First of all, please note that completion of ANY goal is NOT necessary to
advance in Aardwolf. Many goals have rewards that are not worth the
headache involved in completing them. Just like how in real life some people
enjoy completing crossword puzzles and others do not, in Aardwolf some
players enjoy completing goals and others do not.
* Mobs that begin a goal can often be spotted on the ASCII mini map
since they will show as a green ! instead of the normal yellow !.
* In the Academy goal it is common to use 'tell <message>' when
communicating with the mobs. Outside of the Academy goal, mobs more
commonly respond to 'say <message>'.
* If the mob doesn't automatically start talking when you enter the room
(try to not use skills or spells like invis and hide when working on goals,
they may stop mob programs from running), then try 'listen <mobname>'.
* Once you've opened the goal, type 'tasks here' to see your current
task. Remember to have the spells 'detect hidden' and 'detect invisible'
active when working on goal steps. Ways to complete a goal step include:
-killing a mob
-giving some gold to a mob
-saying something particular in the room the mob is standing in. Sometimes
this needs to be a very EXACT phrase, so be sure to carefully look at
'tasks here' to make sure you're saying exactly what you are SUPPOSED to
say. When in doubt, try using LESS words.
-using a social on the mob ('*handshake <mobname>' to shake a mob's hand,
for instance)
-giving a specific object to the mob ('give <object> <mob>')
-listening to the mob ('listen <mobname>')
If you're having a tough time with a goal step, you can try asking on a
channel for help. Note that many players who have done a goal have
probably done it so long ago that by now they've forgotten the steps
involved in solving it.
