| * When using the mouse to walk, your character will automatically use a pathfinding algorithm to take the nearest route to the mouse pointer's location.
| |
| * Left click to execute default action: walk, pick up an item, attack a monster and talk to NPCs (be sure to click on their '''feet''').
| |
| * Right click to show up a context menu (trade, attack, befriend, ...). Holding [Left Shift] prevents from walking when attacking.

| | When you first run ManaPlus, it will do some tests to auto-detect the best video settings. When this is done, you will be presented with a login screen. To log in to the game: |
| | # Select <samp>The Mana World test server</samp> and click <samp>Connect</samp>. |
| | # Type in your user name and password (case sensitive). Click <samp>Login</samp> or push <kbd>Enter</kbd> or <kbd>Return</kbd> on your keyboard. |
| | #* If you don't have an account, click <samp>Register</samp> instead and fill out the form. |
| | #* If you wish to read any update news, change <samp>Update</samp> from <samp>Auto Close</samp> to <samp>Normal</samp>. |
| | # ManaPlus will check for and download updated game content. When it's finished, if you had set <samp>Update</samp> to <samp>Normal</samp>, click <samp>Play</samp>. |
| | # You may now select a character and click <samp>Play</samp>. To create a character: |
| | ## Click an empty space. |
| | ## Click <samp>Create</samp>. |
| | ## Give the character a name. |
| | ## Use the arrows to customize the hair color, hair style and race. |
| | # Congratulations! You are now in the game! |
|
| |
|
| When you first enter The Mana World on the default server (currently server.themanaworld.org), you will notice the relatively clean interface that has a few buttons. Most are self explanatory, although note that not all windows have a close button. You will have to click on the X button for them to close (supposing you opened them). There is a shortcut key to close the map in the readme. If in doubt, hit F1.
| | The storyline starts with you on a raft, adrift in the sea. It will be told by the [[Narrator]]. To continue with the story click on <samp>Next</samp> until the Narrator is done. At some point the game asks what language you speak. You can choose between English, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Flamish, Polish, Italian, Dutch, Catalan or Esperanto. It is possible to switch between languages later. After chosing you can click <samp>Submit</samp> to submit your answer. The story will continue into a tutorial, helping you with the first steps of the game. For a complete walkthrough through the game see the [[Walkthrough]] page. |
| | |
| You've spawned in [[Candor Island]], a beautiful island for the first time! Congratulations and welcome to the Mana World. Immediately, Sorfina will talk to you. You will then learn how to play and use commands. You will also receive a Cotton Shirt in the dresser that is near you. Open your inventory (F3) and click on the Cotton Shirt, and then click Equip. The Cotton Shirt lets you be half-naked instead of naked. It will also increase your defense. A bit later, you will receive a Knife that will be useful to kill monsters such as Maggots.
| |
| | |
| You gain levels by killing monsters. Killing monsters is what you'll be doing usually, so you'd better get used to it. You can either click on a monster, or target the nearest one by pressing "A" and "Ctrl" to attack. It is a lot easier to beat a monster if you target and press "Shift" and "Ctrl" together. This will make you attack automatically while you don't move. Get started by killing maggots, the little white things that run around in numbers. If your health bar goes red, never fear - there is a lady by the gate called Elanore (south of where you start) who will heal you for free. But note that she won't be able to heal you forever. It's a routing process you will get used to - kill maggots, heal, keep killing maggots.
| |
| | |
| NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) are characters on the server. You can easily recognize them by their grayish blue name. You can click on them to talk to them. Some of them have quests for you to accomplish, others can sell things to you and buy things from you, and some others can heal you. If you walk to the right and down through the gate from where you start out, a NPC named Elanore will heal you for free until you get to Level 10. Note that if you attack by holding down the Ctrl key, you can heal by clicking her at the same time. This should help you speed through those first 20 levels by fighting fire goblins.
| |
|
| |
|
| Once you've killed a monster, it dies and looks dead for a few seconds. It may drop an item. You can stand on top of the item and press "G" or "Z" to get the item. If you want to use it, it is in your inventory. If you can't use nor equip it, it might be a quest item or an useless item. Useless items can be sold to any NPC that buys and sells items, such as [[Neko]]. Although different shops sell with different prices, they all buy from you at the same price. These prices are listed thoroughly on [[Item Reference]]. If you aren't sure if an item is useless or needed for a quest, keep it and ask more experienced players.
| | This page will give you some gameplay hints and tips. |
| | |
| From the beginning, you can directly start to get the basic skills (presented on the [[Skills]] page). These will give you needed skills, skills that you use every day.
| |
| | |
| Press "S" to sit. This makes your automatic recoveries go faster. You can also hold "Alt" and press any of the numbers 1 through 0, as well as the minus symbol to emote.
| |
| | |
| Aside from the desert land you start off with, there are quite a few different areas in The Mana World. You will have a chance to find these areas on your own. There are also many different weapons you can use besides what you start off with. Keep your eyes peeled at any shops you come across (maggots also drop something useful - a dagger, which hits considerably more than the knife you start off with (See the [[Item Reference]] for more details).

