[se01] ---------------------- Author: Parn I just started playing this game. When I talked to the shop keeper he said, "You can use skills by equipping armor and weapons," but what's a skill? RE: What's a skill? [se02] -------------------------- Author: Ninja Knife It's an attack that uses up SPs (Skill Points) during battle. It can damange enemies, or cure allies. They don't call it "magic," because they're not just spells, but moves that are used by a swordsman as well. Missing Skills [se03] --------------------- Author: Parn When I changed weapons I lost a skill. Is there a connection? RE: Missing Skills [se04] ------------------------- Author: JING Skills are based on equipment and not characters. So if you change your equipment, you can't use that skill anymore. The skill you lost was probably on your old weapon. Aside from attack power and defense, you should keep skills in mind... Thanks [se05] ------------- Author: Parn Really?! I didn't know that so I sold my old weapon. I thought I just leveled up and learned magic... >_< Can't use skills [se06] ----------------------- Author: Parn There's a skill I have that I can't use. Why is that? 0_0 RE: Can't use skills [se07] --------------------------- Author: JING 1. You don't have enough SP. 2. Target isn't in range. It's probably one or the other. There's a range with every skill, so if the target isn't within range, you can't use it. Can you cast a spell on all? [se08] ----------------------------------- Author: Parn Are there any spells you can cast on all your enemies or allies like the other RPGs? If you can't, it would seriously suck when you have to heal your party. X_X RE: Can you cast a spell on all? [se09] --------------------------------------- Author: Quatro They don't have these. But skills with :Range: and :Range Attack: are something like that since they are area effects. If it's an attack spell, it does about half the damage to the enemy around the target. So if you use it wisely, it becomes something very similar. Well kind of... Healing spells on allies are similar so you can heal other members around the target. About Defense [se10] -------------------- Author: Hinata I bought a more expensive armor, but it got weaker against enemy magic attacks. Why is that? RE: About Defense [se11] ------------------------ Author: Korm Probably :Magical Defense: on the armor is low. There's :Magical Defense: and :Physical Defense:. Even if your Physical Defense is high, if your Magical Defense is low you can't guard against magic damage. Defense and Evade [se12] ------------------------ Author: Hinata Thank you Korm! I wasn't looking at armor parameters... Also there's :Defense: and :Evade:, what's the difference? RE: Defense and Evade [se13] ---------------------------- Author: Korm You should check the parameters of your item. It's probably the first thing you should do. As for Defense and Evade: Defense lessens the damage you receive and Evade is the frequency you get hit. Do you know tolerance? [se14] ----------------------------- Author: Korm You do know that Suvi Lei and Miu Lei(paralysis and charm) can't be avoided even if you increase magic evasion, right? If you increase the :Spirit: status for curse, sleep, confusion, and charm and then increase :Body: status for poison, paralysis, and slow down, it won't decrease damage, but it will decrease the frequency you are affected by those spells. Elements [se15] --------------- Author: Baan There are things like Fire Element in skills. Do :Elements: make a difference? RE: Elements [se16] ------------------- Author: JING There are :6 Elements: for skills, items, and monsters. For monsters, there is an :icon: to the left of its name. There are similar icons in your status screen. Opposing Elements [se17] ------------------------ Author: Baan So if you cast Vak Don on a Magical Goblin it doesn't do as much damage as another spell. Which Elements oppose one another? I know fire and water... Can someone tell me? RE: Opposing Elements [se18] ---------------------------- Author: JING The following are the Opposing Elements: (BTW the reasoning is just something I came up with, but I think I'm pretty close.) :Wood: (draws nutrient) <-> :Earth: (decompose trees) :Thunder: (lights up) <-> :Darkness: (covers light) :Fire: (boils water) <-> :Water: (extinguish) Armor [se19] ------------ Author: Baan I got Plate Armor, but I can't equip it. Can Long Arms equip Plate Armor? It would bite if they can't... RE: Armor [se20] ---------------- Author: Ninja Knife Sorry, but you're right. Wavemasters can only equip the lightest armor. Twin Blades and Long Arms can't equip heavy armor. Other guys can equip whatever they want. You should probably check the :Armor Status: for that. It all depends on your job class, so you better know which ones you can equip. /-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ |PLAY KNOWLEDGE | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ They're too strong! [pk01] -------------------------- Author: MadMax The enemies are strong in every single area I've been in! Check the Board [pk02] ---------------------- Author: Korm If you put in the keywords randomly, you usually don't get to the area that's right for you. You should probably check the Board more. Other players will post low level area keywords. Hey [pk03] ---------- Author: Kojiro Are you forming parties when you go out? The difficulty level varies if you've got friends or go solo. If you've got no friends... well I can't really help you there. BTW [pk04] ---------- Author: Quatro You need member addresses of other players to form parties. A member address is like a business card. You can call up other players in other towns and areas by mail. Just open the menu in a Root Town and select the player you want. If you want to collect member addresses all you need to do is make friends. /-=-=-\ | COMA | \-=-=-/ Help [co01] ----------- Author: Kite My friend is in a coma after playing this game. He's hospitalized and still isn't out yet. But do these things actually happen? Does anyone know the reason? Anyone know someone else in the same state? How can I get him out of the coma? The people who made this game look here too, right? Please give me some kind of information. Thank you. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!WHEN YOU LATER CHECK BACK, YOUR MESSAGE IS REPLACED WITH THIS:!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deleted [co02] -------------- Author: Deleted ------------------------------------- ********** Message Deleted ********** /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ |IS THIS AN EVENT CHARACTER?| \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ Girl [ec01] ----------- Author: TAO I saw a strange character in the dungeon of: [Delta Expansive Haunted Sea of Sand]. It was a little girl with long hair, but it didn't look like another player. She was kind of white - like a ghost and moved without sound. Oh, and the music might have stopped too! I could be mistaken, but if anyone sees her, please tell me! /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ |TEST VERSION OF 'THE WORLD'| \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ Test Version [tv01] ------------------- Author: KYOUGOKU I heard that there was a test version of 'The World' before it came out. Has anyone played it? /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ | PROTECTED AREA | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ I can't go in [pa01] -------------------- Author: waffle I tried a random keyword, but a warning message came up and I couldn't go in. I think it was: [Delta Closed Oblivious Twin Hills]. Anyone know anything about it? /-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ |LET'S PLAY TAG | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ Challenge Gob! [pt01] --------------------- Author: Stehoney Hello everybody. I'm :Stehoney: the Golden Goblin gob. If you wil tag against me, I'll give you a reward. Though that probably won't happen gob. Good luck gob. Oh forgot something important gob. Stehoney is at: [Delta Detestable Golden Sunny Demon]. Come alone gob! /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ |INCREASING LEVELS | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ GAME OVER!! [il01] ------------------ Author: MadMax I just started this game. I formed a 3 member party with my friends and then there were all there strong monsters in the dungeon and suddenly, it was GAME OVER. Aren't the enemies in this game a little strong? RE: GAME OVER!! [il02] ---------------------- Author: Korm Depending on the area, the level of the enemy varies, so you have to find the area that's best suited for you. Area I reccomend for beginners: [Delta Discovered Primitive Touchstone]. Monsters don't vary that much in level, so you won't die too quickly and see that dreadful GAME OVER screen. But there's 5 floors to this dungeon, and the ones on the lower lebel are pretty strong, so just down't go all the way down. You should