LEGENDS OF COSRIN ====== LEGENDS OF COSRIN is a wondrous land built away from the trials and strain of the normal world. It is a land populated by strange and dangerous beasts, where legends can be made and fortunes won. You have the chance to experience a full grown world as it evolves around you. It is a land full of magic and mystery where the strongest and bravest souls can truly reach the heavens.

If you are stuck at any point, type WISH <message> like WISH Help me please! and any online Immortals (players that run the game) will assist you as soon as possible. When you issue the WISH command, you will be told how many Gods heard your request. If the number is 0 (meaning no Gods were online), use the SHOUT <message> command to ask for help from other players (SHOUT Help me please). In the world of LEGENDS OF COSRIN you start as a first level character (you have already chosen your character class and race). As you play LEGENDS OF COSRIN, you will complete quests, slay creatures and perform other deeds which amass you experience points. When you achieve certain experience point thresholds, you will be promoted to the next rank (next level). You can use the EXP command to see where you currently are in your experience progression. As you reach these levels, your character will gain additional hit points and spell points plus build points (otherwise known as skill points). It is by finding a Tutor and spending your saved build points that you learn skills or become better at existing skills. This is how your character grows in capability. Different skills will give you different abilities: the ability to slay creatures in combat, the ability to cast spells, the ability to pick locks or hide in shadows, etc. As you gain in abilities, parts of the land once too challenging for you to enter will be within your skill sets. Thus, as you adventure and attain more skill, you will find the world opening up, allowing you to adventure further than ever before. In addition to achieving rewards directly from the game (for example when you complete a quest or slay a creature), IMMORTALS, HEROES and even other players have an influence on your character. As you adventure within the land, you can be awarded roleplaying points from other players. When you achieve a new level, your accumulated roleplaying points for the prior level help determine how many additional new spell points, build points, and hit points your character earns. Thus, players who gain many role playing points will find their characters progressing at a faster rate than those who do not. You should always try to role play well so that other players will reward your roleplaying skills, which in turn will help your character progress. IMMORTALS and HEROES can also have an impact on your character. They can send you on elaborate quests, reward you for heroic actions or excellent role playing, or penalize you for harassing other players or acting out of character. Treat them as important players, because they can have a dramatic effect on your character! The real Goal in LEGENDS OF COSRIN is to have fun, be that by massacring large amounts of monsters or by role playing with your friends, or by solving quests or even a mixture of all three. Try to have fun, that is what you are here for. While you are attaining the skills necessary to gain power and prestige, you will be learning the lands of LEGENDS OF COSRIN, slaying foul beasts, completing complex quests, learning of forgotten magics and secret locations. You should talk with other players, remember everything told to you in a quest or written on a rumor scroll and generally be aware of what's going on. Beginning goals should be: to learn the commands needed to view your character (EXP, STATS, SKILLS, SPELLS, GOLD), learn the commands needed to move about the land (N,S,E,W,U,D,NE,NW,SE,SW), learn the communication commands (SAY, TELL, SHOUT, WISH), learn the item manipulation commands (PACK, UNPACK, I, EQUIP, WIELD, DROP, GET), learn the combat commands (ADVANCE, ATTACK, RETREAT, RECALL), and learn the shop commands (SHOW SKILLS, SHOW SPELLS, SHOW ITEMS, SHOW QUESTS, SHOW SERVICES, BUY, LEARN, SCRIBE, OFFER, SERVICE, SELL). BASIC HINTS =========== From the starting location... go NORTH and explore the ADVENTURERS GUILD. You should join this guild. It is there to help out NEW PLAYERS. You will have to locate a FOUR LEAF CLOVER to join. This is located near the adventurers guild. After you join the ADVENTURERS GUILD, you should explore the inside of the guild. There are several quests in the guild for NOVICE PLAYERS to try out. You should probably start by learning skills being taught within the guild. Use the SHOW SKILLS command to see the skills being taught at a particular location and the LEARN <skill number> command to learn a skill. You should EXPLORE the CATACOMBS that are located in the ADVENTURERS GUILD eventually, but you should give the beginner dungeons a try first if you are unused to combat in LEGENDS OF COSRIN. The Beginner dungeons are located beneath the bar in the Adventurer's guild. You should try to complete a few quests in the TOWN next. BASIC COMMANDS ============== RECALL - Instantly teleports you back to the start when in danger (up until 6th level)! DEATHS - Shows the list of people who died recently KL - Shows your kill list (creatures you've killed) AWARDS - Shows awards you've earned SCORE - Lists your health, level and character information EXP - Shows you how close you are to your next experience level STATS - Lists your attribute scores WHO - Shows who else is online DESCRIPTION1 - Changes your character's description DESCRIPTION2 - Changes your character's description SHOW QUESTS - Shows you a quest if one is available in the location OFFER <item name> - Offers an item to complete a quest PACK <item> - Puts something in your backpack I - Lists what you are carrying UNPACK <item> - Gets something from your pack SHOUT <text> - Shouts for help to other players! 2. WORLD OVERVIEW ================= CLASSES ======= When you first join LEGENDS OF COSRIN, you choose a profession for your character. This profession is either: FIGHTER, WIZARD, RANGER, THIEF, MONK, SHAMAN, SORCERER, or BERSERKER. FIGHTERS or warriors are hardy folk with the aptitude to use hand-to-hand weapons and become quite strong. They tend to be the best at creature slaying. WIZARDS or mages are the spell-casters of LEGENDS OF COSRIN. Their aptitude is for spell-casting, scroll-use and other arcane arts. They are generally poor fighters but what they lack in might, their spell-casting often makes up for! RANGERS are the missile weapon users of the land. Their ability to cause damage from a distance is greatly envied amongst the other classes. These warriors tend to love woodland settings and have a close affinity to animals. Of all the fighting classes, these are the most magically attuned. THIEVES or rogues are the jack-of-all trades of LEGENDS OF COSRIN. They can be decent fighters and have a wide range of skills like picking locks, disarming traps and stealth that come in quite handy! MONKS or martial artists are excellent hand-to-hand combatants that rely on their bodies instead of weapons and armour. They tend to combine some aspects of all three classes and are quite well rounded. THE SHAMAN learns from the school of magic that covers healing. Naturalistic powers are the skills they find easiest to learn. This includes herblore. All the magical guilds in the land will accept shamen into their order. There is nothing to stop a shaman learning spells from another school of magic, but they will find it more difficult than their chosen school. SORCERERS lead an aggressive life; the sorcery school of magic covers all of the offensive spells. All the magical guilds in the land will accept sorcerers into their order. There is nothing to stop a sorcerer learning spells from another school of magic, but they will find it more difficult than their chosen school. Wild-eyed barbarians, the BERSERKER cares little for magic and even less for periods of peace. Berserkers are awesome fighters, but they burn twice as bright and half as long. When engaging in combat, they attack with great speed which is countered by a poor ability to retreat. Many a berserker came to a sticky end because they did not want to pull out of a fight. They live fast and die often. Berserkers do not like to use shields; they prefer to hold onto a weapon with both hands. GUILDS ====== The guild system of LEGENDS OF COSRIN helps to bind people together. Each guild has a guild house; these are special locations that only guild members can enter. Each guild has its own group of guild tutors and guild leaders. The guild leadership is under the control of players voted into position by the members of the guild they represent. All guilds have a Guildmaster and most have three guild Lieutenants that help the Guildmaster in his or her role. Membership in a guild requires the completion of some quest. Search the land and ask guild members about a guild you are interested in joining. The following guilds are available to join MAGES GUILD THIEVES GUILD MONKS GUILD FIGHTERS GUILD The MAGES GUILD is the home of magic and the magical arts. It is a collection of spell casters that strive to improve the world. Those who follow the path of the sorcerers can wield the most damaging spells while those who wish to be wizards are more in tune with enchantments and the creation of magical items. Those following the Shamans path will lean towards the healing of damage and the curing of all ills. The THIEVES GUILD is the home of the bold cat burglar. Rogues are the defenders of the common people: they rob from the wealthy and return it to the people who need it most, mostly themselves. Rogues gain the skills of finding and disarming traps, opening locks and the ability to surprise and assassinate monsters. Rogues who gain in sufficient levels can look forward riding mounts that have been, let us say borrowed, from the other guilds of the land. The MONKS GUILD is a peaceful place of worship; that is not to say that monks never fight - alas, the world is such a terrible place that the good brothers had to learn to fight with their bare hands. Their ability to use the gifts of nature is second to none and can be seen in their creation of herbs and potions. Monks that rise to the required level can call upon the loyal Sphinx their steed. The FIGHTERS GUILD is for the true warriors; they care little about order or code - what matters is the combat and the glory. Warriors welcome anyone who seeks to find battle. Guild members gain the ability to use two handed weapons, create weapons and armour, assess weaponry and the use of missile weapons. THE IMMORTALS ============= Kali, the One the Creator The first great Immortal, she walked from the void and created all that you see before you. She is the true founding mother of the world. We are all a part of her and one day will all return back to her form. Kali is seldom seen within the world. DOUG, Immortal of Knowledge All things that can be known are within the reach of Doug. He is a jolly soul who is often seen strolling the land with a smile and good word to any that meet him. ICA is the Immortal of War, Combat and Adventure. He likes to set tasks to individuals that help them improve themselves. He is a very volatile Immortal and prone to explosive temper outbursts. The Immortal of Magic, as VALTERA chose to be known, aspires to dominion over the entire world. Chaotic to the extreme, she enjoys watching creatures suffer - and not just physical suffering, either. LOKI is the Immortal of Chaos and loves extremes of all kinds. Created through the efforts of Valtera he has aided her in many of her efforts to gain control of the lands. No one knows what plans, if any, he has for himself. INDUS, the Immortal of Law and Justice, is the brother of Ica and the archrival of Loki. His Paladins roam the land spreading his word in hopes of swelling their following for the final battle of the heavens. ANYANA AND ANDARIA are the keepers of time and memories. They were created when Valtera and Loki brought death to the land so that no one would be forgotten. SENRANIA, the Immortal of Life and Death is most likely the first Immortal you will see in you journeys through the lands. All who die eventually find their way to her Plane of rebirth where she allows their return to the lands of the living. GEOGRAPHY ========= LEGENDS OF COSRIN is a HUGE land. It consists of a large continent that is surrounded on all sides by a vast ocean. The main capital is the city of Moorgate located in the Southwest corner of the mainland. There is a main road (called the causeway) that circles the entire land. This will lead you past all the main areas of note within the land (though more are added every day!) Two huge forests dominate the middle of the land (Darkwell wood and Ashwood forest). The Goblin lands of Barh-Kul sit between the two forests. On the Northwest side of the land sits the new city of Stormport, this is still off limits to the mortals of the land while the powers that be clean it up and dispose of all the loose creatures that currently live there. CITIES ====== Moorgate was the first large city to be placed in the realm by the Gods. It is a large port city that thrives on trade with other lands. Moorgate is built on a strict straight road system and it is the home of the four great guilds in the land. Moorgate sits in the bottom Southwest section of the mainland and allows access to all the other areas of the continent. DUNGEONS ======== LEGENDS OF COSRIN is littered with dungeons; most are hidden in hard to reach places, while others are all to easy to stumble into. Catacombs - A starter dungeon located under Moorgate! DarkBlade Dungeon - A small compact dungeon that requires thinking Charon's Cavern - Home to Charon the Black, the largest dragon in the realm! The Sewers - The great plan at improving the waterways of Moorgate backfired! The Fortress - A small fort located within Moorgate, that is in disrepair Orc Town - The home base for the Orcs of the realm, located off the east causeway road. Breeding Grounds - The mound that houses the great Ant Queen and her huge colony! The Jaunt - A set of caverns that contains some tricky traps laid by Kobolds The Troll Caves - The dwelling place of the Darkwell Trolls @STARTER DUNGEONS The Catacombs is the best place to start. You can locate it in the adventurers guild. You can also try the rubble that lies within the city of Moorgate, you can find it on the south section of Immigrant street. The Kobold lair lies out of the east gate of Moorgate, you will need to have an adventurer's badge before you will be allowed out of the city gates. The general rule is, the deeper you go, the nastier the monsters ! CATACOMBS ========= Far below the Adventure Guild lies a huge network of interconnecting caverns and tunnels called the Catacombs. When Moorgate was in its infancy, and the various races and classes were finding new places to settle, the Gnomes chose to dig tunnels and rooms for themselves beneath the city. It was these early Gnomes who, using the dirt and stones from their delving, built the Adventure Guild for the benefit of all Moorgatians. For many years they dug and explored beneath the city. No one really knows why they left, but it is thought that they may have simply tired of all the "toplanders" and beasts coming into their beloved tunnels fighting and bashing on each other. Who knows...perhaps they are down there still, behind seeming walls and huge blocking piles of rubble, still digging, still exploring, still finding new and wondrous treasures. If you venture into the Catacombs, beware of finding yourself wandering lost and becoming fodder for some beast. Orc Town ======== Off the East Causeway, north of Bitter Point Valley, lies the fortress of the Orcs, Orc Town. The entrance to the Fortress is a secret and many have died trying to scale its walls rather than learn the way in through the gate. Many years ago the Monk's, ever wanting to bring some harmony and learning to those who they felt most needed it, sent missionaries to Orc Town. They established the White Palm Mission in hopes of teaching the young orcs the wisdom of knowledge. This was a dismal failure however. In the end all the monks did was to provide a buffet for the voracious and cruel beasts. The books were destroyed and the mission left to deteriorate. Rumors abound about a secret area far beneath the city. Should you gain entrance to the city, be very careful. The Orcs are fierce and very agile and you may find yourself joining those early monks in becoming a snack for some roving patrol. THE FORTRESS ============ The Fortress in the south of Moorgate, was built to guard the troops, servants and slaves of Erasmus the Fell, the pirate who first landed on LEGENDS OF COSRIN's shores. A Slave Trader, Erasmus decided to make use of the shipwreck that landed he and his other 2 ships on this new land. The first building he constructed was the Auction House, the second was The Fortress. Once thought to be impregnable, the Fortress now stands as a monument to ingenuity and the spirit of freedom that burns in all races. Using tunnels dug from their encampment to the Fortress, the escaped slaves, led by a warrior named Karn, entered in the middle of the night and captured and killed Erasmus and all his guards and troops and freed the still captured slaves. No one much wanted to enter a place of such death and terrible memories after the raid and eventually it fell into ruins and was even set to the torch on a few occasions. If you enter there, beware of a Ghostly Captain who has been seen about the place. It is said that the Captain is none other than old Erasmus himself, still seeking vengeance for his brutal slaying on any who wander his way. DARKBLADE DUNGEON This is a small compact dungeon that requires intelligence and planning to defeat. Located in the wilds of Barh-Kul, Darkblade got its name form the unfortunate dark elf that tried to map it. There are rumours that Darkblade Dungeon links to other darker and more dangerous areas of the land, but this has never been fully confirmed. 