Dynamic quests are quests that are randomly generated. Any number of players can accept a random quest but only one player can solve it and claim the reward. So dynamic quests are a competitive race against other players.

==General==
Quest givers for dynamic quests will spawn randomly at specific locations (bars, city plazas, shops...). They should hand out the quest with a quest description to anyone who speaks to them until someone solved the quest. From that on they don't give the quest anymore but they stay there to give the one who solved the quest his reward. When they gave the reward to the one who solved the quest they disappear.

Quests can also time out after a few hours when no one solves them.

'''Script bindings required'''
:*Timers
:*NPC removing
:*world-global variables (states of dynamic quests)

==Kill the monster==
''"Help! A huge spider roams the forest to the north. I am afraid it will kill me when i go there to collect herbs. Isn't there a hero who can defeat the beast?"''

A special monster is created on a near map. The monster is more powerful than a normal monster. When it dies the player who dealt the most damage to it counts as the quest winner. The quest failed for all other people who have taken the quest. "Kill the monster" quests can theoretically be won by someone who hasn't even taken the quest but ran into the monster randomly. In that case the player has to search for the quest giver to claim the quest reward.

The killing of the quest monster itself shouldn't be rewarded with much exp or items. The real reward should be given by the quest giver. The reason for this is to make killing of quest monsters without knowing where the quest giver is unattractive so that most people prefer not to kill a quest monster when they run into one randomly and leave it to the people who have taken the quest.

Variant: There might be not one but a group of monsters that have to be killed. In that case the quest is solved by the one who kills the most of them.

'''Script bindings required'''
:*Monster spawning on remote maps
:*Death listening
:**On remote maps
:**Communicating the one who killed the being

==Invasion==
''"Your country needs you! The trolls have mobilized an army and are camping one mile to the north. We have to eleminate them before they attack the city. Everyone who helps to deal with this thread will be rewarded."''

A large number of agressive monsters is spawned on a nearby map where they usually don't spawn. The players have to go and eleminate all of them. After all monsters have been eleminated everyone who killed at least one of the monsters receives a small reward. The top 5 (10? 20?) players who kill the most monsters receive a special reward for valor in battle.

Possible plots are:
*An invasion of an army of intelligent creatures
*Undeads that raised for unknown reasons
*Magical beings summoned by an insane wizard or a magical phenomenon

'''Script bindings required'''
:Same as for "Kill the Monster"

==Find item==
''"I have lost my precious ring in the forest to the southwest when running away from the evil mushrooms living there. Can you please look for it? It is a family heirloom and it is very important to me."''

When the quest giver spawns a random item appears on a nearby map. The item is only visible and can only be picked up by players that have accepted the quest from the quest giver (other people who don't look for the item won't notice it). When a player picked the item up the quest is failed for all other people because they can't finish it anymore (Alternative to make it more competive: The one who picked up the item can be attacked and killed by the other questers and when he is killed the item can be looted from him).

The player who has completed the quest might either give the quest item to the quest giver or sell the item to an npc. The npc might pay more for the item than the quest reward is worth. But when the player sells the item, he might become the target of a headhunt quest.

Variant 1: The item might be carried by a monster that looted/swallowed it. So the quest does effectively result in a kill the monster quest.

Variant 2: Instead of the item the player might find a clue pointing to an npc who has taken the item. The consequence is an additional errant quest that has to be solved.

'''Script bindings required'''
:*Item spawning
:**spawning of custom items
:*(For Variant 1) manipulating monster drops

==Errand==
''"Weapon Merchant: Damn, my last delivery of swords is late again. Could you maybe go to Tulimshar and ask the blacksmith why he hasn't delivered them yet?" ... Blacksmith: "Sorry, the swords have been stolen by a bandit. He is hiding somewhere in the desert to the southwest.''

The quest giver will ask the players to bring him an item or an information from another npc. Sometimes the other npc will give the information or item for free, sometimes the npc asks the player to solve another quest for him. The quest is solved as soon as the player got the quest item, solved one of the subquests so that other players can't complete the main quest or told the quest giver the desired information.