| | When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please between the various [[Stats]]. |
| * Essentially, only two routes are beneficial in the long term, and the community refers to them as Warrior (or Melee) and Archer (or Ranged). ''It is not effective to be a magic user until high levels. Level 70 is ideal to start as mage.''
| |
| * Always try to keep the stats in the multiples of 5. You get bonus if your stats are in multiples of 5. For further details on each stat see the [[Stats]] page.
| |
| * You can always experiment your stats and equipment easily in the Test Server. I would advise you to first test your stats in Test Server.

| ===Classes=== | | ===Classes=== |
|
| |
|
| TMW doesn't have any class to choose but most define [[Warrior]], [[Archer]] and [[Mage]] based on their stats and equipment. One can build stats to be [[Archer]], [[Warrior]] and [[Mage]] at the same time with just change of equipment but it will consume more stat points. For starters and other new players, it's recomended to start as [[Warrior]] and then convert to [[Archer]] at level 30 when you completed [[Bandit Quest]]. You can start as [[Mage]] at level 70 after you complete [[Cindy Quest]].
| | The Mana World doesn't have any set classes, instead skill points can be distributed as you like to make up the character you want. The basic "builds" are [[Warrior]], [[Archer]] and [[Mage]]. They are based on their level, statistics, skills and equipment. Beginner characters until around level 10 are a basic warrior class, which is the simplest build, allowing you to get familiar with the game. |

| |
|
| == Tips == | | == Tips == |
| Try to complete the [[quests]] at the level they are designed for. They provide, money, items and often a lot of experience that will help you to progress whether you are interested in it's achievement or not.
| | {{Note|To be added.}} |
|
| |
|
| It becomes fairly difficult to level up after this point, but it is not entirely uncommon to find players with levels in the 80s, and not impossible to get up to 90 and beyond. It does take a lot of time and work. If you are ambitious about becoming one of the highest level players in the game, be prepared to put in many hours, sometimes many hours at once to reach this goal. Here are a few pointers:
| | ===Weapons=== |
| | | {{Note|To be added.}} |
| ===Setzer===
| |
| | |
| Setzer is one of the most used and the best weapon in the game. Although [[Setzer]] does less damage than [[Rock Knife]] and other weapons it has lower attack delay by which you will have greater dps. To get [[Setzer]], you need to be level 60 and see [[Setzer Quest]] for more details. [[Setzer Quest]] also gives good xp.
| |
| | |
| ===The Scythe=== | |
| | |
| The [[Farmer's Scythe]] was one of the most commonly used weapons in the game, and was for a time considered the best. (This was due to a bug which allowed you to do much more damage with it.) It is now easy to obtain and it helps newbies to evolve in the game more easily (+75 Damage). To get this "deadly" weapon, you'll need to go to [[Hurnscald]]. To get there, visit the dock on the southern side of Candor. You will then need to wait for the ferry to get to Hurnscald. Once you arrive in the center of town (near the [[Soul Menhir]]), head north, go slightly north-east and you will meet an NPC who looks like a farmer. He will give you a quest to bring him 10 Pink Antennae.
| |
| It takes time but with determination it can be done quickly. The alternative solution is to ask someone if they will donate Pink Antennae, its not best to buy them from someone since you will need to save up for equipment.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Training locations=== | | ===Training locations=== |
| South Tulimshar mine (archers 10+, higher for warriors)
| | {{Note|To be added.}} |
| | |
| West Tulimshar beaches (levels 30-60)
| |
| | |
| The Snake Pit (Hat Maker's Cave) may prove to be more dangerous, especially if the pit has bedded itself in front of the entrance. Players should approach the pit with caution and go in groups when possible. The spawn rate is incredible, and Snakes give 400 EXP a pop.
| |
| | |
| For archers with high dexterity (80+), training might also be beneficial in the Desert Mountains southeast of the Snake Desert. The Mountain Snakes are more defensive and aggressive, but 500 EXP may climb up those levels fast if the player can score steady hits.
| |
| | |
| [[Terranite Cave]] is a nice place to train with it's spiders, undead and [[Terranite|Terranites]] (60+). Watch out for random killers; It is a PvP area!
| |
| | |
| Higher levels can train in the graveyard. Snow Mountains and their caves also provide large areas for training, both for little and wide groups of players. These are really high level places with nice and hard quests.
| |
| | |
| Mages with high vitality and intelligence can train themselves on a Jack O in the graveyard or on top of the mines, north of Hurnscald.
| |
| | |
| Crypt TBA.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Training technique=== | | ===Training technique=== |
|
| |
|
| Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands as you can do this through the client in ''Setup''. I personally use "A" and "Z" on my computer, which greatly helps my own training endurance. | | Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands as you can do this through the client in <samp>Setup</samp>. Some players use <kbd>A</kbd> and <kbd>Z</kbd> on their computer, which greatly helps with their ergonomic. |
| | | ManaPlus also provides a key <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> to attack and collect loot as well. |
| Another good trick is healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (I prefer Beer... I collect Apples ;p) and make the Inventory window small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click ''Use'' whenever you need a quick heal. This is even better if you have a recent client with the item shortcut bar. I toggle the healing item to use and just heal with one keystroke when needed. Keep in mind that we now heal over time.

