		96
		97	=head3 I lose health, but I can't see why! Or how do I cure diseases/depletion/poison?
		98
		99	Here are the typical reasons why you lose health:
		100
		101	=over 4
		102
		103	=item * You are being attacked.
		104
		105	Sounds obvious, but sometimes you can't see the monster attacking
		106	you. Check the C<Log> tab, as you usually get a message when this happens.
		107
		108	=item * You are out of food.
		109
		110	When your food reaches C<0> you will start to lose health. Eating (good)
		111	food will replenish your food level.
		112
		113	=item * You are poisoned.
		114
		115	Poison will reduce your health. When your body heals fast enough it will
		116	eventually get over the poison, otherwise you should seek professional
		117	help such as the House of Healing in Scorn, or a player with the C<cure
		118	poison> spell. It is rumored that neko san might sometimes cure poison.
		119
		120	=item * You have a disease.
		121
		122	Some diseases have such drastic effects on your organism that you can lose
		123	health. Get help in the House of Healing in Scorn, or ask a player who can
		124	cast C<cure disease> on you.
		125
		126	=item * Your stats change.
		127
		128	Switching items or being restored from depletion can affect your stats,
		129	which in turn can affect your healthpoints. While this is not a regular
		130	effect (it only happens when you change items or are restored from
		131	depletion), it can sometimes look as if you are losing health. You can
		132	restore depletion by drinking a potion of life.
		133
		134	=back
		135
		136	=head3 I lost an item! How?
		137
		138	Well, we don't know. If you don't know, either, here is a partial list of
		139	ways people typically lose stuff:
		140
		141	=over 4
		142
		143	=item You accidentally dropped it in a shop (or elswehere).
		144
		145	If in a shop, if it was money, you can just go there and pick it up again:
		146	shops do not "buy" money. For other items you will have to buy it back.
		147
		148	=item Thieves or monsters stole your items.
		149
		150	Yes, thieves and many other monsters (such as demons) can actually steal
		151	stuff. They can steal about anything that you don't currently wield, and
		152	if they are good, you don't even notice it. Your only chance of getting
		153	the item back is to kill the thief or steal the item back with the steal
		154	skill before the map he is in resets.
		155
		156	Many adventurers find that the old road to Navar harbours a lot of thieves
		157	and is best avoided by the beginning adventurers.
		158
		159	=back
		160
		161	=head3 How do I uncurse/undamn items?
		162
		163	You need a spell to uncurse or undamn items, but luckily, magic shops
		164	commonly have scrolls of remove curse or remove damnation. In addition,
		165	all of the gods except the Devourers can remove curses, and Gnarg,
		166	Lythander, Mostrai, Gaea, and Valriel can remove damnation. Gaea also
		167	grants the remove damnation spell at 300 grace.
		168
		169	To actually remove the curse or damnation with a scroll, you need to
		170	L<mark> the item, and then L<apply> the scroll.
		171
		172	=head3 When I log-in, I keep dying! Why is this?
		173
		174	What happened is that you died of a cave-in. Cave-ins kill you when you
		175	unsafely log out. An unsafe log out is when you disconnect without using a
		176	bed to reality, or when you time out (after 10-20 seconds without reply,
		177	the server automatically kicks players). Safe log outs are when you log
		178	out using a bed to realtiy, or when you are disconnected when the server
		179	crashes or restarts.
		180
		181	If the disconnection was safe, then you will appear where you were before
		182	you got logged out. If it was unsafe, and more than 1 hour has passed, you
		183	will die of a cave-in. If the map you were in reset, but 1 hour has not
		184	passed, then you will be recalled to your bed to reality.
		185
		186	=head3 Where do I find beds to reality?
		187
		188	Inns usually have them, and apartments almost always have beds to
		189	reality. Almost every city has an inn. Taverns sometimes have them, and
		190	they might be in surprising places. Scorn has an inn that is located in
		191	the southern area.
		192
		193	=head3 How does the I<identify> spell work?
		194
		195	The I<identify> spell identifies your items, making it give it's full
		196	description. The spell goes through your inventory in a psuedo-random
		197	order, skipping past identified items. If it identifies all the items
		198	in your inventory, or they are already identified, it then checks for
		199	identified items on the ground, again in a psuedo-random order. If it
		200	identifies all the items on the ground, then the remaining power is
		201	wasted.
		202
		203	The I<identify> spell counts stacks of items, such as arrows or gems, as
		204	one 'item'. It can only identify a certain amount of items. Therefore, the
		205	only way to choose what it identifies is by dropping what you don't want
		206	identified on the ground.
		207
		208	=head3 How come I don't get any change from an altar?
		209
		210	Altars do not give change. This means that you might drop a platinum piece
		211	on a table that identifies for 2 gold, or equivalent, and get only one
		212	identify. The equivalent means that you can make the price up in smaller
		213	currency, like 200 silver, but higher currency won't get you any more
		214	identifies.
		215
		216	=head3 Where can I use building materials?
		217
		218	You can only use them in tiles that are buildable. These tiles are found in
		219	guild storages, and in some apartments.
		220
		221	=head3 How can I Prepare/Improve/Enchant Weapons?
		222
		223	This is done in two steps: first you have to I<prepare> your weapon
		224	for the desired number of enchantments, then you apply the enchanments
		225	(weapons remember how many times they can be enchanted further).
		226
		227	To prepare a weapon, wield it and L<mark> (e.g. using the popup menu in
		228	the inventory) some diamonds, as a sacrifice, then read the I<Prepare
		229	Weapon> scroll. The square root of the total number of diamonds sacrificed
		230	this way determines the number of enchantments the weapon accepts: one
		231	diamond for one enchanment, nine diamonds for three enchantments, 100
		232	diamonds for ten enchantments and so on.
		233
		234	Remember, once you prepare the weapon, it can only be wielded by you.
		235
		236	After that, you can apply improvement and enchantnment scrolls:
		237
		238	=over 4
		239
		240	=item Improve Damage
		241
		242	Each scroll read will increase the damage by five points, and likewise the
		243	weight by five kilograms.
		244
		245	=item Lower Weight
		246
		247	This "improves" the weight of your weapon: each scroll reduces the weight
		248	by one fifth (20%). It will not, however, create weightless weapons.
		249
		250	=item Enchant Weapon
		251
		252	Each scroll read increases the magic by one point.
		253
		254	=item Improve Stat
		255
		256	This scroll improves one of the basic stat improvements (Strength,
		257	Dexterity and so on). For this it needs a further sacrifice in form of
		258	stat potions. The stat potions must be of the same type and will determine
		259	which stat gets improved.
		260
		261	The number of stat potions you need to improve it is twice the number of
		262	stat points the weapon currently gives, plus one (the minimum is two stat
		263	potions, however). That is, a weapon which gives no stat bonus needs two
		264	(C<0 × 2 + 1 = 1> which is less than two, so two) stat potion, one that
		265	already gives I<Str +2> and I<Int +1> will need seven (C<3 × 2 + 1>) stat
		266	potions. Negative stats are summed normally, so I<Str +4> and I<Int -2>
		267	will result in needing five stat potions only (C<2 × 2 + 1>).
		268
		269	=back
		270
		271	Keep in mind, however, that your character can only handle a limited
		272	number of weapon improvements, see the L<skills> command. Item power will
		273	also increase.
		274
		275	=head3 How can I enchant Armour?
		276
		277	Enchanting armour is easy: each time you read an I<Enchant Armour> scroll,
		278	the magic value will be increased by one, the speed, armour (physical
		279	resistance) and weight are increased by some amount, as well as the item
		280	power.
		281
		282	=head3 What is this item power business?
		283
		284	In general, the more interesting/powerful items have higher item power
		285	values. Your character can handle only handle only a limited amount of
		286	power - for each overall level you can handle C<1.25> item power points,
		287	so if you are level 16 you can handle a total of 20 item power points (see
		288	the L<skills> command for your current limit and remaining item power
		289	points).
		290
		291	All the equipment you wear adds to this limit, so if you wield a weapon of
		292	item power 30 plus two rings of item power 14 each you will need 58 item
		293	power (and a level of 47).
		294