'''Script bindings required'''
:Should already be possible with the current script bindings.

==Escort==
''I got some business to do in Sombral. But nowadays there are so many dangerous monsters lurking on the road and I am just a simple merchant. But you look like a strong warrior. Could you escort me there? I will pay you well.''

An NPC (slower than an average player) travels from city A to city B. The merchant has bad defence and doesn't attack but aggressive monsters react on him like they react on a player character. The player has to keep him alive on his path. The player should be able to give the NPC simple commands like "wait here" or "run faster". The lack of such commands and the resulting suicidal behavior of the NPC makes escort missions in other games quite frustrating.

Additional suggestion: What if the NPC follows a predetermined path through an area and you have to keep him alive ... he's stupid and will just stick to the path no matter how bad he's being beaten up ... maybe he'll also want to take a break during his walk so he's an easier target for a period of time --[[User:Zick|Zick]] 23:42, 16 April 2008 (CEST)

'''Script bindings required'''
:*NPCs who change maps
:*NPCs who can be damaged by monsters (special NPC class?)

==Selling Opportunity==
''"I heard the winter will be very cold this year. But i am too busy to collect firewood myself. Can you help me out? I will pay yo 10 Gold for each log. I still need 137 logs to get through the winter."''

The quest giver will offer a unusual high price for a certain common item, but he will make clear that he will only buy up to a specific amount (sometimes only one). The players now have to collect the item and sell it to the npc before someone else does and the npc doesn't buy anymore.

Variant: Reverse dutch auction. When the quest giver requests only one item, he/she might start with a very low price and increase it over the time until someone sells the desired item to him/her.

Suggestion: Perhaps some NPCs that every once a week or something like that ask for a random amount (with a top, of course) of a random item, for a random (though limited) price? A bit hard to get the right balance, but it seems a good idea.

'''Script bindings required'''
:Should already be possible with the current script bindings.

==PvP Quest: Sabotage==
''"There is a golden dragon who is laying eggs on the mountain to the west. Everyone knows that golden dragons are an endangered species and don't attack anyone when they aren't attacked. But the king is afraid and wants to send adventurers to kill it. Please! Someone must stop them!"''

Sometimes there might be NPCs that want that a quest for another NPC is not completed. In that case they hire people to stop people from completing the quest. People who are doing a sabotage quest are able to attack the people who are doing the normal quest and vice versa. Saboteurs and questers should be marked for other saboteurs and questers so everyone knows who is friend and who is enemy. The saboteurs are successful when the normal quest times out. When this occurs the quest reward is divided between all people who have taken the sabotage quest and attacked at least one quester.

When taking a quest with a corresponding sabotage quest the player should be warned that people might try to kill him. Quests with a sabotage quest should time out faster than other quest because otherwise it would be almost impossible to prevent people from solving it and the sabotage quest should not be given to players when more than half of the timeout time has passed. Otherwise people might take the quest just before it timed out and claim their reward without doing anything.

It should not be possible to take a quest and the quest to sabotage it at the same time.

'''Script bindings required'''
:*Manipulating PvP rules between two characters

==PvP Quest: Bounty Hunt==
''"-=DarkWizard=- is a traitor and a thief! He promised that he would bring me my precious ring. But now i found out that he just sold it! Go and pay him a lesson and i will reward you."''

Bounty Hunt quests are usually triggered when a player fails a quest in a way the quest giver doesn't like (like selling the quest item he should have taken to the quest giver). When a headhunter quest is generated the targeted player should receive a message so that he knows that he has to be careful.

The "target" is marked for the "bounty hunters" who are doing the quest. The target can attack the bounty hunter to defend itself, but the bounty hunters aren't marked, so the target doesn't know who its enemies are.

When the target is killed by a bounty hunter (last hit counts) the quest is solved by the one who did the last hit and the target is save again.

Bounty Hunt quests only time out when the target character is in the game and outside of a pvp protection zone. Otherwise he would be able to log out or hide in a protection zone until the quest timed out to avoid being killed.

