About this FAQ * =============================================================================== This FAQ is a work in progress. I will try to update it as often as possible with new and up-to-date info to the best of my knowledge and capabilities. I will try to include an exhaustive guide to playing the game, as well as going into the full detail of all of the game's systems and mechanics. Since I'm writing this from scratch, chances are you won't be able to find most there's to know about Fantasy Online. This will hopefully change as I continue work on this FAQ and progressively add more info. Also I'd like to ask you, dear reader, to excuse me for all of the typos that you will very much likely find. =============================== - #0.1. Contacting the Author =============================== You may want to contact the Author (me ^_^) to report typos, errors or outdated info in this guide, give out your advices and (constructive) criticism, or for any other good reason. If that's the case, feel free to drop me an email at andreaportale@gmail.com by specifying "Fantasy Online FAQ" into the subject (this is important, otherwise I may ignore your message). Also, if you happen to play the game, my character's name in FO is Bango. Feel

free to say "Hi!" if you happen to see me there ;) =============================================================================== * #1. Introduction * =============================================================================== Fantasy Online (later referred to as FO) is a free to play, online Flash-based multiplayer RPG developed by Pixelated Games. The game is currently in Open Beta, meaning it is still undergoing heavy development and some of its features could still be incomplete or affected by bugs. In FO, you create and control a hero (your character). You fight monsters, complete quests and explore the world of FO in order to gain experience and grow in power. The game has 8-bit style graphics, humor, user generated content, micro-transactions (used to buy an in-game currency which allows you to buy exclusive items and unlock special zones and features), a mining and crafting system (work in progress), with many more features still in development to be soon released. FO also features a very nice, active and growing community =D So feel free to join in!

Useful Links and Resources ==================================== FO is in Open Beta, so it is still ever changing, with new features being added as time passes. Since I've just started writing this FAQ, chances are some of the things you may be looking for won't be found on this guide. Fear not! As there's a couple useful places you can visit to gather additional knowledge about the game. - http://www.fantasy-mmorpg.com/forums/ Home of FO official forums, where you can meet the game's community and find more about FO development, discuss the game and more. You will first need to create a game's account to post on the boards. You don't need to log in with an existing account to read the forums though. - http://twitter.com/#!/fantasyonline The game's official Twitter, where the most up-to-date development info, tidbits and random talks are being released. - http://www.fo-wiki.com FO community fan-site. Featuring a users-maintained database, regularly updated with game's maps and detailed data about items, monsters, skills, NPCs and much more. If you still can't find an answer fitting your needs, feel free to ask fellow players through the game's built-in chat. =============================================================================== * #3. Basics and Controls * =============================================================================== ======================================================= - #3.1. Registering and Choosing your Character's Name ======================================================= Depending on what website you play the game, you will need to take a few steps to start playing FO. Also, when choosing which site to play FO at, you may want to consider your choice will determine if you'll be awarded special and unique rewards while playing and if you'll be able to access exclusive game's features. The recommended choice is to play FO on Facebook. Once you've completed the registration process you won't have to repeat it ever again, unless you do want to create a new one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #3.1.1. Playing on Facebook ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will need an active Facebook account. Registering on Facebook won't be covered by this FAQ. Visit http://apps.facebook.com/fantasyonline/ You will need to allow the game to access basic information about you and to be able to post on your Facebook profile's wall to be able to play. You will be asked to choose a name for your newly created character. Choose it wisely as this is the name that will be showed to other players while playing the game. This will act as the username for your game's account, which you will have to log in with if you want to post on the game's official forums. Also, you should be well aware that you can't change your character's name at a later time (a name-change feature "could" be implemented, eventually), so just be sure to not choose a dumb name you could regret in the future. Valid characters for your name of choice only include letters (both UPPER and lower case) and numbers. Your character's name cannot be too long. Note that the game won't accept a name which includes characters other than alphanumerical or which is too long, and it won't notify you of any error when that happens. The game will notify you if the name you typed-in is already taken. You will have to try with a different one if that comes to happen. Once you successfully registered your character's name, you won't have to type it in again to play the game, as the auto log-in feature will handle this for you. Now on to the special features reserved to Facebook players. -----------------------------|* #3.1.1.1 Your Fellowship *| -----------------------------The main purpose of growing your Fellowship is to obtain "free UBER rewards". Very powerful items, in other words. To grow your Fellowship you have to send fellowship requests to your Facebook friends by clicking on the "Add Friend" button under the game's screen on Facebook. As soon as your friends (or you) accept a fellowship request on the Games page on Facebook, your Fellowship will grow by one. In addition to this, a Fellowship Members Count and a small list of the highest level members of your Fellowship will be displayed under Fo's game screen on Facebook. Rewards will be delivered to you in-game (you'll find them in your mail box) as soon as your Fellowship Members Count hits certain goal numbers. The Rewards and number of Members in your Fellowship you need to get them are as follow: Fellowship Card, 10 Members Premium Fellowship Card, 20 Members Fellowship of the Ring, 50 Members Fellowship Bracelet, 100 Members The One Ring, 200 Members

Additional UBER Rewards obtainable by growing up your Fellowship even more may be added in the future. ------------------------|* #3.1.1.2 Free Gifts *| ------------------------While playing on Facebook, you will be able to send free gifts and requests to your friend. The Gifts & Requests Window will open up every time you log-in to a server. You can also open the Gifts & Requests window by clicking on the "Free Gifts" button at the top of the game's screen. You (or your friends) will have to accept gifts and requests on your Games page on Facebook first in order for the item to be successfully delivered. Items you can gift and request on Facebook: Tiny Rest Boost, Scroll of FB Status, Cake, Noob Island Map, Small Health Potion, Small Energy Potion, Gold Skull Chunk. ------------------------------------|* #3.1.1.3 Hidden Treasure Chests *| ------------------------------------While playing on Facebook and looting your enemies' corpses, you'll have a chance to find a Hidden Treasure Chest. When this happens, a "Share Treasure" button will be displayed in the Loot Window. By clicking on it, the Hidden Treasure Chest will be posted on your Facebook Profile's Wall for your Friends to open. You're not allowed to open Chests you post on your wall, so you'll have to open the ones posted by your Friends. Those are displayed on your Friends' Walls and on your Games page on Facebook. Also, you can only open a max of 5 Hidden Treasure Chests a day. If you hit the limit, try again the day after. When opening a Hidden Treasure Chest a message will show up: The Chest is Already Gone: Someone already opened that chest. The Chest was Empty: nothing was contained into that chest. You Found Coins: a random Gold Coins reward will be delivered to your in- game mail. You Found a Olive Branch: a random Olive Branch will be delivered to your in-game mail. 4 different kinds of Olive Branches can be found, each one boosting one of your character's stats when equipped. Those are Olive Branch of Health, Olive Branch of Strength, Olive Branch of Speed and Olive Branch of Mind. You Found Gems: 5 Gems will be delivered to your in-game mail. Bad Treasure: this may happen at times, meaning some sort of bug happened. You can Only Loot 5 a Day: you already hit the max of 5 Hidden Treasure Chests you can open each day.

Be aware that if the Chest was posted by someone who has lots of friends playing FO it will likely be opened up by someone in no time. In a matter of seconds at worst, so don't get frustrated it seems you can't open a chest which isn't gone away already. Rather, just ask some of your friends to alert you as soon as they're going to share a Chest and be ready to refresh your Games page quickly to be able to successfully get your Hidden Treasure Chest Reward.

------------------------------------|* #3.1.1.4 Other Facebook Rewards *| ------------------------------------This is a list of additional Rewards you can get by accomplishing different tasks while playing FO on Facebook. - FO Baseball Cap, Like the Facebook Fantasy Online Page. - Email, grant the FO Application permission to send emails to the email address linked to your Facebook account. - Facebook Exclusive T, received as a gift if you spend 40 Facebook Credits to purchase 50 Gems. - Facebooker Cap, received as a gift if you spend 80 Facebook Credits to purchase 100 Gems. You will get a free Facebook Exclusive T as well. - Blue Bandana, received as a gift if you spend 150 Facebook Credits to purchase 200 Gems.

Items you can earn by playing on Kongregate: Coming soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #3.1.3. Playing on FO official site ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coming soon. ========================== * #3.2. Choosing a Server * ========================== After you log-in to the game, you will have to choose which server to play in. FO is a Massive Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG), many players can play together into the same persistent world at once. Your character still is the same on all servers! The game will present you with a drop-down list containing all the available servers. Servers are identified by a number (usually from 1 to 10). Also, the current player's count for each server is shown in parenthesis. This goes as follows: - Medium Not so many players are currently playing on this server. You won't probably meet a whole lot of other players. You should not notice any lag by playing on this one. - High A high number of player currently playing. You're likely to meet lots of other players while playing the game. Lag could happen, but it usually isn't noticeable to a point the game experience is compromised. - Very High

Huge numbers of players are currently crowding this server. You'll meet lots of people in most of the game's zones. Lag may reach uncomfortable heights. - Recommended The number of players on this server is so that we believe your game experience will be just right if you play here. Choose the server you wish to play in and press the "Play Now!" button to connect to the game. Note: If you're not able to log in to any server, chances are the game's currently down for maintenance. If that's the case, just try again later or visit either the forums or FO Twitter account to find out what's up. Note: Some web browsers could store which server you choose and store this choice into their cache. If you find the game automatically connects to a server which you don't want to play in, just try to refresh the page or clear your web browser's cache, then try again. ======================================== * #3.3. Choosing your Character's Look * ======================================== The first time you log-in with your newly created character's account, you will have to choose how he/she looks by choosing a combination among the available Hair, Head (eyes) and body (skin color) styles. You can select the wished styles by using the controls on the left, a character's preview is shown on the right (isn't it cute? ^_^). You can rotate the character's preview by clicking on the "L" and "R" buttons. If you want the game to choose a randomly generated look for your character you can click the "Random" button (you can do so how many times you want). Once you're happy with the result just click on the "Wow, it looks just like me!" button and you will find yourself right into the world of FO. If you don't want to wait any longer, just jump to the Walkthrough section, as I'll now take some more time to go through the game's controls, user interface, and some basic concepts. ======================== * #3.4. User Interface * ======================== The User Interface for the game is simple and functional at the same time. At the Top-Left you can find a box displaying basic info about your character. It shows: - Your Character's Name - Your current location in the game's world (displayed in x.y format) - Your character's level - Your Health Bar (HP), when it reaches 0 you die and are taken to the nearest graveyard. You will also have to wait 30 seconds before being able to act again. No other penalties are inflicted upon death in FO. - Your Energy Bar (Energy), energy points are needed to cast skills. - A portrait of your character. - If you join a guild later in the game, your guild's name will be displayed here as well.

At the Top-Right can be found various icons, each of which will open up a different window. All of the windows can be closed by clicking on the small "x" button (at the top-right of the window), or by clicking again on the respective icon. You can open/close the interface windows be the use of the right hot-key too. I will now briefly illustrate all of the interface windows, in order. - Character & Equipment Window (hot-key "C") Displays detailed info about your character and the items he or she is currently equipped with. This is the windows you go to to assign the skill point you're awarded with by gaining experience and leveling up (more on this later). At the left-side, a picture of your character is shown, surrounded by items slot. Slots go as follows: - Head Slot (helms, caps and other items like that) - Face Slot (glasses, masks and the like) - Body Slot (armors, robes, etc.) - Legs Slot (pants and so on) - Weapon Slot (simple enough) - Hand Slot (for shields. You can't equip shields or other off-hand items while wielding two-handed weapons) - 2x Ring Slots (you guess it) - 2x Item Slots (trinkets and other tiny items are usually equipped into this slots). When you want to equip a piece of equipment, you drag the item from your inventory to the according slot. Alternatively, you can equip/remove items by double-clicking on a item's icon in your inventory or the Character & Equipment Window. At the right-side, your character's stats are shown. Those are: - Stamina (STR). Gives you more HPs and Armor. - Strength (STR). Adds to your Health regen and make you deal more damage when using certain weapons. - Agility (AGI). Adds to your Critical chance, Dodge Chance and make you deal more damage when using certain weapons. It also adds to your Health regen, even if the tool tip doesn't state so. - Intellect (INT). Gives you more Energy Points and make you deal more damage when using certain weapons. You have 20 points in every Stat as you start a new character. More info on how exactly Stats work later in this FAQ. Also, if you have Skill Points you can spend to raise your Stats, those will be displayed here as well. To spend a point onto a given Stat, click on the according little "+" button next to it. The only way for you to reset your Stats (meaning, to change how many Skill Points you put in each stat) is to pay 10 Gems (the game's virtual-cash currency), so choose wisely how to distribute your Skill Points. If you wish to reset your Skill Points, click on the "Reset Skill Points" button.

At the bottom of this Window you can find your Battle Stats. These stats are calculated by the game depending on your Stats and Equipment. Those are: - Armor (DEF). The more armor you have, the less damage you take when hit by a monster. Equipment, Stamina and Buffs can add to your Armor score. - Damage (dmg, shown as min-max damage in this Window). This is how much damage one of your hits will inflict when you're fighting a monster. The higher the Damage values, the more damage you will deal to monsters. Better weapons feature better damage. Note: Be aware that the values shown in this Window are incorrect! Take the damage values as a indicator of how much you will hit for, the actual damage will deal will differ. This will get fixed soon, hopefully. - ATK Power. The more ATK Power, the more damage you will deal to monsters. This value only depends on your Stats. Which Stat is used to calculate your AP depends on the kind of weapons you use. If you use a STR weapon (like a sword), your STR rating will be used. If you use a AGI weapon (like a bow), your AGI rating will be used. If you use a INT weapon (like a wand), your INT rating will be used. Equipment, Stamina and Buffs can add to your ATK Power rating. - ATK Speed (AS). The attack speed of your weapon. Meaning, how many hits you will swing in a given amount of time. The lower the ATK Speed, the faster the weapon's speed. Faster weapons will usually score lower damage on a successful hit, slower weapons will score higher damage. ATK Speed is a property of the weapon you've equipped with. - Crit %. The chance you have to score a Critical Hit. Critical Hits deal double your normal hits damage. Your AGI Stat adds to your Crit chance, as well as some Buffs. - Dodge %. The chance you have to dodge an enemy's hit. If you dodge an attack, you will take no damage, regardless of how strong the attack was. Your AGI Stat adds to your Dodge chance. - Skill Book Window (hot-key "S") This Window shows the skills you've learned through the course of the game. You start the game with 2 learnt skills only: "Sucker Punch" (which deals a little bit of damage to an enemy) and "Lick Your Wounds" (heals you or another player, restoring a few HPs). To be able to use a skill, you first have to drag it from the Skill Book Window to your character's Skills Hotbar (located at the bottom of the game's screen). Your first two skills can already be found in your Skills Hotbar when you start a new character. Of course you will need to have enough Energy Points to cast the skill, as well as meeting any other Stats and Level Requirements. New and more powerful skills can usually be purchased at NPC Skills-Shops, located in various areas of the game. More on Skills to be covered later in this FAQ. - Quest Log Window (Hotkey "Q") Quests you can complete, their current status and info are shown in this Window. To complete a quest, you will first have to talk to the right NPC. Quests

usually earn you Gold Coins and Experience (and sometimes item rewards too) upon completion. Some quests have a level requirement to be met before you can take them, or need you to complete some other quest in advance. More detailed info about quests later in this FAQ. - Friends Window (Hotkey "F") Your friends and respective status (online or offline) are shown in this window. Some useful chat commands are shown in this Window too. - Gem Shop Window (Hotkey "G") This is where you can purchase special, exclusive and powerful (or just cool) items by spending Gems. Gems are a virtual-cash currency in FO, used to buy items which are usually more powerful than those you normally find while playing the game. Gems can be used to unlock some areas and other special features in FO. You get 10 free gems while playing the game (1 free gem every time you level up, till you reach level 11). Most of the Gem items from the Gem Shop can still be purchased at the in-game (player-run) Market for regular Gold Coins (the currency you normally earn by killing monsters and completing quests). Simply put, you can still get the most powerful items in the game by hard work alone, if you don't want (or can't) pay real money to purchase Gems. More info about the Market, Gems and how to purchase or earn (for free!) more of them later in this FAQ. - Map Window (Hotkey "M") This window shows a map of the area you're currently in. You first have to buy (for Gold Coins) a map for any given game's area at a NPC store before being able to display it in this Window. - Mail Window (Hotkey "I") This Windows stores all mails sent to you. The game lacks a "proper" mailing system, meaning you're not allowed to write and sent proper text mails to other players. Yet, the game sends you mail to notify you when you buy items at the Players' Market (the purchased item will actually be contained in the mail) or when a Item of yours being put into the Player's Market for sale (a Listing) has been sold (the notification mail actually containing the earned sum of Gold Coins for you). The very first mail the game will send to you, and one you may want to take note of is the one containing your character's account password. You will find your password into the Mail Window as soon as you start playing. You won't probably need the password to play the game, if you play at some websites (ie, if you play on Facebook). You will need your password, along your character's name (which acts as your FO account's username), to log-in and post on the official FO website (http://www.fantasy-mmorpg.com) and the fan-site wiki (http://www.fo-wiki.com). You will need your character's name and password if you want to play with your (created on another website) character while at the game's official website. Also, be aware mails will automatically be deleted after a set amount of

time (10 days after they're sent to you), so be sure to check your Mail Window regularly to avoid losing Gold or valuable Items, as you won't be able to get your deleted mails back. - Help Window (Hotkey "H") Contains useful info about the game's User Interface and Basics. - Log Out Button Logs out your character, leaving the game server. Some other very important elements of FO User Interface are located at the Bottom of the game's screen. - The XP Bar Shows you how much experience you've earned and how far you are from earning a new Level UP. You earn experience upon defeating monsters, completing quests and undertaking other tasks throughout the course of the game. As soon as your XP bar fills-up, reaching 100%, your character earns a new Level (Leveling UP). Every time your character levels up, he grows in power. His HP and Energy Points are increased and you earn 2 additional Skill Points you can spend to increase your character's Stats. In addition to this, upon reaching higher levels, your character will be able to learn more powerful Skills, equip better Items, access higher level game's areas and more. - Rest Status Represented by a funny emoticon-like face and a % value. This shows how much your character is rested. Every time your character earns Experience Points (ie, by killing monsters or completing a quest) the Rest Status is lowered accordingly. The different Rest Statuses and their effect are these: - 0% Rest. Exhausted You will get normal experience and gold. - from 1% to 49%. Tired. You will get Double XP when Tired. - from 50% to 100%. Rested. You will get triple XP, more gold and a greater chance of finding loot when defeating enemies. If your Rest Status is below 100%, you will slowly regain rest (1% gained every 5 minutes). A counter next to your Rest Status will show how much time is left for your character to gain more rest. You will also get fully rested after 8 hours not playing the game. You can also buy special potions for gems (or for gold, at the Player's Market), to regen more rest more quickly. Even if the Rest Statuses description doesn't put it very clearly, you will get very little XP, gold and loot when not Rested. Also, your Rest Status will affect how much XP and Gold you will earn by completing Quests. So, as a general advice, you do not want to grind for XP, gold and items when you're Tired or, worse, Exhausted. - Skills Hotbar

Displaying the Skills you've currently selected for use. Remember you can't cast Skills directly from your Skills Book, you will first have to drag Skills to your Skills Hotbar. Note: as I'm writing this, you can't drag a Skill from your Skill Book onto an existing Skill in your Skills Hotbar to replace it, as this won't work (probably a bug). To remove a Skill from your Skills Hotbar, drag it anywhere on the game's screen and it will be removed from the Hotbar. To use a Skill, you will first have to select an enemy or another player by clicking on it. A red marker will appear under a selected enemy, while a blue one will appear under a selected player (in addiction to this, a Box will appear next to your Character's one, showing you what is that you selected) To use a Skill you either click on the Skill's icon in the Skills Hotbar or press the according hot-key on your keyboard (hotkeys for Skills go from 1 to 9, the hot-key being displayed over the Skill's icon). You will of course need the required Energy Points and have to meet every other Skill's requirement for you to be able to cast the Skill. You can purchase more Skills at the various NPC Skills-Shops to be found throughout the game's world. - Bags This open Your item is your Inventory, where items you carry around are being stored. You can and close your bags by clicking on their icons. main bag is the Backpack (Hotkey "B"), which is made up of a 4x4 grid of slots, meaning you start the game with an inventory of 16 slots total.

You can purchase additional bags, small and medium sized, at the Gem Shop (for Gems) or, on occasions, at the Player's Market (for Gold Coins). You can carry along 4 bags, regardless of their size, at a time. - Your Gold Coins and Gems Last are shown how many Gold Coins and Gems you have. Gold (Gold Coins) is the currency you earn by defeating and looting enemies, by completing Quests by undertaking other tasks while playing the game. You can earn Gold by selling loot (the items you find when looting a enemy's corpse) at NPC-Stores or by selling goods to other players at the Player's Market. You will need Gold to purchase items and Skills at NPC-Stores, as well as to purchase goods from other players at the Player's Market. Some other things in the game can only be accomplished by spending Gold too, like creating a new Guild and having a Blacksmith NPC smelt the Ores you find through mining. As you play the game further, reach higher levels and battle more powerful monsters, you will notice you can earn quite a bit of Gold. Even more quickly, you will realize Gold runs out even faster as you buy more powerful Equipment and Skills, especially if your aim is to buy the best and coolest items at the Player's Market (where prices for the best goods go up and down with the economy).