probably raise your level to at least level 5 in the upper levels before you go down there. /-=-=-=-=-=-\ | Zeit Statue | \-=-=-=-=-=-/ Aim for Hero of Zeit! [zs01] ---------------------------- Author: Admin of Time Does everyone know about the :Zeit Statue:? The Zeit Statue at the bottom of the dungeon is searching for an adventurer to give a title of honor as the "Hero of Zeit." Only way to get the title is to get to the Zeit Statue as fast as you can! Those who want the proaise of the Zeit Statue select [Chronicling] as part A as the Chaos Gate. x First look for an area with a dungeon close to the entrance and that doesn't have that many floors. The Hero of Zeit must also be versed in looking for an advantageous area. Hero of Zeit Ranking [zs02] --------------------------- Author: Admin of Time Current :Hero of Zeit: is as follows: First Place Title: :Master Supreme: Time: 00:02:12 Player: Balmung Second Place Title: :Hyper Falcon: Time: 00:02:26 Player: Orca Third Place Title: :Sonic Hawk: Time: 00:02:54 Player: Sieg Fourth Place Title: :Mach Wolf: Time: 00:03:38 Player: Highlander Fifth Place Title: :Furious Tiger: Time: 00:04:45 Player: NOG /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ | NEW TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ What about this RICS? [ts01] ---------------------------- Author: Nogella You know the new transport system called RICS that starts tomorrow? I really want to know if traffic jams will be a thing of the past. The other day it took me 2 hours to get back to the city from Odaiba! RE: What about this RICS? [ts02] -------------------------------- Author: jell-o No matter what kind of a system, they need to reduce the number of cars. I mean there're too many idiots on the road! Just get rid of 'em!! /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ |'THE WORLD' REACHES 20 MILLION | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ Congratulations! [rm01] ----------------------- Author: NoNo 'The World' has sold over 20 million copies worldwide! The first time I experienced 'The World' was 2 years ago. I still remember how I felt when I first entered the dungeon. I wonder what happened to all those people who helped me out in the beginning. /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ | NEURO GOGGLE FMD | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ Impressions [ng01] ------------------ Author: Caer Has anyone used the new goggles they just came out with? I'm pondering about buying one, but... Someone please tell me what you think... /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ | KEYWORD CREATION | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ Don't quite understand [kc01] ----------------------------- Author: Hinata I got some keywords during play and tried them, but they don't seem to work. I think the parameters on the Chaos Gate menu are way too strong... Can someone teach me a good way to combine words? Thank you! RE: Don't quite understand [kc02] --------------------------------- Author: Korm You really shouldn't worry about the area's parameters in the beginning. Beginners should only be concerned with the levels of the area. This is the parameter that sets the difficulty of that level, and the higher it is, the more powerful the monsters are (and the better the items). If you combine words randomly, you might get a really strong enemy and die instantly. When your level is low, you should use workds with low difficulty. Here's a sample word for beginners: Part A: [Bursting] :Difficulty: 1: Use this and create a key word. They're too strong!!! [kc03] ---------------------------- Author: Hinata I used the word [Bursting] in part A like Korm said, but the enemies were too strong and it was game over for me!!!! Why?? RE: They're too strong!!! [kc04] -------------------------------- Author: Korm There was probably a word aside from [Bursting] that set the area level. Were there more than 2 jelels in the area levels in the patameter list? In cases like that, the word with the higher proiority takes precedence. (One in red has higher priority). So maybe a word aside from [Bursting] was used to set the area level... Sorry, I didn't tell you before... It worked!! [kc05] ------------------ Author: Hinata Thank you, Korm! I see, so more that one word can set a particular parameter. But there are parameters that you can't set with any of the words... What about those? Words for Beginners [kc06] -------------------------- Author: JING These words are also