Q: What is Mana and what are it's uses?
A: Mana is basically the stat you use on other things that will make your account better. When you first start your mana is 50/50. This 50/50 means you have mana left, and that your max mana you can have is 50. So at Reset you will get 50 mana, unless you increase your maximum mana per reset/reload(Read below on how to increase). With your mana you can raise your stats, that help you in battles, these stats are Strength and Agility. But mana is basically the amount of actions you can perform a day. Mana can be used for digging in the Black Hills Mine, fighting monsters in the Training Area (For these two actions, you can control how much mana you use, from one to five each time you do it. Five mana per dig, five times the result of using one mana. It just speeds things up.) You can also pray for either Strength or Agility in the Temple of Carduzo, which costs five mana a prayer, always. You can also battle other players for one mana each time.



Q: How do I get more Mana?
A: You can get more mana by gaining a level through battling monsters or players, or from buying mana at the Fountain of Mana. When you buy mana, your mana, your maximum will increase by one, for the price of one-hundred crystals. There is a cap on maximum mana, which increases as you gain more levels. To calculate maximum mana, use the formula [ Your level + 50 x 1.8, then round up to the next whole number] For example: 1 + 50 = 51 x 1.8 = 91.8 After round up, maximum mana for level 1, is 92 mana. If you're level one, and buy mana, or level up, when you use your mana it will look like 0/51, this 51 is now restored at reset, where everyone is healed also, and then if you buy more or level more, it becomes 0/52 and so on. You can also gain more mana buy finding special mana curses throughout the game. These are for you to discover and can be found in 50% mana reloads, 75% mana reloads and if your very lucky 100% mana reloads. Otherwise the best way to get more mana is to wait for game reset, which is explained in one of the sections further down this page. The clock in the top right hand corner, will tell you what time reset is and what time it currently is now. Mana is restored once every 24 hours. To see how you increase the first part of your mana, the 0/51, to 51 out of 51, read Below


Q: When is my Mana restored?
A: Your mana is primarily restored once every 24 hours at the reset. Reset changes every week. it moves forward 3 hours every Monday, by checking up the top on the right hand side of your screen, you can see what time and date the next reset is going to occur. Other ways to restore your mana are through mana reloads.

Q: When is the game reset?
A: The game reset is variable, meaning that it changes once a week, on Monday. 00:00:00, 03:00:00, 06:00:00, 09:00:00, 12:00:00, 15:00:00, 18:00:00, 21:00:00, then back to 00:00:00. These times are what time reset will occur on a weekly basis. Always check the top right hand side of the screen for the next reset time. Reset only happens once a day

Q:How do I make my Level Higher?
A: You can gain a level by collecting Experience. Experience is gained through battling monsters, or players. As you gain levels, you will require more and more experience to level up again. For example, at level 1, you are at 0/150 for experience. By gaining 150 experience, you will level up. However, if you are at say, level 27, you will be at 0/109350. Your experience is always availble for you to see in your Quicklinks, located at the top left corner of your screen.

Q: What is a mana reload?
A: Mana Reloads are Special Curses which are found rarely when you perform actions. When digging in the Black Hills Mine, you can sometimes find a 75% Mana Reload. When battling Monsters, you can find a 50% Mana Reload from its corpse. You can earn a 100% Mana Reload sometimes, by voting for Lost Realm at the voting sites, which can be found by following the Vote Here link. To use these Mana Reloads, click the link ''Available Curses'' in your Headquarters, and they should be available.

Q: What is Strength and Agility, and how can I increase them?
A: You can increase your Strength and Agility by praying at the Temple of Carduzo for 5 mana per prayer, or using potions at the Chemistry Shop. Each potion increases your choice of your strength, or your agility by 1 point, at a price of 50 crystals and 50 diamonds for each potion. When you level up, you also gain 1 Strength and 1 Agility.

Q: What is HP?
A: HP is short for Health or Hit Points. Basically, it's how much health you have. If you have 0, you are dead. Your maximum HP can be increased by gaining a level. To heal, you must go to the Fountain of Ardana, and pay a small fee to drink from it. Beware, for this fee increases as you gain more HP. After you reach level 5, all revival costs a crystal as well as the usual gold. You are also revived at reset

Q: How can I see who is logged in now?
You can see who is logged in now by clicking Great hall, then there will be a link that says "The Lost Realm is the home of xxxx players, xxxx have logged in within the past few days and xx are playing now". The X's represent numbers that are always changing. Remember what to do to see the online list, but for now Click Here.