Gems are a virtual-currency unique to FO. Gems can be spent to buy powerful Items and Skills at the game's Gem Shop or other special NPC Stores. Sometimes you can purchase additional, exclusive features by spending Gems. As an example, you can purchase additional storage (Banking service) for 40 Gems, granting you the huge amount of over a hundred additional Item Slots for all of your storage needs. In addition of this, a few exclusive and elite, areas of the game can be accessed only by paying a Gem fee (needed one time only, after which you can access the area indefinitely). You're awarded your very first free 10 gems upon getting your character to level 11 while playing the game. Additional Gems can be purchased with real money or by completing Free Offers. This process varies depending on which website you play the game at. For instance, if you play on Facebook, you can purchase Gems using Credits (which are Facebook's own virtual-currency). You can complete Free Offers on Facebook to get Credits for free (which you can then use to buy Gems), or you can just choose to buy Facebook Credits with real money, if you wish so. Some FO players do sell Gems for gold though (in the form of Gem Notes), at the Player's Market. That means you can still avoid to use real money or complete offers, allowing you to trade your Gold Coins for Gems, although doing so usually means you are likely to spend a good sum of Gold to buy a small amount of Gems. Yeah, that's life guys. You can still play the game without having to buy Gems or spend real money, the game is not forcing you to buy Gems to enjoy it. =============================================================================== * #4. Game's Setting & Story * =============================================================================== FO doesn't really feature proper, rich and immersive lore and story. It is rather humor-filled (which shines through the game's old-style, 8-bit alike, pixelated and cartoon-ish graphics and the in-game NPC speech and item's and skill's descriptions). References to modern video-games and pop culture do abound. The main story line in FO revolves around the vicious organization known as "The Evil Army", made up for the most part of skeletons and undeads of various species, trying to take over the game's world. The player, by the mean of his hero character, explores the world, helping out various NPCs in their rather hilarious daily tasks (ie, helping a Farmer to "farm" his crop of living, blood-thirsty tomatoes) and slowly uncovers what's going on in the game's areas. As the game progresses, new friendly faces and cunning enemies alike are met, leading to a never-ending (as the game continues being developed, with new content being added over time) and fun grinding and questing experience through this cute and hilariously absurd world. =============================================================================== * #5. Walkthrough * =============================================================================== In this section, I will take you through the whole game. As previously stated, FO is still in Open Beta. The game is receiving content

updates, in the form of new areas (complete with new Quests, NPCs, Monsters, Skills and Items) and features on a regular basis. As an example, Guilds, Mining and Crafting only recently got implemented into the game. What this means is I won't be able to write down a complete, definitive Walkthrough for the game. I will just take you through all of the content which is currently available. I'll try and continue to add more as new content is being released during the game's development. The game currently features 6 different areas, meant for characters of progressively higher level: Noob Island (The Game's Starting area). Crab Coast Pirate Shores Cave of Some Return (available after a Gems purchase only) Swamp Grotto Mirabella Cove

In addition to this, a special free to play Halloween-themed area (featuring new monsters and items) was made playable for a limited time only. The area is supposed to make a return sometime around Halloween every year. =============================== * #5.0. Useful things to know * =============================== Before you jump straight into adventure, there are a few useful things you should be aware of in order to make your FO journey much more enjoyable. Of course feel free to skip over this section if you aren't new to the game, since I'm going to assume you know nothing about how to play FO in this section. By the way, chances are you may still find something useful to you even if you're not a complete noob, so it's up to you ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.0.1. Building your Character ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First, let's talk about how to grow your character. In FO the strengths and capabilities of your character are not determined by picking one among a set number of Player Classes, unlike many RPG games. Rather, as you gain Experience and hit higher Levels, you'll be awarded Skill Points you can spend to increase your character's Stats. You will start the game with 2 Skill Points to spend on the Stats of your choice. As I mentioned already, raising your Stats will have various effects on your character. I won't go into the nitty gritty details and the numbers involved with Stats raising here. You will find that kind of info in the "Your Character" section, later in this FAQ. So, how do you determine how you should spend your Skill Points? Well, it largely depends on what kind of character you would like to play. Also, your Skill Points distribution (together with your Skills selection and Equipment) is called a Build (since it effectively determines how you've built your character). You can find out more about Builds later in this FAQ. If you want your character to look and play like a Warrior, meaning you will prefer melee combat over anything else, the Stat you really want to be focused on is going to be STR.

STR increases the damage you do while using most melee weapons. Equipment which caters to Warriors are designed to deal more damage and giving your character the most Armor, making your character able to absorb more damage. The Skills you will be able to use are going to be mainly focused on those two aspects, making you deal even more damage and further raising your Armor rating. If you want to be the kind of cunning fighter who prefers to deal high damage before the enemy has a chance to do so himself, but who can't really stand a close-quarters fight for a prolonged time, you will probably want to play an Archer (other games call this kind of character a Rogue). In this case, your main Stat is going to be AGI. AGI characters don't relay on Armor as much as a Warrior does, although more of it will of course help you stay alive longer. Whether you choose to use Bows rather than one of the few melee weapons available to this kind of characters, AGI will add up to both your Crit % and Dodge %, so your best strategy will be taking down enemies with only a few powerful (and lucky!) hits while taking the least incoming damage. AGI Skills' mainly focus on dealing severe damage to your enemies and giving you a higher chance to score a powerful Critical Hit. If you want to play a Mage which relies on Spells for taking down his foes and keep himself alive, the Stat of your Choice is going to be INT. Mages' high INT not only makes them able to deal a higher damage while using wands and staffs designed for them, but also adds up to their Energy Points, meaning they will have a greater source of power to draw from to be able to cast their Spells for a prolonged lapse of time. Mages can often use Armors and other Defensive Equipment usually catered to Warriors for added Armor if they need it, but Equipment specially tailored for them focus on making their INT even higher. Regardless, a INT character's best tool to keep themselves alive is their ability to replenish their HP by using Healing Skills. Skills which require INT to be used revolve around dealing high damage, restoring HP and making people regenerate Energy Points more quickly. STA is a Stat useful to all kind of characters. More STA gives you additional HP and Armor, allowing your character to take more hits, basically making him tougher. You will need a higher STA to be able to equip powerful defensive items. A few weapons also have a STA requirement. However, STA isn't really the Stat you want to focus heavily on. The inherent bonus to Armor you gain by putting Skill Points into STA is only little when compared to that you get when equipping your character with stronger Armors and defensive items. You may still want to spend a few more points on STA if you find a hard time surviving battles though. Of course these are only guidelines, feel free to develop your character however you see fit. It is YOUR character after all. Refer to the Builds section later in this FAQ if you want to know more about different ways to spend your Skill Points to achieve different results and fulfill certain needs. It is still important you have at least a vague idea about what kind of character you want to play, as once you've spent your Skill Points you won't be able to change your mind freely. You can reset the Skill Points you earned and spend them in a different way in the Character & Equipment Window, but only by paying 10 Gems. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.0.2. Items, Equipment and Over-Equipping ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The other important factor in how you build your character, Equipment (both weapons and other items you can wear), usually come with Stats Requirements you need to fulfill in order for you to equip your character with. An important thing regarding Weapons is that the amount of damage you deal in combat is influenced by a specific Stat, depending on the Weapon's Stats Requirements (this is reflected by the ATK Power rating in your Character & Equipment Window). If you're confused, just look at the weapon's description by hovering over its Icon: the Stat which features the Highest Stat Requirement is the one which adds up to the damage when using that weapon (this is called the Main Stat, so you get STR Weapons, AGI weapons and INT Weapons accordingly. If a weapons doesn't feature any Stat Requirement, the highest among your Stats will be used instead (this is true for a few weapons only). Melee weapons such as Swords, Axes, Hammers and a few other are usually STR weapons. Ranged Weapons such as Bows and a few melee weapons (some Swords and Polearms) are AGI weapons. Magical weapons such as Wands and some Staves are INT weapons. The last very important thing to know about Equipment regards a concept known as Over Equipping. The idea behind it is that "you only need to meet the Stat requirements of a given Item to equip it, not to use it". I guess this will become much clearer as you play the game and mess a bit around with your equipment, but here's a simple example. Suppose you found a Body Armor which requires 30 STA to be equipped, but your character only has 28 STA, so you're not able to equip it until you raise your STA further. But, if you have another item which grants you a +2 or higher STA bonus, say a Small Ring of Endurance, what you can do is the following: - first equip your character with the Ring of Endurance. - the ring grants +2 to your STA, so your total STA sums up to 30. - you're now able to equip the Armor, since you've fulfilled its requirements. Here comes the important part: - you're free to take the Small Ring of Endurance away, and so equip a different ring in its place Since you've already equipped yourself with the Armor, it doesn't matter if you don't meet its Stats Requirements AFTER you've equipped it, you will still be wearing it and be granted its properties (unless of course, you unequip the Armor). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.0.3. Skills and using Buffs properly ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other than Equipment, Skills is what really determines "what's your style". Skills are a way for you to put to practical use your Energy Points. By using Skills you can deal additional damage to enemies, heal HP you've lost while fighting and make yourself more powerful in several ways for a limited time by the use of Buffs.

Buffs are a very important concept in FO and will help you greatly at at taking your enemies down and keep yourself alive longer. A Buff Skill is a Skill you cast once and whose effects remain active on your character as long as a set amount of time is not yet elapsed. Active Buffs are displayed by their respective icons under your Character's Box at the Top-Left corner of the game's screen. Your character can only have a max of five active buffs being casted on himself at any given time. Other Buffs being casted on him won't sort any effect as long as one of your Active Buffs had not run out (or you cancelled it yourself by double-clicking on its icon). If you want your character to be as effective as possible, be sure to have your best Buffs being cast on him at all times. Take notice that you are allowed to have multiple Buffs at the same time AS LONG AS YOU CAST DIFFERENT RANKS OF THOSE. Casting the same exact Buff (same Skill, same Rank) on your character or on another's which have that Buff already Active will simply replenish its full time duration. A popular thing which players do to make their characters more effective in combat, and take on enemies they would otherwise have a harder time fighting, is to KINDLY ask higher level players to cast their (much more powerful) buffs on them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.0.4. Joining a Party is good ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another wise choice, if you're experiencing a hard time in the game or if you simply want to have fun with friends, is to Party Up with other players on the server. You can have a Party of up to 3 people. While in a party, the XP and Gold Coins reward you gain by killing enemies and looting their corpses will be evenly distributed between the Party Members. The faster player to click on a corpse will still be able to take the chance to get any item in the loot though. It is very impolite to try and grab all of the loot you find for yourself at the other Party Members' expense, so be sure to leave your companions their fair share of the loot and ask them if their in need for a specific item of some value you're to find. Partying up is about having fun and collaboration, so don't be mean. Whoa, that was some fairly long list of hints and advices. Hope it'll help you out in your adventure. Prepare yourself, as you'll now be entering the funny world of FO! ===================== * #5.1. Noob Island * ===================== Noob Island is a grassy, green island. The Island used to be a nice and lovely place to live in, until recently the Evil Army moved to take over its helpless denizens. - Monsters to be found in this Area: Scarecrab, Soft Shelled Crab, Turniphead, Pumpkinhead, Dwarf Skele, Skele, Armed Skele, Angry Skele, Smallish Skele, Intern of Evil, Recruit of Evil, Giant Skele, Evil Swordsman, Evil Guard, Evil McBadguy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.1.1. Getting yourself acquainted with the game (Your first Quest) ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As soon as you start the game you will find yourself on the South-Western shore of Noob Island, completely naked and armed with only a pointy stick. Fisherman Gorton will immediately talk to you, instructing on the basics of fighting and giving out to you your very first quest in the world of FO (Take the Hay out of it). All you'll have to do is to take down one of the harmless Scarecrabs (yes, you get Scarecrabs in place of Scarecrows in FO, just so you can immediately get a feel of the game right from the start ^_^). Let's take some of the game's basics out. To move around the map, just click on the spot you wish your character to move to. You will notice your mouse typical mouse pointer is a nice blue arrow. If the cursor happens to change to a blue arrow which has a red bar over it, it means you're pointing over a spot your character cannot currently get to. There's no path-finding algorithm in FO, so you will have to manually instruct your character to move around obstacles, as he will always try to move on a straight line. Some regions of the map are simply unreachable, so just look around, and don't get mad if you find you're not able to go somewhere, chances are you simply can't. Select one of the nearby Scarecrabs by clicking on it once. A red circle will appear under it. If you hover the Scarecrab, you will notice the cursor has changed to a Red Sword: this means you will begin to attack the enemy if you click again on it. Click onto the selected Scarecrab again. You shall immediately notice a line going from your character to the enemy has appeared. That means you're actively engaging the enemy and your character will immediately start pounding on him as soon as he's sufficiently close to do so. You start the game with a melee weapon (pointy stick). Yeah, I know it sucks, you will find better weapons and equipment along the way. What's important is, as you're wielding a melee weapon, your character will automatically walk up at the enemy's location as soon as you tell him to attack it. The line will turn from grey (too far to attack) to red (close enough to attack). The Scarecrab is harmless and silly, so it won't fight you back. Other kinds of enemies in the game will not attack you unless you do so first (know as Peaceful monsters). Others, more dangerous monsters will chase and try to beat the crap out you to the best of their capability. Fear not, as monsters in this area are generally little if at all dangerous, given enough caution is being used. Once the Scarecrab's health reaches 0 it is done, you will earn a bit of XP (killing a Scarecrab will earn you 50 XP) and its corpse (if what remains of a whacked down Scarecrab can be called a corpse) will fall on the ground. Click on the Scarecrab's corpse to loot it. By doing so, you will gain some gold coins. Scarecrabs do not carry around any items for you to loot, but you may have a chance of finding some valuable items (weapons, potions, equipment or junk only good to be sold for some gold coins). Try to always loot the corpses of enemies you take down, as corpses quickly disappear after a little time if not looted. You won't gain any gold coins or