'''Script bindings required'''
:*Manipulating PvP rules between two characters

==Comments==
This would integrate well with the [[Bounties]] proposal. When a dynamic quest is generated, it is automatically registered with the local bounty office. Players that go to the bounty office are directed to the generating NPC for details. This way it's easier to find out what quests are available without having to talk to every NPC in the game. — [[User:Jaxad0127|Jaxad]][[User Talk:Jaxad0127|0127]] 20:08, 23 December 2007 (CET)

Steve: /* Robberies in Hurnscald */

==Note: experience reward limits==
Experience point rewards will raise the character a maximum of one level. Rushing through these quests to level quickly without exploring the game-world isn't recommended.

==Aiden and Ishiâ€™s monster points==
'''Redoable:''' Yes, forever

'''Recommended from level:''' 1

'''Start location:''' Tulimshar Town; at the market

'''Hints'''
* The earlier you sign up the more monster points youâ€™ll be able to exchange for items.
* Not all monsters give monster points.
* The rewards will always be the same, regardless of number of monster points you have saved up or which level your character has.
* The number of monster points required is raised by one with each exchange.
* Some of the items you get are useful in later quests, but most of the items have no use other than being sold for GP or keeping for nostalgic reasons.
* Currently, of all the possible items to recieve, the one you can sell to shops for most GP are the Cotton Pants (500 GP).

'''Reward'''

'''Redoable:''' Yes, forever

'''Recommended from level:''' 1

'''Location:''' Hurnscald; next to the south entrance

'''What to do'''

# Go to Rauk (Central Woodlands) and ask him about dyes. After conversing with him he will tell you that he can make them with the the right ingredients. See the [[#Rauk the Alchemist|section on Rauk]] for more information.
# Then return to Selim with the dyes to dye the clothes.

'''Tips'''
* Clothes already dyed need to be bleached (see the [[#Candide the Bleacher|Bleacher quest]]) before they can be dyed again.
* The following clothes are dyeable at the moment:
** Cotton Shirts
** Cotton Shorts
** Cotton Skirts
** Short Tank Tops
** Silk Robes
** Tank Tops
** Turtleneck Sweaters
** V-Necked Sweaters

'''Reward'''

# Talk to Vincent, he needs 30 Bug Legs so he can make an action figure.

'''Hint'''
* Bug Legs can also be gotten from [[#Aiden and Ishiâ€™s monster points|monster points]].

'''Bug Legs dropped by:''' Maggots (4%), Scorpions (7%), Bats (4%), Spiky Mushrooms (0.5%), Fire Goblins (8%), Giant Maggots (7.5%), Red Scorpions (5%) and Black Scorpions (8%)

'''Reward'''
* 1,000 GP

'''Total cost'''
* 30 Bug Legs

==Candide the Bleacher==
'''Redoable:''' Yes, forever

'''Recommended from levels:''' 5â€“10

'''Location:''' Tulimshar Town; left to Neko in the marketplace

'''What to do'''
# Talk to Candide and he will tell you about his discovery where he found out how to bleach clothes using the volcanoâ€™s ash.
# He will bleach a cloth for a cost of 5,000 GP and 5 Piles of Ash.

'''Note'''

'''Piles of Ash dropped by'''
* Fire Goblins (5%)

# He wants you to get rid of some Pinkies and promise you a reward, a Scythe.
# Bring him 10 Pink Antennae as proof of your kills and the reward is yours.

'''Hints'''
* There is a larger amount of Pinkies in the Ice Cave below Snow Town than on the map where you find the Farmer.
* If you want to know if youâ€™ll be able to kill the Pinkies, consider that they have more HP than Fire Goblins, but deal less Damage.

'''Pink Antennae dropped by:''' Pinkies (8%)

'''Reward'''
* 1 Scythe (+75 Damage, can only be gotten from this quest)

'''Total cost'''
* 10 Pink Antennae

'''Hints'''

* Red Scorpion Stingers can also be gotten from [[#Aiden and Ishiâ€™s monster points|monster points]]. This makes it possible to complete this quest even at low character levels.

'''Scorpion Stingers dropped by:''' Scorpions (7%)

==The Holy Mana Clan==

'''The Holy Mana clan mission statement.'''