for beginners: Part A: [Hidden] :Difficulty 1: Part A: [Expansive] :Difficulty 2: The highest level of difficulty for an area is :Difficulty 5:. Though even if you use the words with the same difficulty, the type of enemies varies among the servers. Highest enemy in Delta server is :Level 20:. In Theta server, the highest is :Level 30:. Area Element [kc07] ------------------- Author: Quatro It's not well known, but areas are divided into 6 elements: :Earth:, :Water:, :Fire:, :Wood:, :Thunder:, and :Darkness:. The type of monsters and items and rate of appearance depends on these :Area Elements:. AFAIK: :Element: Field Type: Earth: Wasteland (Stone walls) Water: Snow Field Fire: Desert, Magma Wood: Jungle, Grasslands, Humus (mushrooms) Thunder: There's thunder and lightning Darkness: Swamp (Skeletons) It might be slightly off, but I think it's something like this. /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ | WHAT'S A GRUNTY? | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ What's a Grunty? [ag01] ----------------------- Author: Crest I found this item called Root Vegetable in the field. It was jumping up and down... I thought it was a monster at first, but when I looked at the Key Item list, it said, "Food for Grunty." So what is this Grunty? Something alive? Can someone please tell me? RE: What's a Grunty? [ag02] --------------------------- Author: JING Heh, heh. I didn't know at first too. Crest, you're probably in Delta server, right? Well, there aren't any Grunties in that one. Grunties are living things in Theta server's ranch, and kinda look like a mix between a pig and a cow or something like that... 'Food for Grunty' is an item that you can feed them. They don't exist in Delta server, but if you find any of the food items you should keep them. They'll come in handy once you get to the Theta server. PIG?! [ag03] ------------ Author: Crest A pig... Okaaaaaaaaaaay... Well, I'll try to get as many as I can... RE: PIG?! [ag04] ---------------- Author: JING Yeah. You should collect as many as you can. You can find 'Food for Grunty' not only in the fields, but also in the dungeons so you should keep your eyes open for 'em. When you get near it, it goes Boing-Boing, so you can probably tell. /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ | SPRING OF MYST | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ Level went down [sm01] ---------------------- Author: WING I've thrown in weapons into the Spring of Myst that are in the fields, but there are times when the level of the weapon :increases: or :decreases:. Is there a reason? RE: Level went down [sm02] -------------------------- Author: Baan I'm not certain, but weather seems to play a role in whether or not a weapon or an armor gets stronger or weaker. When I put a weapon in the grasslands when it was sunny, it got stronger, but when it was raining, it got weaker. I haven't tried armor, so I don't know. At Night [sm03] --------------- Author: 01 I'm pretty sure weather is involved. Though I don't think it really matters what kind of field you're in. When I tried it at night, both weapons and armor got strong. What if it's cloudy? [sm04] --------------------------- Author: Korm When it was cloudy my armor got weaker. But when there was thunder and rain, my armor got stronger. By the way, aren't Grandpa and Monsieur totally annoying?! I hate Monsieur [sm05] ---------------------- Author: Quatro Yeah it dows get annoying. Both the voice and the face. Well, my armor got strong, so I won't complain. Golden Axe [sm06] ----------------- Author: Baan BTW, is anyone collecting the Golden Axe? This weapon isn't that strong, right? RE: Golden Axe [sm07] --------------------- Author: 01 People do collect it. Someone named Tim wanted to trade for it the other day. And apparently, there are a couple more like him, too. RE: Golden Axe [sm08] --------------------- Author: JING Aren't mose of the people who collect the Golden and Silver Axe at high levels? I was asked by Micino for a trade, but I didn't have it. But if I did, it seems like he would've traded some pretty good items. I think I missed out on a good opportunity there. RE: Golden Axe [sm09] --------------------- Author: Baan You only have to throw in unwanted weapons and armor to get Gold & Silver Axe. I envy those high level players. They've got tons of stuff they don't need. /-=-=-=-=-=-\ | ITEM TRADE | \-=-=-=-=-=-/ Straw Millionaire! [it01] ------------------------- Author: Quatro Starting with "Cat's Blades" and