items from killing monsters if you don't loot their corpses. Know you can't loot corpses of enemies killed by other players, unless those players are in your group. More about creating and joining a group later in this FAQ. Also, you should have noticed when you killed the Scarecrab, some yellow text appeared on the screen, saying something like "1/1 Scarecrabs. Quest Completed". After you killed the Scarecrab, talk with Fishman Gorton again by clicking on him. You may have noticed the White Question Mark over his head (meaning he's waiting for you to complete a quest) turned into a Yellow One (meaning you completed the quest and he's waiting to give you out a quest reward) He will award you with 25 XP and 5 Gold Coins upon completing your first quest. He will also tell you to come back for more. A Yellow Exclamation Mark is over his head now (meaning he's waiting for you to talk to him. Can you see the pattern being used here?). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.1.2. Soft Shelled Crabs (Using Skills and managing Inventory) ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Talk to Gorton Again. He will propose to you another quest (The Nudening), this time to make you take back your clothes. All you'll have to do is to kill 5 Soft Shelled Crabs which, coincidentally, are just around where you are. This gives us a nice chance to go over some of the basics about using your skills and taking a look at your character's Info Box. First, select a Soft Shelled Crab like you did with the Scarecrab. Then, click on it to start attacking it. You will immediately notice, this time, the Crab will actually fight you back. Yellow numbers will appear over your head, meaning the crab's hitting you and dealing damage which is subtracting the displayed numbers from your Health Points. Soft Shelled Crabs are weak though, so you will take it down quickly by only taking small damage. Let's use some of our Skills now. Attack another Soft Shelled Crab and (as soon as the line going from your character to the crab appears) click on the "Sucker Punch" Skill's icon, located down in your Skills Hotbar. Alternatively, you can just press the "1" key on your keyboard (the current hot-key for the Sucker Punch Skill). You will notice a bluish bar appearing over your character's head (this is called a Casting Bar), quickly filling up. As soon as the bar fills up, the Skill is being executed, the enemy takes some damage and a few Points are subtracted from your character's Energy Points. You can't cast more skills while the Casting Bar is filling up but if you have good timing (and enough Energy Points) you can spam your skills very quickly. You can only cast the Sucker Punch Skill while you're actively attacking an enemy. Most Attack Skills (Skills which deal damage to enemies) work this way. Continue taking down Soft Shelled Crabs this way. Oh noes! We've been taking damage and our Health is dropping. Don't Panic. You may have already noticed sometimes some green and blue numbers appear over your character's head when you're standing doing nothing, or walking around.

When you're not actively attacking an enemy (no line running from your character to a monster) you will slowly regenerate your HPs and Energy Points. In addition to this, if your health is running dangerously low during a fight or you simply want to regen more health more quickly, you can use a Healing Skill. Click on the "Lick Your Wounds" Skill's Icon down in your Skills bar or press the "2" key on your keyboard (the current hot-key for the Lick Your Wounds Skill). You will notice the Casting Bar appears and quickly fills up when this skill is casted as well. A small amount of your character's HPs will be restored. Remember you can use Lick Your Wounds and other Healing Skills while in combat. You don't need to first select your own character when casting Not-Attack Skills (like Lick Your Wounds). Even if you're attacking an enemy and it's selected while you cast Lick Your Wounds, the Skill will still heal your HPs instead of the enemy's. If you instead want to cast Lick Your Wounds, or any other Not-Attack Skill on another player, though, you will first have to select the player's character in order for you to be able to cast the skill him. Enough talk. Kill your 5 Soft Shelled Crabs if you didn't already and go back to Fishman Gorton and talk to him. You will be awarded 200 XP, 10 Gold Coins, and a few items: "Tighty Off-Whities", "Dirty Undershirt" and a "Note to little girl". As it turns out, dear Gorton gently robbed you of all of your belongings while you were unconscious laying on the shore. Such a nice old geezer, isn't it? Luckily enough, he didn't manage to sell at least your pants and undershirt, so equip those right along by opening your inventory (click on your Bag's Icon, at the bottom-right, or press the "B" key on your keyboard) and double-clicking on the item's icons. You can open your character's Window at anytime by clicking on its icon or by pressing the "C" key on your keyboard, to look what are your currently equipped items (not much, I know), your Stats and more. The nice Fisherman also gave us one last task, to take the note to his niece. You will easily find her slightly to the North of where you are. Walk that direction a few steps and you'll see a House. Talk to the little Girl. You will earn 100 XP and 10 Gold Coins for bringing the Groto's Note to Nicole (easy enough). Nicole will point out to you how to open your bag, your character's Window and equip stuff. Do as she says and talk to her again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.1.3 Farming Turnips ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicole will offer you another Quest (Little Girl Hungry). Accept it. Before doing anything else, talk to the other man with another Yellow Exclamation Mark. Farmer Ted will tell you how he used to grow delicious Turnips. Unfortunately a bloody battle happened right on his little plot and now all which comes out of his dirt are nasty Turnipheads. He will ask to take down 10 Turnipheads for him. Accept this quest as well. Also, before moving on, you may want to check with Timmeh (a little brat, Ted's son actually) who is slightly to the East from Ted's Farm, near the Woods.

He sells junk equipment only actually. I wouldn't spend the few coins you have at this point on those, as you will be able to find much better stuff at the NPC shops you will find in town. Move to the nearby Turnipheads wandering just on Ted's plot and take down 10 of them. Remember to use Lick Your Wounds to keep yourself healed and don't forget to loot the corpses. Turnipheads, in fact, do drop the Turnips you need to complete the Quest Nicole gave you. Once you've killed 10 Turnipheads and collected 5 Turnips come back and talk to the two NPCs. Nicole will take the 5 Turnips (you didn't have any use for them anyway, trust me) and will award you 200 XP and 5 Gold Coins. Ted will thank you and reward you with 200 XP and 10 Gold Coins and a "Barrel Lid". The Barrel Lid can actually be equipped as a shield. Do so if you need one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.1.4. Noobville ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ted will also ask you to deliver a letter to Captain Bill, who can be located to the near town to the North. Accept the Quest (Letter For Bill). Walk North to reach Noobville. Sal the Shopkeeper sells some basic equipment worth your attention. Know the shirts he sells for only 1 Gem might look fancy at first, but those are pretty useless equipment. Buy Shirts only if you need those for look, as they find little use in the actual game. North-East of Sal's you will find the Hero Armor Shop, selling Gem Items only. The Space Marine Stuff is cheap but not that much great (these are still powerful items at your current low level). I wouldn't really spend Gems on those items. The other items are all very powerful (and more expensive). If you chose to play an Archer/AGI class, the Sammy Set is for you (greatly enhances your AGI Stat). If you chose to play a Mage/INT class, the Dark Mage Set is for you (greatly enhances your INT Stat). If you chose to play a Warrior/STR class the War set is for you (greatly enhances your STR Stat). That is if you can afford to buy those Gems. All of this items will be available for you to purchase in the game's Gem Shop as well, so you won't need to backtrack to Noobville if you ever make up your mind for a purchase at a later time. You may be guessing "How do I get those Gems?". Check the FAQ section to find out. Gem items are (usually) way more power full than the normal stuff you will find in the game until you reach much higher levels. If you're the kind of guy who doesn't disregard spending a few bucks on a game he likes you may actually want to purchase a bunch of Gems (you will also support this free game). You will be able to get Gems by paying with Gold Coins as well on the Player Run Market later in the game. Next, East of the Hero Armor Shop, is the Skill Trainer Miyagi Shop. Here you

can learn the following Skills, for a price: - Nerd Rage - Rank 1 (Buff) Boosts your ATK Power for a limited time, making you deal more damage as you fight. - L33t Skillz - Rank 1 (Buff) Boosts your Crit % for a limited time, making your chance to land a critical hit more likely. - Self-Motivated - Rank 1 (Buff) You will regen a small amount of additional Energy Points for a short amount of time. - Lick Your Wounds - Rank 2 (Healing Skill) Heals you or another player for a small amount of HPs. - Thick Skin - Rank 1 (Buff) Grants you additional Armor for a long amount of time. - Boom! Headshot! (Attack) Deals a small amount of damage to an enemy. - Fireball - Rank 1 (Attack) Deals a small amount of damage to an enemy. - Left Hook - Rank 1 (Attack) Deals a tiny amount of damage to an enemy. - Noob Island Teleport (Teleport) Instantly teleports you back to Noobville. You won't probably meet the requirements for these Skills as the first time you reach this shop, nor you won't be able to pay the price for them. As you earn more levels and gold, come back to Miyagi's to learn the ones which cater most to your character. Also, as a general advice, don't try to be a jack of all trades (especially if you're new to the game), but stick with a main stat (of course spending points so that you can equip better armors too) and choose the skills which work best with your character. Back to the action. Talk to Captain Bill to give him Ted's letter and complete the Quest. You will earn 100 XP and 20 Gold Coins. As it turns out a mysterious enemy is attacking! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.1.5. Something's not right around town ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When talking to Captain Bill you will be automatically given a new Quest (Find the Scout), do exactly as Bill said. Move East past the Dwarf Skeles and walk up two ramps. East on the ledge you will find Scout Finch, talk to him. Finch already smelled something wasn't alright a long time ago, but no one believed him. Seems like he now has proof. He will give you an "Evil Army Membership Card". You will also gain 225 XP and 20 Gold Coins. You've just taken another Quest (Show Your ID). Go back the Evil Army Membership Card to Captain Bill in Noobville. As you talk to Captain Bill again, he will award you 300 XP and 30 gold coins for yet another easy Quest. He will also give you a "License to Kill" (a

