 new monsters, ask questions on the server via the I<chat> command and read the
 documentation here for further information about some topics.
 
+Before doing further exploration you maybe want to know how to see your progress
+and where to see what level you are and what your current stats are.
+
+=head2 Displayed information
+
+Here is a quick explanation what all main information elements in the client gui mean:
+

+
+=item B<Gauges and Floorbox>
+
+=for image sc_gauges_and_floorbox.png
+
+These are the gauges that display your Health, Spellpoints/Mana,
+Grace and Food. Please hover the mouse cursor above them and read the tooltips.
+On the bottom of the gauges the maximum value is displayed and on the top
+the current value.
+
+Below the gauges there is the experience and level displayed. The level is increased
+once you reached a certain amount of experience points.
+
+Below that there is the range slot. It displays the currently selected range weapon
+that you can fire with ctrl+<direction>. This could be a bow or a spell.
+
+The most important dialog is the I<Playerbook>, it can be opened by clicking
+on the I<Playerbook> button on the top of the window or by pressing I<Tab>.
+There are also shortcuts to them on the keys I<F2> to I<F5>. (I<F1> brings up this help).
+
+=item B<Statusbox>
+
+=for image sc_statusbox.png
+
+It displays all the current status messages that occur while playing.
+For example what you hit, if you gained experience, if someone entered
+the game or if someone said something. The status messages will disappear over time.
+B<Note:> Most status messages are also displayed in the message window, for example
+chatters and if someone entered/left the game.
+
+=item B<Skill list>
+
+If you press I<F3> or open the playerbook via the I<Playerbook> button on the top
+of the window and select the I<Skills> tab, you will see this:
+

+
+It displays all the skills you have and displays the experience points and level you gained in each.
+
+=item B<Statistics>
+
+If you want to see what stats and resistancies you currently have, go to the I<Statistics> tab in the
+I<Playerbook> (for example by pressing I<F2>).
+
+=for image sc_statistics.png
+
+Resistancies protect you from a certain type of attack.
+
+=item B<Spellbook>
+
+If you want to see what spells you have learned yet, go to the I<Spellbook> tab in the
+I<Playerbook> (for example by pressing I<F4>).
+
+You wont see there any spell if you just started, but if you learn a spell, it will show up there.
+
+If you have learned some spells it should look like this:

+=head2 After playing
+
+If you are tired or want to take a break from playing, you have to find a I<Bed to Reality>.
+The I<Wanderers Inn> is the best place to find such a bed for a newbie:
