How to control your character and other commands are explained in the [[StendhalManual|Stendhal Manual]].
:* Say ''hi'' to characters with [[StendhalNPC|white names]]. Keep the conversation going with ''yes'' and blue-marked words. Sometimes ''yes'' or ''no'' is the only usable answer.▼
:* Read all texts (because they won't come back)▼
:* Carmen and Ilisa can ''heal'' you for free▼
You will enter in Semos Guard House, so
:* Speak to Hayunn Naratha in the room where you start
:* Say '''hi''' to get his attention then answer his questions (usually yes or no answers)
:* More useful information is given in the purple tutorial boxes, read them carefully.
In general you should remember the following things:
▲:* Say ''hi'' to characters with [[StendhalNPC|
▲:* Carmen and Ilisa can ''heal'' you for free
===Initial strategy===
Get some money:
#* Look in the charity chest south of the Inn in Semos for free armor.▼
Get some basic equipment:
# 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.▼
# 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.▼
Get some xp:
▲
* Ask NPCs (blue names) for ''[[StendhalQuest|quest]]'' or ''task''.

* Bring a friend to go deeper in the Semos dungeon.
Line 45 ⟶ 46:

Hunt creatures with useful items:
▲* Two-legged monsters give armor/weapons. Try attacking a <creature>gnome</creature> (farm areas).
Make money:
* Buy <item>old scythe</item> (blacksmith), then explore farm (east/right-wards) to get lots of food that you can sell
▲*
Get XP:
* Visit Ados city (east) to do [[StendhalQuest#Quests_in_Ados|quests]]
Tips:
▲:* kill <creature>orc chief</creature>, <creature>gnome|gnomes</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
▲:* Get <item>ham</item> from "big" animals like <creature>lion</creature>, <creature>bear</creature>, <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
