-Initial strategy:
+===Initial strategy===
 # Kill rats to get money (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 coins) and walk your sheep near red berries (takes 5-10 min).  Sell fat sheep (+150 coins for weight 100 sheep) to Sato.

-# Buy "dagger" in semos tavern from Xin Blanca.
+# Buy "dagger" (25 money) from Xin Blanca (Semos tavern).
-# Get a studded shield from Hayunn Naratha by returning to him 3 times.
+# Get "studded shield" from Hayunn Naratha by returning to him 3 times.
-# Bring food and go fight in the town dungeon and nearby areas to level up. Each level allows you to explore further away and come back to town alive (Found Orc? Run! Many orcs? R.I.P.)
+# Collect food and fight in Semos dungeon to level up. With each level you can explore further and still run home alive.
 # Buy "old scythe" (blacksmith), then explore farm (east/right-wards) to get lots of food.
-# Ask around for a ''quest'' or ''task'' to earn XP. Don't forget Mayor Sakhs, whose quest is repeatable once a day.
+# Ask blue-names for ''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:
-* Don't get bored with rats -- instead bring a friend and go deeper in the dungeon!
 * Being poisoned swaps left/right and up/down cursor keys.
 * Two-legged monsters give armor/weapons. Try attacking a gnome (farm areas).
 * At about lvl5 try kobold (north of semos, in the mines).
+* Bring a friend to go deeper in the Semos dungeon.
 Things to avoid:
-* Dying, because dying means you lose stuff. (Or leave your stuff at the bank, then run around and dying = coming back home! You still loose EXP points and skills though.)
+* Dying, because dying means you lose stuff, EXP points and skills. (Or for a new plyer with no EXP yet: put all stuff in bank and explore. Dye=coming back home.)
-* Don't buy armor (in tavern back room) before trying the free places: chest in mud, tasks/quests (pants for free), stuff on the ground left by other players, or dungeon monster drops.
+* Don't buy armor (in tavern back room) before trying the free places: charity chest (in Semos mud), talking and doing tasks/quests (pants, shield for free), getting it from corpses in Semos dungeon.
 * 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]].
-* Don't attack other players (with white names), it'll prevent you from free healing (for a "while?")
+* Don't attack players with white names - that disqualifies you from free healing (for a while)
-* Don't go too far from the city and plains because you are not protected from attack from other players there and you may meet creatures which are too strong for you.
+* Don't go too far from Semos. Other players and stronger creatures can kill you.
 ===Later game strategies===
+* Make money by selling armor in tavern, gnome village, etc.
-# Learn which armor can be sold back to NPCs and collect these. (Read the blackboards by Xin Blanca in the Inn and McPegleg upstairs from the inn)
-# Head East to Ados city and ask the NPCs there for quests
+* Visit Ados city (east) to do quests
+* Potions:
-# Head South Wast to Orril castle and explore (but not too far!)
-# Kill creatures like orc chief and gnomes which drop healing potions, or buy them from Carmen if you have the cash
+:* kill orc chief, gnomes, and others that drop potions
-# Potions are even cheaper from Dr Feelgood at Ados wildlife refuge
+:* buy from Carmen (if you are rich) or Dr Feelgood (Ados zoo) at better prices
+* Ham:
-# Kill lions, bears, boars, etc to get ham and meat which you may be able to swap with other players for items
+:* Get ham from "big" animals like lions, bears, boars.
-# If you want to invest in a good defensive item, choose a shield because they are weighted to give better DEF. (e.g. A shield def 10 gives better def than armor def 10).
+:* Ham can be traded for items with older players, or used to make food (Samos bakery)
-# Starkad, south of semos plains, will tell you where to find specific creatures, as well as what they drop and if you would be strong enough for them.
+* Kill veteran kobold to get a shield (It's told that a shield +10 gives more DEF than armor +10?)
-# Always carry a home scroll (buy them from Haizen's hut north of Ados rock) to get you out of emergencies
+* Always carry a home scroll (buy them from Haizen's hut north of Ados rock) to get you out of emergencies
-# Carry antidotes (kill deer to get these) if you are prone to getting poisoned
+* Carry antidotes (kill deer to get these) if you often get poisoned