after trading several times, I got the legendary "Megiddo Wand!" I never thought I would get something this good! RE: Straw Millionaire! [it02] ----------------------------- Author: Crest Wow. I want to trade well and get a good item too. If you have any good tips, please tell me. RE: Straw Millionaire! [it03] ----------------------------- Author: Quatro It's not really a tip, but for example, to a Twin Blade, the wand for Wavemaster is not a very important item, right? But even though it's not important to you, it might be to the other party. So you just have to keep an eye on what the other guy wants and offer that item. Oh, and you can only trade :3 types: of items and up to :99 of each:. Good luck on trading! /-=-=-=-=-\ | SYMBOL | \-=-=-=-=-/ What does a Symbol do? [sl01] ----------------------------- Author: Hinata You know the green things called :Symbol: by a dungeon? Is there some meaning for them? It explodes when you touch it so I though it was a trap of some kind... RE: What does a Symbol do? [sl02] --------------------------------- Author: 01 If you touch them, they have a special effect on you, like healing, increasing your strength, etc. Effects are random so you don't know what you might get. Things on fire in the field are the same. When you find one, just use it. /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ | VERSION UPGRADE INFORMATION: IMPORTANT | \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/ Welcome to Ver. 2.75 [vu01] --------------------------- Author: CC Corporation Several new elements were added to version 2.75. We will now explain each element in detail. Element Tolerance [vu02] ------------------------ Author: CC Corporation Element Tolerance is a monster specific tolerance where a monster receives zero damage from Element Skills. It is tolerant to a specific element such as "Fire." For example, if you cast Vak Don to a Fire Element Tolerant monster, it will do no damage. Use a non-element attack (such as basic attacks) or other Element Skills. If a monser has a tolerance, it will be displayed on the right side of its name. Physical Tolerance [vu03] ------------------------- Author: CC Corporation Physical Tolerance is a monster specific tolerance that allows them to remain undamaged from a Physical Skill. If an anamy with physical tolerance is encountered inside the dungeon and there is no one in the party with Magic Skills, then that enemy cannot be defeated. Always have someone in your party that has Magic Skills. It is also advised to equip armor with Magic Skills and scrolls on reserve (Don't forget that warrior type characters can equip Wavemaster's armor). If a monster has a tolerance, it will be displayed on the right side of it's name. Magic Tolerance [vu04] ---------------------- Author: CC Corporation Magic Tolerance is a monster specific tolerance that allows them to remain undamaged from a Magical Skill. If an enemy with magic tolerance is encountered inside the dungeon, virtually all attacks by a Wavemaster will have no effect. If there is a Wavemaster in your party, place him or her on standby and concentrate on recovering party members. If a monster has a tolerance, it will be displayed on the right side of its name. Cancelling Tolerance [vu05] --------------------------- Author: CC Corporation All of the tolerance explained above can be cancelled by decreasing the status parameter with Magic Skills and items. For example: Cancelling Earth Element Tolerance: Decrease the monster's Earth Element status by using Dek Ganz or Stonebane. Cancelling Water Element Tolerance: Decrease the monster's Water Element status by using Dek Reum or Waterbane. Cancelling Fire Element Tolerance: Decrease the monster's Fire Element status by using Dek Vakz or Firebane. Cancelling Wood Element Tolerance: Decrease the monster's Wood Element status by using Dek Juka or Treebane. Cancelling Thunder Element Tolerance: Decrease the monster's Thunder Element status by using Dek Raio or Lightbane. Cancelling Darkness Element Tolerance: Decrease the monster's Darkness Element status by using Dek Anid or Nightbane. Cancelling Physical Tolerance: Decrease the monster's Defense status by using Dek Vorv or Knight's Bane. Cancelling Magic Tolerance: Decrease the monster's Magic Defense status by using Dek Corma or Beast's Bane. Elemental Hit [vu06] -------------------- Author: CC Corporation Elemental Hit is an attack to a monster with an Element Skill that is opposite its attribute. At a set probability, damage