I have no idea how this game works

Post by ske14 »

This is a rant. Here's how you can solve this issue. Link me to a walkthrough. :P

So I'm stuck in Tulimshar grinding near the gates trying to figure out when I can advance in the game. Am I suppose to grind forever until I am level 30 or something? There's no way to find out who has an unfulfilled quest, so all I can do is ask everyone what they need to get done, and some people answer in the most ambigious way, so I have no idea if they need me to fulfill a particular requirement. I've spent a lot of time exploring caves and sewers. Nothing seems overly obvious to me.

If you've walked everywhere you can, try swimming across the ocean.

trolling?

O.O

EDIT:

I thought this game was struggling. Why are you pushing away a newbie?

Hi ske14.

Unfortunately we do not have a quest-tab that keeps track of what quests you have recieved and what to do.

Here is a few links that can come in handy for a new player:

https://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Walkthrough

https://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Quests

And my general advice is to get to Hurnscald as soon as possible to meet other players, this is where most of the more experienced players hang out so if you have any questions hopefully someone there can answer them.

You get to hurnscald by going out on a wharf in the north part of tulishmar, you can see a Captain standing by that wharf.

Good luck!

After you have grinded to about level 15, go north until you see docks. There is one dock that will allow you to take a boat into hurnscald. There are new monsters and towns there. also feel free to check the wiki page wiki.themanaworld.org for more info

I thought about this problem for a while, and developed a spreadsheet. It can be found on the Player Talk forum as "Spreadsheet for help with quests". I think I called it that.

On this subject, the wiki seems a little in need of repair in certain areas when it comes to quests. I'm happy to have a squizz at this as time goes on.

I'd be willing to contribute to this project if you'd like help programming it.

Thanks Chicka. Is there a Wiki or documentation concerning the language and data structuring? I think I saw something before but then lost it. Thanks.
