at least one] (as of this writing) devotes itself to the purpose of furthering the development of the game through the three methods above. Consider joining a guild like this to be a part of a player community that seeks to better the game. You won't be losing your individuality (usually!) in doing so. --[[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 21:56, 14 February 2008 (CET)</div>Shailihttps://oldwiki.devbox.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Getting_started&diff=8973Getting started2008-04-06T18:40:20Z<p>Shaili: /* Uncommon Items (or...

<br />
Tip: When walking using the mouse, your character will automatically use a pathfinding algorithm to take the nearest route to the mouse pointer's location.<br />
<br />
Using the mouse to move will allow you to pass trough certain objects, like NPC's and other players! Left click to execute default action: walk, pick up an item, attack a monster and talk to NPCs (be sure to click on their feet). Right click to show up a context menu (attack, trade,...). Holding [Left Shift] prevents from walking when attacking.<br />
<br />
==First Steps==<br />
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''<br />
<br />
[[Image:equip900.gif|frame|An animation showing how to equip.]] You've spawned in Tulimshar for the first time! Congratulations and welcome to the Mana World. Immediately, you should either press F3 or click Inventory, click on the Cotton Shirt, and click Equip. This will make you less half-naked and increase your defense.<br />
<br />
You gain levels by killing monsters. Killing monsters is what you'll be doing most of the time, so you'd better get used to it. You can either click on a monster, or target the nearest one by pressing "A" and "Ctrl" to attack. It is a lot easier to beat a monster if you target and press "Shft" and "Ctrl" together. This will make you attack automatically as long as you don't move.<br />
<br />
NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) are characters on the server. You can easily recognize them by their grayish blue name. You can click on them to talk to them. Some of them have quests for you to accomplish, others will sell and buy things from you, and some will heal you. If you walk to the right and down through the gate from where you start out, an NPC named Elanore will heal you for free until you get to Level 10. Note that If you attack by holding down CTRL, you can heal by clicking her at the same time. This should help you speed trough those first 10 levels by fighting fire goblins. <br />
<br />
Once you've killed a monster, it dies and looks dead for a few seconds. It may drop an item. You can stand on top of the item and press "G" or "Z" to get the item. If you want to use it, it is in your inventory. If you can't use nor equip it, it might be a quest item or a useless item. Useless items can be sold to the NPC Neko, or any NPC that buys and sells items. Although the prices of the items they sell vary, they always buy from you at the same price. These prices are listed thoroughly on [[Item reference]].<br />
<br />
After you've killed enough monsters, you'll have enough Skill points to get job level 3. Either press F5 or click "Skills", select Basic, and click "Up" three times. For the moment only basic skills are implemented in the game (no magic, yet!), and only the first three levels have a function.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]<br />
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others<br />
<br />
*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions<br />
<br />
*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit<br />
<br />
Press "S" to sit. This makes your automatic recovery go faster. You can also hold "Alt" and press any of the numbers 1 through 9 to emote, or show an emoticon above your head.<br />
<br />
==Raising Your Stats==<br />
'''NOTE: There is no magic in the game yet, so INT is completely worthless! AGI and LUCK do nothing that DEX, STR, or VIT don't already do better. Do not up these stats at all!'''<br />
<br />
When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please among the various stats. Essentially, only two routes are beneficial in the long term, and the community refers to them as Warrior, or Melee, and Archer, or Ranged.<br />
<br />
===Warrior===<br />
The Warrior is more difficult to train as it eats up 33% more stat points than an Archer, and is more vulnerable to attack from monsters. However, the Warrior has the greatest potential for making money, because there's no need to purchase arrows. The weapon of choice for a Warrior is a Scythe.<br />
<br />
*'''STR''' is important to increase the base damage of the Scythe's attack. You can increase this until you are satisfied with your base damage.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is important to the Warrior until somewhere in the 50-60 total points range. This is only to ensure that your attacks aren't evaded by high level monsters.<br />
<br />
===Archer===<br />
The Archer is the easiest to train because only two stats are needed to make it strong, and because it can kill monsters more rapidly and efficiently. However, the Archer is dependent on a lot of arrows for its livelihood, and so a lot of inventory weight and money will be taken up by arrows.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is also always important because it raises both the accuracy of your attack and the base damage of the Bow. Many Archers are content to stop raising DEX in the 80-90 range.<br />
<br />

==Quests==<br />
<br />
===Aiden and Ishi's monsters points===<br />
''Type:'' Infinite<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' First talk to Aiden he's standing at the gate across Elanore the healer, he'll register you for this quest. After that, the game keeps a count of the number of kills you made and gives you monster points accordingly (note that not all monsters give monster points). You can exchange these points for items by talking to Ishi. There's no point in stocking up the points, the rewards will always be the same.<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' The items you get change, but they are never rare or highly valuable. Most of the items you'll probably just sell. The best items (currently) are cotton pants.<br />
<br />
===Vincent's Action Figure===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; East<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Vincent need 30 Bug Legs to make an action figure.<br />