3. GENERAL GAME COMMANDS ======================== LEGENDS OF COSRIN is totally controlled by the keyboard. Your input is the only way to interact with the world about you. It is therefore vital that you learn the basic commands needed to stay alive. BASIC COMMANDS ============== WHO - Lists who else is playing STATUS - Lists your current score and health LOOK - Looks around the location SEARCH - Searches the location for secret areas ADVANCE - Allows you to advance on a monster ATTACK - Allows you to swing your weapon at a creature I - Allows you to check what you are carrying GOLD - Shows you your current gold total WISH - To talk to a GOD BRIEF - To switch to short descriptions LONG - To switch to long descriptions EXP - Shows you how many experience points and skill points you have QUIT - Saves your character and logs you off LEGENDS OF COSRIN RECALL - Instantly teleports you BACK to the starting location ! MOVEMENT ======== SYNTAX: <compass direction> LEGENDS OF COSRIN allows you to move in any of the basic compass directions: North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest, Up, Down. When you have chosen your direction you just type the first letter (or two for a diagonal) and press return. Example: Obvious exits: North and South > SOUTH You move south As well as the compass directions, you can also move UP or DOWN. In time, you will find new ways of moving around the land. Remember that many movement commands can be shortened. LEGENDS OF COSRIN does not use the commands ENTER, EXIT, IN, our OUT. All movement is via compass directions. TOGGLING EVENT AND LOGON ANNOUNCEMENTS ====================================== SYNTAX: EVENTS LOGONS or LOGINS LEGENDS OF COSRIN is programmed to keep you informed of major events within the land. You will find that these events include people logging in, logging out, gaining a level or completing a quest. The following commands toggle your ability to see the following: EVENTS - informs you of level gains, quest solving LOGONS - informs you of people logging in and out RECALL ====== SYNTAX: RECALL By the might of the Immortals, there is granted a RECALL command. This will instantly move you back to the gates of the city that you have citizenship in, or to the recall point of the city in which you are a citizen. You will find that the Immortals remove this from you after you have attained a reasonable level. After this time, you will be limited to only recalling by the use of rings and spells. While you are granted the recall ability to return to the gates, you simply type RECALL. ROLEPLAY ======== SYNTAX: ROLEPLAY <character> <amount> or RP <character> <amount> As you adventure within the land, you can be awarded role playing points from other players. When you achieve a new level, your accumulated role playing points for the prior level help determine how many new spell points, build points, and hit points your character earns. Thus, players who gain many role playing points will find their characters progressing at a faster rate than those who do not. Thus, you should always try to role play well. Other players will reward your role playing skills, which in turn will help your character progress. To see your current awarded role playing points and to find out how many role playing points you are able to award to other players, use the STATS or EXP commands. To reward a player for excellent role playing, use the ROLEPLAY <player> <amount> command. You receive additional role play points that you can award to other players as you reach each level (the higher level you are, the more points you get). Your awarded role playing points reset at each level. Thus, you need to constantly strive for excellent role playing! BUILD POINTS ============ As you adventure through the land, you will gain experience and levels. To see your current standings, type EXP. This will tell you your current level, how close you are to your next level and how many unspent build points (skill points) you have. You spend build points either at a trainer or with another player. If you are at a location offering training, use the SHOW SKILLS command to see the list of skills being taught and their cost in build points and gold. To learn a skill at a trainer, type LEARN <skill number>. If you have enough gold and sufficient build points, you will learn the skill. Note: the first time you learn a skill, it costs more build points than normal. Also, as you progress in your skill, the build point costs remain the same but the gold piece costs go up. To avoid paying gold pieces to learn skills, you can learn skills from other players. Note: different classes pay different build point costs to learn skills. The closer the skill is to your core class skills, the cheaper it is for you to learn. Note however, that there is NO restriction on the types of skills a player can learn! A half-ogre fighter could learn spell craft; it would just cost him more than an Elven wizard! EXPERIENCE ========== As you adventure throughout the land of LEGENDS OF COSRIN, your character will gain experience points. These reflect your character's learning and experience within the world. You gain experience by casting spells, damaging creatures and completing quests. As you attain certain amounts of experience, you will gain experience levels. When you attain a new experience level, you will gain additional health points, spell points and skill points. Your health points determine how much damage you can take before dying. Your spell points determine how many spells you can cast before needing to rest and your skill points can be used to increase your current skills or to learn new skills or spells. To display your current experience point total and to find out how close you are to your next experience level, use the EXP command. TEACH AND STUDY =============== SYNTAX: TEACH <skill number> STUDY <character> When you attain the Reasonable level with a skill (use the SKILLS command to see your skill levels), you can teach the skill to other players. Use the command: TEACH <skill number> to teach a skill (the skill number corresponds with the skill number shows in the SKILLS command). From that point on, anyone in the same room with you can learn that skill from you (as long as your skill level is higher than theirs). They would use the command: STUDY <player name> to learn the skill from you. Example: Doug wants to teach the one handed weapon skill to Bob. Doug issues the command TEACH 1 and then Bob, in the same room as Doug, issues the command STUDY DOUG. If Doug knows the skill well and Bob is a good learner, he will learn the skill. The cost of learning a skill from another player is 1 extra build point than normal and 0 gold. Thus, learning skills from other players saves you gold, but costs you build points. When you are no longer interested in teaching a skill, use the command: TEACH with no parameter to stop teaching. You can only teach 1 skill at a time. QUESTS ====== SYNTAX: SHOW QUESTS OFFER or OFFER <item> Throughout the land of LEGENDS OF COSRIN are many quests: some small, others mammoth in proportion. In most cases, when you enter a location that has a quest available, you will be told so. In these locations, use the SHOW QUESTS command to see the quest description. If you believe you have fulfilled the quest, place the item required in your right hand (if the quest requires an item to be returned) and issue the OFFER command. Quests that require you to slay a creature do not require items, so in those cases just use the OFFER command regardless of what you have in your right hand. Some quests give experience awards when completed, others teach you skills, some give out awards (use the AWARDS command), some raise statistics, others give gold, some give items and some just give information. In any event, questing is a vital part of LEGENDS OF COSRIN and nobody can expect to become an immortal without a great deal of success as a questor. Note, some quests are hidden and not obvious. In these cases, read the long descriptions of locations carefully and look for clues. Common quests of this type include: push, pull, or use type quests (the room descriptions describes something and you are meant to pull or push it). GOLD ==== Throughout your adventures in LEGENDS OF COSRIN, you will find that GOLD is the most useful of all items you can gain. With gold, you can purchase almost any item, gain healing from a temple, or have magical spells cast upon you. You will find that most merchants will offer you a certain amount of gold for items found around the land. You should always be on the look out for chances to make money. Commands that are useful are as follows: GET <Amount of gold> GOLD This