If you die, you've been transported to the death realm.  It's a bit of a maze.

You could try finding the exit on your own, you could try asking for directions from other players, and you could try following people.  You could also just make a new character.  A lot of people ditch their characters the first time they die.

1.I have a Brado's Order quest on.my job is to go to Jirosh Mikana and give him the order, but he doesnt need it(they say).How to put him in a good nick to accept the order.
2.Do you have any advice on talking to NPCs(I read the GameGuide, but it doesn't help me)?

Make sure that you have no other quests that involve Jirosh, or that may involve him if you are unsure. If you have several quests open, they may interfere with one another. If you can't discard any of your quests, try finishing them in another order.

Check this guide (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21480.0) for a section on communicating with NPCs :]

1.Help!Help!S.O.S! ::| I have the Brintec fur research quest.The point of that quest is that Brintec thinks Bjorid is tricking him and he wants me to squeeze info out of him ( info on material and a pricelist to compare with his own).Can anyone help me out?  :(
2.how do I learn magic? :oops: :-X

1. Take a look at this guide's section on quests (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21480.0) for a brief list on how to communicate with NPCs and what phrases to use. Once you understand the basic concept, you should do fine.

2. Practicing magic in PlaneShift requires having a magic glyph, and some training in the magic way (also known as school) that the glyph is categorized into. The Player Guide has a quite good section on magic (http://www.planeshift.it/guide/en/guide-magic.html) and how you practice it and what it requires, so give it a read and post back if there is some specific part you don't understand.

Can you give me a specific question, then? What do you need explained better? I think the guide is pretty thorough on the subject, so if you don't tell me what point confuses you I'd just end up summarizing the entire thing.

@ Dear Moderator 
??? What do I want to tell him(I tried the phrases and the two only things that I found ring the bell are:"I need a carpet" and "Tell me about materials") ;).And I want to ask him more about the details and to get him in a good nick to give me the price list. :surrender:
I put the surrender emoticon (aka smiley) because I read the game guide and tried out all the phrases.Therefor in this case there must be a specific one.Can you give me a much bigger list of phrases(a higher spectre of them). :oops:  :sweatdrop:  :woot:

You won't be able to ask questions about every little thing - some details may not even be necessary in the quest. But "tell me about _____", "I need _____" (or "[NPC name] needs ______"), and "Give me _______" are the most common arrangements you will use.

1.Where are the alchemists in Hydlaa( I found one on the roof of the tavern)? X-/
2.How do I mine(dig for gold and stuff)? ???
Title: Re: 2 questions
Post by: Karyuu on April 27, 2007, 10:55:07 pm
Alchemy isn't a working skill or job, so you won't have much use for them - aside merchants that sell potions :) As for where such merchants are, that's a game spoiler that we cannot share on the forums.

Remember our Gameplay FAQ (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21677.0) please:

Quote
23. How do I mine?
Buy a pick, equip it in your right hand, find the right spot to mine and type "/dig [mineral]" where [mineral] can be gold, platinum, iron, coal. Ask in-game for help in finding mining spots.

We also have a Guides and Tutorials (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?board=53.0) subforum, where you can find the Getting Started In-Game (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21480.0) guide with a section on mining.

I am not a Dev, GM, or anything (full disclosure)

This game is not a race to the finish, and the forum is not a Cheat-guide. 

You need to look at what people tell you in quests.  thousands have completed most of them, if not more, so you might be missing something.

take notes in your quest log.  understand window does not close when you hit save, but it does save.

You also might want to learn where your chat logs are.  and get familiar with the forum, quick start guide and players guide and PSWiki.

but understand, if you don't want to think about it, and just want easy loot, you might not want to do quests.  they take thinking, patience and research.  for hints, not answers.

I had a riddle the other day... a group of us who were talking to same NPC spread out... I think we read every book in Yliakum to get the clue that enabled us to, as a group... figure the riddle.  good times.

I would hate to steal that fun from you by saying "tell them '______ _____ ____'"  or whatever. 

also, IC help should be gotten Ingame, IMO

and OOC help is easily accessible.

good luck, and happy hunting.

Yeah, and it's so much fun to get the clues and hints that you are having trouble with by actually RP'ing with people.  If you really can't figure it out by logs, and notes you take, try RP'ing it out.  Have fun with it!!!! ;D  I've personally started an "book" to help me remember where all the herb are that I encounter on my trips through Yliakum complete with personal IC notes and everything.  I even spent a week just doing nothing more than running all over the place to become familiar with the locations of things.

Help!

You can always try speaking with one of the GM's in game or on IRC, or you can nudge me as well on IRC.
