Weapons: Polearms, brawling, two-handed, or even ranged are interesting
to train in and will make your character unique, however, edged weapon and
blunt training is the most commonly chosen. By training in ranged weapons
you can have a great attack, however, your defenses may suffer. Brawling
may be good if you plan to join VOLN and learn Voln FU. Pure healers may
not need to train in weapons at all if they plan to never hunt, but i believe
it is still a good idea to train in it anyway EVERY level if you're rescuing
fallen adventurers.
We start out by gaining at least 5 to our AS each time we train
in it. Sometimes more if our Strength stat has gone up. After a while it
begins to drop off to 4, 3, 2, and 1 per level. Even after we reach 140 bonus
in it and only receive +1 for each time we train in it after that it is
important. +40 to your AS is still +40 after 40 trainings.
Shield Use: Try to train in this every level. This will help you to
increase your defenses over time. Once you reach 140 bonus in it you can
make a choice whether to continue or not. After the 140 mark you will only
get +1 to your defenses every 10 times you train in it.
Armor Use: This is a tricky one. For the stronger races like giantman,
human, and dwarf you can get away with little or no armor training and still
wear double leather with no problem. The rest of us should at least train
to 10 bonus. This will allow us to wear light leather. It is recommended
that you train to 40 bonus so you can wear double leather. Double leather
covers your entire body and absorbs damage better. You may at one point decide
to wear something heavier. With roughly 70 bonus (not taking into account
your race, dexterity, reflexes, or strength) you could wear a chain
mail type armor. Heavier armors have some advantages and disadvantages
you may want to be aware of. Look for something that has been lightened or
padded. It doesn't matter as much if you chose damage or crit padding. They'll
both help you. Lightened armor will allow you to carry more without encumbrance
though it may fall apart easier when it is hit by something.
-
Better CvA against spells. A better CvA is useful in an instance where your
spell warding, TD, is lower than a critters' CS. You will be able to avoid
being hit easier.
-
Better damage absorption. The amount of damage a set of brigadine armor can
take is higher than a set of double leather. So you would be able to take
a shot for a minor that would normally cause you a bleeding or broken wound
in your double leather.
-
Better durability against breakage. The higher the armor type the better
it does against breakage. So you won’t need to replace or fix your armor
as much.
-
Weight of the armor. Naturally we can't carry much weight as it is. For hobbits
this is doubly true. The more protection a set of armor has, the more it
weighs.
-
Spell failure. Normally this isn't an issue for us. However, when we move
to a heavier armor, above double leather, we begin to experience this. It
can be worked around by removing your armor for a short period of time to
cast whatever spells you need. Be warned! Spell failure also affects our
healing spells.
-
Encumbrance factor. Each type of armor has an encumbrance penalty. As you
begin to wear heavier types of armor you will notice that it's harder to
stand. This also affects you during certain maneuver attacks. If you are
not properly trained for the armor you are wearing you will always fail some
maneuver attacks. You will also have trouble hiding and doing other things.
---------------------------------------
Spell Research: You should always train in this at least twice every
level. For the pure healer or the casting hunter you can work in a third
spell once in a while. Usually it's from every 3rd to 5th level that you
can. A hunting empath has a better chance of going for more CM instead. You
can only cast a spell that you are the same level or higher of. You can tell
by the number of the spell if you are old enough to cast it yet. Take 1105,
205, and 105 for example. You will not be able to cast them until you are
level 5. The level of the spell usually lets you know how much mana you will
need to cast that spell. If you cast it without enough mana you will get
nerve damage and possibly even death.
Mana Share: This is a great skill to have. You should always at least
train in it once. Double training until you have 100 bonus is a good idea.
At 100 bonus we can get enough mana from most. Having more is even better.
This allows you to get more mana from those who don't have the same amount
of share as you. It also works in reverse. So the more you have the more
you can send to a younger empath who has less mana share than you do! It's
based on a percentage scale and type of mana. For spirit mana to spirit
mana share it would be a straight transfer. So if you were to share with a
cleric (spirit) and you had 100 bonus and he had 50 bonus, he would get 75%
of the mana you sent. For sharing to a profession that is elemental like
a wizard there would be a slight negative. It's so small it is not worth
mentioning.
Physical Training: By training in this you will increase the amount
of health points that you have. Train in this twice per training until you
have at least 100 bonus. At that point you can either stop or continue until
you have more. If you plan to do any healing at all I would suggest at least
singling past this point. With a higher bonus you will be able to recover
health points (HPs), or better known as blood, quicker and it will affect
how much health you get per cast of 1101 (Heal).
