Q: I have completed the academy, is there any way to review 
information from it?

A: Yes, you can return to read the blackboards again, or read the help 
files. 'Help academy-index'
 
 
Q: Help! I cannot find the mob for my quest :(
A: Try checking a map, Aard's wiki page lists links to the various clan 
websites, so do check it out :) 
http://www.aardwolf.com/wiki/index.php/Area/Area -

Quests will list the area name and the room name, so once you load the 
map for the area, simply look for the right room.

Q: Help! I cannot find the mob for my campaign :(
A: Try using the command 'where' on the mob, once in the area. This will 
show you the room name of the mob, and follow the same steps as 
quests :)

Q: My CP mob does not show up on where! Does that mean I have to 
search every single room?

A: Not necessarily. Ensure you have 'detect invis' and 'detect hidden', 
as you might not be able to see the mob. Also, the mob might be 
dead, so try again right after a repop. It might be 'no-where' 
though, which means it will not show up on 'where', in which case 
you would have to try guess where it could be.
 
Q: I killed my CP mob, but it does not register?
A: There may be multiple mobs with the same name - Help vnum. Try using 
the hunt trick to find the right one - Help hunt trick.
 
Q: I can't drop an item! What do I do?
A: It is probably cursed - Heal curse at any healer (There is a weak one 
north of recall, explore for stronger ones :) ) Or did you forget 
that you set the item to 'keep'?
 
Q: What level should I buy Aard equipment?
A: For worn equipment, it is often advised to buy them at level 1. This 
is because you would then be able to keep them after remorting. 

For weapons, buy them at even levels, multiples of 10. This is because 
they have a higher value that way, as their variable hr/dr component 
comes every 10 levels.

If you do not have much qp to spare, consider saving until level 80, as 
the damage increases significantly then, and subsequent intervals 
of 40. (Intervals of 20/10 for richer people ;) )
 
Q: I'm stuck in quicksand!
A: Help quicksand on ways to remedy that :)

: I finished the Academy, got my reward and accidentally lost it :(
A: First, write a note on personal to imm, as it's possible someone else
has picked it up.  If it turns out your pin has been lost for good, you
can purchase a new one for 5TP from an immortal.  Please note that owning
two pins is illegal and such an action would result in confiscation of
both.