''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Medium<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; outside the walls of the market SouthEast corner<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Sandra wants you to bring her 5 red scorpion stingers to prove you killed them. Red scorpions require some dexterity in order for you to be able to hit them, so depending on what character you're building, it might take a while before you can do this quest.<br />
<br />
''Red Scorpion Stingers dropped by:'' Red Scorpion (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 1 Bow + 100 arrows<br />
<br />

''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' North of Hurnscald<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' The Pinkies are eating the farmer's crops. Bring him 10 Pink Antennae as proof of your kills. There are not many pinkies on that map though. I suggest you go to the Ice Cave, where there is a much higher density of pinkies. If you want to know if you'll be able to kill them, Pinkies have more HP then Fire Goblins, but give less damage.<br />
<br />
''Pink Antennea dropped by:'' Pinkie (8%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Scythe <br />
<br />

''What to do:'' The Bow Master can make you a Forest Bow. After running back and forth a while between the Bow Master and Jack the Lumberjack you find out you'll have to supply the wood, and pay 10,000 GP. The tricky part is, finding a Log that is good. Before you pay, the Bow Master will test out your Log to see if it's strong enough. Whether or not a Log breaks is random--the chance of it not breaking is 1/20. You can find Log Heads in the Woodlands (SW)<br />
<br />
''Raw Logs dropped by:'' Log Heads (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Forest Bow<br />

<br />
''Reward:'' 2000 GP<br />
<br />

<br />
==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==<br />
'''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!'''<br />
<br />
Hold down all three of the following, and do not release until the monster is dead: CTRL + A + Left Mouse button. (CTRL + Q + Left Mouse button for badly configured azerty-keyboards). Then move your mouse (with the left button still held down).<br />
<br />
*If you are using a melee weapon, try to hold the cursor directly over the monster for the greatest efficiency. If it locks up (stops attacking rapidly), drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over the monster again. Repeat as necessary. But DO NOT release any of the buttons until it is dead, or you will have to start over!<br />
<br />
*If you are using a ranged weapon (bows), try to hold the cursor directly over yourself, or over an object or wall for the greatest efficiency. You will be able to attack large groups of monsters, one by one in quick succession, without having to target them individually. Again, if it locks up, drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over yourself again. Repeat as desired, just don't release anything until your group of monsters is dead, or you will have to start over.<br />
<br />
<br />
* '''@ 06/04/2008 a patch by Peavey fixed this bug, that are currently no more exploitable.'''<br />
<br />
==Level 60 and Beyond==<br />
It becomes fairly difficult to level up after this point, but it is not entirely uncommon to find players with levels in the 80s, and not impossible to get up to 90 and beyond. It does take a lot of time and work. If you are ambitious about becoming one of the highest level players in the game, be prepared to put in many hours, sometimes many hours at once to reach this goal. Here are a few pointers.<br />
<br />
===Training Location===<br />
The best place to train is the Snake Caves. If you have properly raised your stats and are a skilled archer, you should have no problems going solo there. That said, those who choose to remain melee fighters or lower level player should go in groups. The spawn rate is incredible, and Snakes give 375 EXP a pop. It's a nice treat for the higher level players to get higher faster.<br />
<br />
===Training Technique===<br />
Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands--you can do this through the client in "Setup." I personally use "Q" and "W" on my laptop, which greatly helps my own training endurance.<br />
<br />
Another good trick healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (I prefer Beer... I collect Apples ;p) and make the Inventory window small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click Use whenever you need a quick heal. This is even better if you have an SVN client with the Item Shortcut bar. I toggle the healing item to "x" and just heal with one keystroke when needed. The Item Shortcut bar should be included with the default client in 0.0.25.<br />
<br />
==The Economy==<br />
One element of the game that keeps many players active after they have levelled up til they're sick of it and finished all the quests is The Mana World's in-game economy.<br />
<br />
No doubt you have noticed some of the interesting hats and armor other players wear. Most of these are rare items that were once available freely, during events or quests that have since been removed from the game, etc. Some are just rare drops that anyone can get from monsters in the game if they devote enough time to hunting them.<br />
<br />
Here I will cover all of these items, the general prices they fetch from other players, and where they are from. Of course, these prices are very dynamic. The in-game economy changes constantly. As more time passes after an event, the items become more rare and more in demand. <br />
<br />
===Common Items (or... Rare Drops)===<br />
*Jeans 100-200k<br />