First Aid: You should always double in this in my opinion. While it
is true that with 200 bonus and no scars we can skin anything under the sun
this may not hold true forever. There are more and more critters being introduced
each week. Besides affecting our skinning ability it helps our tending skill.
The more we have the more we can tend and for longer. Pretty soon, usually
by title, you will be able to tend severed limbs with the pros!
Perception: This is up to you. For the most part it allows us to see
things that are hidden. It used to play a big part in stopping pickpockets
along with a minor bit of pickpocket skill. This is still in a way true.
Unfortunately not as much as it was. Pick up at least 10 bonus so you can
see hidden trap doors. If you wish to prevent pickpockets you may wish to
train it at least once a level. If you plan to do ranged weapons (archery)
you should train in it every level since perception plays a big part in the
aiming of your arrows or bolts. Possibly 2x a level.
Climbing: If you ever plan to visit Melghoren's Reach, PineFar Trading
Post, or some of the other out of the way areas you may want to train in
this. Melghoren's Reach doesn't require too much. I think it's about 10 bonus.
PineFar is another matter. If you get to the age that you can survive up
there, starting around level 30, you should have at least 50 bonus in it.
The hardest locations to climb in the game are the wall in the Twin Canyons
and the Nightmare Gorge.
Swimming: If you plan to live in River's Rest or hunt in DarkStone
or even be in Voln you may want to train to around 20 bonus in this. This
should be enough to get you wherever you may want to go. Future areas have
been hinted at that require a lot more so be prepared.
Combat Maneuvers (CM): This is an odd skill since it is not implemented the
way the name suggests. It adds +1 AS for every two ranks in it that you have.
It has the additional bonuses of helping your dodging against special attacks
and your ability to ambush from the open. The pure healer should be able
to completely ignore this training option. A hunting empath should train
in this. Even the casting empaths. Even though the changes to special attacks
have made CM less much of a thing to have you should still get it for the
extra AS.
Magic Item Use: If you plan on using twisted wands you should have
at least 20 bonus in it. If you want to use wizard wands you may want to
train in this twice a level until you have around 100 bonus or more. To use
a wand you must have it in your right hand and be standing. Then WAVE it
at something.
Twisted (Mana Disrupt 702) wands can be used in any stance. Aquamarine
(Minor Water 903), Metal (Major Cold 907), Crystal (Acid), Iron (Minor Shock
901), Slate (Disintegration), Golden (Minor Fire 906), and Silver wands (Minor
Shock 901) are the various types of wizard ones. To use wizard wands you
would need to go into an offensive stance to get the full effect of them.
Magic Item Use also affects your ability to use things like Lorminstra staffs
(Preservation 305) and other items.
Scroll Reading: You may want to pick up if you plan on using scrolls
or visiting the Misty Chamber or even casting Living Spell (208). If you
do train in it pick up at least 30 bonus. To use a scroll you must have both
hands empty. Then READ the scroll and INVOKE the spell. So if the scroll
has 301 on it you would READ SCROLL, INVOKE 301, CAST <target>. If
it is a spell in the 1000s, it is a bard spell. You have to SING these instead
of casting them.
Here are some other skills that are not as important
but have their use.
Spell Aiming for the use of fire spirit as a hunting spell should
always be trained in if you do it. The use of wizard wands is dependent on
our dexterity, magic item use, stance, and spell aiming skill. So if you
do want to use fire spirit or wizard wands to hunt you should do this once
a level.
Trading is useful if you want merchant discounts. I have seen people
with a decent trading skill get at least 25% off at major merchants like
the Juggernaut and Spitfire. It can also affect how much you get for gems
and other items at the shops when you sell them. So don't discount this skill!
Ambush and Hiding are more playthings for empaths. As a rogue it'd
be of a low enough cost to seriously consider. Do remember that your ambush
aiming skill from the open comes from your CM training and NOT ambush. If
you ambush from hiding the ambush skill comes into play. In order to get
the benefits of crit level raises you would need to single train in ambush
and hiding from the very beginning. It is a very costly path to take. You
may also want to consider that with recent changes to ambush and hiding that
will make is very difficult for anyone who only singles in hiding and ambush..
You may find out more about ambushing if you are truly interested in it by
reading the guide I provided info on at the bottom of the document. (Note:
It had been stated during a weapon forum that certain weapons have a much
better aim factor than others)
Pickpocket skill helps us see pickpockets better. It also allows us
to pickpocket from others. Not a good idea. I might mention that being able
to see pickpockets is dependent on multiple factors. Not just on one or two
skills. Area effects (fog, lighting, darkness), pickpocket skill, wisdom,
perception, dice roll, and more count into this. A person who has double
trained in perception and singled in pickpockets can theoretically at level
40 block a rogue at level 60 who has doubled in pickpockets.
