Newbie Help (Start Here) / Re: help with attcking

This is really great advice - I have lost count of thenumber of times I select a creature with left click, then right click in the same place to get the graphical menu to choose attack, and it just deselects the creature.
Actually this happens a lot with all npcs - right click seems a lot harder than left click - you have to click in exactly the right place I guess. :/
Anyway, I never knew about the attack command, so good suggestion. Can we give rep on this forum?

Newbie Help (Start Here) / Questions about armour, weapons, creatures, items and repairing
« on: December 13, 2007, 11:36:42 am »
Apologies if I'm posting something that has been asked many times before, but I have searched to no avail....
1. Is there a list somewhere of creatures with their hit points, one of weapons and their damage potential, one of armour and its dmg absorption? I have found the list of creatures on the wiki but there's no actual stats. Or does this fall under the 'may not be revealed out of game' rules?
2. How does weapon damage work? As my skill goes up, will I see the damage stats on the weapon description increase, until they reach the max for that weapon, or does higher skill mean more hits near the top end of the damage range for the weapon? What is the range of damage for a weapon? 0 - max? 50% - max
3. How does armour work? Is it a case of: each hit lands on a certain body part. If you have armour there it will always absorb x many points of dmg from the blow, and whatever's left comes off your HP? Is there a min level that always gets through?
4. I've read about the 'creature impervious to attack' message when the npc server is down. however, I often seem to get cases where I attack and every hit misses, and every hit by the creature misses me. Relog does not cure it. Is this the same problem? ie npc server down
5. I sometimes see things on the ground - gold ingots, pies, etc etc. Are these items that spawn randomly, so if I see it, lucky me, and I can pick it up, or are they items left by other players for newbies to pick up, or is it actually seen as bad form to pick up things like that because they belong to someone and you are stealing if you take them? What are the rules about what you can take? Is there a theft crime in game that you get punished for?
6. All the bird things roaming around in one of the towns - not sure if I'm allowed to say the name in the forum - is it permitted to kill them? This kind of relates to question 5 - how can you tell if a creature is actually owned by someone (ie domesticated) and hence killing it would be a crime? Or don't we have domesticated animals?
7. Sorry last question - I'm not sure how vague I need to make this question, and if it's even permitted to answer it. Is there an explanation somewhere of repairing weapons and armour, if such a thing is possible, and how much it costs - can it be done by others, or only by yourself, and whether it's cheaper to repair or replace items.
Sorry for all the questions, and hope someone can help me out.
Thanks