==Final Thoughts==<br />
{{Status_red}}<br />
So you have completed your item collection and levelled as much as you care too. You've finished all of the quests. What else can you do? Well, one of the great things about The Mana World and Open Source software in general is that anyone can help improve it and further it along. There are many ways you can do that even without any "programming" knowledge.<br />
<br />
The more active players the game has, the more potential programmers will be introduced to the game. And the more potential programmers we have, the faster the development will go. That means new features, items, quests, etc. for everyone. How can you help nurture a large active player base?<br />
<br />
Well, as you may have noticed before you read this guide, the game has somewhat of a difficult learning curve for new players. Many more experienced players help newbies with quests and items--some even go so far as to create an account devoted solely to that purpose. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=127 a guide] to help people get started doing that.<br />
<br />
How do experienced players pass the time while we wait for new content? Simply put, we make our own quests and events, stimulating competition among players and giving out prizes as incentive. This is a great way that we keep other players from getting bored and quitting, and anyone can get involved with it. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=129 another guide] to help people host their own events, as well.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, if you have the time and a little bit of know how, you can influence the development of the game directly by helping to code TMWServ, scripting new items, making pixel art for new tilesets, NPCs, monsters, etc, as well as mapping. Mapping especially is very simple and done in a freely available editor called Tiled, which you can read more about on the [[Map development]] page.<br />
<br />
Doing all these things is easier when you are not working alone; indeed, bigger projects can be tackled much faster in groups. Although there is no integrated guild system in the client yet, players have started their own "unofficial" guilds (see [[Guilds]]). They all serve different purposes, but [http://www.holymanaclan.webs.com at least one] (as of this writing) devotes itself to the purpose of furthering the development of the game through the three methods above. Consider joining a guild like this to be a part of a player community that seeks to better the game. You won't be losing your individuality (usually!) in doing so. --[[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 21:56, 14 February 2008 (CET)</div>Shailihttps://oldwiki.devbox.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Getting_started&diff=8969Getting started2008-04-06T11:44:46Z<p>Shaili: /* The "Rapid Attack" Bug */</p>

==Rules and Etiquette==<br />
The rules of the game, as posted by Platyna are:<br />
<br />
*1. Do not abuse other players (it means insults, swearing etc.)<br />
*2. No bots.<br />
*3. No spamming/flooding (including trade spam).<br />

----<br />
<br />
Additionally we would advise the following etiquette:<br />
<br />
*1. Do not drop-steal without permission (drop-steal: take items dropped by a monster someone else killed)<br />
*2. Do not kill-steal without permission (kill-steal: kill a monster someone else is fighting to get easy exp)<br />
*3. Be polite; take the time to greet people before you ask anything; follow the same etiquette in conversation as you would follow in real life.<br />
*4. Don't do unto others what you wouldn't like to be done to you. Don't say to others what you wouldn't like being said to you.<br />

<br />
Tip: When walking using the mouse, your character will automatically use a pathfinding algorithm to take the nearest route to the mouse pointer's location.<br />
<br />
Using the mouse to move will allow you to pass trough certain objects, like NPC's and other players! Left click to execute default action: walk, pick up an item, attack a monster and talk to NPCs (be sure to click on their feet). Right click to show up a context menu (attack, trade,...). Holding [Left Shift] prevents from walking when attacking.<br />
<br />
==First Steps==<br />
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''<br />
<br />
[[Image:equip900.gif|frame|An animation showing how to equip.]] You've spawned in Tulimshar for the first time! Congratulations and welcome to the Mana World. Immediately, you should either press F3 or click Inventory, click on the Cotton Shirt, and click Equip. This will make you less half-naked and increase your defense.<br />
<br />
You gain levels by killing monsters. Killing monsters is what you'll be doing most of the time, so you'd better get used to it. You can either click on a monster, or target the nearest one by pressing "A" and "Ctrl" to attack. It is a lot easier to beat a monster if you target and press "Shft" and "Ctrl" together. This will make you attack automatically as long as you don't move.<br />
<br />
NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) are characters on the server. You can easily recognize them by their grayish blue name. You can click on them to talk to them. Some of them have quests for you to accomplish, others will sell and buy things from you, and some will heal you. If you walk to the right and down through the gate from where you start out, an NPC named Elanore will heal you for free until you get to Level 10. Note that If you attack by holding down CTRL, you can heal by clicking her at the same time. This should help you speed trough those first 10 levels by fighting fire goblins. <br />
<br />
Once you've killed a monster, it dies and looks dead for a few seconds. It may drop an item. You can stand on top of the item and press "G" or "Z" to get the item. If you want to use it, it is in your inventory. If you can't use nor equip it, it might be a quest item or a useless item. Useless items can be sold to the NPC Neko, or any NPC that buys and sells items. Although the prices of the items they sell vary, they always buy from you at the same price. These prices are listed thoroughly on [[Item reference]].<br />
<br />
After you've killed enough monsters, you'll have enough Skill points to get job level 3. Either press F5 or click "Skills", select Basic, and click "Up" three times. For the moment only basic skills are implemented in the game (no magic, yet!), and only the first three levels have a function.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]<br />
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others<br />
<br />
*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions<br />
<br />
*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit<br />
<br />
Press "S" to sit. This makes your automatic recovery go faster. You can also hold "Alt" and press any of the numbers 1 through 9 to emote, or show an emoticon above your head.<br />
<br />
==Raising Your Stats==<br />
'''NOTE: There is no magic in the game yet, so INT is completely worthless! AGI and LUCK do nothing that DEX, STR, or VIT don't already do better. Do not up these stats at all!'''<br />
<br />
When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please among the various stats. Essentially, only two routes are beneficial in the long term, and the community refers to them as Warrior, or Melee, and Archer, or Ranged.<br />
<br />
===Warrior===<br />
The Warrior is more difficult to train as it eats up 33% more stat points than an Archer, and is more vulnerable to attack from monsters. However, the Warrior has the greatest potential for making money, because there's no need to purchase arrows. The weapon of choice for a Warrior is a Scythe.<br />
<br />
*'''STR''' is important to increase the base damage of the Scythe's attack. You can increase this until you are satisfied with your base damage.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is important to the Warrior until somewhere in the 50-60 total points range. This is only to ensure that your attacks aren't evaded by high level monsters.<br />
<br />
===Archer===<br />
The Archer is the easiest to train because only two stats are needed to make it strong, and because it can kill monsters more rapidly and efficiently. However, the Archer is dependent on a lot of arrows for its livelihood, and so a lot of inventory weight and money will be taken up by arrows.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is also always important because it raises both the accuracy of your attack and the base damage of the Bow. Many Archers are content to stop raising DEX in the 80-90 range.<br />
<br />
==Quick Walkthrough==<br />

