About the wiki
Editing
Q. This wiki thing is odd and filled with odd people! I am frightened!
A. That's not a question! But never fear, the wiki is a great tool that only gets better with more participation and information. Here is the Mediawiki Handbook for detailed information on how things work. The Help:Editing section is a handy reference for beginners.
Signature
Q. Typing all that code to sign my posts is tiresome. Is there a better way to do this?
A. At the top of the edit field, you'll see a series of icons. The second to last icon resembles a partial signature. Simply click on this icon and it will generate the code to sign your posts.
Clan pages
Q. How do I list my uber l33t clan page like the others?
A. Edit your clan page and add "[[Category:Clans]]" (no quotes). If you also want to be listed as a specific type of clan, also add "[[Category:Clans for Outsiders]]" or "[[Category:Clans for Natives]]" or "[[Category:Clans for both]]".
For example, an Outsider-only clan would have: [[Category:Clans]] [[Category:Clans for Outsiders]].
Q. How do I make the information box that appears on clan pages?
A. At the moment there is not a way to do this besides copying the code they use and pasting it in your clan page. Make sure you properly edit it to display your own information.
Your vital statistics
Hit points (HP)
Q. I've only just started playing. How do you recover your HP?
A. Food and drink are your friend! You can find food and water by searching, and also the odd med-kit and healing herbs. Watch out for berries, some will restore you and others take it out if you! More information on recovery items are noted on the Items page.
Action points (AP)
Q. How does AP replenish?
A. You get an extra AP every 20 minutes, up to a maximum of 75. It is reputably possible to have negative AP if you perform an action that takes alot of AP.
Experience (XP)
Q. How do you gain experience?
A. All sorts of ways, but most notably by killing animals, or people! Chopping down the jungle seems to also yield amount of XP. More information on methods of earning experience points are noted on the XP Gains page.
Gold
Q. What is gold good for?
A. Hmm.. good question. Also mentioned on the items page as you get more gold by searching and finding gold coins.
Life and death
Character deaths
Q. What happens when you die? --One of many doctors 23:26, 16 February 2006 (GMT)
A. You are dead, and you can still walk around, as a spirit. You cannot talk, but some of the skills can help with that. You retain your items but cannot use them. If you go to a shaman he will bring you back to life, or you can use 50 AP to have your spirit moved home (e.g. York, Derby, Dalpok) and revived instantly.
Q. How much XP is awarded for a player kill? Is it different for killing within your own group (Native killing a native)? Is it relative to the level of the other character?--Jackel 14:28, 26 February 2006 (GMT)
A.
NPC's (Non Player Characters) deaths
Q: The 'statistics on kills' page [1] shows each group has killed a shaman numerous times. As I understand, there is always 1 shaman in each town/village. What are the consequences of this? Unable to be revived until one respawns? -Jackel
A.
Animal Respawning
Q. Does anyone suspects how this works? I killed a Wild Boar and a Tiger, in the same spot, and two hours later, they were alive again. I don't know if because of a bug, or because they simply can revive? Has anyone encountered the same?--Wcervantes 19:19, 21 February 2006 (GMT)
A. This was a bug. --Murk 16:13, 24 February 2006 (GMT)
Items
Q. Can items that you are carrying be destroyed or damaged? Specifically, can a machete ever be broken or become dull with use requiring sharpening? Is there any reason to carry around more than one machete? -Arminius 01:59, 24 February 2006 (GMT)
Q. I would like to ask for everyones help in finding more about the elusive heavy sword, like what density of jungle did you find them in, is there a hut underneath the jungle or was it a jungle square with a hut? Or if you actually find them in the jungle? THe info on them right now is shaky. Im currently going on a search-a-thon but help is greatly appreciated.
- Please feel free to add some data to Search Odds or Search Odds Condensed to help in the effort to work out where to find this item and others! -- Fitzcarraldo 10:27, 26 February 2006 (GMT)
Q. Do poison darts poison ?
Locations
Jungle
Q. I have a lot of question about jungle squares. Do chopped jungles ever grow back? If so, how long is the growth rate? Would jungles grow while you were standing in one? Are search rates changed by the density of the jungle?
- I for one am not sure, but I am trying to figure it out through breaking out the search odds into seperate terrain types. There is lots of data needed to get any meaningful data so, if you would like to help, please feel free to add some data to Search Odds Condensed to help figure this out! -- Fitzcarraldo 10:27, 26 February 2006 (GMT)