Trinket you can equip in one of your Item Slots). Equip it as soon as you meet the level requirements for it. Turns out the Evil Army is on the move to find more recruits, unleashing troubles around the place in the process. Bad stuff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.1.6. Taking Skeles down ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now talk to Guardsman Phil, who's right where Captain Bill is. He will ask you to take down 10 Dwarf Skeles, which are East just outside of the Town's walls. It's another quest, just accept it and go take down 10 of those. Dwarf Skeles are a bit more though than the the Turnipheads you fought awhile back. They're Peaceful monsters though, meaning they will attack you only if you do so first. Just be sure your Health doesn't fall too low and, in case both your HPs and Energy are low, just rest a few seconds for you to regen before fighting more monsters. As you're done killing Dwarf Skeles, go back to Town and talk to Phil again. He will give you more XP and 15 Gold Coins for completing the Quest. Talk to Phil right away for a second time, as he has another Quest for you (Right to Boney Arms). He needs you to take down 5 Armed Skeles, which you can find up on a Hill to the South-East. We will take care of those Armed Skeles in a while. Instead, Exit Town again by the East and go South past the Dwarf Skeles. You will see regular Skeles, take a few more steps to the South and you will see a small house with a lady (actually a witch) and another guardsman standing outside. Talk to the Witch. Lori Formergoth will tell you she needs 5 skulls to prepare a spell. Of course another Quest (Witch's Brew). Accept it and go slay some Skeles nearby until you successfully loot 5 skulls. These aren't particularly dangerous either, just assure your Health doesn't run too low. Once you've collected the Skulls, talk again to Lori. She will give you a nice reward of 600 XP and 25 Gold Coins. She doesn't sound like she enjoys this game too much lol. She looks like she has another quest ready for you. Let's ignore her for a while and go back to where we were left with the Armed Skeles. From Lori's House, move right to the East. You will find another ramp, leading onto a Hill. Found them! Take down 5 Armed Skeles. This is a slightly harder fight. Keep yourself healed and be prepared to run if things don't turn too good for you. Once you killed 5 of those just backtrack to town and meet Guardsman Phil Again. His reward for completing the quest is 250 XP and 35 Gold Coins, not bad. Phil's wondering who's arming the Skeles and why. The guy's gotta be not so smart, he's a lowly Guardsman after all, since we already have been told by Captain Bill that The Evil Army is recruiting. Just leave him alone, poor guy. You should have reached level 5 by now. You may have noticed a lot of people have quests for you to take all of a sudden. Don't drool yourself, as this is a good time to pay a visit to Miyagi and see if he has some Skill we can now learn and put to good use. Remember that after you learn a new Skill, you will

have to first drag it from your Skill Book Window (Icon to be found at the top of the game's screen, identified by a big "S") to your Skills Hotbar to be able to effectively cast it on anything. Your Gold should currently still be very low. Did you remember to sell all of the useless stuff you looted from monsters up 'til now? Take a look and see if you happen to have some useful weapon and piece of equipment among that junk too. In case, equip it. Okay, now we feel all mighty and pumped up, so let's go take more jobs done. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.1.7. Farm Work ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Move the Western side of Noobville and talk to a granny which is standing near a bunch of Domesticated Ogre. She will ask you to accept another Quest for her (Dead (Pumpkin) Rising), you will have to take down 5 Pumpkinheads in the fields North of where she's standing. Before you crush any vegetable, go a little bit further to talk to Farmer Gunter, who needs you to kill 10 of those same pumpkins. After you accept his quest it's time for pumpkin-mash. Kill 10 Pumpkinheads (completing both quests in the process). Gunter will reward you with 200 XP and 30 Gold Coins, while the Old Lady McGee will give out 500 XP and 15 Coins. On top of that, she's just another quest for you, she wants you to kill a Domesticated Ogre. I honestly can't see a reason to take down one of those things, given they are just steps away from you and much weaker than the eye could initially tell. Take a Domesticated Ogre down and talk to Old Lady McGee again. She will pay you with another 600 XP and 20 Gold Coins for completing the task. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.1.8. Taking care of more Skeles and Ogres ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go back to Noobville Eastern part, near the town's walls. Talk to General Unrest (he's right where Captain Bill and Guardsman Phil are). He will give you a Quest (The Annoying Skeles) to kill 10 Skeles. Not exactly thrilling, but since we're at it... Proceed outside of the town's walls and go South where the Skeles are. Take down 10 of them. You will have a much easier time with the Skeles this time around. Go back to Noobville and talk with General Unrest to complete the Quest. Despite the ridiculously easy task, Unrest will give you a good amount of XP, 15 Gold Coins and a Dull Wooden Sword (which, depending on your character's Stats and level, may or may not be of any use to you). Now, head back to where the Witch House is. Lori will ask you to take one Giant Skull from the corpse of freaking, huge, Giant Skele (Giant Skele Skull Quest). Can you sense something nasty? Right. That's not all: Guardsman Paul will tell you about the troubles he got with a group of nasty very Angry Skeles. He wants you to kill 10 of those for him (Angry Angry Skeles Quest). Maybe he will pretend he killed those himself to General Unrest and be all cocky about it, knowing how smart guardsmen are in this game...).

Accept both of the Quests of course. Head South and be very careful not to get too much near to the Angry Skeles. Those are Aggressive Monsters (the very first exemplar you're to meet during your journey, in fact). If you experienced taking on one monster at a time could have been proved to be not exactly a piece of cake previously, you won't like these guys much. Aggressive Monsters (like the Angry Skeles), unlike Peaceful ones, will attack you as soon as you come sufficiently close to them, entering their Aggro Zone. You will notice when this happens, since the monster will immediately walk up to you instead of caring for his own doings. What you don't want to happen is your character going straight into a bunch of them, as this will result in many monsters attacking you at once. Rather, you should try to engage only one at a time and deal with it without alerting his unpleasant friends. Bottom line, if you find yourself surrounded and in a bad spot, just run-back to a safer zone. Monsters will stop chasing you as soon as you move sufficiently far away from them. While taking down the Angry Skeles, try to move to the East, maintaining your character as close to the woods as possible. This way, you should safely reach the spot on the shore where the Giant Skeles are. Those guys do not seem much friendly either, isn't it? That's your lucky day, as Giant Skeles are Peaceful Monsters. Of course they will start pounding you hard as soon as you engage, and they take a substantial number of hits to fall. Just keep casting Lick Your Wounds on you until the mountain of bones dies and you shall be fine. Be sure to kill Gian Skeles until you're able to loot that Giant Skull you need for the Quest (this usually happens at the first try). Once you've got the Skull, make your way out of the Angry Skeles. Remember you Need to take down 10 Angry Skeles to complete the other Quest. Go back to the Witch's house. Lori will tell you she doesn't really need the Giant Skull anymore (for serious B... Witch?). She will pay you with 400 XP nonetheless, and will give you a Small Ring of Endurance as well (which gives you +2 to STA, if you can equip it). Guardsman Paul will instead reward you with a WHOOPING 800 XP and 50 coins. Such a nice guy Paul is. Also, if you talk to him again, he will give you another Quest (What's that smell?). Accept it, you'll have to take out 5 Smallish Ogres, up on the Hill where Armed Skeles were. Go East and up the ramp to the Hill. North of the armed Skeles you'll find the Smallish Ogres. Those are a bit less friendly than their Domesticated counterpart. Yet if you managed to take down the Giant Skeles, these won't pose a big threat to you, regardless of their high HP. Go back to Guardsman Paul once you're done killing ogres. He will be more than happy to reward you with another nice amount of XP and 60 Gold coins. This is a good time to go back one last time to Noobville to pay a visit to Miyagi's, as there's not much for you to do anymore there. You should check if you can afford to buy some useful Skills you may need. I don't advice to spend more gold on equipment here (if you actually ever did), as a better shop is to be found only a short way ahead of you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~ #5.1.9. Enemy at the gates ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After you're done with everything concerning setting up your character's Skills, Stats and Equipment, it's time to finally depart for a long and exciting trip which will lead you to new fields and greater adventures. From Noobville, head South-East, past the Dwarf Skeles, Skeles and the ramp to the Hill where Armed Skeles and Smallish Ogres are. You will soon reach a wooden wall with a watch-post and a few people standing there. You will finally found some decent equipment (both defensive and weapons) at Salesman Wynn Shop. It won't come cheap though. This all makes sense, as the guys here are watching over what seems to be the real enemy, Noobville is far away, gas prices are going higher and higher, etc. Talk to Guardsman Warren. He will say the General Unrest wants more proof of the Evil Army's presence in the zone. We just had a scratch telling us the General wasn't really a genius after all. Accept his Quest (The Evil Army) and you will have to gather 5 Evil Army Enlistment Cards back to him. This Evil Army 'oughta be some serious stuff if they require recruits to carry an enlistment card along just to join the ranks. You will find Recruits of Evil and Interns of Evil just past the wooden blockade. Both have a chance to drop the Cards you need, prepare to take down quite some of those guys. Be aware that the Interns (the bluish ones) are Peaceful, while the Recruits (the reddish ones with a pon on their cap) are Aggressive. These guys don't otherwise pose a serious threat to you, so just be cool and avoid getting surrounded by many of them. Once you've got your 5 Evil Army Enlistment Cards go to Warren. He'll award you 300 XP and 60 Gold coins for your troubles. He has another Quest for you (Thinning the Ranks) if you talk to him once more. You'll have to kill 5 Intern of Evil this time. Do it and come back for another reward: 600 XP and 65 Gold Coins. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.1.10 The Evil Army ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now talk to the man on top of the watch-post. Guard Captain Pete will let you know even scarier members of the Evil Army are gathering. He wants you to kill 5 Evil Swordsmen for him. Accept the Quest. Go North past the Evil Army recruits, you will pass through a choke surrounded by tree-topped hills. Evil Swordsmen will be waiting for you there. These are slightly more dangerous than the enemies you just fought. Be cautious as they are Aggressive and come in high numbers. Go back to Captain Pete for 750 XP and 60 gold coins. Talk to him again for Noob Island last Quest (Evil McBadguy). Pete will let you know he was able to spot the vicious Evil McBadguy further behind the enemy lines. He of course wishes you to take the big baddie down once and for all. Go North past the Evil Swordsmen. You can walk by their side if you don't wish to fight more of them. Continue on the path, past a group of trees and you

will meet a group Evil Guards. These are Peaceful Monsters, less threatening than Evil Swordsmen. You don't need to fight them, although they do have a chance to drop some valuable loot. Be aware that a couple Evil Swordsmen do hide among the Guards, so don't let them fool you and catch you by surprise. Evil McBadguy is right past the group of guards, next to the bridge. He won't attack you on sight, since he's Peaceful (which all in all is just hilarious). Prepare yourself for a harsh fight. McBadguy doesn't really take extremely long to fall but he will hit you hard in return. Use everything you've got and this battle should go smoothly, given you're not equipped with complete crap and you can put your Skills to good use. Congratz on Taking down Noob Island's local Boss. Take a moment to contemplate your achievement. Now be aware that you've got a long way in front of you and you're still a big noob in the game. Sorry for smacking the crude truth in your face, but it's for your own good :P Go back to Guard Captain Pete for your reward, a WHOOPING 900 XP and 100 Gold Coins. Thanks pal, that was appreciated. He will also tell you Crab Coast (the next game area) is to be found across the wooden bridge where McBadguy was, waiting for you with more stuff to do and its Hubtown. Yes, that's the best line the devs came out with for such a climatic moment in the game. I guess they just don't really like Guards at all. Head North once again and cross the wooden bridge, Crab Coast is waiting for you. ===================== * #5.2. Crab Coast * ===================== Crab Coast's environment and look highly resembles that of Noob Island, with green, grassy lands rich of woods dominating it. Crab Coast is a peninsular region. The Southern coast is populated by crabs of various species. A dock from which you can travel to Pirates Shore can be found on the coast's Western end. Norther in the mainland lies the hub town for this area, known by the original name of Hubtown, one of the more highly populated spots of FO's world. A few Farms are also located here. The Western region of the area is occupied by hills, which are the domain of spiders and other nasty creatures. The entrance to the Cave of Some Return is located here too. The Eastern lands of Crab Coast features lakes and a river. The entrance to Swamp Grotto can be found here, and a path to the East will lead you to Mirabella Cove. - Monsters to be found in this area: Spicy Red Crab, Zombie Crab, Rock Crab, Royal Purple Crab, King Crab, Killer Tomato, Zombeet, Baby Dirt Spider, Yellow Slime, Failed Spider Hunter, Dirt Spider, Lucky Skull Spider, Skele Chop, Skele Block, Green Slime, Skelestab, Skeleguard, Skele Elite, Skele Champion ------------------------------As you walk across the wooden bridge you will enter Crab Coast. The very first thing you will notice as you take a few steps along the shore is the heavy presence of all sorts of crabs. At least you now know why the region's being called this way. Talk to Fisherman Santiago with no fear. He won't steal your clothes as soon as