==Quests==<br />
<br />
===Aiden and Ishi's monsters points===<br />
''Type:'' Infinite<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' First talk to Aiden he's standing at the gate across Elanore the healer, he'll register you for this quest. After that, the game keeps a count of the number of kills you made and gives you monster points accordingly (note that not all monsters give monster points). You can exchange these points for items by talking to Ishi. There's no point in stocking up the points, the rewards will always be the same.<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' The items you get change, but they are never rare or highly valuable. Most of the items you'll probably just sell. The best items (currently) are cotton pants.<br />
<br />
===Vincent's Action Figure===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; East<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Vincent need 30 Bug Legs to make an action figure.<br />
<br />

''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Medium<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; outside the walls of the market SouthEast corner<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Sandra wants you to bring her 5 red scorpion stingers to prove you killed them. Red scorpions require some dexterity in order for you to be able to hit them, so depending on what character you're building, it might take a while before you can do this quest.<br />
<br />
''Red Scorpion Stingers dropped by:'' Red Scorpion (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 1 Bow + 100 arrows<br />
<br />
===Farmer's Scythe===<br />

<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' North of Hurnscald<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' The Pinkies are eating the farmer's crops. Bring him 10 Pink Antennae as proof of your kills. There are not many pinkies on that map though. I suggest you go to the Ice Cave, where there is a much higher density of pinkies. If you want to know if you'll be able to kill them, Pinkies have more HP then Fire Goblins, but give less damage.<br />
<br />
''Pink Antennea dropped by:'' Pinkie (8%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Scythe <br />
<br />

<br />
''What to do:'' The Bow Master can make you a Forest Bow. After running back and forth a while between the Bow Master and Jack the Lumberjack you find out you'll have to supply the wood, and pay 10,000 GP. The tricky part is, finding a Log that is good. Before you pay, the Bow Master will test out your Log to see if it's strong enough. Whether or not a Log breaks is random--the chance of it not breaking is 1/20. You can find Log Heads in the Woodlands (SW)<br />
<br />
''Raw Logs dropped by:'' Log Heads (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Forest Bow<br />

<br />
''Location:'' In the Dimond restaurant (second level, Inn) in the Woodlands (SW) <br />

