Keep the conversation going with ''yes'' and blue-marked words. Sometimes ''yes'' or ''no'' is the only usable answer. Further interesting topics to talk about are usually ''help'', ''job'', ''offer'' and ''quest''. :* Read all texts carefully (because they might not be repeated) :* <npc>Carmen</npc> can ''heal'' you for free :* Eat <item>cheese</item>, <item>meat</item> or other food to regain your health. :* Target creatures that are about half your level Line 38 ⟶ 28: Get some XP: * Do the quests in [[Semos]] ~~city~~City by talking to NPCs. * Do the monster quest for <npc>Mayor Sakhs</npc> in the townhall of Semos City, it is repeatable once a day. Ask Starkad (south of Semos) about how to find creatures. Get some basic equipment: * Look in the charity chest south of the Inn in Semos City for free armor. * Buy <item>dagger</item> (25 money) from Xin Blanca (Semos tavern). * Get <item>studded shield</item> from Hayunn Naratha by returning to him a third time after you talked to Monogenes. Line 48 ⟶ 38: == Interesting areas == * The <item>chicken</item> meat of the <creature>pigeon\|pigeons</creature> near <npc>Jenny</npc>'s windmill is very delicious. {{Atlas Link\|focus=0_semos_plains_ne.19.39\|zoom=6}} * At level 4 the wolfs north of Semos City {{Atlas Link\|focus=0_semos_plains_n.100.90\|zoom=6}} are a good source for food. * Collect food and fight around Semos {{Atlas Link\|focus=focus=0_semos_mountain_n_e2.0.140\|zoom=4}} * At about level 8 try bears east of Semos, but be careful in this area. {{Atlas Link\|focus=focus=0_semos_mountain_n_e2.0.140\|zoom=4}} * At about level 10 try <creature>cavalryman gnome\|Gnome</creature> ~~city~~Village in the north west of Semos {{Atlas Link\|focus=focus=0_semos_mountain_n_w2.60.100\|zoom=5}} or visit the <creature>kobold\|kobolds</creature> north of Semos in the ~~mines~~[[Semos Mines]] {{Atlas Link\|focus=0_semos_mountain_n2.90.110\|zoom=6}} * Ask NPCs (blue names) for ''[[StendhalQuest\|quest]]'' or ''task''. Line 57 ⟶ 48: * Being poisoned swaps left/right and up/down cursor keys. * Bring a friend to go deeper in the [[Semos ~~dungeon~~Dungeons]]. * Areas where you are protected from being attacked by other players are marked green on minimap. * Keep an eye on the number of white skulls below the minimap. Things to avoid: * Be careful in Semos ~~dungeon~~Dungeons because it gets quite dangerous. * Don't buy armor (in tavern back room) before trying the free places: charity chest (in Semos ~~mud~~City), talking and doing tasks/quests (legs, shield for free), getting it from corpses in Semos ~~dungeon~~Dungeons. * Don't waste money in the "[[wishing well]]" lottery (until you become rich). Dice gambling is more rewarding at low levels - check the list of prizes on the walls by the gambling table in Semos Tavern. * Don't attack players with white names - that disqualifies you from free healing (for a while) * Don't go too far from Semos. Other players and stronger creatures can kill you. Line 70 ⟶ 61: ==Later game strategies== Always carry: * <item>potion\|potions</item> (buy from Carmen (if you are rich) or <npc>Dr. Feelgood</npc> (Ados zoo) at better prices) * a <item>home scroll</item> (buy them from <npc>Haizen</npc>'s hut north-east of Ados rock) to get you out of emergencies * <item>antidote\|antidotes</item> (kill <creature>deer</creature> to get these) if you often get poisoned Line 82 ⟶ 73: * Ham can be traded for items with older players, or used to make food (Semos bakery) * Buy <item>old scythe</item> (blacksmith), then explore farm (east/right-wards) to get lots of food that you can sell * Sell armor in tavern, ~~gnome~~Gnome ~~village~~Village, etc. Check the [[StendhalNPC\|NPC List]] for some details. Get XP: * Visit Ados ~~city~~City in the (east) to do more [[StendhalQuest#Quests_in_Ados\|quests]] Get attack XP and defence XP: Line 94 ⟶ 85: ==See also== [[~~StendhalManual \|~~ Stendhal Manual]] [[Stendhal]] ~~[[StendhalFAQ \| Stendhal FAQ]]~~ ~~----~~ ~~[[Stendhal\| Back to stendhal main wiki page]]~~ [[Category:Stendhal]][[Category:Stendhal Player's Guide]]