you're distracted by something else. In fact, all he seems to care for is something yummy to fill his belly with. He will offer to you a Quest (Peanut Butter Jelly Time) to gather 10 blobs of Royal Crab Jelly, accept it. Head West along the shore ignoring all the crabs there. You may have noticed this already, but monsters won't be able to hit you as long as you walk without stopping, no matter if they're Aggressive or not. You will stumble upon a little hill with a brat standing on it. Talk to Little Jimmy. It seems some farmer by the name Clooney needs some tasty Spicy Meat to cook delicious Manhattan Crab Chowder. Accept the Quest (Crab meat for Little Jimmy). Spicy Red Crabs abound on the shore, as you may have noticed. Kill a few of those nearby until you've gathered 10 Spicy Crab Meat Chunks. Spicy Red Crabs, unlike Rock and Zombie Crabs, are Aggressive, although weak, so pay the needed attention. Little Jimmy will reward you with 360 XP and a miser 10 Gold Coins as soon as you talk to him. He will hand a Bag o' Crab Meat he wants you to deliver to Farmer Otis, another Quest (That's a Spicy Crabmeat!). Little Jimmy also have another Quest (Undeath isn't just for people) for you if you talk to him again, to kill 6 Zombie Crabs. Accept it right along. It is now time to gather those 10 Royal Crab Jellies for Fisherman Santiago. Move slightly West from where Jimmy is and you will immediately notice a bunch of purple crabs surrounding a big crowned crab. You'll deal with him in a while, so just kill enough Royal Purple Crabs to collect the 10 Jellies you need. Those are aggressive just like Spicy Red Crabs, but tougher to deal with, so be careful. Move close enough to one of them to pull it out of the group, if necessary. Once you're done gathering Jellies, backtrack to the East along the shore. As you go to Fisherman Santiago, take the time to kill 6 Zombie Crabs along the way. Those are located slightly to the North, near Spicy Red and Rock Crabs. Zombie Crabs have a lot of HP, but are easy to take down otherwise. Also they're Peaceful monsters, so get close to them with no fear. Santiago will give 350 XP and 50 Gold Coins in exchange for your 10 Royal Crab Jellies. He will also you the path to Hilltown is the one leading North from where Royal Purple Crabs Are. He probably doesn't like going there often, since the town's name's Hubtown. Only a Fishman, after all. Talk to him again and he will offer to you a quest to kill the crowned crown (Kill the King Crab), for no apparent reason. Accept it of course. Head West once again (lots of back and forth action). Talk to Little Jimmy again to get your reward for killing the Zombie Crabs (do it now, if you didn't). You'll gain 450 XP for your effort, but no Coins (he's only a little brat with no money, what else did you expect?). Go West at the Royal Purple Crabs place. Depending on your level and equipment this may prove to be the very first hard task in your FO journey. King Crab has plenty of HP, he's Peaceful but will hit you moderately hard and Royal Purple Crabs won't be shy about getting on you if they are close enough. Your best tactic with taking on the king of all crabs is to try and catch him alone. Killing a few among his escort may not be a smart choice, as they will likely respawn fast enough to get you while you're fighting their king, so don't think twice about running away if stuff doesn't seem to go well for you. Remember you can always wait to get to a higher level (you should be lvl 8 if you followed this guide step-by-step) to complete this quest. But we hate

waiting, isn't it? You can of course ask fellow players to buff you with more powerful Skills you're capable of (mean) or search for a group (that's team-work in action!): just type "anybody willing to help me with the King Crab quest?" in the public chat and someone will come at your rescue in no time (given you're not playing on an empty server). Chances are you will find players of around your level going for the King Crab too, so don't be afraid to ask them to party up (killing the guy while in a party will make all of the group's members complete the quest). If you manage to kill the King Crab, go back one last time and talk to Fisherman Santiago once again. He will award a nice amount of XP and 30 Gold Coins for taking the King Crab down. He will also give a Ring of Crabbiness to you as a thank you gift. It's a pretty poor ring, to be honest, but you may want to equip it if you happen to use a STR weapon (it gives you +2 STR and +50 Armor in exchange for -2 INT). Also, this is the only way (apart from buying it on the Market later, of course) for you to complete your useless Crab Armor Set, if you're the "I want to collect everything" kind of person. You're finally done with crabs! From where the King and Royal Purple Crabs are, head North. You'll notice a dock with a nasty-looking, one-eyed guy standing on it. I will offer to take you to Pirate Shores if you talk to him, but only if you're at least level 12 (chances are you won't). Ignore him and walk the path. You'll walk between a hill and woods until you finally enter Hubtown. If you play on a higly populated server, the town's square will likely choke-full with fellow FO players. Don't be shy to take your time and relax while chatting with the people there, as the local community's very nice and fun and more than willing to help out noobs like you xD. Also, you'll probably spot the most bizarre and fun looking people around here, as vanity never is a scarce good in FO. If you spot a guy by the name Bango, be sure to say him "Hi!", as you'd have just met the author of this very guide! Enough talk already. Right West of Hubtown's central plaza can be found the Cosmetic Surgery NPC (he looks like a barber, sorta), where you can change your character's appearance by paying 10 Gems, if you ever wish so. In clock-wise order, you will be able to find all kinds of useful equipments and goods at Shopkeep Gil Shop (stuff for archers and mages, potions) and Blacksmith Mike Shop (all which a Warrior needs). Zutroy Who Holds Stuff will offer to hold your stuff good, but only if you pay 40 Gems to him: this mainly is the Bank guy NPC, by talking to you will be able to access and manage your banking storage. If you ever get serious about FO you will want to pay those 40 gems, trust me (storage space exceeds 100 item slots, expandable several times by paying additional Gem fees if you ever need really freaking huge storing space). Continuing our nice tour, a strangely placed little skele, by the name Skinny. You can create your very own, coolest-among-the-coolests Guild by talking to him. Unfortunately, it's a toy which would cost 1,000,000 Gold Coins to you (yes, you did count six freaking zeroes there), so I won't lose much time on this (refer to the Guilds section if you want to know more about this) Next, the real attraction for all who take their first step into Hubtown, we have (drum-roll please) the Market guy. By talking to him, the Market interface will show up. By "the Market", I do refer to "the Player-run Market" I've already mentioned many times up to this point in this guide. At the Market, you'll have very high chances to buy almost every item you could ever need, put on sale by other FO players just like you. Basic stuff usually go cheap (cheaper than what you can buy at NPC Shops), while the most powerful

and popular items' prices easily reach mind-boggling heights. The very good, once-in-a-lifetime deal is always behind the corner though. Under the Browse tab, you're able to search among the countless player's listings for items you may need/wish to buy. Using the menu on the right, the search fields and ordering drop-down lists, you can filter the listings however you see fit. Under the Listings tab, you can post put your own items on sale for other players to (hopefully) buy. I won't go over all of the details about the Market and the economy game here, as you'll likely learn yourself while playing with it over time. Do refer to the Market section in this guide to know more about the Market System. Next to the Market, at its right, can be found Shopkeep Boshed Shop. It holds various Gem items, along gem notes. Items which can be purchased aren't really useful as fighting gear, rather they are funny-looking items to satisfy your vanity-needs, in case all you want is to show how cool you are on top of all of the other players. South-East of the plaza, Skill Trainer Remo Shop wraps up the list of Hubtown list of most important NPC shops. A good deal of very useful Skills can be purchased here for both Gold Coins and Gems. You will likely want to pay a visit here, as soon as you hit the Level and Stats requirements for skills you need. Skill Trainer Remo will be more than willing to teach you the following Skills: - Thick Skin - Rank 2 (Buff) Grants you more additional Armor for a long amount of time. - Twilightning Bolt - Rank 1 (Attack) Deals a small amount of damage to an enemy while healing you for the same amount. - L33t Skillz - Rank 2 (Buff) Boosts your Crit % and ATK Power for a limited time. - Self-Motivated - Rank 2 (Buff) You will regen more additional Energy Points for a short amount of time. - Nerd Rage - Rank 2 (Buff) Boosts your ATK Power for a limited time, making you deal more damage as you fight. - Fireball - Rank 2 (Attack) Deals a good amount of damage to an enemy. - Feeling Crabby (Morph) Morphs you in a Crab for a short amount of time. Your Armor will also be boosted. - Noob Island Teleport (Teleport) Instantly teleports you back to Noobville. - Crab Coast Teleport (Teleport) Instantly teleports you back to Hubtown. - Pirate Shores Teleport (Teleport) Instantly teleports you back to Pirate Shores. Slightly to the South of the Skills Shop, NPCs whose only focus is on Crafting can be found. The Blacksmith looking dude will take care of refining ores and

crafting various goods for you, given you have the required materials and Gold Coins required. The Crafting Supplies Shop sells various goods required for actually Crafting anything valuable, for prices which can't be told to be exactly cheap. Crafting isn't something for a low level player as you'll probably be at this point in the game, so let's just ignore these two guys for the moment. Refer to the Crafting System section in this guide if you want to know more about Crafting. North of Hubtown's central plaza and the Market can be found a farm. Talk to Farmer Clooney to be awarded a bunch of XP 20 Gold Coins for bringing Little Jimmy's Bag o' Crab Meat this far to him. Before doing anything else, you may want to visit the NPC stores in town to sell all the junk which is probably filling up your inventory and make a good deal of coins out of it. This is a good chance to think about buying Skills and Equipment which more caters to your current level, even if you'll probably be able to afford only a few things, since your money shouldn't really amount to a good sum. Remember most items in the game can be purchased at the Market for a price lower than that at the various NPC stores, although you will need a bit of time to make the habit and learn to discern between a very good deal and a overpriced one. Talk to Farmer Clooney again and he will offer a new Quest to you (Attack of the Killer Tomatoes). He needs 20 Killed Tomatoes to cook his Manhattan Crab Chowder. Seems like living, naughty vegetables are common in FO's world, a farmer's life oughta be pretty hard around here. Killer Tomatoes, right in Clooney's plot, are Aggressive monsters. They really aren't that much of a threat, as long as you don't get surrounded by a whole bunch of them. Take the required rest to replenish your HP and Energy as needed. Gather those 20 Killed Tomatoes and talk to Farmer Clooney again to get your hard earned reward: 450 XP, 30 Gold Coins and a bowl of Clooney's best Spicy Manhattan Crab Chowder. This is a powerful healing item, which you'll want to remember about during your tougher fights. Also, the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Quest happens to be a daily quest, so you will be able to take this quest and its rewards again once a day, if you wish so. On the Western limit of Hubtown, a little girl stands next to a guard, talk to her. Jen will tell you how she hates spiders, another Quest for you (She Hates Spiders)to kill 20 Baby Dirt Spiders. Accept it. Up on a ledge, North of where Jan stands, you'll find a bunch of those spiders. Baby Dirt Spiders are fast and Aggressive. They really aren't a fearsome enemy, just don't let them catch you off-guard. Talk to Jen again as soon as you take down 20 of those and she will reward you with 500 XP and 30 Gold Coins for your spider-killing deeds. She will also be ready to hand out yet another Quest to you right along. Ignore her for now. Go South of Hubtown's central plaza, past the Skills Shop and the Crafting NPCs, past a wooden fence. You'll reach another farm. More living (well, unliving actually) vegetables action! Talk to Farmer Otis, he will ask you to take care of 20 Zombeets as a Quest (Night of the Zombeets). Zombeets are tougher, more nasty and hit harder than Killer Tomatoes and Baby Dirt Spiders. Since it ought to be your lucky day, they're Peaceful Monsters too, so you can just relax, take your time and kill one of them at a time. Will still require you longer than anticipated. Once you're done killing Zombeets, talk to Farmer Otis again and he will pay your zombeet-farmer work with 500 XP and 50 Gold Coins. He will also hand you a Zombeet (an item, not one of those nasty things) for you to bring to Guardsman Charlie, another Quest