		297
		298	=head3 How do I uncurse/undamn items or unwear cursed/damned items?
		299
		300	You need a spell to uncurse or undamn items, but luckily, magic shops
		301	commonly have scrolls of remove curse or remove damnation. In addition,
		302	all of the gods except the Devourers can remove curses, and Gnarg,
		303	Lythander, Mostrai, Gaea, and Valriel can remove damnation. Gaea also
		304	grants the remove damnation spell at 300 grace.
		305
		306	To actually remove the curse or damnation with a scroll, you need to
		307	L<mark> the item, and then L<apply> the scroll. Once the curse or
		308	damnation is removed, you can unwear the item.
		309
		310	=head3 How do I use range weapons such as bows?
		311
		312	First, you have to L<apply> the bow, then it will show up in the lower
		313	right corner in the C<Range:> slot. If it is already shown as C<(applied)>
		314	but not in the C<Range:> slot you have to unapply and reaply it.
		315
		316	When you have a bow (or similar weapons like guns or crossbows) applied,
		317	you just shoot as with spells or other range attacks - C<Shift>+direction
		318	key.
		319
		320	You need to have arrows (shells, bolts etc.) in your inventory or an
		321	active container for this to work.
		322
		323	You can influence how you shoot via the L<Bow Mode\|bowmode> in the C<<
		324	Playerbook => Settings >> tab.