picks up a certain amount of gold DROP <Amount of gold> GOLD Drops a certain amount of gold GOLD Tells you how much gold you have. Note: LEGENDS OF COSRIN keeps track of RECENT gold for you. This makes it easy to judge how successful a particular adventure has been. Also, when adventuring in a group via the FOLLOW command, the group leader can use the SPLIT command to split his recent gold with his party members. The RESET command resets the recent gold total to 0. RESET ===== SYNTAX: RESET This command will reset your counter for the amount of gold you have recently collected. INVENTORY ========= There are four main places that you can store items: In your BACKPACK, WORN on your body, in your HANDS, or in your LOCKER. The following commands are used to manipulate items: GET <item> Picks up an item in a location and places it in your hand. DROP <item> Drops an item from your hand to the ground PACK <item> Puts an item you are holding into your backpack UNPACK <item> Takes an item from your backpack and puts it in your hand. LOCKER <item> Takes an item from your hand and places it in your locker (can only be done at a locker portal) UNLOCKER <item> Takes an item from your locker and places it in your hand. INVENTORY Displays a list of items in your backpack EQUIP Shows items you are wearing or holding SHOW LOCKER Shows a list of items in your locker WEAR <item> Places an article of clothing on your body REMOVE <item> Removes an article of clothing WIELD <item> Wields a weapon or shield from your backpack SWAP <item> Swaps the items in your right and left hands LOCKER ====== SYNTAX: LOCKER <item name> - To place something IN your locker UNLOCKER <item name> - To remove something FROM your locker SHOW LOCKER - To display what is held in your locker The locker portals are one of the gifts from the Immortals. You will find several locations scattered around the land that tell you a Immortal has assigned it as locker portal. This is a magical space that allows you to deposit equipment without fear of it being stolen. Locker areas are all over LEGENDS OF COSRIN - try the centre of cities as a good place as well as your guild. SHOPS ===== SYNTAX: SHOW ITEMS DESCRIBE <item number> BUY <item number> SHOW SPELLS HELP <spell name> SPELL SCRIBE <spell number in shop list> SHOW SKILLS HELP <skill name> LEARN <item number> SHOW SERVICES SERVICE <service number> You will find that the land is filled with many types of shops. You will sell treasures to the MERCHANT shops that fill the cities. There are also shops that provide WEAPONS, ARMOUR, CLOTHING and even INNS. Items, skills, spells and services are all available from shops. APPRAISE ======== SYNTAX: APPRAISE This command should be issued within a shop. You can appraise any item that you are holding. The shopkeeper will look at the item and provide you with an estimate of how much they will pay you if you sell the item. Most quest items are valued at one gold coin or less, so if you come across an item with a poor value, you should try to find a use for it rather than selling it right away. ITEMS ===== Item manipulation is an important part of playing LEGENDS OF COSRIN. In general, in order to do something to an item, you must hold it in your hand. If your hands are full, or you have an item in your hand that requires both hands, you will need to drop an item so that you have a free hand to manipulate the object. To examine an item you are holding, type EXAMINE <item name> This will give you a description of the item and search it for traps. To use an item, you use a command depending on the item type. For Herbs - Use the APPLY <item name> command For Wands, Rods, or Staffs - Use the WAVE <item name> command For Potions - Use the DRINK <item name> command For Statues or Figurines - Use the RUB <item name> command For Scrolls - Use the READ <item name> command For Foods - Use the EAT <item name> command For Weapons - Use the WIELD <item name> command For Armor, or Rings - Use WEAR <item name> Some items have embedded spells in them. An example would be a shield that contained the heal spell or a helmet with the fly spell. If you have such an item, you invoke the power of the item using the ACTIVATE command. Example: ACTIVATE <helm> would attempt to invoke the magic in a magic helm. If your LORE skill is high enough, when you examine an item, you will be told about the embedded magics of an item. CRYSTALS ======== SYNTAX: CRYSTAL <character> You will find several coloured crystals in the land. Each is a different colour. These crystals allow you to TELEPORT to any other mortal who carries a crystal of the same colour. Each guild has a shop that sells guild crystals and the merchant shops sell GENERAL crystals. ** Using the crystal will DESTROY it ** KEYS ==== SYNTAX: TURN KEY USE <key name> You will find many keys on your travels, they usually open the many locked doors and chests that litter the land. To use your key, just type TURN KEY. You will try all the keys you have in your possession. Note that some keys have charges and will crumble away after a certain number of uses. Also note that a key which you wish to use to complete a quest uses the USE keyword. Example: USE SMALL BRASS KEY to attempt to solve a quest with a small brass key. The TURN command is used only when attempting to unlock doors. TURN ==== SYNTAX: TURN or TURN KEY This command allows you to use a KEY. When you issue the command TURN it will automatically try every key you hold against all the locks in the location.

MOUNTNAME ========= SYNTAX: MOUNTNAME <name of mount> This command allows you to NAME your mount. You should try to give your mount a name that helps identify it from all the others in the land. The name will show up when you EXAM other players or yourself. You can alter the name of your mount at any time. CLOTHES ======= SYNTAX: WEAR <Item name> - To put the item on REMOVE <Item name> - To remove an item of clothing EQUIP - To see what you are wearing EXAMINE <item name> - To inspect the item You will find that the shops of LEGENDS OF COSRIN are overflowing with items that the would-be adventurer can use. Among these items are clothing. This can range from the soft fabrics of casual clothes to the armour trappings of a knight. You will find that all items of clothing provide you with some form of protection. You will find shops scattered all over LEGENDS OF COSRIN that can provide you with every form of clothing imaginable. BANK ==== SYNTAX: DEPOSIT <amount> WITHDRAW <amount> BALANCE or GOLD The banks of LEGENDS OF COSRIN are all owned by the White Eagle Company; you can place money in any branch and withdraw from any branch. Commands to use in a bank are: DEPOSIT <amount> To place money in your account WITHDRAW <amount> To withdraw money from your account BALANCE To check your current balance A charge of 10% is made to each deposit. Banks are usually located off the main square or plaza of cities. The GOLD command will show you how much gold you currently have and how much you have in the bank. HISTORY AND AWARDS ================== SYNTAX: AWARDS LEGENDS OF COSRIN has a detailed system for tracking your history. Whenever you finish a major quest or complete a major task, Anyana will note it in her book of time. You are able to review your achievements at any time by issuing the AWARDS command. The STATS command can also be used to note permanent changes to your character (like guild memberships). DEATH ===== Death will come to everyone in LEGENDS OF COSRIN: that is the one definite fact of LEGENDS OF COSRIN. When it happens, you will find that you have joined the spirit world. You will be unable to do very much (such are the restrictions of being a ghost.) Your bond is so strong with your body that you will be unable to move from your death location. While you are a ghost, you will be able to omit a ghostly wail that can be heard throughout the land. When you wish to start your trip to rebirth, you must signal the waiting spirits of the dead lands: this is done by uttering the 'Passage of Death'. To issue this you simply type DIE. Commands available while a spirit WAIL <Text> This sends a deathly wail to all in the land DIE This starts the Passage of Death and signals your willingness to return to the mortal plane. WISH To talk to a Immortal or Hero After you have spoken the 'Passage of Death' you will be taken to the Plane of Rebirth where you can once again enter the mortal plane. Note: death is quite distressing and causes any excess experience and half your gold to be lost. A way to avoid this loss is to find another player with the spell of RESURRECT. OTHER COMMANDS ============== FAST KEYS ========= LEGENDS OF COSRIN has a lot of shortcut keys; a short list follows. SC = SCORE QW = Quick WHO H = HEALTH A = ATTACK AD = ADVANCE G = GET GL = GLANCE I = INVENTORY " = SAY SH = SHOUT KL = KILL LIST EXP= EXPERIENCE GLANCE ====== SYNTAX: GLANCE <direction>, GL <direction> You can use the command GLANCE to look into adjacent locations.

