[0.4] HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
It's simple. You just scroll around and read. If you are not sure where to go, go to Table of Content, which is in blue text.
Use Ctrl+F or F3 to open Find function. Each section is marked by a number. For example, this section is marked with a 0.4.
That's well explanatory. Now view the rest of the guide!
********************
[1.1] HUD
You will see the banner at the top of the screen.
![Posted Image](http://i56.tinypic.com/2h328w0.png)
You will see, from left to right.
The first (face icon) is your name. It's unchangeable. HCS stated that they will not change your name. Not even for FSP. Sadly.
The second (blue boot with arrows pointing left) is your stamina. Movement and attacking will use up your stamina so watch your stamina.
The third (FSP icon) is the link to recruiting. It's basically useless. Unless as a quick access.
The fourth is the XP bar. It's a red bar. It's 100 pixels long. As you gain XP, it fills up. When it completely fills up, you gain a level and the bar empties to be filled again.
The fifth (another FSP icon) is the amount of FSP you have.
Finally, the rightmost part, is your gold amount. That is the amount of gold you have.
My Comments: I kinda don't like the XP bar. Too short, only 100 pixels long.
*****
[1.2] MAIN MENU
This is the main menu. On the left sidebar, you will see it...

I will leave it to you to explore what's inside. But the logout button on main menu will log you out of the game. And the World button will take you to realm map if clicked on.

[1.3] CURRENCY
There are some currencies in the game. There's 5 currencies. Guild RP doesn't count.