87		345
		346	=head3 How do I pay for items from a shop?
		347
		348	You need to have the unpaid item in your inventory, and then walk out of
		349	the store with the shop mat. It will automatically pay for the item, if
		350	you have enough money. If you don't, you will be prevented from leaving,
		351	until you drop the unpaid item, or if you obtain enough money.
		352
		353	=head3 How do I sell items to a shop?
		354
		355	Just drop the item in a shop. Some tiles in a shop might not be shop
		356	tiles; usually, shop tiles are white brick floors. Try going over one of
		357	them and dropping the item. If the shop is not interested, the item will
		358	not leave your inventory.
		359
		360	=head3 How do I increase my attributes?
		361
		362	To increase your attributes (strength, dexterity, etc.) you can wear items
		363	that can increase them as long as you have them worn. You can get your
		364	attributes up to 30 like this. To increase them permanently, you can
		365	drink a stat potion, which have special colors and a letter on the potion
		366	named 'potion of <attribute>'. These potions can increase your attributes
		367	up to the natural maximum of your race; which can be viewd with the
		368	statistics command. It increases your 'natural' attribute, up to the
		369	'maximum' attribute.
		370
		371	=head3 How do I get my literacy experience up?
		372
		373	You need to read books and scrolls to get literacy experience. You can
		374	also use the literacy skill to identify scrolls and books. Identifying
		375	them gives you literacy experience, and you are still able to read them
		376	once you identify them.
		377
		378	=head3 How do I rent and maintain an apartment?
		379
		380	Payment for an apartment is done in 3 steps. First, there is an entry fee
		381	in the apartment map that you need to pay only once. Then, the apartment
		382	rental fee depends on the apartment model, not you. The taxes depend on
		383	your character level, and need to be paid, even while you are offline (the
		384	rental fee is only paid while you are online.)
		385
		386	You can rent apartments in Scorn's Apartment Shop, and the hourly fees are
		387	deducted from your bank account.
		388
		389	=head3 How do I use passes/keys?
		390
		391	Whatever looks at your pass or key opens automatically, if you have it in
		392	your inventory or in an applied container. Some keys might just open a
		393	locked door, not a gate, and can be used by moving into the locked door.
		394
		395	=head3 How do I find out where the key is to a locked door?
		396
		397	Usually, bumping into the locked door will tell you what kind of key
		398	you need. This key is probably hidden somewhere in the same or close maps.
		399	Some of the characters near by might give you hints or explain something.
		400
		401	=head3 How do I see how much an altar or table costs to use?
		402
		403	You can move your mouse over it, and it will tell you how much currency it
		404	needs.
		405
		406	=head3 How do I drop items?
		407
		408	To drop items, you can right click on the item in your inventory screen in
		409	the playerbook, which you can get by pressing F5 or the Playerbook tab,
		410	and selecting drop. You can also shift + left click an item to drop it, or
		411	enter the command
		412
		413	drop <item>
		414
		415	This command drops items with the names that have <item> in it. If you are
		416	unable to drop an item, this will probably be because it is locked. You
		417	can unlock it by right clicking the item in your inventory, and selecting
		418	unlock.
		419
		420	=head3 How do I pick up items?
		421
		422	You can pick up items by pressing the comma key (,) or by right clicking
		423	the item on the floor, and selecting 'take'. You can also type the
		424
		425	take <item>
		426
		427	command.
		428
		429	=head3 How do I make money, fast?!
		430
		431	You should identify the items you sell. Unidentified items sell MUCH
		432	lower. Make sure you have the bargaining skill. It lets you save lots of
		433	money when you buy stuff, and gain more money when you sell stuff. You can
		434	level it up by buying items or selling expensive items. The higher it is
		435	priced, the more experience. You can get a scroll of bargaining in Scorn's
		436	gem shop.
		437
		438	Quests also might give you something valuable as a reward.
		439
		440	=head2 Playing Together
		441
		442	=head3 How can I communicate with other players?
		443
		444	There are five commands you can use to talk to others. All of them can
		445	be entered by just typing them in, followed by the message, followed by
		446	C<Return>, e.g. C<chat hey guys, what's up?>. If you have a I<tab> open
		447	in your message window you can also just type a text in there followed
		448	by C<Return> (this is especially handy as C<Return> also activates the
		449	current chat tab as well).
		450
		451	=over 4
		452
		453	=item chat <message> (short: C<c>)
		454
		455	The most-used communications command. Whatever you I<chat> will end up
		456	in the I<Chat> tab of everybody else who is currently logged in.
		457
		458	Example:
		459
		460	c uh, that anchovis almost killed me
		461
		462	=item shout <message>
		463
		464	This is like C<chat>, but "louder". Everybody will get your message in red
		465	in their C<Chat> tabs. You should not use C<shout> unless you are in an
		466	emergency or there is something really important to be said, otherwise you
		467	risk being ignored by people.
		468
		469	Example:
		470
		471	sh I am stuck! can anybody let me out?
		472
		473	=item say <message> (short: C<s>)
		474
		475	This command can be used to talk to NPCs (without going through the NPC
		476	dialogue window), but all players anywhere on the same map can hear you as
		477	well.
		478