inflicted is twice the normal ammount. (ELEMENTAL HIT will be displayed). Analyze a monster's attribute and consciously aim for Elemental Hits to gain advantage in battle. Armor can be changed during battle, so we advise having armor with different element attributes on reserve to use Element Skills effectively. The element relationship is as follows: :Wood: <- OPPOSITE -> :Earth: :Thunder: <- OPPOSITE -> :Darkness: :Water: <- OPPOSITE -> :Fire: For example, if a Water Element Skill is used on a monster with a Fire Element attribute, Elemental Hit will occur. And conversely, if a Fire Element Skill is used on a monster with a Water Element attribute, Elemental Hit will occur. Players cannot receive Elemental Hits. Items in Treasures [vu07] ------------------------- Author: CC Corporation Based on feedback from the users, we've upgraded the items in treasure boxes. Also, different types of items can be obtained from stationary objects such as jars, caskets, and other breakable objects. Items can be obtained from the following: Breakable Objects: HP recovery, cure, and items with element attribute increases. The area element is related to the element attribute items. (There are exceptions). Treasure Boxes: Mostly magic scrolls. Scrolls relating to elements are related to the area element attribute. (There are exceptions). Risky Treasure Boxes: Armor, weapons and occasionally, SP recovery items. Gott Statue: Valuable weapons and armor. A total of three items can be obtained. ____ ____ ____ ____ . ____ ___ _ _ ___ ____ ____ _ ____ _ | | |__/ | |__| ' [__ | | | | | | |__/ | |__| | |__| | \ |___ | | ___] | |__| | |__| | \ | | | |___ Here is all the stuff Orca tells you when you first enter the game, just in case you want to review it, or somehow missed it. Orca: "Hey! You made it!" Kite: "Uh..." Orca: "Hey, it's me. Orca, the Blademaster." Kite: "Woah! You look so different from the real Yasuhiko. Nothing like the real you." Orca: "Hey, in this game I'm Orca! Regardless of what I am in reality. I'm pretty well known here." Orca: "What...?" Kite: "No, you look great. :-)" Orca: "Anyway, take this." >>You now have :Orca's Member Address:! Orca: ":Member Address: is the Flash Mail address you can only access in "The World."" Orca: "With Flash Mail, you can exchange messages with others in real time as long as you are in "The World."" Orca: "It's mostly used by newbies to contact other players to form a party." Orca: "Try it out by inviting me to join your party." Orca: "First, press the :Triangle button: to open the menu." ++Press Triangle to open menu Orca: "In the menu, select :Party:." ++Select Party Orca: "Next, select :Add:." ++Select Add Orca: "Names of players who gave you their member addresses will be listed here." Orca: "Choose a player who you want to invite to your party, and send a Flash Mail." Orca: "Since you just started, you probably only have my member address. :-)" Orca: "Now press the :X Button: twice to send a Flash Mail to me." ++Press X Twice Orca: "...Ah, got it! "Join my party!" It's kinda weird mailing each other when we're face to face. :-)" ++The menu then closes Orca: "See? My name appears under your screen. That means I'm in your party." Orca: "By the way, Flash Mail is only available when you're in a town." Orca: "Oh, and you can't contact people when they're not logged into "The World."" Orca: "People do have a life, you know. We're not online 24/7!" Orca: "In other words, you can't always count on the same members to form a party." Orca: "So, try to get as many member addresses as you can. You'll have more fun that way." Orca: "Well, how you play is up to you, but since EXP and stuff isn't divided among party members - " Orca: "- you really don't benefit if you go solo. :-)" Orca: "OK. Well, why don't we head off? There's nothing to worry about. I found the perfect place for newbies." Orca: "This is the :Chaos Gate:, a sort of transfer device that takes us from one place to another." Orca: "Now, press the :X button:." Orca: "In "The World," each play zone is called an Area, determined by a combination of :3 Keywords:." Orca: "Select :New Keyword:." ++Select New Keyword Orca: "This is the Keyword Screen. At the top is the Entry Plate." Orca: "You put the 3 selected keywords one by one for each part: A, B, and C." Orca: "Left of the Entry Plate are all of the keywords you have." Orca: "You can collect more of them by reading your e-mails, the Board, and from other plaers." Orca: "Now, lets enter some keywords by