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 35 ⟶ 24: ==Initial strategy== Get some money: * Kill <creature>rat\|rats</creature> to get <item>money</item> (Hint: ~~double-~~click ~~body~~to attack, ~~double-~~click from the corpse window that opens to take coins). * buy a sheep (-30 money) and walk your sheep near red berries (takes 5-10 min). Sell fat sheep (+150 money for weight 100 sheep) to Sato. 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 49 ⟶ 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. Visit the Farm in the east of Semos City. * 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. * At about level 108 try ~~gnome~~bears ~~city (in the north west~~east of Semos), orbut ~~<creature>kobold</creature>~~be ~~(north~~careful ofin ~~Semos,~~this inarea. ~~the~~{{Atlas ~~mines)~~Link\|focus=focus=0_semos_mountain_n_e2.0.140\|zoom=4}} * At about level 10 try <creature>cavalryman gnome\|Gnome</creature> 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 [[Semos Mines]] {{Atlas Link\|focus=0_semos_mountain_n2.90.110\|zoom=6}} * Ask NPCs (blue names) for ''[[StendhalQuest\|quest]]'' or ''task''. == More Tips == * 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 ~~sculls~~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 71 ⟶ 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 83 ⟶ 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: * You should get hits for increasing both your attack and defence levels. In order to increase your attack level, you should get hits and do damage to creatures or players, simultaneously.