Picking and Disarming are almost worthless to us in later years. Since
the implementation of Call Lightning (125) we can open most, but not all,
boxes fairly easily. If you absolutely must have a box opened you may want
to go to a rogue instead of doing it yourself. Not only will you save yourself
training points but also you will find that with how difficult boxes are
now that you may very well be saving your life! However, if you want to pick
your own boxes you will need to single in Picking Locks and Disarming Traps
nearly every level from level 0. Or at least every other level. You most
likely won’t be able to pick your own level but you will be able to
get some boxes.
Armor, shield, edged, climbing, swimming, perception, spell research, scroll
reading, magic item use, mana sharing, spell aiming, physical training, first
aid.
If you do not have enough traning points (TP) to train in all the above
mentioned, then train in the most important skills such as...
|
Skill
Shield
Edged(or blunt)
Perception
Mana Sharing
Physical Training
First Aid
Armor
Spell Research (2 spells each training) |
|
Amount per training
once every
once every
twice every
twice every
once every
twice every other
once every
twice every |
|
If you have some left over and you should, train in climbing, swimming, scroll
reading, magic item use and spell aiming once each. You can actually train
in these skills every other training. Whenever you obtain extra TP's, you
can always train in any of them twice in a training except for spell aiming.
As you get older you can train in other skills if you have enough TP's such
as stalking, hiding, disarming, picking, trading and brawling (usually for
volners).
How should I train in my
spells?
Training in Spell Research is important to your profession as you will be
needing your spells to survive.
What spells do Empaths get and what do they
do?
-
The
Empath spell circle is essential to your profession. You need to train
in these spells in order to heal your patients as well as yourself.
It also helps in gaining your casting strength.
-
The
Minor Spirit Circle aids in your spirit defense
and casting strength when roaming dangerous hunting areas.
-
The
Major spirit circle also aids your defense and helps
gain your casting strength.
Spell training for an empath is very important. By training in the empath
base list we are able to heal others and heal ourselves at the same time.
So if you don’t
like the idea of hunting or are playing an empath that could never hurt another
living thing you may find it best to stick with the empath base list at least
once a level. One of the things I tried to do with each is to stagger the
spells by importance. This also gives the benefit of reducing the time it
takes to cast them down to 5 seconds or zero. I’ll take each to level
25 and stop there to let you pick out how you will continue on.
Pure Healer:
The pure healer will have spell training focused on the empath base list.
This prepares them for the new empath spell list. It is also for when the
time it takes to heal down a wound is dependent on how many ranks in the
empath spell list you have.

Level 24 - Empath (1114) and Major Spirit (217)
Level 25 - Empath (1115) and Major Spirit (218)
You should keep doubling in spells for the rest of your training from that
point on. This allows you to get from 4-5 CS each time instead of 3 if you
stop. Triple training in spells can allow you to gain up to 6 CS in a specific
spell circle but it is costly. If you are a pure healer you may want to do
some triple training in spells. If you are a hunter you should go for CM
training instead. It is very important since Bind (214) is one of the only
spells we use to hunt all the time at higher levels. With a low CS we wouldn't
be able to hunt at times!
You might be wondering why there is an emphasis on the minor spirit circle
in the pure healer path listed above. It has been my belief that empaths
should obtain the spells that help others first. The major spirit circle
has very few spells that help others. It has mainly those that only help
the person who has trained in them. Another issue is the changes at the higher
levels that are now occurring. Many of the critters are starting to show
a high TD against Bind. Since bind was the traditional spell most empaths
trained to have a high CS in it has hurt them. By training mainly in minor
spirit or even in a balanced regimen we can avoid this problem.
Another useful hunting spell for empaths has been the Unbalance spell. It’s
a great spell to use to knock a critter down and stun them. Unfortunately,
as with Bind, there are critters that either have a high TD against that
specific spell or are immune to it.
To find out how many levels in spells you have actually learned up to that
point you can type in SPELL at any time. This will tell you how many levels
you have in each spell circle. You can also type in SPELL ALL to get a full
list of the spells you have.
A neat thing that is coming in the future is the changes to herbs. They will
be made a lot weaker than they are now. For now, all you have to do is advance
in levels to reduce the time it takes to heal down a wound with an herb.
