Skill Training ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~WARRIOR SKILLS~~~~~ SHIELD is VERY simple to train IF you know what to do. The lower level of the barracks has dummies that hit you back. go to the back room and gather (at least) 8 dummies, and have them form a box around you. You can either just let your HP fall to 0 and come back and repeat, OR you can buy Big Health Potions and drink them when your HP nears 15. This is the fastest and easiest way to train Shield up. Train with : any shield FENCING is a good skill to learn because it does Light-Medium damage and is VERY fast at low str, making it ideal for duelers and barracks raiders. Train with : Rapier LONG SWORD is the most common warrior skill, but is quite hard to gain skill with as a traveler. Sabres are slow at 32str, so patience is required, but they payoff is worth all the effort. Train with : Sabre SHORT SWORD is the skill of choice for barracks raiders because of their high speed at low str and abundance of good special short swords. With VERY HARD training, 100% skill can be reached within 1 whole day of training. Train with : Short Sword AXE ATTACK is a very heavy, high damage skill. The Battle Axe is a great weapon for high level players. This skill is quite easy to train early on because of the Light Axe's low str for a full speed swing. Train with : Light Axe ARCHERY is the nightmare of many mages. A pure barracks raider is also a good archer to nullify mages. This skill is VERY expensive to train, needing over 15k worth of arrows to reach 100% skill. This skill has no special bows except for the rare Dark Elf Bow. Train with : Short Bow HAMMER is the newest, and most heavy-duty skill of them all. High level warriors wield giant war hammers that can greatly deplete the Endurance on enemy armor. The 2 hammers available are mostly for high level warriors. Train with : Hammer ~~~~~MAGE SKILLS~~~~~ MAGIC is the basis for a good mage. 100% magic skill (or MS) allows mages to cast up to 36% faster than normal. Summoned creatures depend on MS: 10%+ Slimes 20%+ Ants 30%+ Snakes 40%+ Orcs 50%+ Skeletons 60%+ Clay Golems 70%+ Stone Golems 80%+ Magic Orcs 90%+ Helhounds 100% Cyclops The easiest way to train MS to 100% is to cast Magic Missle(8MP) over and over. 100% MS is not "necessary" for a good mage, but is an EXTREMELY helpful tool. Train with : Magic Missle(8MP) ~~~~~MISC. SKILLS~~~~~ MAGIC RESIST is a must have skill for ALL characters. The best suggestion is to buy a MR+(40+ works really well) shield or peice of armor and go to the Farm as a CITIZEN and go to a MR Party (which is a group of mages that cast energy bolt into a crowd, but not doing any damage). Some MR parties will only allow mages to participate, in thi case, you are out of luck, but Farms are covered in MR parties in most cases. With a MR+40 shield and a current MR skill of 10 as my example, you would block spells as if you had 50% MR, but gain skill as if you had 10% skill. So as time goes on, your MR skill will go up and be higher then what it really is, making it really easy to gain skill. NOTE : 100% MAGIC RESIST DOES NOT ENSURE 100% PROTECTION FROM SPELLS!!! POWERFUL MAGES CAN STILL OWN YOU, HOWEVER, SUMMONED MONSTERS AND WEAKER MAGES ARE NO PROBLEM AT ALL. Train With : MR+ Shield or armor PRETEND CORPSE is a skill that has no DIRECT purpose; you cant make anything with it, you cant kill anything with it, but you CAN have a fool-proof escape from monsters and stupid players. You use the skill, you must click on it in the skill menu. You can only use the skill when at least 1 square away from another player or creature. Train with : Skill Menu POISON RESIST is a skill that is usually trained by Barracks Raiders. Poison Resist lowers the chance of being poisoned and the length that poison lasts. However, 100% poison Resist does not ensure complete protection against poison. To train it, have a friend hit you with a Poisoning dagger over and over. Train with : Poisoning dagger ALCHEMY is the skill used for making potions. You need certain ingredients to make each potion. All the potion recipies can be found in the Helbreath README file..... or right here =) Train With : Alchemy Bowl Potion Name Ingredients Needed Skill Health potion 1 slime jelly 20 1 ants leg, 1 snake tongue Mana potion 1 slime jelly 20 1 ants antenna 1 snake skin Revitalization potion 1 slime jelly 20 1 scorpion pincers 1 snake meat Disillusion potion 1 slime jelly 30 2 snake teeth 1 scorpion sting 1 orc teeth Big Health potion 3 slime jelly 40 1 ants leg 1 snake tongue 1 troll meat Big Mana potion 3 slime jelly 40 1 ants antenna 1 snake skin 1 cyclops meat Big Revit. potion 2 slime jelly 40 1 scorpion pincer 2 snake meat 1 snake skin Invisibility potion 1 slime jelly 50 1 orc meat 1 orc teeth 1 skeleton bone Hair color potion 1 slime jelly 60 1 lump of clay, 1 scorpion meat 1 snake meat Hair style potion 1 slime jelly 70 1 stone golem peice 1 snake meat 1 hellbound tongue Skin color potion 1 slime jelly 90 1 clays 1 hellbound tail 1 snake teeth Sex change potion 1 slime jelly 95 1 lump of clay 1 cyclops eyes 1 ogre heart 1 skeleteon bone 1 troll claw ogre summon potion 1 troll heart 100 1 ogre heart 1 ogre skin 1 ogre meat 1 ogre claw 1 ogre hair ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V. Character Templates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have a Character Template you want to submit, send it in the following form with "Helbreath Char Temp Submission" in the subject and I'll post it if I like it. Please include a small explaination why you made the skills and stats the way they are. LEVEL 40 BARRACK RAIDER WARRIOR MAGE Str - 39 Dex - 68 Vit - 50 Str - 12 Dex - 10 Vit - 15 Int - 10 Mag - 10 Chr - 10 Int - 60 Mag - 82 Chr - 10 Skills : Short Sword Skills : Magic Fencing Staff Attack Shield Magic Resist Magic Resist ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VII. Frequently Asked Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q. What is "rep" A. Rep is short for Reputation. When you "rep" someone, you give them a good evaluation as a person. This good evaluation gives that character a fighting advantage over characters with negative rep. Also, For every 10 rep you receive, you get +1 damage on Righteous weapons, up to a Max of 100 rep. Q. Why isnt my (your skill here) going up? A. Each skill has a stat that is associated with it; Dex and Short Sword, Long Sword, Axe Attack, Archery, Hammer, Fencing, Shield, Mag and Magic, Level and Magic Resist. Your max skill equals that stat times 2. : Dex * 2 = Max SS, LS, Axe, Archery, Fencing, Shield. Mag * 2 = Max Magic Skill Int * 2 = Max Pretend Corpse, Alchemy Vit * 2 = Max Poison Resist Str * 2 = Max Hand Attack, Mining, Manufacturing Level * 2 = Max Magic Resist Raise the appropriate stat for your skill and it will go up more. Q. How do I make money? A. (This question will be answered in a future section of my FAQ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IX.
