43		43
		44	=head2 Moving the Map
		45
		46	You can move the map (I<not> the minimap) around by dragging it with the
		47	middle mouse button. This is useful when you rearrange your windows and
		48	want to move the center of the map.
		49
		50	=head2 Chat
		51
		52	You can communicate with other players via the "Chat" tab in the
		53	"Messages" window. Chat can be heard by anyone and anywhere. You can also
		54	chat by simply typing C<c some text>+return, without having to activate
		55	the Chat entry.
		56
		57	=head2 Basic commands
		58
		59	You can B<move> around using arrow keys, B<pickup> items via "," (the
		60	comma-key), B<run> and attack by holding down control and an arrow-key,
		61	and B<fire> by holding down shift and an arrow key.
		62
		63	=head2 Weight
		64
		65	Each item has some weight, and having a lot of items in you inventory may
		66	B<slow> you down.
		67
		68	=head2 Food
		69
		70	All characters (well, almost all) need to eat sometimes, watch the food
		71	bar to keep yourself fed.
		72
		73	=head2 Depletion
		74
		75	If your stats are damaged (depleted) you should use potion of life to
		76	B<restore> them.
		77
		78	=head2 Signs and other Textual Information
		79
		80	B<Reading> all kinds of things is important in this game. It could provide
		81	valuable advice or even save your life.
		82
		83	=head2 Shops
		84
		85	Specialized shops B<pay well> for the items they are interested in and pay
		86	almost B<nothing> for items which are not of their kind.
		87
		88	=head2 Identification of Items
		89
		90	Selling items B<identified> may be more profitable than selling them plain.
		91	You can do it via spells, scrolls, altars and other means.
		92
		93	=head2 Stuck
		94
		95	If you don't know how to exit a location you can try to B<use>
		96	transportation spells, B<ask> for help in chat, or as last resort, type
		97	the B<"suicide"> command.
		98
		99	=head2 Money
		100
		101	The most common currencies in Deliantra are silver coins, gold coins and
		102	platinum coins, which you can exchange in a bank. Also, other types of
		103	currencies are present in game.
		104
		105	=head2 Talking
		106
		107	Talk to B<all> NPC (the ones with a speech bubble): not only it will help
		108	you to become familiar with game world, but they are also a source of
		109	B<quests> and B<treasure> hints.
		110
		111	=head2 Death and Beyond
		112
		113	Don't become upset when you die, you'll be I<resurrected> at the last
		114	B<bed of reality> you used, after having paid some B<penalty>. To negate
		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
		123	Usually, these savebeds could be found in inns, houses and so on. Also,
		124	these B<beds for reality> are "markers" where you will be resurrected
		125	after your death.
		126
		127	If you disconnect or are disconnected without having used a savebed,
		128	you'll have about 30 minutes to reconnect.
		129
		130	=head2 Exploration
		131
		132	It is very useful (but also interesting :) ) to B<explore> the country. Don't
		133	visit a couple of dungeons on and on, try to find new ones!
		134
		135	=head2 Illumination
		136
		137	Deliantra has light levels and these light levels are changing with time,
		138	and some dungeons can be very dark. To be comfortable with it, you can use
		139	B<lanterns>, or B<torches> with flint and steel.
		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
		160	=head2 Poisoning
		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
		164	increase. You can try to B<wait> until it wears off, or try to B<remove>
		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
		190	writing it by hand.

		196
		197	=head2 X<modifier_box>Keyboard Modifiers
		198
		199	This box shows which keyboard modifiers (Shift, Ctrl etc.) are currently
		200	active ("pressed").
		201
		202	=head3 B<once/REPEAT>
		203
		204	C<Ctrl> determines wether an action invoked via the keyboard (moving,
		205	firing) is executed once per keypress or repeatedly as fast as
		206	possible.
		207
		208	In I<once> mode, each time you press a key, your character will try to
		209	execute the action once. If you try to execute actions faster than your
		210	character is able to, the actions will be queued.
		211
		212	In I<REPEAT> mode, your character keep executing the action as long as you
		213	keep the keys pressed, as fast as it is able to do. This allows you to run
		214	faster with a fast character, but msot importantly enables you to stop
		215	immediately, as no matter how fast your character is, stopping to press
		216	the keys will stop your character.
		217
		218	=head3 B<move/FIRE>
		219
		220	C<Shift> determines wether you move or fire when pressing an arrow key.
		221	For example, when you have applied a bow, then pressing C<Shift>-Arrow
		222	will firean arrow instead of moving your character. Less obviously, this
		223	also works for anything else in your range slot, such as spells or skills.
		224
		225	=head3 B<alt>
		226
		227	Shows wether the C<Alt> key is pressed or not. The Alt key can be used
		228	together with the arrow keys to achieve diagonal movement. It is also
		229	commonly used to define keyboard macros.
		230
		231	=head3 B<num>
		232
		233	C<NumLock> isn't used by Deliantra, but on the Windows Operating System,
		234	having it on can make it impossible to use the B<numeric keypad> for
		235	moving or firing. Likewise having it off on Mac OS X might cause problems
		236	with diagonal movement, so when you encounter keyboard issues, try to
		237	toggle NumLock.

		285	etc.) at the same time, but only one of them - marked with a C<*> - will
		286	be wielded at any one time. You can quickly toggle between the two slots
