Title: In training area to learn, and can't seem to learn to attack!
Post by: Helewisa on November 09, 2010, 04:16:14 am
OK, hi all. I'm very new and NOT a tech savy player at all! I have tried using "/attack" and pressing "enter" after I have higlighted the one eyed rat and clicked on the blade that also says "attack". The only weapon I was able to equip myself with was the rock pick I got and it seems as though I just rock forward and back doing no damage to the dratted rat!

Please help me to better understand just how these commands work? Is everything to typed out, etc.

 I tried to find the answer and I am very frustrated at this point and haven't even gotten truly started.

Thank you for any help here.

The rock pick is not a weapon and will not do any damage. Your bare hands are weapons so unequip the rock pick and then you can fight with your bare hands, melee attack, or you should be able to buy a dagger from the fighting instructor. you may have to try different attack modes in order to damage the rat. There are attack stances from defensive to bloody. Defensive does the least damage and offers you the most protection while bloody does the most damage but offers you the least protection.

Thank you for that, really!
Funny thing is i suppose that my bare hand(s) must have finally done the job, because the rat died, but I was unable to retrieve it's hide? Think I died a few times though...creepy!
Thanks again, very much :)

Not every rat has a hide good enough to loot. You may have to fight several rats to find at least one.

Please note that there are different attack stances. Read the "Player Guilde" on the PlaneShift website (http://www.planeshift.it) (expand the left column) or in your local installation, or in the  PS Wiki (http://planeshift.ezpcusa.com/pswiki/).