'''Our purpose'''

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. Inactive players might be put on ghost status after a while, but they can immediately be put back once they are active again. Secondly that means you can quit the clan whenever you get tired of it, no strings attached. And finally it also means we do not ask for fees. Prizes for events will depend on donations of "richer" members. We used to keep a registry of the donated gold and items on-line, so people could check and see that this isn't just a scam to make money, but it became to time consuming as the clan grew bigger.

'''Our policy'''

Although the purpose of the clan is 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.

'''Our future'''

Since our options are quite limited on the current server we obviously only have a small 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.

'''Contacting the leaders'''

Every clan is supposed to have leaders and members, to prevent chaos. Although some of them have authority and some don't; the clan needs both of them to survive! Luckily the leaders of this clan are open to suggestions of their members. Is there anything you would like the clan to have, something about the clan you dislike? Do you have any questions? Do you want your home page or favorite page to be added to our "links" page? Do you have any suggestions for the web page or forum? Do you want to be notified of upcoming events?

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

''Type:'' Infinite

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market

''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.

''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.

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.
*Jeans 100-200k
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.
*Snakeskin Chaps 500k-1 million GP
**+6 Defense. Made by Pachua, the Native NPC from Jeans, 10 Snake Skins, and 10k GP.
*Empty Bottle 300-400k
**Does nothing (yet?). 0.05% chance of being dropped by Flowers or Evil Mushrooms. That's 1 in 2000 on average.
*Infantry Helmet 200-300k
**+20 Defense. 0.05% chance of being dropped by Snakes. That's 1 in 2000 on average.

===Uncommon Items (or... Christmas 2007 & Easter 2008 Event Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.

*Santa Cookie
*Purple, Blue, Green, Teal, Red, and Yellow Easter Eggs
**All items above do nothing any more (used in the above events).
*Bunny Ears
**+10 Defense.
*Top Hat
*Face Mask
*Mush Hat
**The three above are +15 Defense hats.
*Shroom Hat
*Funky Hat
*Elf Hat
**The three above are +18 Defense hats.

===Semi-Rare Items (or... Discontinued Santa Quest Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 400-700k.

*Turtleneck Sweater
**+6 Defense.

===Rare Items (or... Halloween 2007 Event Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 500-800k.

*Ranger Hat
**+2 Defense.
*Bandana
**+3 Defense.
*Pumpkin Helmet
*Pirate Hat

All of these can be bought or sold at around 1-10 million GP... or more.

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

**The two above are +2 Defense hats.
*Leather Goggles
*Eyepatch
**The two above are +3 Defense hats.
*Antler Hat
**+4 Defense.
*Santa Beard Hat
**+5 Defense.

===Legendary Items (from Various Events)===

*Scarab armlet
*Red cap
*Bottle of Sand
*Unknown Item
*Red Christmas Stocking
**None of the above do anything (yet?).
*Easter Egg
**+100 HP (healing).

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

''Type:'' Infinite

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market

''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.

''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.

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.
*Jeans 100-200k
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.

**+6 Defense. Made by Pachua, the Native NPC from Jeans, 10 Snake Skins, and 10k GP.
*Empty Bottle 300-400k

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

All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.

*Santa Cookie

*Unknown Item
*Red Christmas Stocking
**None of the above do anything (yet?).
*Easter Egg
**+100 HP (healing).

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

==Quick Walkthrough==
[[Image:Caves.gif|frame|The locations of the two bat caves.]]
*'''LVL 1-15''': Kill maggots and the occassional scorpion. Kill fire goblins while you can heal for free from Elanore.

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.

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

*Unknown Item
*Red Christmas Stocking
**None of the above do anything (yet?).
*Easter Egg
**+100 HP (healing).

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

==Quick Walkthrough==
[[Image:Caves.gif|frame|The locations of the two bat caves.]]
*'''LVL 1-15''': Kill maggots and the occassional scorpion. Kill fire goblins while you can heal for free from Elanore.