		487
		488	=item gsay <message> (short: C<gs>)
		489
		490	The group say command sends a message to every member of the party/group
		491	you are in. This is useful when playing in a team, to avoid cluttering the
		492	chat channel.

		500
		501	You can form I<new> parties using the C<< party form <name> >> name
		502	command, and you can join I<existing> parties using the C<< party join
		503	<name> >> command. There are other party commands, use C<help party> to
		504	find out more.
		505
		506	The main benefit of party-play is sharing experience: All experience you
		507	gain is distributed to all party members accoridng to their level (people
		508	with twice the level as you gain twice as much experience).
		509
		510	This is great for training skills you are bad in, but somebody else is
		511	good in, and of course vice versa!

		516	=head3 How does an improvement potion work?
		517
		518	An improvement potion increases your hitpoints, spellpoints, or your grace,
		519	permanently. It does this by rerolling the rolls for your hitpoints, spellpoints,
		520	or grace, and increasing it. This way, if you drink enough improvement
		521	potions, your hitpoints, spellpoints, or grace would be as if you rolled perfectly.
		522
		523	However, only lower levels roll for hitpoints, spellpoints, or grace. After level
		524	10, skills increase hitpoints, spellpoints, or grace by a certain fixed amount.
		525
		526	=head3 How do I control golems I summon?

		565	=head3 How does being attuned/repelled/denied affect casting level?
		566
		567	Some spells are attuned to one or more spell classes (such as wounding,
		568	summoning, fire and so on). The player can likewise be attuned to some of
		569	these classes, giving a bonus, or repelled to them, giving a malus, or
		570	denied to them, making her unable to cast the spell at all.
		571
		572	The skill level is the level of the skill that the spell uses (e.g.
		573	summoning or sorcery).
		574
		575	When attuned, the bonus is up to 16 levels, but never higher than the
		576	skill level itself, i.e. at level 2, the bonus is 4, at level 5, the
		577	bonus is 10 and at level 50, the bonus is 16.
		578
		579	When repelled, the malus is 16 levels always.
		580
		581	These are added (or subtracted) to the skill level when checking whether
		582	the player can cast the spell and when calculating the effective casting
		583	level.
		584
		585	The effect on strength is as if the minimum spell level is lower (when
		586	attuned) or higher (when repelled), and the strength will increase the
		587	same as without any attunement.
		588
		589	=head3 What is the "effective" casting level?
		590
		591	Effective casting levels start at 1 (lowest spell strength) and go up to
		592	100 (highest nominal spell strength). Higher levels are also possible and
		593	make the spell correspondingly stronger.
		594
		595	The effective casting level is calculated from the skill level, after
		596	adding/subtracting any bonus from attunements.
		597
		598	If the skill level plus bonus is lower than 100, then the minimum spell
		599	level comes into play: the minimum level is not only the minimum level
		600	a caster is required to have, it is also the level where the effective
		601	casting level equals 1. From there it grows till it reaches casting level
		602	100, whre the effective level will also be 100.
		603
		604	If the skill level plus bonus is 100 or higher, then this is the effective
		605	spell level.
		606
		607	That means, when you have a spell with a minimum level of 90, then it's
		608	effective range will be spread evenly over the 90..100 range, e.g. when
		609	you cast this spell at skill level 90, the effective casting level will
		610	be 1 (lowest). Casting at level 91 gives casting level 11, skill level
		611	98 gives effective level 80, up to skill level 100, which then gives
		612	effective level 100.

		628	praying skill, as long as you have the holy symbol in your inventory. Holy
