This is meant as a guide to the most commonly used items and some helpful links to make your experience on aardwolf most efficient and fun.
MUSH CLIENT
The most important tool to make your experience as efficient is the Mush Client. It features many tools specifically designed for use with aardwolf and the mapper ( after you explore the areas) will make you super efficient. Combined with S&D and Dinv the experience is life changing

Cexit and other useful mapper commands:

Pwars S&D and plugin manager – With a properly explored map this will automate most basic quests and cps ( especially to level 100 or so). This is how people win GQ in just a few minutes.

Install instructions: unzip the file directly into your root mushclient folder (the one where mushclient.exe exists). Then in MUSHclient, press Ctrl+Shift+P and click Add, browse to your mushclient/worlds/plugins folder and load Pwars_Plugin_Manager.xml. Now simply type ppm and choose to install which plugins you like.
DINV – Great plugin to manage / track and organize your eq, weapons, consumables and portals.

Helpful Links – These are the links that people commonly ask for on question channel:
Searchable database of Mobs or room names: http://rooms.gaardian.com/index.php
Searchable list of area maps: https://aardwolfboot.com/maps/
List of all eqsearch items – helpful for mob names if not clan EQ: http://www.aardwolf.com/wiki/index.php/Item/GamePlay
If you are stuck ( you probably just think you are) make sure you try all the basics: Try to recall, try to portal, type exits and see if there is a custom exit). Try to move in all directions and check the map for the area you are in above. If all of these fail ask on clan channel and someone will answer / help.
Also remember there are plenty of help resources on aard.
“help-newbieaard” for help on which items to buy from questor
“help wish” for info on wishes
“help trivia points” for info on how to spend the trivia points you have.
I hope this helps make your mudding easier. There is a LOT to learn on aard and this is just a stepping stone.
Thanks,
Kazm