| ==The Economy==
| |
| | |
| See the [[Economy]] page.
| |
| | |
| ==Endgame==
| |
| | |
| Once you have gained enough levels and money that the eternal grind begins to bore you, you have multiple options for spending your time:
| |
| | |
| * Finish all the [[Quests]].
| |
| * Practice [[Magic]] and finish all the [[Magic Quests]] if you haven't already.
| |
| * Become an obsessive collector. [[Outfit Wars]] may help you in finding the competitive gatherer within you.
| |
| * Beat the Challenge of [[Candor Battle]]. Multiple times.
| |
| | |
| And, of course, you can become a developer: see below.
| |
| | |
| ==Final thoughts==
| |
| | |
| So you have completed your item collection and levelled as much as you care to. You've finished all of the quests. What else can you do? Well, one of the great things about The Mana World and Open Source software in general is that anyone can help improve it and further it along. There are many ways you can do that even without any "programming" knowledge.
| |
| | |
| The more active players the game has, the more potential programmers will be introduced to the game. And the more potential programmers we have, the faster the development will go. That means new features, items, quests, etc. for everyone. How can you help nurture a large active player base?
| |
| | |
| Well, as you may have noticed before you read this guide, the game has somewhat of a difficult learning curve for new players. Many more experienced players help newbies with quests and items - some even go so far as to create an account devoted solely to that purpose.
| |
| | |
| How do experienced players pass the time while we wait for new content? Simply put, we make our own quests and events, stimulating competition among players and giving out prizes as incentive. This is a great way that we keep other players from getting bored and quitting, and anyone can get involved with it.
| |
| | |
| Most importantly, if you have the time and a little bit of know how, you can influence the development of the game directly by helping to code TMWServ, scripting new items, making pixel art for new tilesets, NPCs, monsters, etc, as well as mapping. Mapping especially is very simple and done in a freely available editor called Tiled, which you can read more about on the [[Map development]] page.
| |
| | |
| Doing all these things is easier when you are not working alone; indeed, bigger projects can be tackled much faster in groups. Although there is no integrated guild system in the client yet, players have started their own "unofficial" guilds (see [[Player Groups]]). They all serve different purposes, but at least one devotes itself to the purpose of furthering the development of the game through the three methods above. Consider joining a guild like this to be a part of a player community that seeks to better the game. You won't be losing your individuality (usually!) in doing so.
| |

| ===The Ship===
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| The Ship is the first place you visit in the world of Evol Online. The captain of the ship is Captain Nard aided by his first mate, Elmo. The destination for this ship is Artis but you find yourself at a stop half way through.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| ====Short Walkthrough====
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| You start on a raft over the side of the boat.
| |
| | |
| People then ask you your language and country.
| |
| | |
| You then find yourself in a bed on the floor below Waterlevel.
| |
| | |
| You listen into Elmo talking to Magic Arpan by clicking on them.
| |
| | |
| You walk outside and Magic Arpan starts talking to you.
| |
| | |
| Once you finish the conversation, go back into the room where you were sleeping and open the box, this will give you clothes.
| |
| | |
| Equip the clothes and like he said go to Julia by walking Up the stairs.
| |
| | |
| Talk to Julia and she will ask your nationality, she will also offer to answer some questions, I recommend you ask the questions.
| |
| | |
| Then go right into the captains cabin, they are talking about who you are.
| |
| | |
| Talk to captain Nard.
| |
| | |
| Then you will want to go back downstairs and go into the room opposite the room you slept in, on the table there is a knife, click on it to be given it, It will help a lot.
| |
| | |
| You will then want to kill Piou to get to level 5.
| |
| | |
| Once you are level 5 go to the right again and talk to Peter who will give you a quest worth 500gp,
| |
| | |
| Go downstairs and kill all the Ratto's
| |
| | |
| Once complete walk upstairs and claim your reward, you have successfully completed the Ship.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| ====Mobs====
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| Ratto's can be found on the bottom floor in small quantities, they give you 3 XP and 1 Job XP (3x the XP of Piou's).
| |
| | |
| Piou's can be found on the middle floor in medium quantities, they are good leveling material for levels 1-5.
| |

