FAQ

Q: I am new and lost. Where do I start?
A: First, read 'help newhelp' and type 'read guide' to study your tourist guide. Then look at the room you are currently in. A newly created character will always start in Outside the Aylorian Academy(G) in the area of the Academy. Going north from that room will take you into our highly-regarded mud school, just look for the recruiter. If you have moved away from that room, type 'recall' and go up. Look at the room descriptions and signs carefully and follow instructions to learn how to train, combat and use shops.

Q: I'm in the Academy and I don't know what to do to continue...?
A: Help Academy has a list of helpful commands, but normally restart or replay will kick the mob back into action.

Q: Where can I get a newbie bag or a starter kit?
A: To load basic equipment, type 'outfit'. This command only works for characters of level five and below. To get a clan sponsored newbie bag that contains a full set of equipment, type 'who crusader active' or 'who cabal active', and send one of them a tell.

Q: How do I find equipment to wear?
A: You can either get equipment by killing mobs or buying them from shops. To locate a piece of equipment that's best suitable for your build, check out the equipment search engine on Iwuvaard.org.

Q: Where do I train and practice after mud school?
A: At your class guild. You are automatically a member of the guild for your primary class. Type 'read page1' to see page 1 of your tourist guide for directions to your guild.

Q: Where do I go to kill mobs after mud school?
A: The Mobdeaths command is your best friend. See 'help mobdeaths'.

Q: Where do I sell stuff?
A: Read page 2 of your tourist guide for directions to general stores in Aylor. Shopkeepers will buy the same kind of merchandize that they sell. To find a shopkeeper who will buy a wider variety of goods, try clan shops. For more information, see 'help sell'.

Q: Can someone give me a spellup?
A: No. Everyone on the newbie channel is either a newbie or a helper. Newbies don't have powerful spells to provide you, and helpers are not allowed to. Please ask on barter or gossip for one.

Q: Where do I find speedwalks and maps?
A: See 'help www' for a list of websites where you can find Aardwolf related resources.

Q: What stats should I train?
A: Read 'help <class name>' to see what your primary and secondary stats are. As a newbie, you should always maximize your primary and secondary stats, and use the remaining training sessions to balance out all the other stats. Do not train hp, mana or moves.

Q: Can I get a corpse retrieval?
A: Certainly and always. :)

Q: How do I retrieve my stuff from my corpse?
A: Type 'get all corpse' when you are at your corpse.

Q: Where do I get food and drink?
A: See page2 of your tourist guide for directions to the bakery where you can buy food. There's a fountain south from recall where you can get water. You can also try fountains at clan halls. They usually contain milk or some sort juice, which is much better than plain water, since they satisfy hunger and thirst at the same time.

Q: I die a lot. What should I do?
A: See 'help flee', 'help wimpy', and 'help consider'.

Q: What's the fastest way to regen?
A: Sleep at a healer on a piece of furniture. A good place would be the Bard's clan hall: go west, then north from recall. Type 'sleep bench' for a quick recovery + you get some basic spells for free as well.

Q: Where do you get a garbage can and what does it do?
A: A garbage can is a portal to Aylor, which is the recall point for not clanned players. It's better than using the Recall command, because portals don't cost you movement points. You can get a garbage can from the Garbage mob in Lowlands Paradise, which has a maximum level lock of 10. If you are above level 10, you can ask to buy one on the barter channel. If you complete the Academy, you will receive your very own, very special level 1 Aylorian Portal which brings you back to the Academy (recall is just 1d from where the portal lands) any time you wish.

Q: How do you use a portal, like a garbage can?
A: See 'help enter'.

Q: My screen is so spammy. How do I stop that?
A: See 'help spamreduce'.