starting with Part A." Orca: "Select [Bursting] for the list." Orca: "Good. Now for Part B, select [Passed Over]." Orca: "For the last one, in Part C, select [Aqua Field]." Orca: "Now you're done specifying the area." Orca: "Oh, one more thing. You see the symbol on the left next to the keyword?" Orca: "That's the :Server Symbol:. It indicates which server you are currently logged onto." Orca: "This symbol is delta, so we're logged onto the Delta Server." Orca: "The list on the bottom right is the Area Status List." Orca: "See the :Jewel: next to the field type and dungeon?" Orca: "That indicates how the selected keyword affects the status." Orca: "For example, check the field type. See the Jewel on the right?" Orca: "This means that the field type is being determined by [Aqua Field], the keyword in C." Orca: "We don't know what kind of field the current keyword will create until we get there." Orca: "But once we learn the effect of that keyword, we can combine it with other keywords effectively." Orca: "For more details, check out the Board on your own time." Orca: "All right, let's get going to the [Delta Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field]!" Orca: "Select :Warp:." ++Select Warp *Players are warped to [Delta Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field]* Orca: "Before we get going, let me tell you about the :Camera Control:." Orca: "During the game, enemies will attack from all directions." Orca: "The idea is to adjust your view quickly to see your enemy and grasp control of the situation." Orca: "I'll explain more later, but remember, you can only use :Skills: on targets you can see." Orca: "Basically, if you don't use the camera right, you'll be dead before you know it." Orca: "First, rotate the camera. Push either the :L1 button: or the :R1 button: to move the camera." ++Press L1 and R1 to move the camera. Play with it for a while. Orca: "Good. Next, let's zoom in and zoom out." Orca: "You can zoom the camera in or out by using the :right analog stick:. Try it." ++Push the right analog stick up or down for a while. Orca: "Yeah, that's it." Orca: "Finally, you reset the camera by pressing the :R2 button:." ++Press R2 Orca: "There ya go. Remember, when the battle starts, constantly adjust your camera." Orca: "Okay, and this is the :Field:. It's the lowest level in the area." Orca: "When you want to return to the town, press the :Triangle button: and select :Gate Out: from the menu." Orca: "Grassland, wilderness, and jungle are some of the field types. You can set them with keywords." Orca: "The combination of field type and weather determine the :Area Elements:." Orca: "For example, if it's a grassland and it's raining, that area will be a :Water Element: stage." Orca: "The elements also affect the type of monsters that will appear and the items you can get." Orca: "Don't worry about it dow. As you get used to it, combine words to get different elements." Orca: "Now, let's get going on our quest! First, check the map at the top right." Orca: "You see the :Red Down Arrow: on it? That's the gate to the :Dungeon:." Orca: "In the dungeons deepest level there's a :Gott Statue: that usually holds rare items." Orca: "Basically the goal is to reach this statue." Orca: "But enemies are often tougher down there, so gain some levels above ground before you head below." Orca: "OK, wait a sec." >>Orca used -Fairy's Orb-! Orca: "By using the -Fairy's Orb-, hidden data on the map becomes visible, like this." Orca: "Yellow areas on the map show :Magic Portals: where you encounter monsters and treasures." Orca: "All right! How about we go pick a fight? Head for one of the magic portals." *Orca and Kite run forward to a Magic Portal, causing a Goblin to appear* Orca: "For a basic attack, approach the target and press the :X button:." Orca: "By the way, a cursor appears on the target so you can check its name and HP." Orca: "Try using a basic attack to defeat some monsters." ++Kill the Goblin Orca: "You've started to get the hang of it, right? OK, let's try using :Skills:." Orca: "Press the :Triangle button: to open the menu, and select :Skills." ++Press Triangle, select Skills Orca: "OK then, choose :Repth: from the list." ++Select Repth Orca: "When the target cursor appears, select the target and press the :X button: to execute." Orca: "That's it. Pretty easy huh?" Orca: "You can target a party member for recovery or remedy skills and the enemy for attack skills." Orca: "Remember, you can only apply skills to targets within