Bring him an iron potion (you can buy one in the house just south of the inn) and he'll give you 500gp as reward, he'll also offer to make some winter gloves. He does need some white fur though. And he'll do a quality check for each patch you bring, meaning there's a 1/30 chance that he'll accept your fur.

''What to do:'' Collect fur's until he accepts the quality

''White fur dropped by:'' Fluffy (8%)

''Reward:'' Winter gloves (def+2)

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.

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

*Turtleneck Sweater

*Winter Gloves
**+2 Defense.

===Rare Items (or... Halloween 2007 Event Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 500-800k.

*Ranger Hat
**+2 Defense.
*Bandana
**+3 Defense.
*Pumpkin Helmet
*Pirate Hat

**The two above are +2 Defense hats.
*Leather Goggles
*Eyepatch
**The two above are +3 Defense hats.
*Antler Hat
*+4 Defense.

===Legendary Items (from Various Events)===
These are so difficult to find that they are rarely bought or sold at all. For our purposes, they are priceless.

*Scarab armlet
*Red cap
*Bottle of Sand
*Unknown Item
*Red Christmas Stocking
**None of the above do anything (yet?).
*Easter Egg
**+100 HP (healing).
*Bottle of Water
**+250 HP (healing).

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

==Quick Walkthrough==
[[Image:Caves.gif|frame|The locations of the two bat caves.]]
*'''LVL 1-15''': Kill maggots and the occassional scorpion. Kill fire goblins while you can heal for free from Elanore.

''Type:'' Infinite

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market

''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.

''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.

===Vincent's Action Figure===

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

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).

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.

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.

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

==Quick Walkthrough==
[[Image:Caves.gif|frame|The locations of the two bat caves.]]
*'''LVL 1-15''': Kill maggots and the occassional scorpion. Kill fire goblins while you can heal for free from Elanore.

*'''LVL 13-28''': Kill pinkies, get a Scythe. Kill bats, pinkies and fluffies.

''Type:'' Infinite

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market

''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.

''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.

===Vincent's Action Figure===

You can find Log Heads in the Woodlands (SW)

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.
*Jeans 100-200k

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

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

==Quests==

===Aiden and Ishi's monsters points===
''Type:'' Infinite

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market

''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.

''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.

===Vincent's Action Figure===
''Type:'' One time

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; East

''What to do:'' Vincent need 30 Bug Legs to make an action figure.

''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%)

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)

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.
*Jeans 100-200k
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.
*Snakeskin Chaps 500k-1 million GP
**+6 Defense. Made by Pachua, the Native NPC from Jeans, 10 Snake Skins, and 10k GP.
*Empty Bottle 300-400k
**Does nothing (yet?). 0.05% chance of being dropped by Flowers or Evil Mushrooms. That's 1 in 2000 on average.
*Infantry Helmet 200-300k
**+20 Defense. 0.05% chance of being dropped by Snakes. That's 1 in 2000 on average.

===Uncommon Items (or... Christmas 2007 & Easter 2008 Event Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.

*Santa Cookie
*Purple, Blue, Green, Teal, Red, and Yellow Easter Eggs
**All items above do nothing any more (used in the above events).
*Bunny Ears
**+10 Defense.
*Top Hat
*Face Mask
*Mush Hat
**The three above are +15 Defense hats.
*Shroom Hat
*Funky Hat
*Elf Hat
**The three above are +18 Defense hats.

===Semi-Rare Items (or... Discontinued Santa Quest Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 400-700k.

*Turtleneck Sweater
**+6 Defense.
*Winter Gloves
**+2 Defense.

===Rare Items (or... Halloween 2007 Event Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 500-800k.

*Dark Crystal
**Does nothing any more (was used in Halloween quest).
*Ranger Hat
**+2 Defense.
*Bandana
**+3 Defense.
*Pumpkin Helmet
*Pirate Hat
*Circlet
*Axe Hat
**The four above are +4 Defense hats.

===Very Rare Items (or... Christmas/Halloween 2006 Event Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 1-10 million GP... or more.

*V-neck Sweater
**This was actually a Halloween 2007 Event item, but its price has skyrocketed. +8 Defense.
*Christmas Tree Hat
*Goggles
**The two above are +2 Defense hats.
*Leather Goggles
*Eyepatch
**The two above are +3 Defense hats.
*Antler Hat
*+4 Defense.
*Santa Beard Hat
*+5 Defense.