To help you locate them, you can use the SEARCH command. This will allow you to locate hidden items, quests and secret doorways. Your ability to fully search a location is dependent on your awareness skill. You may well have to search an area many times before you finally find a secret way. BRIEF ===== SYNTAX: BRIEF LONG LEGENDS OF COSRIN allows for two types of text styles for the user. The first is LONG - this style is more free flowing and shows room description texts. The second is BRIEF - this shows shorter descriptions for locations. It is STRONGLY advised that you use BRIEF when walking in areas that you are familiar with and use LONG when you are exploring new areas. MACROS ====== SYNTAX: MACRO <macro #> <macro definition> MACROS <macro number> LEGENDS OF COSRIN allows you to predefine macro keys. For example, if your character often issues the command: UNPACK SWORD, you can define a key to issue that command automatically. You do so using the MACRO <macro #> <macro definition> command. Example: MACRO 1 Unpack Sword To issue a macro command, just type the macro number. (1 in the case above). Macro numbers 0-9 are allowed. To see the list of your current macro definitions, use the MACROS command. Macros can also be used to issue multiple commands. Like MACRO 1 UNPACK SWORD;;UNPACK POTION;;DRINK POTION;;PACK POTION;;UNPACK SWORD SHOW ==== SYNTAX: SHOW <items, spells, services, skills, quests> This command is used to LIST the goods, services, spells or skills that a shop can offer.

You will find it helpful to place these locations in your memory. This is achieved by issuing the REMEMBER command. LEGENDS OF COSRIN allows you to remember up to 10 locations; these can be used as the focus point for a teleport spell. The following commands are available: REMEMBER - This lists the locations you have stored REMEMBER <number from 1-10> - This places your current location in the relevant memory slot. N.B. Slot 10 is ALWAYS used to store the result of any locate spell. Certain spells use remembered location slots (like teleport spells etc.) DATE ==== SYNTAX: DATE or TIME This command lists the current date in the land of LEGENDS OF COSRIN. QUIT ==== SYNTAX: QUIT or QQ This is the command to save your character and exit from the land of LEGENDS OF COSRIN. If you wish to quit while in combat, you can issue the command QUIT.

WHO === SYNTAX: WHO, QW, WHO <class>S, QW <class>S, WHO <name>, QW <name> To see a list of who is playing you can use the WHO command. The formats are: WHO to see a long list of all players online QW to see an abbreviated list of all players online If you follow your who command with FIGHTERS, THIEVES, MONKS, or MAGES you will see a list of only people of that profession. Example: QWF WIZARDS would show all wizards online You can also WHO the name of a player to see if they're online: WHO DOUG would show you Doug's full who information if he is online QW DEORI would show you condensed information if Kali was online RECENT LOGONS ============= SYNTAX: LAST or LASTON or RECENT This command will list the last 30 people who have accessed the system.

Each player in LEGENDS OF COSRIN can become a citizen of a city using the CITIZEN command. The CITYRANK command shows the top cities by adding up the rankings of all citizens. The top cities are generally the ones with the most citizens and the highest ranked players. Fellow citizens often offer assistance. It is expected that citizens help fund city developments (each city has a Baron which is displayed in the city rank listing). The baron is responsible for building onto the city and recruiting additional citizens. ROLLING DICE ============ SYNTAX: ROLL <maximum number> This command allows you to generate a random number. You can generate any number between 2 and 100. To generate a number you issue the following command: ROLL <maximum number> so, ROLL 6 will generate a number between 1 and 6. ROLL 2 flips a coin. WALK AND RUN ============ SYNTAX: WALK RUN There are two methods or moving around LEGENDS OF COSRIN, these are RUN and WALK. To change the method you are using, you only have to type the word RUN or WALK. While you are walking, you will be able to see people, creatures and items that are in the locations you pass through. If you elect to RUN, you will only have time to see the room description. 4. INTERACTION ============== ATTITUDE ======== LEGENDS OF COSRIN is a complex world. It has citizens (You are one of them), kings, queens, cities and monsters. Even when you are not on line, the world will continue to evolve and change. You are not just playing a game to score points, you are part of a living world. With this in mind, it is important that you play your 'character' as much as possible. You should treat your character as a real person, react to events as though it was YOU who was involved. Remember that even small actions by you can have far- reaching and unforeseen effects! INTERACTION BASICS ================== LEGENDS OF COSRIN is not as rewarding if you play it on your own: the quests and events are designed for teamwork. You will find the game far more rewarding when you can interact with others for advice and help in gaining experience and building a great character. Try to remember that REAL people are playing the characters that you meet. Try to look upon other players as allies to help you, rather than just people who you don't want to meet. Some important interaction commands are: VIEW <player name> Describes a player you can see SAY <message> Says something to players in your location SHOUT <message> Shouts something to all players in the game WHISPER <to player> <message> Like Say but 1 player FOLLOW <player> Lets you join another player's group FOLLOW Lets you leave a group GUARD <player> Lets you protect another player UNGUARD You stop guarding a player SPLIT <amount> Splits gold with your party WHO Lists who else is online COMMUNICATION ============= The ability to talk to other people in the land is one of LEGENDS OF COSRIN' major plus points. There are many ways to talk to people. SAY === SYNTAX: SAY <message> or " <message> or ' <message> The SAY command is used to tell things to all the people in the same location as yourself. A shortcut for the SAY command is to precede your message with a quote mark ("hello there would be short for SAY HELLO THERE) The quote mark can be either single ('hello there) or double ("hello there) TELL ==== SYNTAX: TELL <character> <message> The TELL command (TELL George Meet me by the pond) has your character send a private message to anyone in the game. WHISPER ======= SYNTAX: WHISPER <character> <message> The WHISPER command (WHISPER George I'll stand with you) whispers something to someone within the same location as you (only their character can hear it). SHOUT ===== SYNTAX: SHOUT <message> The SHOUT command (SHOUT Party at the town square!) sends a message to all players in the game (don't abuse this since other players may get angry!) MESSAGES ======== SYNTAX: MESSAGE <character name> <message text> LEGENDS OF COSRIN has a detailed method of sending and receiving messages. To SEND a message you type MESSAGE <PLAYER NAME> <MESSAGE TEXT>. Example: MESSAGE FRED Hello This would send a message to Fred. When you want to READ your messages, you type MESSAGES. Should you want to delete a message, you can type DELETE <Message number> or DELETE ALL. WISH ==== SYNTAX: WISH <message> This command informs any online Immortal of your request. You should use this command with caution. NOTELLS, NOSHOUTS ================= SYNTAX: NOTELLS TELLS NOSHOUTS SHOUTS The NOTELLS command squelches tells from other players (the TELLS command turns them back on). The NOSHOUTS squelches shouts from other players (the SHOUTS command turns them back on) GROUP INTERACTION ================= FOLLOW ====== SYNTAX: FOLLOW <character> You will find at times that you need to band with other players. This is a simple form of protection that provides you with a reasonable chance of success against the larger creatures that inhabit LEGENDS OF COSRIN. To follow another player you use the FOLLOW command. > Follow Fred To stop following anyone type FOLLOW with no parameters. You can use FOLL as a short name for FOLLOW and shorten the name of the person your following. (So FOLL FRE would work as per the example) If a group of you (i.e. more than 2) want to band together, you MUST all follow ONE person. (The leader.) The command GROUP will list all the people within your group. If you want to remove someone from your group, use the LOSE <person> command. DISBAND causes all people following you to stop. All players in the same group split all experience earned, with the highest level players keeping a larger share than lower level players. NOFOLLOW ======== SYNTAX: NOFOLLOW If you no longer wish to allow people to follow you, use the NOFOLLOW command. Issuing it a second time will again allow people to follow you. DISBAND ======= SYNTAX: DISBAND This command will break up your adventuring group. SPLIT ===== This command will split your carried gold with the people in your group. You should ensure that you have enough gold to share before you issue the command. EMOTES ====== SYNTAX: EM <text> or EMS <text> You will find that it helps to show other people what you are thinking. To help you do this, LEGENDS OF COSRIN allows you to react in a variety of ways; all you have to do is type in an emotion that you wish to convey. There are over four hundred emotions programmed into LEGENDS OF COSRIN. Try different words, one of the fun aspects of LEGENDS OF COSRIN is in finding new emotions to try out. You can also generate your own special emotions by use of the emotion command. To do this you just type the command EM followed by the event you want to describe. EMS followed by the event adds an apostrophe immediately after your character's name. Example: EM throws his arms in the air! Would show: George throws his arms in the air! EMS eye twitches. Would show: George's eye twitches.

