Line 23: : You can only attack another if (their level + 2) is bigger than or equal to (your level)0.75, or if they are already attacking you. ; Help! Player X wants to kill me! : Stay in a protected zone like [[Semos]] City, [[Semos Dungeons]], Semos Forest and Semos Plains. The areas you are safe are marked with pale green on the minimap. ; Help! Player X wants to kill me and I don't want to stay in the city for the rest of my life! : Firstly check if that player would actually be able to attack you using the formula above. (If he is much higher level than you, it's unlikely). If you're still worried, just play in the protected areas. There are plenty places you can find monsters which are still protected, like Semos Dungeons. ; I got marked with a red skull, how do I remove it? : Go and see <npc>Io Flotto</npc> in [[Semos]] Temple. If she already has taught you the rules of telepathy she will automatically notice your marking. If she hasn't taught you telepathy yet, you will need to learn from her then start another conversation. ; I got a red skull because I killed someone but we were training, that's not fair it's not the same ... : One of the risks of training is that you accidentally kill your partner. It's right that training has risks as well as benefits. Also, one could argue that if you could not watch carefully the person you were training with, you are still a danger. In the end it's your mistake that you killed someone and you cannot complain to us that it meant you were marked with a skull. If you were 'smart' enough to train you should have been 'smart' enough to know the risks. ; Why does <npc>Carmen</npc> say I have a bad aura? : You must have attacked another player recently. You can't get free healing for a while but you can pay for healing (for example to <npc>Ilisa</npc> or <npc>Jynath</npc>) ; Can I avoid getting a bad 'aura' or a red skull when I'm just training? : Yes, train by gaining experience in battles with monsters, not by hitting other players. Line 39: : Create offers through Trade Manager <npc>Harold</npc>. Just name your item and price and he takes the item for you. You can collect the money after another player accepts the offer. More detail is at [[NPC Harold]]. ; How do I trade safely without using <npc>Harold</npc>? : The trading table in [[Semos]] bank allows for most of the following tips by design: : Put your items down where noone else can get them (not even the person you're trading with, till you're ready to trade) :* Look at the items you're trading for carefully before you move. Check they are not quest rewards for the other player (see below) and check that you can see the full amount of money offered, if applicable. Line 52: == Banking == ; I want to bank in private as I hate people looking in my chests ... : Ask <npc>Dagobert</npc> about access to a ''vault''. ; Why can't I scroll into Semos bank but I can scroll into the others? : The trading table would be dangerous to allow people to scroll into. You can scroll out, though. Line 58: : We could, but likely won't. There are so many cities with bank chests that there should be enough storage space provided you sell or give away unwanted items. ; I want to access all my chests at once so that I can organise my items, how can I? : The wizard's bank in the magic city allows you to do this. You get to the [[Fado Great Caves\|magic city]] via some tunnels in the [[Fado]] / [[Kalavan]] area, or the orb at <npc>Jynath\|Jynath's</npc>. == Player social problems == Line 97: : Then you lose between 0 and 2% skills, depending on your karma. You can still drop things. ; I died because of lag! No fair! : Thanks for helping us beta test this game! I (<player>kymara</player>) don't know a single player who hasn't died 'unfairly' - sorry for the stress it will have caused you but thanks again for helping us. == Quests and Quest Rewards == Line 125: == Creatures == ; I can't find X creature where is it? : Try asking <npc>Starkad</npc> ([[Semos]] Plains SSouth) for information on the creature. If he doesn't know where you could find it, there are no natural instances of that creature in the game. If you need it for your Mayor Sakhs task, try the Death Match challenge.. ; Can you tell me how much time until creature Z respawns? : No, because this is random. Each turn there is the same chance a given creature will respawn, no matter when it was last killed. Line 139: : Yes, for safety they are often altered versions with weaker attack but more HP. ; What happens if I die in an admin created raid? : ~~As of 0.61 you~~You don't lose any skills (XP, atk, def) but you may still lose items in your corpse. ; Who is summoning the creatures? : If it is an admin created raid then it is a [[Stendhal:Administration\|GM]] (admin with adminlevel who can summon). If it is an automatic raid, then the server creates the creatures. Line 155: : Death Match or DM is a challenge for players above level 20. You must kill 10 creatures which spawn in the arena. ; How do I get into Death Match? : Find the Recruiter <npc>Thonatus</npc> who walks around the upper part of [[Ados]] Swamp ; What is the Death Match reward? : A trophy helmet. The DEF increases by +1 with every DM you complete. Line 166: ; Can I bail? : Yes, and you lose less XP than you would if you die, or a helmet point. You are then teleported away. ; Why do I go to ~~semos~~[[Semos]] ~~plain~~Plains ~~north~~North when I ask the recruiter to leave? : Why not :) ; Why do I get teleported to some mountains if I log out in DM? Line 180: ; Can my friends help me in DM? : Sure, they can join in the normal way, as long as they are also over level 20. Note: If people help you kill creatures, you get less score than if you did it alone. ; If my friends help me in the deathmatch and they kill a creature that is their own mayor quest, will <npc>Mayor Sakhs</npc> accept it? : Yes he will. ; Why do I sometimes get 11 creatures not 10? : An 11th creature spawns if you have not yet killed what you need for your [[StendhalQuest#Daily_Monster_Quest\|daily quest]] from <npc>Mayor Sakhs</npc>. ; Can I find out from the Recruiter who is in Deathmatch before I go in? : He will warn you who is there, if anyone, when you say ''challenge'' and await your confirmation that you wish to go in. Line 191: == Marriage == ; I want to be married, how?! : It's a quest, read about it here: [[StendhalQuest#Marriage \| Stendhal Quests page]] ; Can I marry more than one person? : No, bigamy or polygamy is not permitted. ; I'm no longer happily married, is divorce possible? : Yes it is, go to <npc>Wilfred</npc> in [[Ados]] Town Hall. But remember you can always just leave your ring in your chest and then your partner cannot teleport to you with his ring. Perhaps it's better to have a cooling off period before you take the drastic step of divorce ... ; I have too many rings now but only one finger, can you help? : You can store other rings on your keyring if it is already activated. Line 232: == Jail == ; Where is the Jail? Can I visit? : It's a building in [[Semos]] Plains West, which you can visit and even meet the <npc>Marcus\|prison guard<npc> and <npc>Conual\|inmates</npc>. ; I've been jailed, when will I be released? : When you were jailed the message told you how many minutes you were jailed for. If you are not sure please ask /support politely how long the sentence was for. Line 238: : When you return your time will be restarted to the original time because of your failed 'escape attempt'. I.e. If you were jailed for 10 minutes and you logout after 5 minutes, when you login you will have to spend another 10 minutes in jail without logging out, to be released. If something goes wrong and you believe that you've spent the full time in jail without logging out, but you are not released, please ask /support for help. ; Where do I go when I'm released from the cell in -1_semos_jail? : You are magically teleported to -3_semos_jail_walk which is a bit like a maze. When you get to the centre you appear again in [[Semos]]. ; Why does the long jail exit walk exist? : For technical reasons prisoners must be released to Semos city. We used to release prisoners straight to the city but then players would continually ask to be jailed, as a free trip home! It became a problem. So the long walk was created. Line 301: ; What do the numbers on the character panel mean? How do I know my stats? : Please see the Stendhal manual entry for [[StendhalManual#Levels_and_Stats\|levels and stats]] ; Who is the <player>postman</player>? : He's an NPC, but he appears on the <code>/who</code> list like a player, so you know you can message him. Try <code>/msg postman help</code> and he will tell you what he can do for you. ; There was a server crash and now I'm back to where I started yesterday / There was a server crash and I died!