<br />
''Reward:'' 2000 GP<br />
<br />

<br />
==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==<br />
'''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!'''<br />
<br />
Hold down all three of the following, and do not release until the monster is dead: CTRL + A + Left Mouse button. (CTRL + Q + Left Mouse button for badly configured azerty-keyboards). Then move your mouse (with the left button still held down).<br />
<br />
*If you are using a melee weapon, try to hold the cursor directly over the monster for the greatest efficiency. If it locks up (stops attacking rapidly), drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over the monster again. Repeat as necessary. But DO NOT release any of the buttons until it is dead, or you will have to start over!<br />
<br />
*If you are using a ranged weapon (bows), try to hold the cursor directly over yourself, or over an object or wall for the greatest efficiency. You will be able to attack large groups of monsters, one by one in quick succession, without having to target them individually. Again, if it locks up, drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over yourself again. Repeat as desired, just don't release anything until your group of monsters is dead, or you will have to start over.<br />
<br />
<br />
* '''@ 06/04/2008 a patch by Peavey fixed this bug, that are currently no more exploitable.'''<br />
<br />
==Level 60 and Beyond==<br />
It becomes fairly difficult to level up after this point, but it is not entirely uncommon to find players with levels in the 80s, and not impossible to get up to 90 and beyond. It does take a lot of time and work. If you are ambitious about becoming one of the highest level players in the game, be prepared to put in many hours, sometimes many hours at once to reach this goal. Here are a few pointers.<br />
<br />
===Training Location===<br />
The best place to train is the Snake Caves. If you have properly raised your stats and are a skilled archer, you should have no problems going solo there. That said, those who choose to remain melee fighters or lower level player should go in groups. The spawn rate is incredible, and Snakes give 375 EXP a pop. It's a nice treat for the higher level players to get higher faster.<br />
<br />
===Training Technique===<br />
Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands--you can do this through the client in "Setup." I personally use "Q" and "W" on my laptop, which greatly helps my own training endurance.<br />
<br />
Another good trick healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (I prefer Beer... I collect Apples ;p) and make the Inventory window small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click Use whenever you need a quick heal. This is even better if you have an SVN client with the Item Shortcut bar. I toggle the healing item to "x" and just heal with one keystroke when needed. The Item Shortcut bar should be included with the default client in 0.0.25.<br />
<br />
==The Economy==<br />
One element of the game that keeps many players active after they have levelled up til they're sick of it and finished all the quests is The Mana World's in-game economy.<br />
<br />
No doubt you have noticed some of the interesting hats and armor other players wear. Most of these are rare items that were once available freely, during events or quests that have since been removed from the game, etc. Some are just rare drops that anyone can get from monsters in the game if they devote enough time to hunting them.<br />
<br />
Here I will cover all of these items, the general prices they fetch from other players, and where they are from. Of course, these prices are very dynamic. The in-game economy changes constantly. As more time passes after an event, the items become more rare and more in demand. <br />
<br />
===Common Items (or... Rare Drops)===<br />
*Jeans 100-200k<br />
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.<br />

==Final Thoughts==<br />
{{Status_red}}<br />
So you have completed your item collection and levelled as much as you care too. You've finished all of the quests. What else can you do? Well, one of the great things about The Mana World and Open Source software in general is that anyone can help improve it and further it along. There are many ways you can do that even without any "programming" knowledge.<br />
<br />
The more active players the game has, the more potential programmers will be introduced to the game. And the more potential programmers we have, the faster the development will go. That means new features, items, quests, etc. for everyone. How can you help nurture a large active player base?<br />
<br />
Well, as you may have noticed before you read this guide, the game has somewhat of a difficult learning curve for new players. Many more experienced players help newbies with quests and items--some even go so far as to create an account devoted solely to that purpose. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=127 a guide] to help people get started doing that.<br />
<br />
How do experienced players pass the time while we wait for new content? Simply put, we make our own quests and events, stimulating competition among players and giving out prizes as incentive. This is a great way that we keep other players from getting bored and quitting, and anyone can get involved with it. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=129 another guide] to help people host their own events, as well.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, if you have the time and a little bit of know how, you can influence the development of the game directly by helping to code TMWServ, scripting new items, making pixel art for new tilesets, NPCs, monsters, etc, as well as mapping. Mapping especially is very simple and done in a freely available editor called Tiled, which you can read more about on the [[Map development]] page.<br />
<br />
Doing all these things is easier when you are not working alone; indeed, bigger projects can be tackled much faster in groups. Although there is no integrated guild system in the client yet, players have started their own "unofficial" guilds (see [[Guilds]]). They all serve different purposes, but [http://www.holymanaclan.webs.com at least one] (as of this writing) devotes itself to the purpose of furthering the development of the game through the three methods above. Consider joining a guild like this to be a part of a player community that seeks to better the game. You won't be losing your individuality (usually!) in doing so. --[[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 21:56, 14 February 2008 (CET)</div>Shailihttps://oldwiki.devbox.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Getting_started&diff=8968Getting started2008-04-06T11:44:12Z<p>Shaili: /* The "Rapid Attack" Bug */</p>

==Rules and Etiquette==<br />
The rules of the game, as posted by Platyna are:<br />
<br />
*1. Do not abuse other players (it means insults, swearing etc.)<br />