===Legendary Items (from Various Events)===
These are so difficult to find that they are rarely bought or sold at all. For our purposes, they are priceless.

*Scarab armlet
*Red cap
*Bottle of Sand
*Unknown Item
*Red Christmas Stocking
**None of the above do anything (yet?).
*Easter Egg
**+100 HP (healing).
*Bottle of Water
**+250 HP (healing).

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

''Type:'' Infinite

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market

''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.

''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.

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.

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

All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.

*Santa Cookie

**+2 Defense.

*Bottle of Sand
*Unknown Item
*Red Christmas Stocking

*Easter Egg

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

Holding [Left Shift] prevents from walking when attacking.

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

==Quick Walkthrough==
[[Image:Caves.gif|frame|The locations of the two bat caves.]]
*'''LVL 1-15''': Kill maggots and the occassional scorpion. Kill fire goblins while you can heal for free from Elanore.

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.

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

*Unknown Item
*Red Christmas Stocking
**None of the above do anything (yet?).
*Easter Egg

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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.

*'''Agil''' this makes you attack faster, it's very improtant, always raise it.

*'''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.

*'''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.

==Quick Walkthrough==
[[Image:Caves.gif|frame|The locations of the two bat caves.]]
*'''LVL 1-15''': Kill maggots and the occassional scorpion. Kill fire goblins while you can heal for free from Elanore.

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===

*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.

**+20 Defense. 0.05% chance of being dropped by Snakes. That's 1 in 2000 on average.

*Easter Egg
**+100 HP (healing).
*Bottle of Water
**+250 HP (healing).

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL''' this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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 20,000.

*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.

*'''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.

==Quick Walkthrough==

''Type:'' Infinite

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market

''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.

''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.

===Vincent's Action Figure===

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''AGIL'''this will influence the speed of your attacks

*'''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.

*'''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.

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...

===Archer===
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 20,000.

*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.

*'''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.

==Quick Walkthrough==
[[Image:Caves.gif|frame|The locations of the two bat caves.]]
*'''LVL 1-15''': Kill maggots and the occassional scorpion. Kill fire goblins while you can heal for free from Elanore.

===Aiden and Ishi's monsters points===
''Type:'' Infinite

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market

''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.

''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.

===Vincent's Action Figure===
''Type:'' One time

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; East

''What to do:'' Vincent need 30 Bug Legs to make an action figure.

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)

''Raw Logs dropped by:'' Log Heads (20%)

''Reward:'' Forest Bow

===Doug's Snake Lamps===
''Type:'' One time

''Difficulty:'' Medium

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.
*Jeans 100-200k
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.

**+6 Defense. Made by Pachua, the Native NPC from Jeans, 10 Snake Skins, and 10k GP.
*Empty Bottle 300-400k

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

All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.

*Santa Cookie

**The two above are +3 Defense hats.
*Antler Hat
*+4 Defense.

**None of the above do anything (yet?).
*Easter Egg
**+100 HP (healing).
*Bottle of Water
**+250 HP (healing).

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.

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?

Holding [Left Shift] prevents from walking when attacking.

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.

*'''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.

===Archer===
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 20,000.

*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.

*'''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.

''Type:'' Infinite

''Difficulty:'' Easy

''Location:'' Tulimshar village; market

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.

''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.

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.
*Jeans 100-200k
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.

**+6 Defense. Made by Pachua, the Native NPC from Jeans, 10 Snake Skins, and 10k GP.
*Empty Bottle 300-400k
**Does nothing (yet?). 0.05% chance of being dropped by Flowers or Evil Mushrooms. That's 1 in 2000 on average.
*Infantry Helmet 200-300k
**+20 Defense. 0.05% chance of being dropped by Snakes. That's 1 in 2000 on average.

===Uncommon Items (or... Christmas 2007 & Easter 2008 Event Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.

