The 4th Coming Player's Manual
Quickstart Instructions
|
The first screen that appears when you've
connected to the game is the Main Menu. Select Enter
the Realms, which will take you straight to the character creation process
(if you don't already have a character) and ask for a character name. Any
combination of alphanumeric characters will do; spaces are also allowed. You
are then asked to choose your character's gender (Male or
Female). Next, you will be asked four questions. Answer
with 1, 2, 3 or 4 for each question (you can either
type the number of your answer or move up and down with the arrow keys and
press Enter on your answer). Finally, you are given a series of stats
based on the answers you gave. You can either Accept or
Reroll the stats, or you can return to the Main
Menu if you want to start all over again. Once you are satisfied with your
character, you simply Enter the game.
When you enter the game, you are wearing only
minimal clothing (underwear). In order to get dressed, summon your inventory
box (ctrl-i). Right-click on all the items in the backpack until you
find weapons, armor and clothes. Using the left mouse button, drag these items
from the backpack onto the character puppet in the middle of the box. This will
automatically equip these items and alter your character's appearance
accordingly. If you wish to unequip these items, simply double-click on them in
the status box and they will return into your backpack.
When you want to fight a monster, move your mouse
cursor icon over the creature until it becomes a small sword. Then, simply hold
the left mouse button and your character will attack the enemy repeatedly. Make
sure to keep an eye over your Hit Points (HP) bar (top right of your screen).
If your HPs are becoming low and you have a healing potion in your backpack,
press F2 to quickly drink one during combat. This is faster than opening
your backpack and double-clicking on the potion to drink it. When the monster
dies, you will receive a certain number of experience points (XPs) and gold.
Some monsters drop items when they die. Make sure to look under their corpses
for these items.