<br />
Tip: When walking using the mouse, your character will automatically use a pathfinding algorithm to take the nearest route to the mouse pointer's location.<br />
<br />
Using the mouse to move will allow you to pass trough certain objects, like NPC's and other players! Left click to execute default action: walk, pick up an item, attack a monster and talk to NPCs (be sure to click on their feet). Right click to show up a context menu (attack, trade,...). Holding [Left Shift] prevents from walking when attacking.<br />
<br />
==First Steps==<br />
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''<br />
<br />
[[Image:equip900.gif|frame|An animation showing how to equip.]] You've spawned in Tulimshar for the first time! Congratulations and welcome to the Mana World. Immediately, you should either press F3 or click Inventory, click on the Cotton Shirt, and click Equip. This will make you less half-naked and increase your defense.<br />
<br />
You gain levels by killing monsters. Killing monsters is what you'll be doing most of the time, so you'd better get used to it. You can either click on a monster, or target the nearest one by pressing "A" and "Ctrl" to attack. It is a lot easier to beat a monster if you target and press "Shft" and "Ctrl" together. This will make you attack automatically as long as you don't move.<br />
<br />
NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) are characters on the server. You can easily recognize them by their grayish blue name. You can click on them to talk to them. Some of them have quests for you to accomplish, others will sell and buy things from you, and some will heal you. If you walk to the right and down through the gate from where you start out, an NPC named Elanore will heal you for free until you get to Level 10. Note that If you attack by holding down CTRL, you can heal by clicking her at the same time. This should help you speed trough those first 10 levels by fighting fire goblins. <br />
<br />
Once you've killed a monster, it dies and looks dead for a few seconds. It may drop an item. You can stand on top of the item and press "G" or "Z" to get the item. If you want to use it, it is in your inventory. If you can't use nor equip it, it might be a quest item or a useless item. Useless items can be sold to the NPC Neko, or any NPC that buys and sells items. Although the prices of the items they sell vary, they always buy from you at the same price. These prices are listed thoroughly on [[Item reference]].<br />
<br />
After you've killed enough monsters, you'll have enough Skill points to get job level 3. Either press F5 or click "Skills", select Basic, and click "Up" three times. For the moment only basic skills are implemented in the game (no magic, yet!), and only the first three levels have a function.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]<br />
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others<br />
<br />
*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions<br />
<br />
*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit<br />
<br />
Press "S" to sit. This makes your automatic recovery go faster. You can also hold "Alt" and press any of the numbers 1 through 9 to emote, or show an emoticon above your head.<br />
<br />
==Raising Your Stats==<br />
'''NOTE: There is no magic in the game yet, so INT is completely worthless! AGI and LUCK do nothing that DEX, STR, or VIT don't already do better. Do not up these stats at all!'''<br />
<br />
When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please among the various stats. Essentially, only two routes are beneficial in the long term, and the community refers to them as Warrior, or Melee, and Archer, or Ranged.<br />
<br />
===Warrior===<br />
The Warrior is more difficult to train as it eats up 33% more stat points than an Archer, and is more vulnerable to attack from monsters. However, the Warrior has the greatest potential for making money, because there's no need to purchase arrows. The weapon of choice for a Warrior is a Scythe.<br />
<br />
*'''STR''' is important to increase the base damage of the Scythe's attack. You can increase this until you are satisfied with your base damage.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is important to the Warrior until somewhere in the 50-60 total points range. This is only to ensure that your attacks aren't evaded by high level monsters.<br />
<br />
===Archer===<br />
The Archer is the easiest to train because only two stats are needed to make it strong, and because it can kill monsters more rapidly and efficiently. However, the Archer is dependent on a lot of arrows for its livelihood, and so a lot of inventory weight and money will be taken up by arrows.<br />
<br />
*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.<br />
<br />
*'''DEX''' is also always important because it raises both the accuracy of your attack and the base damage of the Bow. Many Archers are content to stop raising DEX in the 80-90 range.<br />
<br />
==Quick Walkthrough==<br />

==Quests==<br />
<br />
===Aiden and Ishi's monsters points===<br />
''Type:'' Infinite<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' First talk to Aiden he's standing at the gate across Elanore the healer, he'll register you for this quest. After that, the game keeps a count of the number of kills you made and gives you monster points accordingly (note that not all monsters give monster points). You can exchange these points for items by talking to Ishi. There's no point in stocking up the points, the rewards will always be the same.<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' The items you get change, but they are never rare or highly valuable. Most of the items you'll probably just sell. The best items (currently) are cotton pants.<br />
<br />
===Vincent's Action Figure===<br />
''Type:'' One time<br />
<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; East<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Vincent need 30 Bug Legs to make an action figure.<br />

''Difficulty:'' Medium<br />
<br />
''Location:'' Tulimshar village; outside the walls of the market SouthEast corner<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' Sandra wants you to bring her 5 red scorpion stingers to prove you killed them. Red scorpions require some dexterity in order for you to be able to hit them, so depending on what character you're building, it might take a while before you can do this quest.<br />
<br />
''Red Scorpion Stingers dropped by:'' Red Scorpion (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' 1 Bow + 100 arrows<br />
<br />

<br />
''Difficulty:'' Easy<br />
<br />
''Location:'' North of Hurnscald<br />
<br />
''What to do:'' The Pinkies are eating the farmer's crops. Bring him 10 Pink Antennae as proof of your kills. There are not many pinkies on that map though. I suggest you go to the Ice Cave, where there is a much higher density of pinkies.

