		62

		67
		68	=head2 Food

		93	=head2 Stuck

		98
		99	=head2 Money

		104
		105	=head2 Talking
		106
		107	Talk to B<all> NPC (the ones with a speech bubble): not only it will help

		110
		111	=head2 Death and Beyond
		112
		113	Don't become upset when you die, you'll be I<resurrected> at the last

		115	the penalty you can try to B<play a game> with Death.
		116
		117	=head2 Saving
		118
		119	You must leave the game via "beds to reality", or savebeds, as they are
		120	usually called. If you simply disconnect, then monsters can do a harm to
		121	you.
		122

		140
		141	=head2 Newbie area
		142
		143	After character creation you'll start in a newbie area. You shouldn't try to
		144	leave it early, before you are at least level 5 (some characters may take
		145	more or less than that).
		146
		147	=head2 Diseases
		148
		149	You can catch a disease via traps, monsters, other players and just by
		150	visiting contaminated areas. All low-level diseases wear off with time,
		151	but it is recommended to B<cure> them quickly. Although, if you survive
		152	long enough, you can acquire B<immunity> to that disease.
		153
		154	=head2 Magic Resistances
		155
		156	Some monsters are unaffected by attacks of a certain type. For
		157	example, fire dragons cannot be hurt by fire. Try the opposite element
		158	instead. Experiment.
		159

		161
		162	You can get poisoned via a bite of venomous creatures or magic attacks. In
		163	this case, you'll start loosing you HP and your food consumption rate will

		165	it via spells or potions.
		166
		167	=head2 Player Shop
		168
		169	You can sell B<interesting> or B<unique> items to other players. Please,
		170	don't fill it with regular junk and put each type of item in the section
		171	it deserves.
		172
		173	=head2 Quests
		174
		175	Quests in Deliantra are B<unique> compared to other MMORPGs. You'll never
		176	see two similar quests or something like "Kill 20 silver bugs" or "Kill
		177	30 golden bugs". No hours of mobslaying! Each quest requires creative
		178	approach. You can get your first quests in the B<palace> or at the B<quest
		179	master>.
		180
		181	=head2 Arrows
		182
		183	You can buy B<unlimited> amounts of arrows in specialized archer shops.
		184
		185	=head2 Binding
		186
		187	It is vital to B<bind> keys to some actions, such as applying healing
		188	potion to a key. You can do that by using the right-mouse-button popup
		189	menu on items, skills and spells, but also by recording a macro, or by