Q: What is the Forge?
A: The Forge is a place where you can combine your Crystals and Diamonds to create rings. You can use the Forge by saving up the Crystals and Diamonds that you have, and then filling in the fields where they are stated. Each Crystal and diamond is worth 1 point. For stat rings, depending on which ring you buy, a stat is increased in battle by whatever level you are. For example, if you are level 25, and own a Strength ring of +2, you will have 50 strength extra in battle, however, if you do not have 50 Strength, you will only get the same as your current strength, as you're ring bonus can't exceed your base stat. Rings only help in battle, whether against Trainers of Players. Please Note rings are NOT real strength, it's artifcial strength, so they can NOT be bought to equip better weapons with. You will have to pray for that.

Q: What is the Black Hills Mine?
The Black Hills Mine is where you use your mana to mind for gold, diamonds, maybe crystals, and a chance to win a Mana Reload. You can buy equipment, Gold items types help you find more gold, as Diamonds help you find more Diamonds, and Crystal items let you keep the Crystals you gain. IF you do not use a Crystal type Item, you will NOT gain any crystals. The Enchanted Miners Pic increases the chance of finding a reload. Every 10000 Mining Ability, you can go deeper into the mines, which means you will gain more gold. As you gain more ability, you can also buy new Mining equipment. Occasionally Mining Equipment brakes, which means you will have to buy it again. The Enchanted Miners Pic can only be used ONCE, then it disappears.

Q:Why does it tell me I can't do something because I have the same IP as someone else?
A: When a computer connects to Lost Realm, it tells us the IP address that it is using. To cut down on multi-account cheaters taking advantage of the game, we prevent battles and transactions between people that use the same IP address. You can have the same IP address and someone else if you both use the same computer at different times or if you use diffenent computers that go though the same firewall. Don`t worry about it, just find someone else to battle or trade with.

Q: Why should I logout after every login on Lost Ream and what does it do?
A: Logging out deletes the cookie on your computer. If you don't log out, and let your session expire, then when you login again, you will see the old pages revisited from prior to when you deleted the cookies. Also, if you are on a shared computer, and say a sibling logs in, they will automatically get into your account after clicking a few links, because of the cookies.

Q: Where can I change my characters picture?
A: You can change your character's picture by going to Great Hall, and clicking on the link ''Select your picture'' As you gain more levels, you will earn a new set of 4 pictures at a time. Also, if you have donated 10 USD or more to the game. You can upload your own character images.

Q: Where can I get more help if I need it?
A: You can always get help in the Message Boards by going to the Questions Board. Lost Realm has many staff, which will also do their best to answer your questions, although use them as a last resort, as they are very busy fulfilling their staff duties.

Q: What is Reputation?
A: Reputation is earn by killing other players in a special fight. These fights favor the defender. The amount of reputation you will get depends on AGE, Level, STATs, Reputaion of your victim. Reputation is need to purchase high level items.

Q: What is the Assassins Guild?
A: This is a place where you can receive rewards for PVP. This is level and age based for younger players. You can also head to the back room and PVP for reputation that can be later traded special things.

Q: What is the Mountain Pass?

A: The Mountain Pass is the area where if you choose to go there, is the place which will take you to the Outer Realm, if you meet the requirements. The needed currency to visit the Outer Realm is Algameth. The Prices depend on your level, and it decides if you have to pay from 1 Algameth to 14 Algameth. If you decide to buy a Mountain Pass, you will be allowed to visit the Outer Realm. Take note, the pass you buy will last up to 3 days and the use of any MANA reloads during this period will reduce your pass by one day.  Plan ahead your time wisely when visiting the Outer Realm.

 

 

Q: Where do I look, if I want to try and read up on something?

A: You can do this, by looking for the Help Files link. It is located under the Logout link, and within the Help Files, you can find many things you need to know about the game.

 

 

Q: I am going on holiday for week, what shall I do with my account?

A: We suggest that you put your account into Statis. You can do this by clicking on The Realm, then look for the Chemistry Shop. Here, you will see this writing: Also, we have stasis potions that will freeze you for 2 to 14 days, giving you protection. This means, your account can be put on hold for up to two weeks,

Q: What is an Armoury Key?

A: An armoury key is an item which allows you to borrow items out of the town.

 

 

Q: Where can I get an Armoury Key?

A: To get an armoury key, you must be in a town. When you are in a town, you can request them from the Mayor or Deputy. You’re more likely to get an Armoury Key from the town if you donate Algameth. If your request is accepted, they will send you an Armoury Key from the town.

 

 

Q: What can I do with an Armoury Key?

A: Armoury keys allow you to use items from the armoury, depending on how many keys you have. If you have 1 key, you can borrow Rings & Armour. If you have 2 keys, you can borrow Rings, Armour and Weapons.

 

 

 

Q: What happens if I want to leave the current town that I am, and I have Armoury Keys from that town?

A: The best option for you would be to donate the keys back. If you leave a town without giving the keys back, you and the town lose the keys altogether. This would mean that you lose out, and the town also loses out. But what it may do as well is if you ever decide you want to re-join that town, the chances are your application might be denied.