<br />
''Pink Antennea dropped by:'' Pinkie (8%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Scythe <br />
<br />

After running back and forth a while between the Bow Master and Jack the Lumberjack you find out you'll have to supply the wood, and pay 10,000 GP. The tricky part is, finding a Log that is good. Before you pay, the Bow Master will test out your Log to see if it's strong enough. Whether or not a Log breaks is random--the chance of it not breaking is 1/20. You can find Log Heads in the Woodlands (SW)<br />
<br />
''Raw Logs dropped by:'' Log Heads (20%)<br />
<br />
''Reward:'' Forest Bow<br />

<br />
''Location:'' In the Dimond restaurant (second level, Inn) in the Woodlands (SW) <br />

<br />
''Reward:'' 2000 GP<br />
<br />

<br />
==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==<br />
'''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!'''<br />
<br />
Hold down all three of the following, and do not release until the monster is dead: CTRL + A + Left Mouse button. (CTRL + Q + Left Mouse button for badly configured azerty-keyboards). Then move your mouse (with the left button still held down).<br />
<br />
*If you are using a melee weapon, try to hold the cursor directly over the monster for the greatest efficiency. If it locks up (stops attacking rapidly), drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over the monster again. Repeat as necessary. But DO NOT release any of the buttons until it is dead, or you will have to start over!<br />
<br />
*If you are using a ranged weapon (bows), try to hold the cursor directly over yourself, or over an object or wall for the greatest efficiency. You will be able to attack large groups of monsters, one by one in quick succession, without having to target them individually. Again, if it locks up, drag the cursor away slightly to move and then hold it over yourself again. Repeat as desired, just don't release anything until your group of monsters is dead, or you will have to start over.<br />
<br />
@ 06/04/2008 a patch by Peavey fixed this bug, that are currently no more exploitable.<br />
<br />
==Level 60 and Beyond==<br />
It becomes fairly difficult to level up after this point, but it is not entirely uncommon to find players with levels in the 80s, and not impossible to get up to 90 and beyond. It does take a lot of time and work. If you are ambitious about becoming one of the highest level players in the game, be prepared to put in many hours, sometimes many hours at once to reach this goal. Here are a few pointers.<br />
<br />
===Training Location===<br />
The best place to train is the Snake Caves. If you have properly raised your stats and are a skilled archer, you should have no problems going solo there. That said, those who choose to remain melee fighters or lower level player should go in groups. The spawn rate is incredible, and Snakes give 375 EXP a pop. It's a nice treat for the higher level players to get higher faster.<br />
<br />
===Training Technique===<br />
Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands--you can do this through the client in "Setup." I personally use "Q" and "W" on my laptop, which greatly helps my own training endurance.<br />
<br />
Another good trick healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (I prefer Beer... I collect Apples ;p) and make the Inventory window small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click Use whenever you need a quick heal. This is even better if you have an SVN client with the Item Shortcut bar. I toggle the healing item to "x" and just heal with one keystroke when needed. The Item Shortcut bar should be included with the default client in 0.0.25.<br />
<br />
==The Economy==<br />
One element of the game that keeps many players active after they have levelled up til they're sick of it and finished all the quests is The Mana World's in-game economy.<br />
<br />
No doubt you have noticed some of the interesting hats and armor other players wear. Most of these are rare items that were once available freely, during events or quests that have since been removed from the game, etc. Some are just rare drops that anyone can get from monsters in the game if they devote enough time to hunting them.<br />
<br />
Here I will cover all of these items, the general prices they fetch from other players, and where they are from. Of course, these prices are very dynamic. The in-game economy changes constantly. As more time passes after an event, the items become more rare and more in demand. <br />
<br />
===Common Items (or... Rare Drops)===<br />
*Jeans 100-200k<br />
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.<br />
*Empty Bottle 300-400k<br />
**Does nothing (yet?). 0.05% chance of being dropped by Flowers or Evil Mushrooms. That's 1 in 2000 on average.<br />
*Infantry Helmet 300-400k<br />
**+20 Defense. 0.05% chance of being dropped by Snakes. That's 1 in 2000 on average.<br />
<br />
===Uncommon Items (or... Christmas 2007 & Easter 2008 Event Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.<br />
<br />
*Santa Cookie<br />
*Purple, Blue, Green, Teal, Red, and Yellow Easter Eggs<br />
**All items above do nothing any more (used in the above events).<br />
*Bunny Ears<br />
**+10 Defense.<br />
***''Note: All these items are'' currently ''still in-game. You can get them right now! This is a placeholder for when they will be removed.'' [[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 03:47, 22 March 2008 (CET)<br />
*Top Hat<br />
*Face Mask<br />
*Mush Hat<br />
**The three above are +15 Defense hats.<br />
*Shroom Hat<br />
*Funky Hat<br />
*Elf Hat<br />
**The three above are +18 Defense hats.<br />
<br />
===Semi-Rare Items (or... Discontinued Santa Quest Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 400-700k.<br />
<br />
*Turtleneck Sweater<br />
**+6 Defense.<br />
*Winter Gloves<br />
**+2 Defense.<br />
<br />
===Rare Items (or... Halloween 2007 Event Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 500-800k.<br />
<br />
*Dark Crystal<br />
**Does nothing any more (was used in Halloween quest).<br />
*Ranger Hat<br />
**+2 Defense.<br />
*Bandana<br />
**+3 Defense.<br />
*Pumpkin Helmet<br />
*Pirate Hat<br />
*Circlet<br />
*Axe Hat<br />
**The four above are +4 Defense hats.<br />
<br />
===Very Rare Items (or... Christmas/Halloween 2006 Event Items)===<br />
All of these can be bought or sold at around 1-10 million GP... or more.<br />
<br />
*V-neck Sweater<br />
**This was actually a Halloween 2007 Event item, but its price has skyrocketed. +8 Defense.<br />
*Christmas Tree Hat<br />
*Goggles<br />
**The two above are +2 Defense hats.<br />
*Leather Goggles<br />
*Eyepatch<br />
**The two above are +3 Defense hats.<br />
*Antler Hat<br />
*+4 Defense.<br />
*Santa Beard Hat<br />
*+5 Defense.<br />
<br />
===Legendary Items (from Various Events)===<br />
These are so difficult to find that they are rarely bought or sold at all. For our purposes, they are priceless.<br />
<br />
*Bottle of Sand<br />
*Unknown Item<br />
*Red Christmas Stocking<br />
**None of the above do anything (yet?). <br />
*Easter Egg<br />