You can currently issue the command to join any of the following cities: DEVARDEC TRANOS WOODTOP HELLEGOST When you issue the RECALL command you will be taken back to your home city. DESCRIBE ======== SYNTAX: DESCRIPTION1 <description text> DESCRIPTION2 <description text> You can set your own description using the DESCRIBE commands. DIE === SYNTAX: DIE This command will bring you back from the realm of death. You will find that you will lose all the experience you gained. You can reduce this experience loss by having a mortal cast a spell of resurrection upon you. When you return from the plane of death, you will also lose HALF of the gold that you carried with you. HEALTH ====== SYNTAX: HEALTH or H REST WAKE Looking after your health is a vital element of LEGENDS OF COSRIN. You can check your health at any time by use of the HEALTH or H command. There are two counters that you should watch: your health points and your spell points. Should your health points drop to 0, you will die. If your spell points fall to 0, you will no longer be able to cast spells until you regain them. You can regain your health in several ways. The most common method to use is the REST command. This increases your normal rate of healing while you remain asleep. While asleep, you gain health and spell points at a faster rate than normal. Note: while you are resting you will be unable to protect yourself. You can also use potions of healing or healing herbs to increase your health and spell points. These can be found at various shops around LEGENDS OF COSRIN. Also, you can go to a place of healing (temple, physician, etc.) and use the SHOW SERVICES command to see if healing is being offered. If so, use the SERVICE <service #> command to have the spell cast upon you. SCORE ===== SYNTAX: SCORE This command lists the experience that you have gained within LEGENDS OF COSRIN. DEFENSE ======= This command will list your current defenses vs. the range of attack areas open to monsters. This includes your defense against the base elements.

OFFER ===== SYNTAX: OFFER or OFFER <item name> This command allows you to try and provide the correct item to solve a quest or puzzle. You should hold the required item in your RIGHT hand and issue the command OFFER. DROP ==== SYNTAX: DROP <item> or DR <item> If the item is not in one of your hands, it will be dropped from your backpack. Note: some items are not droppable... GET === SYNTAX: GET <item name> If you don't have a free hand, the item will go into your backpack for storage (use the UNPACK <item> command to unpack it) Note, some items cannot be lifted except by Immortals, others require a certain minimum strength, others you can have but one of and still others you won't be able to drop... DESTROY ======= SYNTAX: DESTROY <item name> This command allows you to destroy any item you are holding in your hands or your backpack. MIX OR COMBINE =============== SYNTAX: MIX or COMBINE This command is used to mix items together, be they herbs, arcana, weaponry etc. The command is used with skills such as HERBLORE, ARCANE, WEAPONSMITHING and ARMOURY. You can attempt to mix any two items together; just hold the two relevant items in your hands and issue the command MIX or COMBINE. BREAK OR DISASSEMBLE ==================== SYNTAX: BREAK or DISASSEMBLE This command is used to break items apart, be they herbs, arcana, weaponry etc. The command is used with skills such as HERBLORE, ARCANE, WEAPONSMITHING and ARMOURY. You can attempt to break any two items apart; just hold the relevant item in your RIGHT hand and issue the command BREAK.

This is done using the PACK command. SWAP ==== SYNTAX: SWAP This command swaps what you hold in your right hand to your left hand. EXAMINE ======= SYNTAX: EXAM <item name> You can examine items to see what properties they have. To examine an item, it must be in your hand OR on the floor. Your ability to detect how useful an item will be is dependent on your LORE skill. Certain items require you to have additional skills (Weapons require the Weaponsmith skill, Armour requires the Armourer skill etc.). ACTIVATE ======== SYNTAX: ACTIVATE <item name> Certain items can have embedded spells (like helms of flying or rings of recall). The item does not have to be held to be activated (it can be worn, or even in your pack) 6. COMBAT ========= MONSTERS As you adventure around the land of LEGENDS OF COSRIN, you will come across many different types of creatures. Some of these creatures will be friends and allies while others will seek to attack you. If you choose to fight these creatures, you will find that you gain experience points and the chance to earn treasure. The monsters are constantly spawning and replenishing their lairs. When you clear a cavern section of monsters, you might well find the caverns fully populated again within a short while! Note also, that there are random encounters which are based upon which part of LEGENDS OF COSRIN you are adventuring in; there are lair or fixed encounters which are always in the same place. Quests are often based on slaying lair creatures. One of the most fun aspects of LEGENDS OF COSRIN is discovering secret or hard to reach lairs! KILL LIST ========= SYNTAX: KL You have a KILL LIST that tracks all the monsters you have slain in the land. You can access your kill list by typing KL ARE YOU AN OUTLAW? ================== If you attack a friendly creature (like a townsperson or merchant), you will become an outlaw. Certain creatures in the game (like town guards) will instantly attack on sight any outlaw they run across. Your status as an outlaw resets when you reach your next level, or if you can convince a God to forgive you! Watch out! Those town guards are nasty! FIGHTING ======== Hand-to-hand fighting is mostly used by the Warrior and Monk class. While it is possible for all classes to fight, you will find that Wizards and Thieves have other ways of killing creatures that are better suited to them. To fight well, you will need to wield a weapon of some sort (unless you are an experienced Monk). Weapons are readily available from shops within the villages and cities. The commands used for fighting are as follows: WIELD < WEAPON NAME > ADVANCE < Target name > (Or AD for short) KILL < Target name > (Or A for short) ATTACKING ========= Combat plays an important part in LEGENDS OF COSRIN; you will find that you have to engage in mortal combat with all manner of evil creatures. The first thing you will have to do, if not using a missile weapon (like a bow or crossbow), is ADVANCE towards the enemy. After you have advanced, you will have to attack the creature. This is done with the KILL or ATTACK command. This can be abbreviated by just typing A. To attack a creature: A <Target> If you leave off a target, you will attack the first creature you are engaged with. Your skill with your weapon and the creature's defenses will determine whether or not you hit and how much damage you do. Don't forget to WIELD a weapon prior to entering combat! You can RETREAT from combat if things don't go so well! To protect another player, you can use the GUARD <player> command. A guarded player cannot be attacked physically by a creature. Typing RECALL will instantly teleport you back to the START ! RETREAT ======= SYNTAX: RETREAT or RE RETREAT <direction> or RE <direction> If combat is not going well you will be able to RETREAT. To do this, you type RETREAT or just RE. You will find that there is a short delay while your character attempts to find a good time to run for it. You can specify a direction for retreating as well. Example: RE W would retreat and then move you to the west. ADVANCE ======= When you decide to attack with a hand-to-hand weapon, you first have to ADVANCE towards it (missile weapons can be used without advancing). This involves you readying your weapon and squaring up to the monster. When you elect to advance the monster will attempt to hit you. To advance on an enemy you use the following command: ADVANCE <Target name> or AD <creature name> for short If there are more than one of a creature type in a room (for example 3 Orc warriors) you can state which one you wish to advance on by placing a number after the advance command. Example (to attack the 3rd Orc in a room) ADVANCE 3 ORC ADVANCE or AD with no parameters advances you towards the first creature in a room Typing RECALL will teleport you away from combat and back to the start! NORMAL ====== This is the standard combat mode that will allow you to block some blows that rain down on you from evil creatures. While you are in normal mode, you will find that your defensive ability is similar to your offensive ability. RELAX ===== This command changes your battle stance and allows you to see all the relevant text that combat generates. CONCENTRATE =========== This command cuts down on the amount of text that you see during combat. When you select this command, you will only see attacks against yourself. PARRY ===== This is a combat mode that will allow you to block the majority of blows that rain down on you from evil creatures. While you are parrying, you will find that your defensive ability is increased, while your offensive ability is greatly reduced. BERSERK ======= This is a combat mode that will allow you to attack with greater power against the creatures. While you are berserk, you will find that your defensive ability is greatly reduced, while your offensive ability is greatly increased. 7. SKILLS ========= As you adventure and achieve experience, you will gain levels. As each level is gained, you will gain skill points. These points can be used to improve existing skills, learn new skills, or learn spells. You learn skills by going to a shop with a trainer. You can type the SHOW SKILLS command to see a list of skills being taught at a particular location. Use LEARN <skill #> to train in that skill. Note: each skill has a skill point cost and a gold cost associated with it (displayed with SHOW SKILLS) Each level of training increases your abilities with that skill. TEACH AND STUDY =============== When you attain the Reasonable level with a skill (use the SKILLS command to see your skill levels), you can teach the skill to other players. Use the command: TEACH <skill number> to teach a skill (the skill number corresponds with the skill number shows in the SKILLS command). From that point on, anyone in the same room with you can learn that skill from you (as long as your skill level is higher than theirs). They would use the command: STUDY <player name> to learn the skill from you. Example: Doug wants to teach the one handed weapon skill to Bob. Doug issues the command TEACH 1 and then Bob, in the same room as Doug, issues the command STUDY DOUG. If Doug knows the skill well and Bob is a good learner, he will learn the skill. The cost of learning a skill from another player is 1 extra build point than normal and 0 gold. Thus, learning skills from other players saves you gold, but costs you build points. When you are no longer interested in teaching a skill, use the command: TEACH with no parameter to stop teaching. You can only teach 1 skill at a time. SKILL LIST ========== 1) One Handed Weapons 2) Two Handed Weapons 3) Missile Weapons 4) Martial Arts 5) Dodging 6) Toughness 7) Naturalism Spell Use 8) Spell Resistance 9) Resilience 10) Magical Dexterity 11) Cabalistic Ability 12) Awareness 13) Pick Locks 14) Remove Traps 15) Pick Pockets 16) Riding 18) Swimming 19) Weaponsmithing 20) Armourer 21) Barter 22) Lore 23) Jeweler 24) Stealth 25) Skill not in use 26) Called Shot 27) Stunning Blow 28) Physical Training 29) Spiritual Karma 30) Multiple Attacks 31) Assassination 32) Warcraft 33) Herbalism 34) Arcana 35) Magic Spell Use 36) Sorcery Spell Use 37) Poisoning SKILL LEVELS ============ Skill ability is rated in the following order: 1) Apprentice 2) Beginner 3) Novice <-- Skill only gives real benefit after this level 4) Reasonable <-- You can teach skills you know at this level 5) Adequate 6) Accomplished 7) Proficient <-- Some classes cannot progress 8) First Rate above this rank in some skills. 9) Outstanding 10) Pre-eminent 11) Supreme <-- Ascendance requires 8 skills to 12) Awesome this level. 13) Ultimate SKILL EXPLANATIONS ================== Note: Except for Weapon Groups, these are ordered alphabetically. WEAPON GROUPS ============= The combat-oriented skills are broken down into four groups: ONE HANDED WEAPONS - Use of weapons which require a single hand like broad swords, daggers, maces, etc. TWO HANDED WEAPONS - Use of weapons which require two hands like two handed swords, great axes, etc. MISSILE WEAPONS - Use of bows, crossbows and other ranged weapons MARTIAL ARTS- Use of special martial arts weapons like Katanas, nunchukus, etc. or the skill used for unarmed combat By using the EXAMINE command on a weapon your are holding, you will find out its type from the list above. The higher the skill you have, the better your chance to hit and damage a creature in combat. Also, a higher skill allows you to swing your weapon in less time, allowing you to attack faster in combat. ARCANA ====== The Arcana skill is the ability to mix spell components together. You will find that spell components form goos and liquids. Mixing these, you are able to form potions and runes. To mix items, you issue the following commands MIX <item one> <item two> The FIRST item you select is always given the greater quantity. You will find that altering the order you mix items will often generate a different result. ARMORER ======= Certain skills allow you to better judge an item's value when you examine it. ARMORER helps determine a piece of armor's value. The higher your skill, the closer your approximation of the item's value. You can use these skills to manufacture items of armour and weapons. You can add magical effects to items by working with a spell caster. FORGING To forge a weapon you have to find the following items: Forging hammer Mould Ingot You must hold the hammer and ingot in your hands. Type MIX to use the hammer on the ingot. As you bash the ingot, you will make the temperature alter. The hotter the ingot, the better the item of armour it will make. When you have worked the ingot, you should then place the mould in your RIGHT hand. Mix the ingot and the mould to produce the item of equipment you require. All items made by a character are greater in ability than the relevant equipment you can buy in a shop. You can add magical effects to items by working with a spell caster. ASSASSINATION ============= If you strike a blow from hiding (hidden or invisible), a check is made on your assassination skill vs. the creature's abilities. If successful, the creature will be instantly killed! Note: this only applies to hand held weapons, not missile weapons and this skill only works when striking a blow from concealment. AWARENESS ========= The awareness skill represents the character's perception of his surroundings. The higher this skill, the greater the probability that he will find secret doors when using the SEARCH command, and find traps when using the EXAMINE command. Also, a SEARCH in a room with a hidden character will be more likely to reveal that character if the user has a high awareness. BARTER ====== The barter skill determines how much you pay for items that you buy and what price you get for items that you sell. A player with a high barter skill will pay less to purchase items and make more money when selling items. When using the SHOW ITEMS command at a shop, you will see two numbers (one in parentheses and one not). The first number is your cost, the second number (the one in parenthesis) is the list price of the item. Thus, you can see just how well your barter skill is working. Note: this skill applies to sold items as well. A person with a higher barter skill will get a better price for sold items. It is a good technique to have the person in the adventuring party with the highest barter skill sell all items found and do all of the group purchasing. CABALISTIC ABILITY ================== The cabalistic ability skill represents the player's ability to use scrolls. The higher this skill, the greater the chance that a character's use