...guide for getting started in mirage online

When you first start your life in Mirage Online, depending on your class you may be very weak, very strong, or somewhere in the middle. First of all I'm going to explain what all your stats and vitals in the current build do.

  • STR - Strength determines your attack damage, your weapon damage is also added to this.
  • DEF - Defense determines your attack resistance, your armor protection is also added to this. It also determines your HP regeneration rate.
  • MAGI - Magic determines your success/failure for casting a spell. It also plays a role in how potent the cast is.
  • SPEED - Speed determines the ammount of trainning points you receive per level up. (a max of 3)

  • HP - Hit points are determined by your level, strength, and starting class strength.
  • MP - Mana points are determined by your level, magic, and starting class magic.
  • SP - Stamina points are determined by your level, speed, and starting class speed.

The best thing to do when you enter the Overworld with your newly created character is to get some equipment. There are hidden items littered around the Borlandi area. To get to the Borlandi town is childs play, all you have to do is just walk on the little small town you see right next to you, its that simple! :) A steel knife is hidden behind a bush. A tarnished plate is hidden behind an inn, and you can also get a few gold pieces and a tarnished dagger inside an inn. Dont get discouraged if you cannot find these items, if you can't it means another newbie has probably taken them! All you have to do is walk off of the map where the item is and stay off of it for 2 minutes (and hope that other players dont come on it) Then rejoin and poof! Hopefully you'll see the item and then you can get it!

If you picked a caster, chances are you wont be able to use the weapons you find, the best thing to do then is to go west a map, north a map, and west a map again from the Overworld start map. If you are lucky you should see a spawn of 4 urns on a small island, these are called broken bottles, a very weak starting weapon especially for casters.

To get the broken bottles you must find the path, which is a simple method of trying to go in the water on each tile till you find the right one, then precede to the island and get the goods. Now that you are equipped and ready to go its time to kill some worthless peons with your immense newbariffic power. :)

If you aren't a caster, the best thing to level off of is Cloaked Imps. You can find out which npc's are cloaked imps by clicking on them, and it should say. Cloaked Imp spawn is located just east of the broken bottle spawn (you had to pass through the map to get to the broken bottles in the first place). If you find them to easy (and most assassins and knights do) then try the Werewolfs just north a bit, they should prove to be a little more challenging. If you are a caster on the otherhand and Cloaked Imps are just a tad bit to hard for your liking, take out some Druken Sea Pirates. They are located on the broken bottle spawn and the start map.

Once you are a decent level, around level 8 or so, you can finally start to do something fun! Yes, thats right, fun! :) Its quest time! Woooo! Hidden somewhere on the starting continent in the bushes is a warp to the forest quest! A small collection of mazes you must move through and fight a small boss at the end to get the forest set! A set is a collection of items that you can equip. Once you have successfully done this quest you can do it over and over again whenever your items break! :) Keep in mind that you *can* repair your damaged equipment at shops that have the ability to fix them, but its best not to repair low end items, because really it just ends up costing you more. Unless your time is THAT valuable that you can't go get the item again. Zjin is the first shop keeper that can repair your items. He is located on the first map inside borlandi.

Ok, ok, the Forest quest is getting dull and Cloaked Imps are no longer worth your valuable time. You have become level 10! Now that you are level 10 your stake and your life is in the hands of anyone. Thats right, once you turn level 10, any map with a red name means any player no matter what level (provided they are over level 10) can kill you on sight. Its time to open your eyes and watch out for those devilish players who try to lure you in for a quick pk. Hopefully you'll become a more aware and cautious player now or you wont be able to survive! :) Thats all for the guide, once you get to this point you should already be on your own!

You can also type /help at any time to see help and available commands. Use your directional arrow keys to move around, pressing enter lets you pick up items. Holding down shift will let you run! If you press control you can attack! How easy is that? :)

I hope these helps you on your journey through Mirage Online, and thanks for playing the game! :)