**+3 Defense.<br />
<br />
==Final Thoughts==<br />
{{Status_red}}<br />
So you have completed your item collection and levelled as much as you care too. You've finished all of the quests. What else can you do? Well, one of the great things about The Mana World and Open Source software in general is that anyone can help improve it and further it along. There are many ways you can do that even without any "programming" knowledge.<br />
<br />
The more active players the game has, the more potential programmers will be introduced to the game. And the more potential programmers we have, the faster the development will go. That means new features, items, quests, etc. for everyone. How can you help nurture a large active player base?<br />
<br />
Well, as you may have noticed before you read this guide, the game has somewhat of a difficult learning curve for new players. Many more experienced players help newbies with quests and items--some even go so far as to create an account devoted solely to that purpose. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=127 a guide] to help people get started doing that.<br />
<br />
How do experienced players pass the time while we wait for new content? Simply put, we make our own quests and events, stimulating competition among players and giving out prizes as incentive. This is a great way that we keep other players from getting bored and quitting, and anyone can get involved with it. I've written [http://holymana.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=129 another guide] to help people host their own events, as well.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, if you have the time and a little bit of know how, you can influence the development of the game directly by helping to code TMWServ, scripting new items, making pixel art for new tilesets, NPCs, monsters, etc, as well as mapping. Mapping especially is very simple and done in a freely available editor called Tiled, which you can read more about on the [[Map development]] page.<br />
<br />
Doing all these things is easier when you are not working alone; indeed, bigger projects can be tackled much faster in groups. Although there is no integrated guild system in the client yet, players have started their own "unofficial" guilds (see [[Guilds]]). They all serve different purposes, but [http://www.holymanaclan.webs.com at least one] (as of this writing) devotes itself to the purpose of furthering the development of the game through the three methods above. Consider joining a guild like this to be a part of a player community that seeks to better the game. You won't be losing your individuality (usually!) in doing so. --[[User:Sertraline|Sertraline]] 21:56, 14 February 2008 (CET)</div>Shailihttps://oldwiki.devbox.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Player_Groups&diff=8930Player Groups2008-03-29T09:45:56Z<p>Shaili: </p>

==The Holy Mana Clan==<br />

<br />
'''The Holy Mana clan mission statement.'''<br />
<br />
'''Our purpose'''<br />
<br />
The holy mana clan is created mainly to add another flavor to the game. The idea is to have a social network between players for the purpose of organizing in-game events as well as for helping newer players find their way. Membership is completely free. That means it doesn't matter whether you play one hour a week or 5 hours a day. Secondly that means you can quit the clan whenever you get tired of it. And finally it also means we do not ask for fees. Prizes for events will depend on donations of "richer" members. We also keep a registry of the donated gold and items on-line, so people can check and see that this isn't just a scam to make money.<br />
<br />
'''Our policy'''<br />
<br />
Although the purpose of the clan is mainly to make the game more fun, we are serious about our image. If members of the clan act obnoxious it will reflect poorly on all members. Therefore we have a strict policy; we will not accept known trouble makers and we will not hesitate to ban those who are destroying the concept. The idea is to unite as an open group and enjoy the game under the banner with integrity, not to create a closed group that acts superior to non-members. So be on your best behavior.<br />
<br />
'''Our future'''<br />
<br />
Since our options are quite limited on the current server we obviously have limited influence on the game and on gameplay. Yet we are hoping that we can build this clan to a respectable size by the time new options become available. Until then we will probably keep an easygoing mood, and hold our best ideas for later.<br />
