Q:
What is the Training Area and what do I do there?
A: This is where
you select an opponent to battle to gain experience, gold, crystals and
diamonds. As you gain experience and rise in level you will be able to
attack higher level monsters. Battles in the Training Area will inflict
damage on you, which you can restore at the Fountain of Ardana. You may
set your options so that following each battle you are automatically
healed by the Fountain of Ardana.
Q: Why does it
say I am currently using 1 mana when I battle the monster?
A: You may select
the amount of “mana per battle” to save time or to use mana
more quickly. The default level is 5 mana per battle. You may adjust the
level between 1 and 5 in the Vital Details area of the Great Hall. When
selecting a higher number of mana, you will search the bodies of the
monsters killed and receive Gold, Diamonds or Crystals, proportional to
the amount of mana that you are using per battle. For example: If you
have chosen 5 mana per battle, you will receive 0, 5, or 10 crystals OR
diamonds.
Q: Will raising
the mana used affect my chances of getting a mana reload?
A: Not in any
way. When you battle at 1 mana, you have 1 chance. When you battle at 5
mana, you will have 5 chances. You should not worry that changing the amount
of mana used will decrease your chances of finding a mana reload. This
feature is solely to provide convenience and save clicks.
Q: How do I
automatically heal (or increase mana used) while in the Training Area?
A: Go to The
Realm and click on Great Hall. Under “Vital details”, you
will find a box that you can check labeled “Automatically Heal in
Training Arena.” When selecting the automatic heal option, please
note that if you do not have enough Gold Coins to heal after a battle you
will receive a message in orange alerting you to this fact.
Q: Are there any
advantages to using the trainer rather than battling other players?
A: The advantage
of battling the trainer is that in addition to the potential crystal you
may receive when killing other players you may receive diamonds as well.
You will receive gold coins each time you kill one of the monsters.
Another advantage of using the trainer is the (rare) potential of
receiving a “mana reload,” discussed in the mana FAQ. Please
be aware that if you have the auto-heal function on while doing battles,
other players may kill you while you are auto-healing. If you are not
paying close attention this can result in the loss of crystal to other
players as well as increased amounts of crystal and Gold Coins to heal/revive.
Q: How do I
battle other players?
A: You may find
other players to battle by choosing either the Player vs. player or
Battle Search links in the main Battle Area:
Player vs. player: allows you to enter the name or ID# of a player if you
know whom you wish to attack. There is also a link called, “These
players are alive” which when chosen will display all players in
the realm who are currently attackable. You initiate an attack by
clicking the Battle link
corresponding to the player you wish to attack.
Battle Search: This
option allows you to filter the level of the player you want to battle.
You may also elect that those in your town be filtered out if your town
discourages attacking other town members.
Q:
What is the Daily Tournament?
A: Also referred
to as the “tourney,” the daily tournament is ranked simulated
battle system that allows you to test your skills (stats) against other
players at your level. The tourney is started at about 12:00 game time every day. Those players who
are signed up are automatically revived to enter into battle until only
one player is left. You will be randomly matched with someone of similar
skills. If you survive the first battle you move on to fight another,
etc. until there is only one player alive. To the victor go the sign-up
spoils (GC and Diamonds). You may also find Crystal on your
opponents’ bodies as you win. On a note as well. If you do not have
the funds to heal, and you are already dead. If you have signed up to the
tournament you will not participate in it.
Q: I get the
idea, but I’d like to know more before I sign up…
A: A great way to
understand what happens is to “view the last tournament.” Here
you will see the way the tournament works. Since much of the battling
system is random, almost anyone has a chance to win. However, you will
notice that players with very good stats will eventually win more
battles. To get an idea of who your competition might be, you can check
the Tournament Rankings List. To see who is signed up for the current
daily tourney you can click the “view sign up list” link.
Q: What are the
tourney levels, and how can I move up?
A: The tournament
has a level system. You only need one win to go up from level 1 to level
2, after that the number of wins required to go up a level increases by 2
per level. All of the “real game” battle conditions (stats,
rings, curses, donation-related armor boost, etc.) exist in the tourney
as well. So from a strategy standpoint, your battle strategy in the game
should apply in the tournament as well.
MISCELLANEOUS
BATTLE TOPICS
Q: My stats are
better than a player that just killed me. How?
A: There are a
few possibilities:
1. That player may have invested time, money, strategy and mana in
getting superior weapon armor. Even if your stats are better, the other
player’s armor may absorb more of your damage.
2. The player may have “Donated to the Game” which adds a
boost to the armor during battles (training area only). While this is a
small boost it may, especially combined with other factors, give the
other player an edge.
3. The most likely answer is that the player has invested time, mana,
money and strategy in buying one or more Rings.
Q: What? Rings?
What are Rings and what do they do?
A: Rings are
items that can be equipped as stat boosters. You can equip 2 rings at one
time.
Ring of Might This ring gives you +1 in strength per
level
Ring of Dexterity This ring gives you +1 in agility per level
Ring of Constitution Increase your HP by 5%
Ring of Giant Strength This ring gives you +2 in strength per level
Ring of the Cat This ring gives you +2 in agility per level
Ring of Health Increase your HP by 10%
Ring of Titan's Strength This ring gives you +4 in strength per level
Ring of the Shadow This ring gives you +4 in agility per level
Ring of Life Increase your HP by 15%
The more a ring
provides a boost, the more it will cost. Currently rings are a fairly new
addition to the game, so players are trying to figure out strategies
about whether it’s best to invest in rings or not. Players deciding
rings provide a good advantage must decide when to invest and which stat
or stats they wish to boost. You can sell a ring but you only get half
the value back in Diamonds, so choose wisely.
More than 1 of
the same ring may be worn at once, though the maximum amount of rings
that can be worn at a time is two. For example, a player can equip two
Rings’ of Life at one time, increasing their HP by 30%. When you
equip a HP+ Ring, a green aura will glow around you prior to a battle.
Q: I went to the
Chemistry Shop to “buy a stat” and I saw a purchase Potions
option. What are potions and what do they do?
A: For starters,
you will see various links in this page. The first two been: Gain 1
Agility, Gain 1 Strength. These potions cost 50 diamonds and 50 crystals
each. You can only buy 4 stat points a day. Although you can buy them in
any randomisation you feel. So you could buy 3 strength points and 1
agility point.
The next potion
you can buy is called a stasis potion. This potion can freeze your
account for up to two weeks, and give you full immunity from all battles.
While in stasis, you will collect your daily mana and cannot be attacked.
It costs 10 Diamonds per day. Be warned, the effects are immediate. This
means as soon as you purchase this potion, you will be automatically
logged out for however long you are in stasis for.
The last potion
in the list you can purchase is known as the black death potion. This
potion will kill you instantly. Protecting you from players who may want
to fight and kill you. This potion is highly effective when town wars are
occurring, since if you have no mana to suicide with then this potion is
just for you. This potion costs 30 diamonds to use each time, and you can
use as many as you want. As long as you have the diamonds.
