| "Don't be afraid of dying and loosing your eq, money and other
nice items - dying is mistake, but you learn from mistakes. And
also, you die mostly when explore some unknown area - don't be
afraid of that. Ask for help from rangers and istar and from people
who are not in Pk..." |

| "Leave SWIM and CLIMB turned off unless you specifically need to
use the skill. Accidentally swimming into a river when you are low
on Hit Points or Moves can be a Really Bad Thing. Keeping climb
turned off prevents you from unwittingly taking on inclines that you
lack the skills to scale (including some DeathTraps)--this is
particularly useful advice to Trolls for obvious reasons. Not only
does this keep you out of trouble, but it also makes you more aware
of the terrain, which you can use to your advantage in PK. Along the
same lines, if you must spam around in an unfamiliar zone, Riding
will keep you out of DeathTraps." |

Some instructions for Mume aliases:
First you set up targetting aliases like this:
>alias qblind alias q cast 'blind'
Then while you are playing, a cleric for example, you use
the previous target aliases together with MUME's parameter
variable &.
>qblind &.orc
Which has the same result as "alias q cast 'blind' &.orc",
but is much faster to type. Then when you want to blind 3.orc,
for example:
>q 3
This results in "cast 'blind' 3.orc".

| Character Stats |
|
| " Mage: Int/Wis/Per should be
pretty high (especially Int and Wis), Per is important for
spelldamage and TRACK depends on Per/Int also. Wil should be ok high
too, Wil's spellsave etc.
Clerics: Wis and Wil should be high, Int's important
too. But Per is NOT important at all for clerics, if you don't want
powertrack (casters usually get high % in track anyway when maxed
due to the high INT they usually got). Dex/Con/Str on casters are
usually pretty low since you put many of your stat-points on your
mentals. But it feels like Dex is more important now when they've
changed the new flee, and Con is for HPS." |
Submitted by Ling |
| "Thieves: Dex and Per are most important for a thief,
they affect sneak, backstab, dodge etc. To get ok pick, envenom,
search or track you should get some Int too. And Wil of course, for
spellsave... Nowadays backstab doesn't depend on Str anymore, so a
bit lower Str and higher Con is good (since Con gives mps+hps, if
you prac some warriorskills like endurance too, with abit higher
Con)." |
Submitted by Ling |
| "Warriors: Well, 2 kinds of warriors, defencewarrior or a warrior
that does alot of damage. If you want a defence warrior, you
should get high Dex and Per, enough str to wield a slasher (many defence
warriors are slashers only, but they barely do any damage,
they are just good for buffing, not killing :-) ) So to get
concussion+slash so you do some damage too is a good idea... If
you're gonna make a warrior that does some damage, max Str and Con,
Wil's important for all warriors, and especially for Smiters/
Cleavers and for the ENDURANCE that is very important. Put
some pracs in Per too if you want a ok track, some warriors are
hardcorewarriors and don't get track even" |
Submitted by Ling |
| "When making a caster of any kind always keep your mentals
high, wil doesn't always have to be THAT high. And per is
enough with 12-14 - this will leave you beeing able to reroll
between cleric and mage. That's of course just how I presonally like
it." |

Str:
think about what weapon you want to use on your char find out what
str is neede for it and choose str after that. Warriors need
high Str.
Int:
As
a non caster Int is used for track/envenom/cure light/pick. For a caster
Int is primary for mage offensive spells and max mana.
Wis: As
non caster wis gives you better ability to mix herblores. As caster
wis is primary for cleric spells, gives more max mana. For casters
see Int but switch Mage/cleric.
Dex:
Gives a
base defence and is primary for thief skills. High dex also gives a higher flee
success rate. Non thieves should not max dex, but raise it a
bit. Dex also gives more moves. |

Filibert |
Con: Gives you hp/moves. High con =
high move/hp regen. High con is good on all chars, if you don't have
to bob your caster often you'll have more mana for offensive spells.
Wil: Spell save and mana regen,
important for all chars. But some like to put points into other
skills and risk getting toasted by a few spells.
Per: Track is the key here, if you
want track you need per. If you are a newbie or like to play as a
hitter in a group per is nothing for you. Per gives a higher chance
to succesfully cast on a target. Very importand for thiefs. |

| Groups and Grouping |
|
| "Since at these days soloing some classes
is a bit harsh, I'd suggest group combos as warrior/cleric,
defensewarrior/ offensewarrior or warrior/mage, where one buffs and
another nukes;this goes for exping and pk, since when you are new to
pk, you really hardly kill anyone solo. Also, exp comes faster this
way. Don't exp (unless smobs) in groups 5+ nor pk - xp is bad and
noone will want to fight you." |

Gilenhel |
| "When grouping, make sure you know the
leader know what he is doing and know that you are fragile.. A
leader who only need a parry split and not thinking of his
groupmembers safety is not to be trusted. If you're not a troll and
grouping with trolls, be careful and do not follow your troll leader
into Grinder... It hurts ;-)" |

| Mapping |
|
"How to learn them bloody areas! Some areas
are harder than others to learn, Ie OiE, Moria, Sewers etc are
harder to map than Eregion or abr. But the easiest way is to level
up a thief to decent high level (around lv20) and get good
sneak/hide and high con for moveregen/high hps. Then u get some
paper and a pen and start writing down everything hard u notice in
the area you are mapping. The hardest place to map is prob. Moria
since it's huge. If you have plans on mapping moria I suggest as an
orcshaman or an orcthief since they can see in dark in that way you
can see exits. After you have mapped an area run there once in a
while not to forget it, after sometime you will know it for a
lifetime!"

| Fast levels between 16 to 25. Doent matter what kind of a caster
you are, mage or cleric you may always reprac. All you need is max
charm, max blind, some missile skill and maybe a little command
also. The best charmie for that as much as i have tested is Mother
eagle. They are usually with eaglets and has
decent willpower so might be hard to charm. Once u have a
perfect charmie order her to hit targets, blind mobs and shoot them
dead. With such tactics i quarantee you 300k or more quality
soloexp, that should take you to level 25 pretty fast. |

lose all your levels. If that area is fleeable, cha mood berserk and

trees at 2 AM becuase you dont know how/if you can get back to

foolproof. Pukes can wack you at grinder if they got enough balls to
