Rella101 525 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2017 Welcome to Lord of the Craft! READ THIS FIRST! DO NOT REMOVE YOUR NEW TAG! THIS TAG IS USED TO SHOW OLDER PLAYERS THAT YOU ARE NEW! DON’T GET FOOLED INTO IT! IF YOU’RE NOT READY, DON’T DO /NOTNEW Hello! Most of you are brand new here so I’m going to help you all get started.

They did a great job and this will give you the basics. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/153151-a-mega-guide-for-new-players-from-a-new-player/ How to emote? You're on the server, and a man walks up to you. What do you do? Emote type one(Your persona’s name would be here)*smiles to the man.This works as a default, the * is only needed in the front. Emote type two(Your persona’s name would be here)“Good day sir” he/she smiles to the man.This starts you off talking and then puts you in an emote. Emote type three(Your persona’s name would be here)*smiles to the man, “Good day sir.” he/she would respond with a cheerful smile.This can be on and off but all you need is one *. Ooc chat! Help chat! Ws chat! Oh my! There are many chats you can join. Ooc Chat!Ooc chat is accessed by /ooc and left with /leave ooc. What use is ooc? This allows you to communicate with other players in this chat. There is no designated purpose to it. Help Chat!Help chat is accessed by /join H and left with /leave h. This chat is for those that are uncertain of something, or just need help. This is not a chat to just talk in like ooc. Many At and Gm’s patrol this chat, and answer the moment you need help! Please remember this chat is here, and we’re here to help you! Wandering Soul Chat!-Ws chat is accessed by /join ws and left by /leave ws. This chat is for those who haven’t been accepted yet!

I’m hungry, and my bread is gone… -Fear not, if you have eaten your starter bread you can access /bread once a day to give you 24 bread! Use this wisely as this can only be done once a day. Nexus! Oh dear!

At 250 hours you get your third profession! Help! I’ve fallen in a hole and I can’t get out! You’re stuck? There are a few ways to fix this. Let us first go over Soulstones! Soultones? What are these?-A soulstone is a small rock you carry. This allows you to travel to a set destination in seconds. This cannot be used to escape PvP or RP. How do I use my Soulstone?-To bind it to a slot you simply type /ss bind # while looking at a red or green soulstone pillar. These are three blocks of redstone, or emeralds stacked ontop of eachother. Sometimes 4 but the fourth isn't needed. -To check how many ss slots you have hold shift and click to rotate the ss options with it in your hand!-Now to release a slot simply type /ss release.-You unlock more slots the longer you play!-Oh, you want to stop a player from using their ss? Simply type /ss block with the stone in your hand to do this, but lookout, it takes several hearts away from you! (I’ve been downed from doing this when I was too low health) Modreqs, whats this? Well if you’re stuck, you can always read this guide on modreqs! https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/142164-how-to-properly-modreq/ But I have so many items, I want too sell! You're in luck, after 50 hours you are able to sell items using this guide! https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/101706-shop-guide-screenshot-heavy/ I don’t know how to lock my door! Alright new players, let's explain LWC to you! How to lock! /cprivate -To lock type this, /cprivate, or to add members type /cprivate username. To make an admin who can add and remove members use /cprivate @username and then hit the object. /cpassword-To lock simply type /cpassword password. Like /cpassword ilikekittens and hit the objects you’re protecting. /cunlock-Oh a door has a password, if you know it type /cunlock password. This will remain unlocked to you as long as you're logged in. Be careful giving out passwords. /cremove-This removes locks you made; type /cremove and hit the door, chest, gate, or whatever you locked. To remove members; type /cremove username. I need a home!!! Of course, you’re homeless, so let's get started on how to fix this! -First of all, find your racial spawn, either use /ss home, or go follow the signs to your nation's boat. -If you get lost ask someone to help you find it in /help chat. Or if you’re lucky you will have been greeted by an AT and they will help you find what you are looking for. -Once you get to the town of your choosing, ask around for a steward. Someone should direct you to what you are looking for. They will also help you find a job! I have money! What do I do with it? -Find your nearest banker and deposit your money. When you need a set amount you want to withdraw it. If you die you lose a percentage of what you carry. What’s this cart? Glad you asked, step inside and it will take you someplace. Read the bottom to see how much it costs. The bar at the top will tell you how long it will take. The closer to being full, the farther you’ve gone! These you can’t use to escape combat. Ships take longer, so be patient! Near most travels are banks, of it costs more than you have to transport, there is the walking option! Magic - With Fury! Red Line! Magic is one of the more complex parts of lotc. Involves a lot of in game knowledge Now we’ll be going over how to learn magic - The correct way! Before beginning any search for magic one would be wise to read this (somewhat outdated, yet still relevant) thread by BNK a while ago. It explains the basis of a great many magic types. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/136473-community-collaboration-tldr-magic-guide-for-non-magic-users/ Before going over what you should do in order to learn magic, we’ll be going over what you should not do: For starters, do not message anyone over the server with anything along the lines of asking if they know/teach magic, nor asking to learn. The reasoning for this is rather simple. Magic takes upwards of six real life months in order to master fully, and four months of learning before one is capable of teaching their respective subtype. Imagine yourself as a mastered user of fire evocation who spent over half a year learning about your magic, and learned through a great deal of hard work. It simply doesn't make sense to take on a random student who PM’s you for magic, seeing as you can only take on five students at a time; this will take up one of those slots for months. Second, do not go into it blindly. Know what you want to learn! We’ll be going over the different types of magic now. Archetypes Voidal Magic - The most widely spread magic on LOTC, with a great many subtypes to chose from. There are Evocation, Alteration, and Mental/Illusion. Then there are Voidal Feats, which are the only magics which do not take a slot. Voidal magics are the easiest to find suitable teachers for due to the amount that know it, and each magic greatly differs in functionality. Deity Magic - A lot smaller in terms of users. Deity Mages usually have the express purpose of either killing dark creatures or mages, and protecting the Descendants. There are Druids, who protect nature. Clerics exist to both combat dark creatures and heal those who are injured. Ascended exist to protect the souls of the Descendants and cleanse anything with a tainted soul. Paladin’s in nature are dragon hunters, yet for the most part kill anything dark. Dark Magic - The most uncommon magic to find, with very few users of it known to the public in roleplay. Users of these numerous magics are shunned from society and often hunted down to be slain. Conclusion Once you have decided on a magic, then you would proceed to begin your ‘search’. Teachers usually dislike those who actively seek their magic, so it’s best not to make your intentions known. The smartest way to getting about to learning your desired magic is to impress a possible teacher with your roleplay. They may chose to approach you, which is a signal to usually just rp with them. Very rarely will anyone come up and offer you magic, but it’s not unheard of. After knowing said mage for some time(usually two or so months is fine), it’s generally time to express your interest in learning. They will either say yes or no; it’s entirely up to the teacher. If they say yes then they will direct you to put up a magic application, found here: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/151978-magic-system-rules-and-magic-applications/ You may also chose to self teach several of the void magics, but require an rp way of learning and someone with a teacher application to “Mentor” you. Either that or an MAT member can watch your progress. Self teaching magics are usually limited to evocations. Thank you too the guide writers. As well as: Fury_Fire, Nekkore, and Elrith_Searith for helping write, and format this guide! 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
