Talk:Game FAQ

How do I restore my Health Points?
Tell me! NOW! -Koryr 18:41, 29 June 2006 (PDT)
 * Search Healing areas (clinics, healeries) which are pink buildings. Go inside and search and you'll find bandages. You can alternately buy bandages or food. Bandages from General stores and food from produce stands and Grills/Cafés. Once you have such an item (food or bandages) simply click it in your inventory to restore some HP. Alternately you can be healed by other players or heal yourself once you have the skill for an MP cost. -- 19:04, 29 June 2006 (PDT)
 * Cool, should we put this in the FAQ? -Koryr 05:11, 30 June 2006 (PDT)
 * Sounds right to me. Want to do the honors? Feel free to remove my sig or reword it if you do. -- 19:18, 9 July 2006 (PDT)

What is Karma, and how do I raise or lower it?
Sorry, but another question. -Koryr 13:44, 3 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Karma represents the nature of your character. Good, evil, etc. You can raise it by doing good things, or lower it by doing bad things. If you kill someone with good Karma, yours will lower. If you kill someone with bad Karma, yours will rise. For some reason Zombifying gives good Karma at the moment. :) -- 18:04, 3 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Doesn't it just set your karma to 41 (nice) if you're over that?--WarrenZ 14:54, 9 July 2006 (PDT)

Attacking the Unconcious
How comes I can't attack unconcious people but I always get killed after I log out (I'm assuming that's when I'm unconcious). Is this a bug or am I just not logging out properly?
 * When you log out your character still exists in the realm of DragonSpires as he or she did when you left. Folks who are unconscious are folks who have died and been resurrected by someone elese or have resurrected themselves using the "Life after death" skill. It's best to hide when you log off (either with the Hiding skill, or if you don't have that, find a far off inconspicuous building.) Some time soon players will be able to cast protection spells on buildings that will enable people to try and form safehouses. -- 17:37, 8 July 2006 (PDT)

Zombifying
I recently purchased the zombifying skill but the choice to use it only lets me scroll through the living people on the same square as me. If i stand with a corpse I can't even attempt to zombify them. Why is this?
 * Hi there! You can zombify corpses if the person's ghost is on the same tile as well. Basically you're stuffing the person's soul back into their body. If there's no ghost (or no corpse, only the ghost) then it won't work. :( Also, feel free to use this code: -- to sign your posts so we can know who you are. :) Thanks for playing! --  19:17, 9 July 2006 (PDT)

Ok, but even if I've just killed someone and they were the only person other than me on the tile, the zombify option still disappears, despite their ghost being there.

It doesn't work. This is proof.



--Gold Blade 17:37, 3 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Well that's REALLY strange! I'll send this page to Darryl and see what he thinks. If you refresh, is the option still not there? -- &spades; Mo mod 21:39, 3 September 2006 (PDT)
 * I had this problem, I think you need to buy the ability to see ghosts, or something along those lines.-- 23:07, 3 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Yeah, you need Dead Sight to get Zombify to work -- akhrin AofF 02:27, 4 September 2006 (PDT)

Right or Wrong Fast EXP?
Can you kill a friend kill you than have the friend kill you for fast exp?--LordTunnel 13:25, 1 August 2006 (PDT)
 * Mo has agreed that it is allowed, as long as you don't use multiple accounts to do it.-- 13:09, 1 August 2006 (PDT)
 * That is somewhat cheap, but I don't argue with Mo.--LordTunnel 13:25, 1 August 2006 (PDT)

I was wondering if something about getting money should be added to the section for newbies. Like:

How Do I Get Money?
While monsters (beyond fish and snakes) do drop coins, as a new player you'll find it much easier to search for quartz in (not beside!) pits or for shellfish in water. Sell the quartz pieces to a gem shop and clams and mussels to seafood stores.

I hesitate to modify the faq myself because of its importance (it must be the first thing most new players read on the wiki when they join the game). Random Letters 12:48, 26 August 2006 (PDT)
 * added.-- 02:45, 29 August 2006 (PDT)

IRC?
Is there an IRC channel for ScrollWars? If not, will there be one? Please? -- akhrin AofF 06:16, 3 September 2006 (PDT)


 * What's an IRC channel? -- Akikotai Fishy Clan 06:18, 3 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Internet Relay Chat, uses clients like mIRC, Chatzilla, X-Chat, etc. It's basically a chatroom. -- akhrin AofF 07:46, 3 September 2006 (PDT)
 * Well, there is the Telepath Crystal...I suppose that could be counted.

Some Questions
These are some questions I've been asked/thought would've been nice to know back when I was new. Unfortunately, I don't really have time to think of some nice, thoughtful answers to them.

What are coordinates, and how do I use them?
Coordinates show where you are on the map. You can find them at the URL or at the bottom left of the screen. They can help you pinpoint map locations for easier travel. RedUp 09:02, 21 November 2007 (MST)

Why are some players unconscious?
These players are unconscious because they have been zombified and eventually toggled out. No one can attack or loot them. RedUp 09:03, 21 November 2007 (MST)

What are guilds and how can I join one?
A guild is a group of players. You can join one by either asking if you can join or you can go to the guild page and simply click "join". RedUp 09:04, 21 November 2007 (MST)

How do I gain experience?
Experience (XP) is easily gained by hitting monsters or other players. They can also be gained through casting spells and other feats. RedUp 09:05, 21 November 2007 (MST)

What are barriers?
Barriers are a magic shield that is casted on a building. You need to buy a barrier manual from a magic shop to be able to get the spell. They come in the form of spells and have a wide variety of effects. For example, a building with Barrier of Trust casted on it is only accessible to the Guild that runs the barrier and it's allies. Beware, barriers require a lot of MP and time to keep running. Newbies to the game should not worry about building up/smashing down barriers. --RedUp 13:21, 14 January 2008 (MST)

Also, I think some of the questions could be updated because of the update with barriers.

my bp wont restore
my bp wont refresh and i dont know why. its been over 35 hours now, and ive moved, stayed logged in for over an hour, and logged out. is this a glitch or something because everybody i know says theres restores normally?


 * This is most likely because the automatic system picked you up as a zerger or breaking an in game rule. You would have to post about it on Overlord Forums to see how long it'll stay like that though. I wish you good luck~ --RedUp 13:19, 14 December 2007 (MST)

mp and bp refresh
I came across a newb asking how mp refreshes. of course he was told to go kill mandrakes in mern to get his mp back (thank u BoZ), sooo i looked on here to see if we had a section on that. i dont see one. i think we should add one, what do u guys think? StageMonkey 11:21, 14 January 2008 (MST)


 * Go for it! You can just copy-paste part of the MP and HP pages.


 * Unless there is something I don't know about Mandrakes, it sounds like an attempt to get more Mandrake roots by Mister Zeus. That's just me though. --RedUp 13:14, 14 January 2008 (MST)

Newbs can't use Telepath
You should totally add to the FAQ that you can't broadcast when new. How many levels you need to gain to use it an so forth. I had an anciently epic idea of creating a 'Fat Chick' and having her wear a party hat. I couldn't broadcast my success, as I gave my only crystal to the new character and am currently broke. :( So yeah, I figure there's probably some authentic level 1s that have joined, gotten a crystal from the guild, and don't know why they can't talk. Or give items, for that matter. Yeah yeah, anti-whatever measures, but it still would have helped to know before I did this. :P -- Leo Krupps 03:58, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