In the future, if you are not an empath, it will never go down in time. So
if an herb takes 180 seconds at level 5 for them, it will take 180 seconds
at level 200! Not to mention the herbs will be weaker. The advantage goes
to empaths in this case. The time it takes for an empath to use an herb or
heal down a wound will go down by level and our base empath spell training.
It will be affected most by the spell training so if you want to take advantage
of this as a healer you might want to train up it as much as possible.
===========================
Discipline and Aura should have the highest
numbers
Choosing a Race: To tell how quickly each stat
will grow in a particular race. Take the stat number you have and divide
it by the number under the race and stat you decide on placing it
(you will see a chart as you create your character)
Notice the difference in growth of each stat..
Some stats grow faster than others but can also change the rate of
growth as you gain levels. This, you should determine before
placing your stats. Strength is the slowest
growing stat for Empaths so put a fairly high number
here if you wish to hunt efficiently.

Spell Research:
If you have enough points left over, then you can
triple train in your spell lists which could give you 5-6 toward your CS
(usually every 3-5 levels) |
Weapons: Choosing a weapon, shield
and armor is very important for fighting and defense. you can find learn
about such at
The
Forge |
| Various Wands: For
the wand waver; Slate (Disintegration), Twisted (Mana Disrupt), Blue (Ice),
Aquamarine (Minor Water), Metal (Major Cold), Crystal (Acid), Iron (Minor
Shock), and Silver wands (Minor Shock) Other Wands & Rods
(Embeddable with any of the above) and new wands have been
found in various areas such as a glaes wand & bone
wand. |
SKILLS AND SPELLS: *Continue to train
in your Minor Spirit to obtain Spell 150(Wall of Force)as well as your other
Spell Lists to continue gaining a high CS. To know what skills
OR spells you already have, simply Type: SKILL or SPELL |
Maps: Once your ready
to explore the lands you are going to need maps to help you get around. Try

Depending on which magics you want first is up to you
in how you continue to train in your spells.
With the new changes, I suggest continuing the
Empath Circle and Minor Spirit, at least up to 130/1130.
Whenever you have enough/extra TP's (training points),
train in a third spell circle
|
My Character is ready so now what do I
do?:
Now you have a Name, a Race and a Profession (Empath
of course) you are ready to adventure into the lands of Elanthia. Wait and
Listen to the voices in the alley to help you get started, be patient, you'll
get there ;)
Use your DIR (direction) command to find your way
to town (this command is only helpful for levels 1 & 2, then you will
no longer be able to use it).
Now you are ready to explore the town and gain experience
to level one. Using your DIR command, go to all the places listed. Go inside
the buildings (you may have to go thru several rooms in order to accomplish
your experience) when done, come out. When you get the "feeling of
accomplishment" then you know you have just recieved experience and you are
ready to go to your next destination. Be sure to have the Thrak Inn your
last destination because by then, you will be ready to train again.
The following is a script to help you complete
your first level training: Copy and paste it
to your wizard
Level 0 to Level 1 Script
After you have trained to Level One at the Thrak Inn
go see the warrior Thrak in the trophy room behind the curtain...curtsy/bow
to him then sit down and listen to all he has to say. When he is finished,
he will ask you some multiple choice questions which you in turn will answer
in this way: Answer True, Answer 3, etc etc. When you have answered
all questions correctly, he will then reward you with 3000 experience
pts.
Now what to do?... When you first enter the lands,
you will be provided with a backpack, leathers, a weapon, shield, pouch,
acantha leaf, and less than 1000 coins. These coins are a loan you must pay
back to the clerk. You may buy items with what you have or immediately pay
off your debt. If you do not pay off your debt, you will not
be able to give or accept coins from others. Sometimes when
dpeositing your coins into the bank the clerk will
come and collect your debt automatically.
Go to Moot Hall,
directly to the clerk who will give you a job...to find out what job you
will get, simply ASK CLERK ABOUT WORK. He will give you a message to delivery
which you may get paid for in coins if the (NPC) tips you (Tips vary in
amounts...Jack, The blacksmith is a great tipper.) Usually if you do not
get a tip, you will get another message in return to take back to the clerk
and he may reward you with coins. Do this several times if you wish to gain
coins to pay off your debt as well as pocket some for yourself.
You can take a break from deliverig messages and
do a little hunting in giant rats if you wish.