*Santa Cookie
*Purple, Blue, Green, Teal, Red, and Yellow Easter Eggs
**All items above do nothing any more (used in the above events).
*Bunny Ears
**+10 Defense.
*Top Hat
*Face Mask
*Mush Hat
**The three above are +15 Defense hats.
*Shroom Hat
*Funky Hat
*Elf Hat
**The three above are +18 Defense hats.

===Semi-Rare Items (or... Discontinued Santa Quest Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 400-700k.

*Turtleneck Sweater
**+6 Defense.
*Winter Gloves
**+2 Defense.

===Rare Items (or... Halloween 2007 Event Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 500-800k.

*Dark Crystal
**Does nothing any more (was used in Halloween quest).
*Ranger Hat
**+2 Defense.
*Bandana
**+3 Defense.
*Pumpkin Helmet
*Pirate Hat
*Circlet
*Axe Hat
**The four above are +4 Defense hats.

===Very Rare Items (or... Christmas/Halloween 2006 Event Items)===
All of these can be bought or sold at around 1-10 million GP... or more.

*V-neck Sweater
**This was actually a Halloween 2007 Event item, but its price has skyrocketed. +8 Defense.
*Christmas Tree Hat
*Goggles
**The two above are +2 Defense hats.
*Leather Goggles
*Eyepatch
**The two above are +3 Defense hats.
*Antler Hat
*+4 Defense.
*Santa Beard Hat
*+5 Defense.

===Legendary Items (from Various Events)===
These are so difficult to find that they are rarely bought or sold at all. For our purposes, they are priceless.

*Bottle of Sand
*Unknown Item
*Red Christmas Stocking
**None of the above do anything (yet?).
*Easter Egg
**+100 HP (healing).
*Bottle of Water
**+250 HP (healing).

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

==The "Rapid Attack" Bug==
''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)

''NOTE: This bug will only work with a Scythe or a Bow!''

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).

*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!

*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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

===Least Rare Items (dropped by monsters)===
**Note: Drop rates are changing as the game is being rebalanced. Please update them once values are standardized.
*Leather Gloves 200-300k
**+3 Defense. Dropped by Mountain Snakes.
*Jeans 100-200k
**+4 Defense. 0.1% chance of being dropped by Cave Snakes. That's 1 in 1000 on average.

**+6 Defense. Made by Pachua, the Native NPC from Jeans, 10 Snake Skins, and 10k GP.
*Empty Bottle 300-400k

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

All of these can be bought or sold at around 300-600k.

*Santa Cookie

**+10 Defense.
*Top Hat

**+2 Defense.

*Eyepatch
**The two above are +3 Defense hats.
*Antler Hat
*+4 Defense.

*Unknown Item
*Red Christmas Stocking
**None of the above do anything (yet?).
*Easter Egg
**+100 HP (healing).
*Bottle of Water
**+250 HP (healing).

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

==First Steps==
''Also see: [[Getting started]]''

[[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.

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.

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.

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]].

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.

[[Image:Sitting.gif|frame|An animation showing how to sit.]]
*'''Level 1''' enables the ability to trade with others

*'''Level 2''' enables the ability to express emotions

*'''Level 3''' enables character to sit

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.

==Raising Your Stats==
'''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!'''

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.

'''For BOTH classes AGILITY had become essential, since the 'Quick Attack Bug' fixing. Increse this stat will make your attack faster and faster!'''

===Warrior===
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.

*'''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.

*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.

*'''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.

===Archer===
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 20,000.

*'''VIT''' is always important because it raises both defense and maximum health, as well as speeds up your idle healing rate. Always increase this.

*'''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.

==Quick Walkthrough==
[[Image:Caves.gif|frame|The locations of the two bat caves.]]
*'''LVL 1-15''': Kill maggots and the occassional scorpion. Kill fire goblins while you can heal for free from Elanore.

*'''LVL 13-28''': Kill pinkies, get a Scythe. Kill bats, pinkies and fluffies.

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.

==Level 60 and Beyond==
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.

===Training Location===
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.

===Training Technique===
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.

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.

==The Economy==
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.

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.

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.

==Final Thoughts==
{{Status_red}}
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)
