Combat is an important way of improving your character. You improve your attack and defence skills by being in combat, and killing increases your experience. Success in combat depends equally on your combat skills and your experience level.

When a creature is attacking you, it has a yellow square round it and you have a red square around you.
When a creature is attacking you, it has a yellow circle round it and you have a red circle around you.


To attack a creature simply <b>click</b> it or <b>right click</b> on it and choose <b>Attack</b>. You will see that a red circle appears almost immediately around it. This indicates an attack is being carried out. You need to be next to the target in order to actually hit them, unless you are using a ranged weapon like bow and arrows or missiles, in which case you must stand within a close range.

==Player groups==

Group mode is for combat. You have already noticed that playing as a group of players is fun and effective at killing creatures.
As a group you can now
* send messages to the whole group at once
* all take drops from creature corpses killed by group members before someone else can steal it.

[[Image:group_tab.png]]

To start a group, press the smiley button, and add the name of the player you want to invite

[[Image:group_starting.png]]

or type the command to invite members:
/group invite someone

Then wait for them to accept the invite. While the invite is valid, but not yet accepted you will be shown as the leader and the only member of your group:

[[Image:group_invite.png]]

Once the other player has accepted your invite, she will be shown as a member of your group. As the founder of the group you will be the leader and so your name will stay the first and be written in bold. Also you will have the smiley button active for inviting more group members, unlike the player who just joined your group.

[[Image:group_leader_view.png]] [[Image:group_ordinary_view.png]]

All group members, including yourself, have health bars below their names to help you see if someone is in trouble. Those members who are too far for you to see, have grayed out health bars.

To send group messages:
/p message
, or press the button with the chat bubble.

When playing in groups you may all wish to share access to the corpse, so that the corpse isn't locked to one person. But you can also set it back to single person access. This is called the group lootmode. To change between lootmodes, right click the "Looting" text:

[[Image:group_lootmode.png]],

To nominate someone else the group leader, or to kick a member from the group, right click that players name:

[[Image:group_adminop.png]],

and select what you want to do.


==Levels and Stats==
==Levels and Stats==
Line 100: Line 146:
Levels are a way to compare your character against others. Creatures also have a level, which you can see when you do right-click and 'Look' on them. If fighting one-on-one you should be able to kill a creature with less level than you without too much difficulty. Creatures of around the same level as you, you may need <item>potion|potions</item> to defeat. Creatures of a higher level will be a challenge for you to kill, even with potions. Also you should note that if you are fighting a group of creatures you will get hurt more (since there are more of them) so fighting a group of creatures with less level than yourself can still put you in a lot of danger.

With each kill or quest completed you are rewarded experience points (XP). If you get enough XP you will level up. To see how many XP remaining till you level up next, look at the number in brackets after your Level on your character window. The remaining numbers are explained below

The [[LevelTables|Level Progression Tables]] show how much XP is needed for each level.

Your stats panel has a lot of other numbers, labelled below with additional explanation in our youtube video.

The karma bar will be visible only if you have talked to the appropriate NPC. The longer the bar is, the better your karma is. In the image the player has good karma, so the karma bar is on blue.


Neutral karma would be a shorter bar, reaching to the white part, and bad karma would be a short bar ending at the red area.
