Q: Where is the X guild located?
Q: Where is the auction/reception/item storage located?
A: Please look at the map of Karandras
Q: Where can I buy a water container/food/etc?
A: All shops in Karandras is shown on this map together with a brief description
of what they are selling. I sugguest you take a look at the map.
Q: I'm lost, how do I get home?
A: You can "recall", this will take you home to Karandras (or whatever city you've chosen as hometown)
There are several ways to recall, one of them is to use the always available "recall" command. Altho
this has the drawback of draining movement. Some classes gets a spell called "word of recall" or
"teleport without error" that will do the same thing but it only costs a small portion of mana so it
might be the prefered method if you've got it available. There's also recall scrolls and potions, the
scrolls can be bought in Karandras while recall potions (I.e. Silver potions)
often can be bought in Player shops.

Q: What does saving throws do?
A: They decide if you will be "hit" by a spell or not, sort of like ac
against magic. The higher level you are, the lower your saving throws will
be, the lower the better. They are shown in the Following order in "stats":

or a Paralyzation/Petrification spell, then you will resist it totaly.
Q: How do I know what an item does?
A: By identing it you will be shown the stats of the object.

you can deposit it in the item-storage and use "ident" just like in a shop, or if you're a mage,
use the ident spell.

Q: What is the well?
A: A huge area, randomly generated on each boot. This is where you get soul crystals and gather
fragments of elemental essence. The well is divided into 20 levels, and each level is harder then
the one above. The elemental essence can be found on different depths, earth essance on level 1-20,
water 6-20, air 11-20 and fire on 16-20. Most mobs in the well has alot of cash and is worth killing
just for the exp. Altho this is not for everyone to try, you probably need to be level 51 or better
and have a top-notch set of eq. Safe to say, the well is an awesome zone.
Also, the entrance to the well doesn't have a fixed position but moves every 6th hour (to any room of
the mud, excluding DT's). The entrance looks like this:
A large Well adorns the ground here. You'd swear it's not normally here.
Q: What does a Compass do?
A: A compass always points towards the well entrace. Since the well is moved every 6th hour you will
probably need a compass to pinpoint its location. Just "look compass" to see in what direction the well-entrance
is located. There is more to say about the compasses, but I leave that to the reader to discover.
Q: Who is Gond?
A: A mob found in the well. He spawns on level 6 but might walk down to lower levels. He's the one
who can transform you to a K'ta'viir or let you trade full soul crystalls for an increasement of a stat.
Q: What does a soul crystal do?
A: A soul crystal allows you to collect fragments of elemental essence, but for it to work you need
to fuse it to your soul. This is done by giving the crystal to Gond, he will then fuse you.
Q: What is K'ta'viir?
A: When having collected a whole Soul Crystal full of essance you can go to Gond and "transform" into
this special and superior race. (help ktv)
Q: What is this orb I cannot pick up?
Q: How come other players can be surrounded by auras?
A: An orb is just an uninvoked aura, and auras is only usuable by KTV's, thus you cannot even pick up
one of these orbs from the ground. Auras can only be invoked by KTV's and is unremovable, every
aura has its own specialty, so I wont explain them all here. Most orbs is found in the well, but some
"simpler" ones can be bought in Milo'Rai.
Q: What is Milo'Rai?
A: A town that only KTV persons can enter. This is done by finding a guide that wanders around
in the desert, if you ask him "home" then he will transport you to Milo'Rai. In there you can
find some special shops, some sells auras, some sells special ktv-only eq.
There's also a fountain filled with well-water.
Q: Is there diffrent kinds of quests?
A: Yes. There are two kinds of quests:
1: The autoquests, those can be joined at a QM. Note, each QM has his/her own
unique collection of quests, so finding the right QM is essential. QM's can be found
a litte here and there, and its up to you to locate them.
Common rewards in autoquests is reputation, gold and/or exp.
2: God quests, these are manually held by the gods and the reward here (most of the time) is QP.
Somewhat unusual and uncommon, since most gods tend to be too busy to lead quests. Too bad. :(
Q: Who's this Halvdan?
A: He's a shopkeeper that wanders around the realm, selling special quest-eq and also a special
race called "Divine".
Q: What is a playershop?
A: A shop owned and run by a player, the owner puts items in for sale at whatever cost he/she wants.