(Zombeet for Charlie). Charlie's the Guard which is next to Jen, in the far Western side of Hubtown. Farmer Otis will also offer another Quest for you (Zombeet Marathon), if you talk to him again. As the Quest's name should have suggested to you, this time you will have to deal with a greater number of Zombeets, 100. I'll leave up to you the decision to take this quest right now or not. As Otis wisely suggests, you can take down a bunch of Zombeets each day. Or, in as a smarter move, you could ask other players to party up for your Zombeet-killing needs to cut down the time required for the task dramatically (remember, kills are shared among party members). With a full party of 3 people, this should take significantly less time. Completing the Zombeet Marathon Quest will make you score a huge XP reward, 200 Gold Coins and you'll be gifted with The Beetslayer (a decent lvl 14 sword), so I highly suggest you to take down this quest, however you want. Go to Guardsmen Charlie and hand him down the Zombeet by talking to him, it'll earn you a bunch of XP and 25 Gold Coins. He's ready to give another Quest to you (Sometimes You Fail), if you talk to him again. Accept it. You'll have to kill 15 Failed Spider Hunters. Talk to Jen again, so you can accept her other Quest too (She REALLY Hates Spiders), consisting in killing 15 Dirt Spiders. All of these monsters will be found by heading West on the Hills. Go up the ramp where Baby Dirt Spiders are, ignoring them, then head West. A soldier stands near a wooden bridge over a valley. Talk to Captain Morgan, he lost his sword while fighting some Yellow Slimes. Your Quest (Captain's Morgan Slimy Sword) will consist in retrieving the sword and returning it back to him. Accept this one as well, of course. Head South past two bridges to meet the Yellow Slimes. These are Peaceful Monsters which hit hard but don't take too long to fall. Kill as many of them as required for you to loot Captain's Morgan Slimy Sword , this could take a while depending on your luck, as the drop rate isn't exactly high. Go back to hand the sword to its owner. Captain Morgan will be happy enough to reward you with 700 XP, not bad. Also, he will accept to clean the sword and gift it to you. You'll end up with a Large Sword in your inventory, a pretty decent weapon, if your character's main focus is in STR. Captain Morgan will also have another Quest (Who's the Boss?) for you to Accept. He's wondering about why all of these spiders are swarming the place. Your mission will be to gather a Lucky 8 Skull from the Lucky Skull Spider, up in the Hills. Head South once again, past the Yellow Slimes. A gang of Failed Spider Hunters is near another ramp. You already proved capable of taking down spiders, so just show them who's the real man. Those guys shouldn't prove to be any real threat to you, just pay the needed attention to not getting surrounded, as they are Aggressive. Once you're done killing Failed Spider Hunters, you could want to try to take on the Dirt Spiders, which can be found North up the ledge. Unlike many monsters you've encountered up until now, this will more likely than not prove to be a tougher fight than you would expect, especially if your level is low (you should be around lvl 10 at this point) or if you're not well equipped. You need to take down and are Peaceful, but before falling. Also, them catch you in big 15 Dirt Spiders to complete Jen's will hit you hard and they take a Baby Dirt Spiders swarm the place numbers while you're dealing with Quest. They move slowly good deal of damage as well, so don't let the bigger guys.

If you're experiencing a hard time, remember you can party up with other players who need to kill those Dirt Spiders (or who are just willing to help

you out) to make things easier for you. Or, you could take on easier monsters (ie, you could work a bit on that Zombeet Marathon Quest, if you didn't before) until you hit a higher level or until you can loot or afford to buy better equipment. I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to complete this quest now or at a later time (as you'll have to return this side of the map later anyways). Whatever your decision is , don't even think about going on the look out for the Lucky Skull Spider involved with Captain Morgan's task, as you probably wouldn't stand a chance at this point. Be wise and backtrack to town instead. Talk to Guardsman Charlie along the way, he'll give a reward of 550 XP and 100 Gold Coins for taking care of those Failed Spider Hunters back on the Hills. He will also let you intend you could have ended up like one of those happy guys he sent you to bash, if things went another way. Also, if you did kill those Dirt Spiders, you can talk to Jen for your 700 XP and 50 Gold Coins reward. As you return to Hubtown, you should probably pay a visit to the local Skills Shop to purchase some new tricks. You may likely want to check the Market or other NPC Shops to see if you can afford some good stuff to equip you with better stuff. Now, If you're at least lvl 11, a few new Quests will be available to you in Hubtown. Otherwise, just go kill enough enemies to hit level 11. Remember you can take the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes once every 24 hours for easy bonus XP. Once more, if you didn't complete the Zombeet Marathon Quest yet, this could be a good chance to do so for a HUGE XP reward (I won't mention that quest again, I promise ^_^). Go to Hubtown's Eastern Gate and talk to Guardsman Dan. Surprise surprise, seems like McBadguy recruited more Skeles. Also, you'll likely have to deal with another useless general, sooner or later. Accept Dan's Quest (Enemy at the Gates) and start whacking some of the Skelechops swarming outside of the city gates. They're not big trouble if dealt with one at a time, problem's they're Aggressive and they come in big numbers. Also, you wouldn't tell they move so fast at first glance. Be very careful about not getting yourself surrounded. You can safely run into town if needed, just be aware those guys can chase you right up to the very gate's doorway. As you take 20 of those down as requested, talk to Guardsman Dan again for your 800 XP and 25 Gold Coins reward. He should have another quest ready for you if you talk to him again (What About Bob?). Dan will tell you about someone by the name of Bob near the river, he also wants you to kill 20 Skele Blocks. Accept it. Go past the city gate again avoiding the Skelechops. Skeleblocks are Peaceful enemies, so taking down 20 of those will prove easy, as long as you pay attention to a few Skelestabs spawning among them. Go back to town right after that and talk to Guardsman Dan again for a 1000 XP and 30 Coins reward. There's currently yet another quest for you in town, so go South of the central plaza past the Skills Shop until you reach Otis' Farm again. This is a good chance to... talk to Otis' wife (you did fall for it there, didn't you? :P). Old Lady Olga's Zombeets have been regularly "stolen" by some Green Slimes in the forest, so she'll ask you to retrieve 10 of her precious vegetables (you

serious? Slimy Beets, does it sound tasty at all? Whatever, as long as she pays you back for the effort). Accept the Quest (Slimy Beet Stealers) and take the path in the woods South-East of Otis' Farm. You'll reach a wide open space where Green Slimes like to hang out when they're not enjoying some beets-stealing action. This may prove to be another tougher than expected fight, if approached lightly. Green Slime don't fall quickly and hit for decent damage. Plus, they're Aggressive. Kill enough slimy things to loot 10 Slimy Zombeets. Take the path in the woods back to Otis' Farm and hand Olga her Slimy Zombeets back, she will kindly reward you with 600 XP and 50 Coins for your slimy efforts. Olga will also give you another Quest (Zombeet Defense) if you chat with her again. This is another Daily Quest you can take every 24 hours about killing 25 Yellow Slimes. You should be at least lvl 12 by now, so be sure to be equipped with the best stuff and skills you can afford before leaving town, as you'll soon go and try to hunt down that nasty Lucky Skull Spider. Go West from Hubtown up on the hills again and past the wooden bridges to kill those 25 Yellow Slimes, it will be easy. You can go kill the nearby Dirt Spiders if you haven't completed the quest last time. Head North from where the Dirt Spiders are, past another bridge and you'll find another spider. That's her! The Lucky Skull Spider is a Boss Monster, so be prepared for a harsh battle. It has plenty of HP, so it will take a good deal of damage before falling. He will also hit you hard in return. Be sure to have your best Buffs cast on you and wait until your HP and energy are full before attacking. Keep casting Lick Your Wounds to keep your HP up. It could be a very good idea to bring a few Health Potions along with you, in case you need emergency healing. This could be a good chance to put that Spicy Manhattan Crab Chowder to good use, if you still have it. Of course you can just party with two other people and make life easier for the three of you dealing with the Lucky Skull Spider. If this proves to be too much for you you can just complete this quest at a later time when you get much stronger. The Boss will drop the Lucky 8 Skull you need. The cave's entrance which is near Lucky Skull Spider is leads to the Cave of Some Return. You can talk to the NPC standing there to enter the cave, but he'll let you pass if you're at least lvl 16 and only if you accept to pay 20 Gems. Once you spend those Gems, entering the cave will be free for you. The Cave of Some Return is a very interesting area, populated by enemies which earn you lots of XP, valuable loot and Gold Coins. Also, it currently is the only area in the game where Iron Veins can be found (you can mine various Iron Ores from Iron Veins by the use of a Pickaxe, a Gem Item). Chances are you won't be able to enter the Cave of Some Return right now, so talk to Captain Morgan on your way back to Hubtown. You'll get a nice 1200 XP and 100 Coins reward in exchange for that Lucky 8 Skull. Once in town, pay a visit to Old Lady Olga, she will award you 500 XP and 40 Coins for taking the Yellow Slimes down. She will remind you you can take this quest every day for more XP and Gold. At this point, you could even consider going back to the dock at the shore to reach Pirate Shores (you should be lvl 12 and above right now, allowing you to

take the trip). I Will return on this matter briefly. After you did all of the usual selling stuff, checking for Skills and Equipment to buy and relaxing in Hubtown, head past the Eastern gate and walk South-East until you reach a bridge guarded by a soldier. Guardsman Bob will have a Quest for you (Skeleguard Skulls) if you're at least lvl 13. He wants you to collect 10 Skulls from the Skeleguards on the other side of the river. Walk across the bridge. The Skeles armed with a sword (Skelestabs) are Aggressive, but you don't need to kill any of them to complete the quest, just ignore them. Go slightly up to the North to find the Skeles which carry a purple shield. Skeleguards are passive and have lots of HP, they're no big issue otherwise. You may want to look out for Skelestabs nearby, who will immediately jump on you as soon as you're close enough. The Skelestabs hit harder than the Skeleguards, so be careful about not putting yourself in a tight spot. Kill enough Skeleguards to loot 10 Skulls and head back to Guardsman Bob for your reward: 1300 XP, 30 Gold Coins and a Metal Shield. He will also give you another Quest (The Skele Elite) this time about killing 6 Skele Elites. Skele Elites are North of the Skeleguards. As the name suggests, these powerful enemies. They basically are as tough as a Skeleguard and will as hard as a Skelestab. They're Aggressive too. Take on one of them at and rest between fights. Don't be shy about running away if they catch tight situation, you should be able to kill 6 of them otherwise. are more hit you a time you in a

