Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
This is an important thing, we all have been where you were, so if you got a question at least someone in the game will have an answer.
The same thing is to be said about seeking help for a corpse retrieval, don’t be afraid to ask for a CR on a forum.
Stats
Stats can be a bit much sometimes, I’ll try to be pretty concise about this.
The first class you choose to play is your pclass (primary class), help “class” will show you which stats are the most important for you.
A good starting point is to train all your stats until you need 2 trains per stat, then mostly focusing on your class’s important stats is certainly no bad idea.
To see what each stat does “help stats” does the trick perfectly!
editor’s note also check help newbie-stats
Portals
Portals are quite great, they let you travel to a certain area without movement points or your runto time being used, they are especially handy for Global Quests.
Here’s a handy link to where you can find most of the portals:https://aardwolfboot.com/portals-list/
When you get your hands on a portal make sure to use mapper portal enter “name here” to tell the game that you can go to that place with a portal and you don’t have to run there every time, you’ll need to specify the level of the portal too.
Personally I set an alias for my portals that takes them for a container, wears them, enters them, removes them, and puts them back in the container all by tying one word, p.e.x pboot, so setting up mapper portal pboot saves quite some time.
Get the most potential out of your potential.
You may or may not have heard about it (if you don’t help potential should get you all the info you need) but potential lets you raise the max amount of stats you can train, daily blessing sometimes gives you some too. Try to buy some potential every once in a while because the price increases every time so daily blessing’s potential will be essentially worth more if you get it at a higher (free) cost.
Bags, bags, bags, and even more bags.
This one may seem obvious, you’ll get lot’s of stuff in Aardwolf, and keeping track of it all might be a little bit hard, so take a few bags and try to get some system going.
That way you’ll know where to look when you want to check all your shiny weapons out for example.
Never use your sweet earned quest points on Trivia Points at Questor.
He makes a very bad deal, you could be spending those quest points on cool new gear. Quest points are one of the more important currencies, so try to not spend them on trivia points.
Aliases and triggers, make your life easier and faster.
Aliases are used to set one word as a synonym for others, for example, pboot takes my old duffle bag out of my container, wears it, enters it, removes it, and puts it back in the container. (You can access your aliases by pressing control and 9 at the same time.)
Triggers are used to respond to a certain scenario with a set response, for example when I get the thirsty message I automatically take my canteen and drink from it. (You can access your triggers by pressing control and 8 at the same time.)
Aardbags make life lighter.
If you are struggling with the tremendous weight of all the stuff you are carrying around I recommend buying an aardbag, they level with you until you remort and then they stay at level 201.
The Aardbags are in fact so great that they can have negative weight counts, thé bag for hoarders so to speak.
Try to do a campaign every once in a while.
In the beginning, I was scared off by campaigns, my first one led me through a few mazes and frustrated me quite a bit. Campaigning is something that you’ll get better in as you go, just try your best and ask for help where necessary.
Try to do campaigns around level 0-100.
I tend to cp level using noexp to do a cp per level until I reach level 100, or I am bored, and then I just never put noexp on again while campaigning.
This is different for everyone, some people campaign more, other ones less.
You can choose the ranges yourself, but just know that higher-level campaigns will get harder.
Equipment level ranges.
The best level ranges for equipment are 1, 41, 71, 91, 131, 171, and 200.
It’s handy to have a set of all these levels on you to wear when you’re remorting.
Cexits, what they are, and how you use them.
You may or may not have heard of these yet but anything that is not your standard n,e,s,w, and still is a command you need to use to get from a specific room to another is called a cexit.
They are mostly shown as other on the exits of the room (picture)
If you type exits you can see what you need to type for this “special exit”
Now if you type, ‘mapper cexit’ and the name of it the mapper will behave like it’s just a normal exit, for example with search and destroy if you run to a mob behind a cexit you will enter the right words to go there automatically, this is a godsend basically. (for more command use double semi-colons)
That’s the end of my guide-like thingy, I hope you’ve liked it and see you around.
