Some newbie tips from friendly Homins.

If you have your own tips email me!

1: When you die, don't respawn straight away as I've noticed a few people doing recently. You have about 5 minutes following your 'death' when you are actually in a 'coma'. During this time, if you are healed you can be brought back to life without suffering a DP. So what you should do is go to the region chat and ask if anyone can resuscitate you (or rez/res for short). If anyone is nearby and has the heal spell, they will more than likely come and heal you and save your life. However, it depends where you are and IF they have heal, there may be no-one around who can help.

2: I've also seen situations where people put out a call for help along the lines of "can someone rez me pls?". To which the response will come "where?". My point is this - don't ask for a rez without saying where you are! It saves time and may save your life. So check where you are on the map and include your location in the rez request. Try to give people a good idea of where you are so they can find your body.

3: When someone is on their way to you to rez you and is trying to find you, keep an eye on your compass. When you see a blue dot appear near you, start talking on around chat. It will make you easier to spot from a distance because they will see the speech bubble easier than a body lying on the ground.

Above all remember, you don't HAVE to die and respawn straight away, you can wait the full 5 minutes and hope for salvation!

4. give a message when youre up again, otherwise you might have someone coming for you while you dont need help anymore, and thats most annoying (for them)

5. Another way to help people find you has emerged since I originally posted this. You can now use the long range team invite to help. If you ask for a rez and someone says they're coming, type in /invite followed by their name. They will be invited to your team. They can then use the option to make you their compass target, making it easier to find you.

NOTE: this only works if you are a) not in a team or b) team leader. Otherwise you can't invite people.

6. If your having trouble entering water when fleeing combat hit F6 then F12 to disengage from combat and deselect the target. You should then be able to enter the water.

7. Combat actions can be automatically recycled (continually used) by double clicking the icon or double tapping the number key. A white boarder will appear around the action when it is in recycle mode.

8. When fighting more than one creature and the first one dies immediately click the second creature to continue your attack routine without pausing.

9. To cancel an action press ctrl+s (the intended way of doing it ;))

10. Always target people from your team list (when possible), to avoid hassle and misclicks/presses. Use the target your target's target shortcut to make targeting easier under some circumstances.

11. When quartering near large creatures, quarter by pressing only once and then right click --> quartering (instead of the doubleclick). More than one trip has ended due to one kipee first coming to sniff you from behind and you target it instead (and attack with doubleclick).

12. Combine aim at rear leg stanza with accurate attack to make hitting easier. (or incur the penalty with aim stanza and after that start ramming with accurate attack).

13. Keep all your crafting material with a mektoub and craft near the stables. You can access your mektoub's inventory while crafting.

14. If you're having a bad headache, put a sharp stick under your toenail and kick against a wall. Rest assured, you'll forget the pain in your head.

15. Keep always weapons of different damage types with you. You may encounter a mob that resist a certain type of damage and switching the blade might get the job done faster (and with less downtime between fights than with ignore armor for piercing types due to stamina usage).

16. Before you teleport to a different region altogether, first buy the ticket back too ;P (one-way, remember..)