| ===Story===
| |
| | |
| Life appeared on a vast world, unknown to all. As time passed, this world, now called Aemil, was then inhabited by several clans where everyone was equal. This realm didn’t know any horror such as war, rebellion nor the idea of hate. Aemil was divided in several continents by Oceania, a large ocean. On Ealia, a great continent surrounded by water, lived people along with nature. The peace kept living as the earth had enough resources for everyone.
| |
| | |
| Unfortunatly, drought slowly came with the summers while winters started to be colder than ever. Therefore, people weren’t able to help each other anymore. So many died. With death, drought and starvation came other problems which forced clan leaders to create new rules in their society in order to maintain peace. Everyone had their own task to achieve. This went on for several years and worked fairly well. However, resources started to miss and lands weren’t fertile anymore. Food became rare, people started stealing from each other to survive.
| |
| | |
| As time passed, Ealia changed. New technologies were invented to improve agriculture and hunting for example. People grew stronger and were efficient. Slaves then arrived and agriculture became their task. The brilliant minds continued improving and creating but people forgot how much the earth suffered. Living in their cities, people did not notice nor care about the hard working people. Instead, they kept providing rich people with everything they asked for. Needs grew without any end in cities, everyone wanted more and more. They fought between themselves to take control of the few fertile lands. Groups joined together and as a result were born two great opponents. Wars broke out between them and the idea of power grew in their minds.
| |
| | |
| Many died in combat while the lands continued to suffer until the leader of a group saw how awful it became. After several meetings between the two leaders, it took many months to finally agree to suspend war. Nevertheless, battles continued to happen as the lust of power made their hate grow.
| |
| | |
| In order to end this once and for all, the two opponents chose to unite themselves into a single alliance. This was decided unanimously, including by the leaders of both sides. The goal was to restore the world as it was before, where everyone was equally born and where no harm could be done between themselves. Leaving their mess behind, they left to find another place where to live. They travelled throughout the whole continent, but they were never satisfied enough and the search continued. The harsh environments of the mountains and the deserts killed hundreds of their explorers. The rest barely had the strength to breathe.
| |
| | |
| As they saw death coming quickly, they ordered to split into three groups when they will reach the coast to Oceania. Each of these groups would sail in different directions. As they reached the east coast of Ealia, a ship took off to the north, another one to the south and the last one followed the rising sun. Their only hope was that one of their ship would be able to find a new land where to live.
| |
| | |
| From which started an air of exploration. The ship which followed the sun was the only one who found suitable grounds. Nobody knew what happened to the other ships. Did they all die, drowning in the deep sea or did they find another land where to live? The mystery kept living and myths began to rise.
| |
|
| |
|
| As they arrived to the new land, people met suspiciously aggressive creatures. No matter how fierce they were, they knew this land was the one they were looking for. Anyway, they had no other choice than to settle here. Deep in themselves, they knew they would need to fight to stay on this wild land. They hold on even though they continued to be harassed by the evil creatures.
| | Another good trick is healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (such things as Beer, Milk, Apples, or other edibles) and make the <samp>Inventory</samp> small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click <samp>Use</samp> whenever you need a quick heal. |
|
| |
|
| The era of renaissance was born. Once they repelled the vicious animals, they started exploring around themselves. They finally built a new city, called Esperia, symbol of hope. Over time, it became the capital city of the new continent, Andorra. This new area was in fact a large group of islands but they were only living on a single one, named Aurora because of the magnificent sun rise of every day.
| | Ideally, you should use the <samp>Shortcut Bar</samp> <kbd>F8</kbd> instead, this will allow you to assign a few items, skills, and even text to be said with a simple keypress. |
|
| |
|
| You were born to keep alive the dream that many died to accomplish. It is your destiny to explore the world of Aemil and find new lands. You are the grandchild of one of the bravest settlers of Andorra.
| | Remember that healing happens over time: Drinking healing items at the last moment may be too late! By default, healing item effects should '''not''' stack. |

Training technique
Your wrist is going to get worn out in those long training sessions. Try mapping your keyboard so that your attack and target keys are more ergonomic to your hands as you can do this through the client in Setup. Some players use A and Z on their computer, which greatly helps with their ergonomic.
ManaPlus also provides a key Ctrl to attack and collect loot as well.
Another good trick is healing on demand. Stock up on your healing item of choice (such things as Beer, Milk, Apples, or other edibles) and make the Inventory small enough that it doesn't block much of your area of vision. Now keep that item selected, and you can simply click Use whenever you need a quick heal.
Ideally, you should use the Shortcut Bar F8 instead, this will allow you to assign a few items, skills, and even text to be said with a simple keypress.
Remember that healing happens over time: Drinking healing items at the last moment may be too late! By default, healing item effects should not stack.