of a scroll will be successful. CALLED SHOT =========== This skill is used in conjunction with the AIM command. It allows you to take extra time and care with a blow to attempt to land a very damaging attack. When you wish to use this skill, use the AIM command instead of the ATTACK command to attack a creature. When using this skill, your chance to hit is reduced and your blow takes somewhat longer to land but your damage is increased. DODGING ======= The dodging skill increases your chances of evading an attack from a creature. Thus, a high dodging skill will mean creatures miss you more often. Dodging does not affect the damage done by a successful attack. To reduce damage, wear armour or learn the toughness skill. HERBALISM ========= This skill is the natural ability to mix herbs and seeds. You will find that most herbs and seeds can be combined to form a paste. Pastes can be mixed together to generate herbs with healing properties. HERBLORE If you acquire the herbalism skill, you can use it to mix and combine herbs, seeds and pastes. You should hold the two items you wish to mix in your hands. Type MIX to combine them. The item you hold in your RIGHT hand is always given the greater quantity. You will find that altering the order you mix items will often generate a different result. EXAMPLE: Take a HARRIN herb in your RIGHT hand Take a SUNFLOWER in your left hand Type MIX (to create a BROWN paste) Place the paste on the floor Take a LARANE herb in your RIGHT hand Take a JUNIPTAR SEED in your left hand Type MIX (to create a BLUE paste) Hold the Blue paste in your left hand and the Brown paste in your RIGHT hand. Type MIX (to produce a paste that allows you to Breathe in Water) JEWELER ======= JEWELER helps determine the value of a treasure. The higher your skill, the closer your approximation of the item's value. LORE ==== The lore skill helps you determine the special properties of an item when examined. Thus, a player with a high lore skill that examines a magical dagger will be able to determine the full powers of the item. Once identified, you will always remember the special properties of an item. MAGIC SPELL USE =============== This ability allows you to cast magic; this covers spells that affect the body and mind. Magic is the main school for a wizard. You can belong to any of the three magical guilds if you are a wizard. MAGICAL DEXTERITY ================= The magical dexterity skill is used when a character uses a wand, rod, or staff. The higher this skill, the more likely it is that the item will function properly. MULTIPLE ATTACKS ================ As this skill increases, your character has a higher chance of having a successful attack instantly followed up with another. Thus, if you type A to attack a creature and hit, if your multiple attack skill check is successful, your character would instantly strike the creature again. Note: this works only with hand held weapons and only comes into play when you successfully strike a creature. NATURALISM SPELL USE ==================== This ability allows you to cast naturalist magic, which covers spells that heal the body and mind. Naturalist magic is the main school for a shaman. You can belong to any of the three magical guilds if you are a shaman. PHYSICAL TRAINING ================= This skill represents your body conditioning. The higher this skill is, the more hit points you gain per level and the faster you recover lost hit points when resting. PICK LOCKS ========== The pick locks skill is used when a player attempts to unlock a locked item. The higher the skill, the better the chance of success. PICK POCKETS ============ If you are hidden or invisible, you can use the PICKPOCKET command to attempt to steal gold from a creature. Your chance of success is based on your pick pockets skill. REMOVE TRAPS ============ The remove traps skill determines the chance of a player successfully removing a trap on a trapped item. When a player attempts to unlock a trapped item, the remove traps skill is used to determine whether the trap was avoided. RESILIENCE ========== The resilience skill increases your character's resistance to all forms of physical attack (poisons, cold, heat, etc.) The higher this skill, the less damage you will take from elemental type damage. SORCERY SPELL USE ================= This ability allows you to cast sorcerer magic, which covers spells that attack the body and mind. Sorcery magic is the main school for a sorcerer. You can belong to any of the three magical guilds if you are a sorcerer. SPELL RESISTANCE ================ The spell resistance skill increases your character's resistance to the effects of spells cast by creatures. Thus, a character with a high spell resistance skill will take less damage from spells and have a higher chance of not being affected by a spell. SPIRITUAL KARMA =============== This skill represents your mental and spiritual awareness. The higher this skill is, the more spell points you gain per level and the faster you recover lost spell points when resting. STEALTH ======= The stealth skill is used when a character uses the HIDE command. A hidden character can walk around unnoticed by creatures or players. When a hidden player attacks, the player's chance to hit and damage is increased significantly. Note: when hidden, you cannot interact with shops. Use the UNHIDE command to come out of hiding. Note also, picking up an item when hidden will instantly make you visible. Also note, you cannot hide when there are creatures in your room. STUNNING BLOW ============= This skill represents your training in striking creatures in such a way as to cause them to be stunned or incapacitated. Whenever you strike a creature, your stunning blow chance is compared with the skill of the creature. If you succeed, the creature will be stunned or incapacitated for a while (length of time depending on your skill and that of the creature). Note: this skill only works with hand held or martial arts weapons, not with missile weapons. SWIMMING ======== The swimming skill is checked when you attempt to move into water locations. If your skill is high enough, you are allowed to swim across these locations. If not high enough, you are not allowed to enter those locations (unless you have some other method of traversing the water, like the spell of water breathing, flying, or levitation) TOUGHNESS ========= The toughness skill allows your character to absorb damage received from creatures. A high toughness allows an unarmored character to absorb damage as if they were armored. Note: the toughness skill does not reduce your chances to be hit, just the damage you take when hit. The dodging skill should be learned if you want to decrease your chances of being hit in combat. WARCRAFT ======== This skill represents your character's ability to find a weakness in the creature's defense or armour. The higher this skill, the more damage your character does when landing a blow. This ability applies to hand held AND missile weapons and is automatic whenever successfully striking a creature. WEAPONSMITHING ============== Certain skills allow you to better judge an item's value when you examine it. WEAPONSMITHING helps determine a weapon's value. The higher your skill, the closer your approximation of the item's value. You can use these skills to manufacture items of armour and weapons. You can add magical effects to items by working with a spell caster. 8. MAGIC ======== SPELL USE ========= Spell use allows a character to learn and cast spells. The higher this skill, the more effective a spell is and the lower the chance of spell failure. Note: to learn spells, you must go to a shop selling spells. Use the SHOW SPELLS command to view the spells being taught and use the SCRIBE <spell number> command to actually learn the spell. To cast a spell, use: CAST <spell name or number> TARGET <your name or targets name> Note: you can learn a spell multiple times. The more you learn a spell, the more effective you are with it, the less chance you have of failing in the casting and the longer it lasts or the more damage it does.