Yelling in town or on the amunet becomes annoying
to other adventurers, if you must ask where the gypsy or runner is, best
way is to ask politely. I never bothered to ask anyone, i just hunted and
ran errands as well as explored the town for knowledge and usually bumped
into who i was looking for. Oh I almost forgot! You get expeirence
for running errands ;)
Tired of looking for the Gypsy or that ever speedy
Runner?...Then let's hunt! Where can I hunt? Catacombs is the place to
start..Use your DIR again to find the catacombs (Be sure to have your weapon
and shield ready before entering). Now you are ready to rid Elanthia of them
pesky Rats. Hunt here til your mind is full then you may rest and get healed
in the culdesac (entrance to the catacombs). continue this til you are ready
for your next training (you will know when your are ready).
You are anxious to heal the wounded....You
have now learned to give blood and heal minor & medium wounds (bleeders)...I
have to say i did more hunting than healing in my early years. While resting
from a hunt i would sit in TC (Town Center, Icemule Trace) and helped the
wounded whenever I could (I still ran errands for the clerk as well, i liked
to keep busy). In Healing major wounds, If you take more than ya can handle,
ask a fellow empath to help you out, but try not to make a habit of it, they
do have their own wounds to deal with as well.
Remember to always watch your blood level while
healing bleeders and giving blood. Tend your wounds til you can heal them
down. Of course, don't take more than you can handle, you're liable to be
a patient yourself :(
The Empath Spells for scar removal are for
your use only. You cannot remove scars from others. The only way you can
remove scars from others is if they have wounds over their scars. To heal
your scars, you must heal down your wounds first. Then proceed to use your
spells to heal down the major scars to the minor scars til you are scar free.
By now You should be able to heal yourself and
others with ease. It gets quite boring sitting on your rump all day healing,
so get up now and then to stretch your bones. Roam to other areas, visit
friends, or wander the lower level battlefields to help and heal young
adventurers. Do some hunting of your own, but don't sit on your rump all
day. If an empath is truly needed, it's almost guaranteed one will be called
for over the amunet.

Some Places for Empaths to hunt
With or without a partner or two or try a group
hunt if you prefer! Also note that some of these critters
are ~undead~ and you will need your weapon blessed
by a Cleric. You can always find a Cleric
willing to bless your weapon at Voln Courtyard among other places and
other towns such as Town Square, the Park or you could ask/listen
on the net so long as you abide by Net Etiquette.
Check out the
Bestiery to find
out where you can find these critters. It has every critter
listed, up to date, complete with stats, abilities, locations and more.
Here are a few older critters to wet your
appetite...
18-25 : Fire rats & cats, warcats.
Now you're raking in the silvers.
You might be able to come here sooner,
depending on when your skills
Watch out for pounces, fire crits and disease!
26-35 : Pookas, Mares, Miners.
Undead: The Ledge is a great place to hang out,
and you can pretty much always
get a bless there. Pookas and Miners
have nice boxes, Mares have nice skins.
36-48 : Kiramons.
Once again, raking in the silvers!
Great skins. They have lots of blood
but if you hit them in the head
hard enough, you'll do fine
Otherwise you'll be swinginging alot!
46-64 : Shoots, Wasps, Lizards.
Nice skins, and nice gems.
Shoot thorns give us a good taste of
our own medicine.
55-64 : Wind Wraiths.
Undead. Pretty harmless.
They have those nice vials
that gives you three different uses
such as pour it on your weapon
to bless it, pour it into a fallen hunter
to Lifekeep the deader or by drinking it,
it will give you strength..
64+ : Pyros, wasps
Nice boxes. Their shards aren't
too bad compared to shoot thorns
But if you trained well in skinning
you can collect their firethorns.
Firethorns unpoison you simply
by rubbing it.

Camping in a hunting area - Does anyone own
that room?
No. Out of common courtesy you should respect their
right to hunt where they plant their flag. On the other hand, they should
have a good reason to deny you hunting, particularly in crowded or very small
areas. However, even if they were rude enough to answer with a simple "no"
to your request to join their hunting party, it would be just as wrong of
you to start whacking at the creatures as soon as they walk in.
Yes. You always have the right to defend yourself.
But remember that you began the conflict in a way by inviting yourself to
hunt. It would be better of you to just move on and avoid such a conflict
in the first place. If they should happen to attack you then you could simply
take the hint and move on instead of turning the situation into a
slaughter.
No. If they decided to REPORT you in the situation
you've described then I'd guess any intelligent gamemaster would tell both
parties to go their separate ways and forget about it. You would both be
in the wrong afterall.

recently with spells to many professions as well as other mechanics. I will
be updating my Journal as soon as I can, so that all the above makes sense.
