186=head3 Where do I find beds to reality?
187
188Inns usually have them, and apartments almost always have beds to reality. Almost every city has an inn. Taverns sometimes have them, and they might be in surprising places. Scorn has an inn that is located in the southern area.

205=head3 How come I don't get any change from an altar?
206
207Altars do not give change. This means that you might drop a platinum piece on a table that identifies for 2 gold, or equivalent, and get only one identify. The equivalent means that you can make the price up in smaller currency, like 200 silver, but higher currency won't get you any more identifies.

286=head3 How do I uncurse/undamn items or unwear cursed/damned items?
287
288You need a spell to uncurse or undamn items, but luckily, magic shops commonly have scrolls of remove curse or remove damnation. In addition, all of the gods except the Devourers can remove curses, and Gnarg, Lythander, Mostrai, Gaea, and Valriel can remove damnation. Gaea also grants the remove damnation spell at 300 grace.
289
290To actually remove the curse or damnation with a scroll, you need to L<mark> the item, and then L<apply> the scroll. Once the curse or damnation is removed, you can unwear the item.

328=head3 How do I pay for items from a shop?
329
330You need to have the unpaid item in your inventory, and then walk out of the store with the shop mat. It will automatically pay for the item, if you have enough money. If you don't, you will be prevented from leaving, until you drop the unpaid item, or if you obtain enough money.
331
332=head3 How do I sell items to a shop?
333
334Just drop the item in a shop. Some tiles in a shop might not be shop tiles; usually, shop tiles are white brick floors. Try going over one of them and dropping the item. If the shop is not interested, the item will not leave your inventory.
335
336=head3 How do I get my literacy experience up?
337
338You need to read books and scrolls to get literacy experience. You can also use the literacy skill to identify scrolls and books. Identifying them gives you literacy experience, and you are still able to read them once you identify them.
339
340=head3 How do I rent and maintain an apartment?
341
342Payment for an apartment is done in 3 steps. First, there is an entry fee in the apartment map that you need to pay only once. Then, the apartment rental fee depends on the apartment model, not you. The taxes depend on your character level, and need to be paid, even while you are offline (the rental fee is only paid while you are online.)
343
344You can rent apartments in Scorn's Apartment Shop, and the hourly fees are deducted from your bank account.
345
346=head3 How do I use passes/keys?
347
348Whatever looks at your pass or key opens automatically, if you have it in your inventory or in an applied container. Some keys might just open a locked door, not a gate, and can be used by moving into the locked door.
349
350=head3 How do I drop items?
351
352To drop items, you can right click on the item in your inventory screen in the playerbook, which you can get by pressing F5 or the Playerbook tab, and selecting drop. You can also shift + left click an item to drop it, or enter the command
353
354=item drop <item>
355
356This command drops items with the names that have <item> in it. If you are unable to drop an item, this will probably be because it is locked. You can unlock it by right clicking the item in your inventory, and selecting unlock.
357
358=head3 How do I pick up items?
359
360You can pick up items by pressing the comma key (,) or by right clicking the item on the floor, and selecting 'take'. You can also type the
361
362=item take <item>
363
364command.
365
366=head3 How do I make money, fast?!
367
368You should identify the items you sell. Unidentified items sell MUCH lower. Make sure you have the bargaining skill. It lets you save lots of money when you buy stuff, and gain more money when you sell stuff. You can level it up by buying items or selling expensive items. The higher it is priced, the more experience. You can get a scroll of bargaining in Scorn's gem shop.
369
370Quests also might give you something valuable as a reward.

542However, if you do not have the praying skill, you can obtain it by reading a scroll of praying. This will let you learn the praying skill depending on your intelligence. You can also use a holy symbol to use the praying skill, as long as you have the holy symbol in your inventory. Holy symbols can be found in shops and random dungeons.