![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com/skin/bounty_button.gif)
Here is a way to get FSP.
1) Donate. It will get you a lot of FSP. The more the donate, the more the FSP you will get.
2) Do surveys and offers. It can fetch you free FSP. But sometimes it doesn't work. HCS is not responsible for external content.
3) Purchase FSP for gold. You can do it in marketplace. Marketplace... Oh, that reminds me to add to glossary!
4) Negotiate a trade with other players.
5) Sell some awesome drops (such as Legendary, SE, Crystalline and Epic) in the AH for FSP. Epic items will get you a lot of FSP.
6) Pray at temple. Every day, a player will be chosen randomly by the gods. You can have a chance to win 20 FSP.
7) Get the recruited player to a certain level. As the recruited player reaches a certain level, you get FSP. However, you stop gain FSP from the same player after the player reaches level 150. What a shame. But a recruited player can fetch you up to 53 FSP.
********************
[2.1] MOVEMENT
Here, you can move around. This is an example of map. The 8 buttons surrounding the map will move you. Clicking on one of the buttons moves you in the same direction button is facing.
![Posted Image](http://i51.tinypic.com/zlqio3.png)
Moving horizontally and vertically costs 1 stamina while moving diagonally costs 2 stamina.
*****
[2.2] WORLD MAP
You can access the realm map by clicking on earth button.
![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com/skin/realm/icon_action_map.gif)
*****
[2.3] SCAVENGING
You can do scavenging. You click on Actions. Under Artisanship group, click on Scavenging.
Here, you can pay gold to scout to scavenge on the cave. You will fight random enemies. The higher the gold paid, the more likelier you will encounter higher level caves.
Keep in mind that the caves has a strange force that wipes out the memory of the cave location so you have to pay gold again!
You don't gain XP or gold for defeating enemies. Nor do you lose it if you get defeated. Kill Streak is unaffected. But buff can kick in. But also keep in mind that your items can suffer durability loss. Still, repair it up.
Scavenging do have rewards. If you're lucky enough, you can get drops from the creatures.
********************
[3.1] INITIATING AN ATTACK
You can attack creatures by clicking on one of the three buttons next to creature names.
![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com/skin/icon_action_attack1_1.gif)
![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com/skin/icon_action_attack2.gif)
![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com/skin/icon_action_attack3.gif)
Note that the keyboard shortcut is not available for Champions, Elites and Super Elites. It is still available for Legendary and Titan creatures.
*****
[3.2] VIEWING CREATURE INFORMATION
You can view the information by clicking on the eye icon.
![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com/skin/icon_action_view.gif)
*****
[3.3] PvP GUIDE
Creatures aren't the only ones you can fight. You can also fight players. To do so, you can do either 2 ways. By clicking on sword icon next to player name. Or you can click on Actions. Look for Attack Player under PvP group.
![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com/skin/icon_action_player.gif)
Once you enter the Attack Player page, you can set anywhere between 10-100 stamina for attacking player. Player who initiated the attack goes first. The more the stamina used, the more the XP and Gold will be removed. Player who loses the fight will lose PvP rating. The winner receives PvP rating equivalent to the losing player's PvP rating loss. This is called PvP Rating Transfer.
But PvP is always risky. Once you attack the player, players can bounty you. Being bountied is player's #1 worst nightmare, They lose more XP than normal. In fact, XP loss is doubled. Gold loss is still normal. Player can lose up to 5 levels from bounties.
Keep in mind that players can attack you from virtually anywhere.
Don't forget that there is PvP Ladder. If you click on Top Rated then click on PvP Ladder, you will see previous result of top 50. PvP Rating will reset to 1000 each week and players in top 50 will be awarded. If you are on top 50, you will earn PvP Tokens for rewards. It's the riskiest currency ever. PvPers always risk their level.
My Comments: I don't do PvP. Sorta.
*****
[3.4] GvG GUIDE
GvG stands for Guild versus Guild. It's a bit like PvP, but there's no gold, XP, or PvP rating loss. Here, players participate in the conflict. To win, the guild must score more than each other. Each guild is allowed a preset of 50, 75, or 100 attacks. The maximum possible score is equivalent to the preset amount of allowed attack. If guild loses, they lose GvG rating. (and a waste of FSP and gold if initiated). If guild is draw, RP and GvG rating is unaffected. If guild wins, they gets GvG Rating as well as 10 guild RP.
BUT, in order for the guild conflict to end officially, one of the guild must complete the allowed amount of attacks and wait until the timer ends. Otherwise, it's a draw. There is a time limit to guild conflict, which is one day.
To start a conflict, 1 FSP and 50,000 gold is required.
Guild RP (Guild Reputation Points) can be obtained by winning in conflict. They are spent on rewards. It can be a buff. But the best of all, it can be used to buy Epic quest items which means you can use it to make an Epic items. Take heed though, the chance is not 100%. If you fail to make an Epic item, think of the wasted Guild RP.
Also, on a final note on GvG: Repair your items. Even though GvG can't take away gold, XP or PvP Rating, you can still lose item durability. So repair it up.
My Comments: In my guild Mad Monks, I know for sure, the maximum amount of attacks had been 50 so far. Have never seen 75 or 100.
********************
[4.1] SKILLS
As you level up, you gain 5 skill points after allocating level up points.
Skill is broken down into 3 categories: Offense, Defense and Special.
![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com//skills/offense.gif)
![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com//skills/defense.gif)
![Posted Image](http://fileserver.huntedcow.com//skills/special.gif)
Offense makes you more powerful while Defense helps to protect you from more damage. Special can aid you in doing certain things. Special can help you to grind some XP and farm gold.
*****
[4.2] INVENTORY
You start with 3 inventory slots (pretty small, eh?) and that is where your items will go after you loot or buy items. It costs 15 FSP to upgrade inventory capacity. (15 FSP for 1 slot is a bit expensive, eh?)
There are 13 item types. 9 of them are equipment (Helmet, Armor, Gloves, Boots, Weapon, Shield, Ring, Amulet and Rune.) The other 2 are consumables (Recipes and Potions). The last 2 is miscellaneous (Quest Item and Resources).
*****
[4.3] INVENTING
Inventing is something that allows you to make an item. To access, click on Actions. Under Artisanship group, click on Inventing.
First of all, to start making items, you MUST get the RECIPES first! If you click on it, you will permanently learn the recipe. Most recipes can be bought from shops.
After learning the recipe, you have to study which items are required to make an item. Take a good look and memorize it. Most of required items are looted from creatures. Some are bought from store.
Finally once you get the required items, click on recipes. If you have the items required, click on Invent. Note that the chance varies, depending on how hard it is to make. If you succeed, items will be added to your mailbox. You have one hour to pick it up though. Be aware that if you fail to make the item, items used in making item will be destroyed and you will have to get it again.
