This page will give you some gameplay hints and tips.

Raising your Stats

When you gain a level in The Mana World, you are awarded points that you can distribute as you please between the various Stats.

Classes

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.

• Warrior uses melee weapon or sword to fight. For more details visit Warrior.

• Archer uses a bow to fight. For more details visit Archer.

• Mage uses magic to fight and heal. For more details visit Mage.

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.

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 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.