You'll see another, bigger Skele close where the Elites are, it's the Skele Champion, ignore him for now. Return to Guardsman Bob near the bridge on the river to the South. Talk to him once more to gain a whooping 1800 XP and 50 Cold Coins. He will also hand a Letter to General Quixote for you to deliver. Head back to Hubtown. General Quixote stands between the Killer Tomatoes farm and the town's Eastern gate. Talk to him to deliver the letter (ignore the fact he doesn't have any question mark over his head), you'll get another 1000 XP and 10 Gold Coins. The oldie will talk about a giant, but we already spotted it just a few moments back, isn't it? You'll be given another Quest (We Are the Champions!) to kill the Skele Champion. Note that you can get this quest even if you haven't completed the Skele Elite one, but you'll have to be at least lvl 14. Skele Champion is a Boss Monster (in fact, he is Crab Island's main Boss) and the strongest enemy you will find in this area. If you thought Lucky Skull Spider was trouble, prepare for more. He has 1500 HP, so it will take quite a while to fall, and he will hit you hard, very hard. No need to say you should better cast your best buffs on you and keep yourself healed. Use whatever you can, you'll need it. Well, if you manage to be successful, congratulations! You just completed all of Crab Island's Quests (given you've followed this guide step-by-step ^^). The NPC next to the cave's entrance by the East of where Skele Elites and the Skele Champion are will let you enter the Swamp Grotto, as soon as you are at least lvl 17, while walking past the wooden gate which is there will bring you to Mirabella Cove, a higher level area which doesn't currently feature a level requirement to enter. Go back to General Quixote in town for a hard earned 2500 XP and 250 Gold Coins reward. This is a bit of a crossroad in FO. You have no Quests to complete in Crab

Coast anymore (accept for the Killer Tomatoes and Yellow Slimes dailies), while most of the higher level areas are still closed for you. You should however be able to travel to Pirate shores (level requirement is 12), so you may consider moving there and completing Quests which deal with killing Scorpions, rescuing Pirates' treasures and getting rid of zombies. This is a secondary area, meaning it doesn't really feature anything ultra important, so many people just skip on this entirely. Just saying, I enjoyed it nonetheless. As soon as you hit level 16, you could want to consider paying those 20 Gems and buying access to the Cave of Some Return. This area is entirely optional too, you don't have to go there. Yet, it is currently the only place where Iron Ores can be mined (you'll need to buy a Pickaxe to mine) and many Quests and Monsters there yield high amounts of XP, Gold Coins and valuable loot. You will be allowed to enter the Swamp Grotto by reaching lvl 17. Entering this area is otherwise free of charge. Monsters and Quests there quickly become quite engaging, it's a preferred place to gain more XP, Gold Coins. In addition to that, the Skill Trainer and NPC Shops both have powerful Skills and Equipment for you to buy, if you can afford it, so visiting this area is highly advice-able. Swamp Grotto currently is the only place where Silver Ores can be mined, if you're into crafting. Last, you may choose to travel to Mirabella Cove, by heading to the East, past the Skele Elites, the entrance to the Grotto and the wooden gate there. Entering to this area is free and doesn't currently have a minimum level requirement, so many players just venture there and try to get on monsters of a much higher level to gain huge amounts of XP and level up more quickly. Crab Coast is however an area you'll return to more than once, especially if you later gain interest into crafting. If you decide to stay for a while more into the surroundings of Hubtown, be aware that Skele Elites and Skele Champions are a popular and convenient choice to grind for good XP, loot and Gold Coins. So make your choice, maybe pay a visit to each of the aforementioned areas as soon as you're allowed to enter and stick to the one you like the most by taking the Quests you will find. I will next talk about Pirate Shores and the Cave of Some Return, although as I already stated these are optional areas for the most part, so maybe jump directly to the Swamp Grotto section if you want to skip them entirely. ======================= * #5.3. Pirate Shores * ======================= Only characters of at least level 12 are allowed to enter this area. To travel to Pirate Shores, talk to the Pirate Navigator who stands on a dock at the Western side of Crab Coast's coast, in the Southern region of that area. Pirate Shores is composed by a little archipelago of islands connected via wooden bridges. It is covered by grass and palms, although a few desert-like spots are present on the bigger island. As you enter the area your character will be brought on one of the smaller islands. Whenever you wish to return to Crab Coast just talk to the Pirate Navigator on the dock by the East and he will teleport you to Hubtown. Pirate Shores is densely populated by scorpions, pirate NPCs and enemies and

undeads. The most peculiar of this area is the presence of many Chests of different sizes you will need to open in order to complete many of the Quests you can take here. To be open able to open the Chests you will need to equip a Standard Lockpick though, a tool which can be purchased at some NPC Shops (or at the Market for Gold Coins). Monsters to be found in this area: Small Treasure Chest, Treasure Chest, Large Treasure Chest, Treasure Chest Mirage, Scorpion, Noob Treasure Hunter, Undead Archaeologist, Undead Assistant, Undead Scallywag ---------------------------As soon as you enter Pirate Shores, you'll reach a spot where a few NPC are located. Pirate Navigator, on the dock, will offer to bring you back to Hubtown anytime if you talk to him. The Pirate Pawn Shop holds Health, Energy Potions and a Map for Pirate Shores for you to buy, if you need any. You'll need a Standard Lockpick to open the Chests in Pirate Shores in order to complete some quests. It's a tool you equip in place of your weapon: it only does 1 dmg when attacking anything and you can't cast Skills while using it, but that's the only tool which enables you to open the Chests in this and other areas. It's not like you absolutely need to complete the Quests concerning Chests (although rewards and loot from chests in this area and later in the game are usually pretty nice), so if you don't want to buy the Standard Lockpick or just can't afford it skip over them. You can of course take those Quests at a later time, if you wish so. The Standard Lockpick can be bought at various NPC Shops for 12 Gems. A NPC Shop which has Standard Lockpick up for sale in Pirate Shores is in the North-West corner of the area, on a small island connected to the main one by a wooden bridge. Alternatively, in case you don't wish to spend Gems on that, you can usually find Standard Lockpicks up for sale for Gold Coins at the Market. It doesn't go for very cheap though. Pirate Patrick and Pirate Mir will have a few Quests for you as soon as you hit lvl 14. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.3.1. Standard Lockpick only Quests ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Move slightly to the West and talk to Pirate Josh. You will need the Standard Lockpick to successfully complete his Quests. He will tell he lost his booty. He means treasures of course. Accept the Quest (Booty Call) and move West past the bridge. Equip your Standard Lockpick and open enough Small Treasure Chests (just attack them like they were regular monsters) to collect 20 Booties. Talk to Pirate Josh, getting back is Booty to him will make you earn 1000 XP and 50 Gold Coins. Talk to him again to take another Quest (Booty Camp). He will ask for 40 Better Booties, so go open even more Small Chests. By completing this other Quest Josh will award you 2000 XP and 100 Gold Coins and an Eye Patch (HARR!). Return where Small Chests are and go North slightly to Talk to Pirate Harley near a hill with two palm trees on it to get another Chests-related Quest (The Mirage). You'll need a Standard Lockpick to complete this Quest as well. Open enough Treasure Chest Mirage in the surroundings to find a Lost Treasure and give it to Pirate Harley to be awarded 1000 XP and 100 Gold Coins. He will also

give a Sharp Cutlass to you. Matey Mir will give you another Chests-related Quest you need the Standard Lockpick to complete (Mo' Better Booty). Go North across the bridge and to the West. Open enough Treasure Chests to loot 10 Mo Booty and return to Matey Mir. Your reward will be 800 XP and 50 Gold Coins. Talk to Matey Mir again for another Quest (Mo' Booty, Mo' Problems) 50 Mo Mo Booties from the same Treasure Chests as the previous one. Chests-opening action, come back to Matey Mir for a 2400 XP and 200 reward. You'll also receive the Black Pearl for your efforts. After done with Quests which have to do with opening chests. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.3.2. Exterminating Scorpions ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Talk to Matey Moy, near the Small Chests and next to a palm tree, and accept his Quest (Scorpions on the Plains)). You will have to kill 20 of the Scorpions nearby to the South. Scorpions aren't a big deal and they're Peaceful Monsters, just take them down one at a time (or party-up with someone else to make it quicker). Accomplishing this task will make you earn 800 XP and 20 Gold Coins. As Matey Moy inhabitants. and will ask threat. This tells, seems like Scorpions are a big issue to this island's He will give you a Scorpion Report to deliver to Captain Crunch you to tell other NPCs in the surroundings about the Scorpions is another Quest (Scorpion Report). to gather After more Gold Coins that you're

Go North and up a ramp to a ledge where more Scorpions are. Slightly ahead to the South-West talk to Matey Daniel. This will make you earn 300 XP and get another Quest (Scorpion report: The Sequel). Be aware that you won't be allowed to deliver the Scorpion Report to Captain Crunch if you don't talk to Matey Daniel in advance. Move to the East, down the ledge and more to the East. Talk to Captain Crunch to deliver the Scorpion Report and complete the Quest and get 500 XP and 50 Gold Coins. Talk to Captain Crunch again to get another Quest (Scorpion Extermination). You'll need to take down 50 scorpions, so go back to the ledge and start killing more of them. Partying up with other people is advisable, as you'll need far less time to complete the task that way. Go back to Captain Crunch again after you're done to receive a nice XP and Gold Coins reward. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.3.3. Noob Treasure Hunters are n00bs ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go South-East past the Noob Treasure Hunters and across a bridge to go where you first were upon arriving to Pirate Shores. Pirate Patrick, near the NPC Shop, will give you a Quest (Bad n00b Treasure Hunters) if you talk to him. You'll have to kill 20 Noob Treasure Hunters. Walk North past the wooden bridge and then head to the West where the Treasure Chests are to find them. Just like Scorpions, Noob Treasure Hunters are Passive Monsters and not much of a deal, just take on one of them at a time and rest to regen HP and Energy as needed until you complete the Quest. Come back to Pirate Patrick for a 800 XP and 50 Gold Coins reward. You'll also get a Chicken Cutlass. Pirate Patrick will also give you another Quest (Insert

Clever n00b Pun Here) to kill more Noob Pirate Hunters, 60. Party up with someone else who needs to kill those guys to make the whole process much quicker of course. Completing this last long quest will make you earn 2200 XP and 150 Gold Coins if you talk to Patrick again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ #5.3.4. Dispatching Undeads ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Walk North again, past the Noob Treasure Hunters and go where Captain Crunch is. Talk to Angry Al, he will give you a Quest (The Assistant) to take care 20 Undead Assistant, they're just nearby to the North-East. Undead Assistants are Peaceful and nothing to be worried about. Just take on one of them at a time until you've killed enough to complete the quest. Talk to Angry Al again for a 1000 XP and 40 Gold Coins reward. Talk to him again and he will give another Quest to you (Fallen Arches) to take down 40 Fallen Archaeologists. They're near the Undead Assistants. Completing this last quest will make you earn 2400 XP and 120 Gold Coins. ======================================== * #5.4.
