==Learn how to play==
How to control your character and other commands are explained in the [[StendhalManual|Stendhal Manual]].

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|blue names]]. Keep the conversation going with ''yes'' and blue-marked words. Sometimes ''yes'' or ''no'' is the only usable answer.
:* Read all texts carefully (because they might not be repeated)
:* Carmen can ''heal'' you for free

===Initial strategy===
Get some money:
* Kill <creature>rat|rats</creature> to get <item>money</item> (Hint: double-click body, double-click 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 basic equipment:
* Look in the charity chest south of the Inn in Semos 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 3 times.

Get some xp:
* 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''.
* Do the monster quest for Mayor Sakhs, it 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.
* At about level 5 try <creature>kobold</creature> (north of semos, in the mines).
* Bring a friend to go deeper in the Semos dungeon.
* Areas where you are protected from being attacked by other players are marked green on minimap.

Things to avoid:
* Dying, because dying means you lose stuff, EXP points and skills. (Or for a new player with no EXP yet: put all stuff in bank and explore. Die=coming back home.)
* Don't buy armor (in tavern back room) before trying the free places: charity chest (in Semos mud), talking and doing tasks/quests (legs, 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 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.

==Later game strategies==
Always carry:
* <item>potion|potions</item> (buy from Carmen (if you are rich) or Dr Feelgood (Ados zoo) at better prices)
* a <item>home scroll</item> (buy them from Haizen's hut north 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

Hunt creatures with useful items:
* kill <creature>orc chief</creature>, <creature>gnome|gnomes</creature>, and others that drop <item>potion|potions</item> or <item>minor potion|minor potions</item>.
* Get <item>ham</item> from "big" animals like <creature>lion</creature>, <creature>bear</creature>, <creature>boar</creature>.
* Two-legged monsters give armor/weapons. Try attacking a <creature>gnome</creature> (farm areas).

Make money:
* 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 village, etc. Check the [[StendhalNPC|NPC List]] for some details.

Get XP:
* Visit Ados city (east) to do [[StendhalQuest#Quests_in_Ados|quests]]

Tips:
* Having a good shield is most important, then a good armor, then cloak. The def is weighted to favour in this order.