your view." Orca: "Before using a skill, adjust the camera so that your target comes into view." Orca: "Well, you must be sick of me at this point. :-)" Orca: "It's your turn to tell me what to do by using :Chat Commands:." Orca: "OK, I'll teach you the command to get your members to heal." Orca: "OK, then press the :Square button: to open the menu." ++Press Square Orca: "Next, go ahead and choose :First Aid!: from the menu." ++Select "First Aid!" Orca: "Well? It's good to be the boss, isn't it? :-)" Orca: "If you use it well you can bunch up on the enemy or give seperate orders to each party member." Orca: "When you add new members to the party, try various chat commands to see their effects." Orca: "That's it for now! Just remember what you learned and start exploring." Orca: "When you think you're ready, we'll head for the dungeon!" Once you enter the dungeon: Orca: "Now we can start exploring the dungeon!" Orca: "One thing you need to remember is that you can't Gate Out when you're in a dungeon." Orca: "To Gate Out and return to the town, you have to go back to the field." Orca: "The -Sprite Ocarina- will warp you to the surface, but you can't use it during battle." Orca: "This is the treasure box. But you knew that, right? :-)" Orca: "You should know that there are two types of treasure boxes, normal and booby-trapped." Orca: "This one is normal. Hit the :X button: to open it." Orca: "This one's booby-trapped. Notice the different color? Try to open it as is and you're screwed." Orca: "Just use the -Fortune Wire- on it. This item will disarm the trap." >>Orca used the -Fortune Wire-! Orca: "See, now it's safe to open. Press the :X button: to open it." ++Continue through the next room *Door locks behind you* Orca: "Better watch out, we're trapped in here!" Orca: "In the dungeon, there are rooms with traps everywhere." Orca: "The only way to get out of a trap like this is to activate all of the magic portals in the room." Orca: "All right, let's charge to that magic portal!" ++Continue on - Kill monster and procede to room with Gott Statue Orca: "This is the room where the statue is." Orca: "There's only one of 'em at the dungeon's deepest level, and you can get rare items from it." Orca: "That's enough adventure for now. Let's grab the treasure and get back to the town, shall we?" Orca: "If we had a -Sprite Ocarina- we could warp out of here, but we don't have one." Orca: "So we gotta go back the way we came." END of ORCA'S TUTORIAL __ ___ ___ ___ /_ | | __>| _ || | ___ /_ | _ | _> | || | |<_-< |_| <_> |_| |_|_|\___\/__/ Note: If you have a question, E-Mail me at Duo_Maxwell1889@hotmail.com and I may respond to it... Q: Why didn't you use the full width of the browser? (79 characters) A: I made the logs similar to the actual text, so if the line ends in the game, I started a new line in the log. The longest line found in the game was around 50(?) characters, so the longest line in the logs is 50 characters. Q: Why is there a : on either side of some of the words? A: In the game, that word would appear yellow, and it's a sort of key word. Since text documents don't support color changes or the use of bold, italics, or underlines, I used :s around the words to make them stand out. Q: Why is there a [ ] around some of the words? A: The same as above. In the game, the word would appear yellow, and is a location word that you can use at the Chaos Gates to transport yourself to different locations. Q: What are the things with [] around them in the index/post titles? Like [tv01] or [se02]? A: That is the index search keyword to make it easier to use. If you want to read a certain part of these logs, without scrolling through them finding the part you want, just find it in the index, then click View->Find (On this page) at the top of your web browser, then type in the search keyword listed beside the title of the post you want to read into the box in the window and click find and it should bring you to the message you want to read. Q: I found a spelling error! What do I do? What do I do!? A: If you find some type of error, E-Mail me at Duo_Maxwell1889@hotmail.com and tell me about the error and I will fix it! I wrote these logs while typing increadibly fast and not looking at my keyboard or computer screen while doing so, so I'm sure there are some errors. ___ ___ _ _ _ | __| | _> _ _ ___ _| |<_> _| |_ ___ \__ \ _ | <__| _>/ _>/ || | | | <_-< |___/<_> \___/|_| \___\\___||_| |_| /__/ I would like to thank Bandai for making such a great game.
