==Characters== |
|||
You can and need to talk to other characters to get help and to find out about quests to complete.<br> |
|||
There are several NPCs in Stendhal. All of them reply to <b>Hi</b> (most of them reply also to <b>Hello</b> and <b>Hola</b>), so greet them and ask them for <b>help</b> or <b>quests</b>. |
|||
Some of them will <b>sell</b> and <b>buy</b> sheep or items, others <b>heal</b> you, and others are simply <i>"useless"</i> |
|||

|||
An example of a conversation with Xin Blanca could be: |
|||
<miguel> hi |
|||
<Xin Blanca> Greetings! How may I help you? |
|||
<miguel> help |
|||
<Xin Blanca> I buy and sell several items, ask me for my offer |
|||
<miguel> sell |
|||
<Xin Blanca> Sorry, I don't buy sell |
|||
<miguel> offer |
|||
<Xin Blanca> I sell wooden_shield,knife,club,leather_legs,dress,small_axe,leather_helmet, I buy studded_shield,short_sword,sword, |
|||
<miguel> buy leather_legs |
|||
<Xin Blanca> leather_legs costs 30. Do you want to buy? |
|||
<miguel> yes |
|||
<Xin Blanca> Congratulations! Here is your leather_legs! |
|||
<miguel> Bye |
|||
<Xin Blanca> Bye. |
|||
Sometimes you can buy more than one item at the same time: |
|||
<miguel> buy 10 minor_potion |
|||
Notice that names of items doesn't contain spaces between words (they use _ as separator) and the name of the item is always singular independently of the amount being bought. |
|||
==Items== |
|||
Items such as armour and weapons can be found in the Stendhal world, or bought for hard earned cash. |
|||
(Hint: Explore the tavern, I've heard a shady character goes there to sell his stuff... though it might be stolen!) |
|||
Items increase your Attack or Defence values accordingly. They must be equipped by dragging them onto a particular section of the player in the Top right GUI. This little representation of your player allows you to visualise what they are wearing/using. |
|||
==World of Stendhal== |
|||
Explore it! :) |

|||
==NPCs (Non Player Characters) And Learning About Quests== |
|||
All around the world of Stendhal are numerous NPCs all waiting to give you some tips on available quests. |
|||
All NPCs respond to saying <b>hi</b> and usually to <b>quest</b>. Some may have different things to say so try |
|||
asking them multiple times. NPCs also respond to <b>help</b>. |
|||
<!-- |
|||
The system is designed to be as real to chatting as possible so just try chatting to them and see what what happens! |
|||
For example: you may say "do you know of any quests?" and the NPC will find the quest in the sentence and respond accordingly. |
|||
--> |
|||
==Sheep== |
|||
Once you have bought a sheep it will follow you wherever you go. It's your job to protect and feed it. |
|||
The icon shown in the upper-right corner of the sheep will show you what it is thinking. |
|||
* A yellow man means it is currently following you. |
|||
http://www.j-a-r-n-o.nl/following.png |
|||
* A hamburger means it would like to eat. Your sheep will go to the nearest food source. |
|||
http://www.j-a-r-n-o.nl/eating.png |
|||
* Little feet means it is just wandering around. This sheep isn't owned by anyone (anymore). |
|||
http://www.j-a-r-n-o.nl/wandering.png |
|||
Sheep like to eat fruits. These fruits can be found on the many bushes in Stendhal. |
|||
A bush can carry up to five fruits. Over time these will grow back. |
|||
So if your sheep has eaten all of it, it's time to move to the next bush. |
|||
http://www.j-a-r-n-o.nl/bushes.png |
|||
<b>Right Click</b> on your sheep and choose <b>Look</b> to see how fat it has become. The fatter the sheep, the more you will get for it when you sell it. |
|||
Sheeps aren't very intelligent. So if your sheep gets stuck or isn't near you just write <b>sheep</b> and it will start moving to your position. You can verify the sheep's position by writing <b>/where sheep</b>. |
|||
Unfortunately once you own a sheep you can't leave the zone without your sheep being near you. So make sure it is near before trying to leave. If you are in a hurry you can leave your sheep. To leave your sheep right click on '''yourself''' and choose '''leave sheep'''. |
|||
Sometimes sheep are silly and they trap you. If this happens, then leave your sheep. He'll walk away then when you're free you can '''own''' him again. |
|||
You can also own a released ''wild sheep'' again by right clicking on '''it''' and choosing '''own'''. |
|||
==Outfit== |
|||
Outfit helps you to feel the real role playing experience.<br> |
|||
You can choose your outfit by mixing a set of different styles of bodies, heads, hairs and clothes. |
|||
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/manual_17.jpg |
|||
To bring up the dialog <b>Right Click</b> your character and choose <b>Set Outfit</b>. Click OK when you are done. |
|||
You can also choose not to wear clothes at all :)<br> |
|||
If you just close the window nothing will be changed. |
|||
==Combat== |
|||
Combat is an important way of increasing your level. You only get experience by killing. You can't improve your skills by training like in other games. |
|||
To attack a creature simply <b>right click</b> on it and choose <b>Attack</b> or <b>double-click</b> it. You will see that a red box 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 though! |
|||
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/manual_010.jpg |
|||
Your attack will continue until: |
|||
* you stop it using "Stop attack" action |
|||
* you press ESC |
|||
* you change zone (area) |
|||
* your target is dead |
|||
Combat is round based, and each round last around 1.6 seconds. |
|||
Each round the attack is resolved and the result is displayed in the right-bottom corner of the target: |
|||
* a cloud means you failed to hit the target.<br> |
|||
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/manual_010.jpg |
|||
* a shield means you hit the target but that you were unable to damage it.<br> |
|||
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/manual_011.jpg |
|||
* a blood drop means you hit the target and damaged it. Also you will see a red number pop out of the target indicating the amount of damage actually done.<br> |
|||
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/manual_012.jpg |
|||
If you kill your target you will see a blue number pop out which is the experience reward you have gained. |
|||
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/manual_013.jpg |
|||
Once you have killed your target it is important that you inspect its corpse to find money, food and other items: move next to the corpse and <b>right click</b> on it and choose <b>inspect</b> (you can also <b>double-click</b> to inspect). You can identify any kind of item you find at any time by right clicking on it and choosing look.<br> |
|||
To store items in your bag you can move them there by <b>drag and drop</b> or simply <b>double-click</b> them. |
|||
==Levels== |
|||
Your character has a level attribute that expresses how strong that character is.<br> |
|||
Levels are the only way of comparing your character against others. |
|||
With each kill or quest completed you are rewarded experience points (XP). If you get enough XP you will level up and gain a development point (a development point is a point to add to your skill in a number of different fields. This is the way in which you make your character stronger and better)['''Note:''' development points aren't implemented yet]. |
|||
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/manual_014.jpg |
|||
You can spend development points on: |
|||
* +1 ATK level (your attack skill) |
|||
* +1 DEF level (your defense skill) |
|||
* +10 HP points (your hit points, i.e. the amount of damage you can take before you die) |
|||
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki_images/manual_015.jpg |
|||
Once you have spent your point you can't undo your decision, so choose carefully. This allows you to properly choose the direction of skill your character will follow. |
|||

|||
To see how much experience is needed to change level, checkout the tables at the bottom of this manual. |
|||
