===Initial strategy===
# Kill <creature>rat|rats</creature> to get <item>money</item> (Hint: double-click body, double-click to take coins).
#* Look in the charity chest south of the Inn in Semos for free armor.
#* Otherwise, 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.
# Buy "<item>dagger"</item> (25 money) from Xin Blanca (Semos tavern).
# Get "<item>studded shield"</item> from Hayunn Naratha by returning to him 3 times.
# Collect food and fight in Semos dungeon to level up. With each level you can explore further and still run home alive.
# Buy "<item>old scythe"</item> (blacksmith), then explore farm (east/right-wards) to get lots of food.
# Ask NPCs (blue names) for ''[[StendhalQuest|quest]]'' or ''task''. Don't forget Mayor Sakhs, whose quest is repeatable once a day. Ask Starkad (south of Semos) about how to find creatures.
 
Tips:
* Being poisoned swaps left/right and up/down cursor keys.
* Two-legged monsters give armor/weapons. Try attacking a <creature>gnome</creature> (farm areas).
* At about lvl 5 try <creature>kobold</creature> (north of semos, in the mines).
* Bring a friend to go deeper in the Semos dungeon.
* ProtectedAreas areaswhere you are protected from being attacked by other players are marked green on minimap.
 
Things to avoid:
Line 43:
* Visit Ados city (east) to do [[StendhalQuest#Quests_in_Ados|quests]]
* Potions:
:* kill <creature>orc chief</creature>, <creature>gnomes|gnome</creature>, and others that drop <item>potion|potions</item> or <item>minor potion|minor potions</item>.
:* buy from Carmen (if you are rich) or Dr Feelgood (Ados zoo) at better prices
* Ham:
:* Get <item>ham</item> from "big" animals like lions<creature>lion</creature>, bears<creature>bear</creature>, boars<creature>boar</creature>.
:* Ham can be traded for items with older players, or used to make food (Semos bakery)
* If buying or hunting for armor, remember that having a good shield is most important, then a good armor, then cloak. The def is weighted to favour in this order.
* Always carry a <item>home scroll</item> (buy them from Haizen's hut north of Ados rock) to get you out of emergencies
* Carry <item>antidote|antidotes</item> (kill <creature>deer</creature> to get these) if you often get poisoned
