As a little vamp you will enter the game nekid and with only a small amount off money. You go out into the game and you have to make level 2 before you can join a Guild and get some support. Ist the best you do that alone. Right after you created your character you may talk to the ELDER VAMP and he will give you a silver initiate dagger and some novice robes. Just say "weapon" to him and then say "armor". Thats better then nothing for the start .

Since we have a boot camp now some things changed. You have to make level 2 in boot camp and then to find the tent of the guild you like to join. To leave the camp when you hit level 2 just wear or hold the guild gift for level 2 and type the command rub statue. Then you are teleported to your new guild hall. Most tips stay the same anyways. The mud balls in boot camp cure health and the dung balls fatigue . It would be a good idea to stay level 1 until you made enought money to buy yourself a steel blue dagger in bootcamp, it is a really good newbie weapon. Put the money in bank when you collect it so it wont get lost when you die. You cannot get them outsides. And if you can manage to buy clothes and armors too in the hut in there,(steel leather stuff) thats would, be a good newbie outfit. If you join a guild you HAVE TO leave bootcamp.

Only hunt in local and you think you have no weapon yet ?? Wrong !! You have one. Type spell chil and you see you have a attack spell it is the chilling hand level 1 spell and it is called Touch.of.winter

Make a makro for that spell. How ?? Click options up in game window then click makro. Choose a letter of your choice like F1 or whatever you like. Highlite the upper enter field white and type in

Cast touch.of.winter save after done that , and when you hit makro key, you see the spell on your enter window in DF. Now you type in the critters name like traveler or farmer or whatever. Then you hit return and there the spell goes on the poor critter. Three letters will be enough like tra for traveller or far for farmer

AS LONG AS NO OTHER PLAYER IS IN THE ROOM WITH THE SAME LETTERS.

You will not be happy when you do a cast touch.of.winter ba to attack a bandit and you attack Babsy bye accident <G> maybe she will get mad at you. At least type 3 letters always.

If you use the makro like this cast touch.of.winter #1& always the first critter in room will be attacked.

Dont attack dire wolves they are other players shapeshifted into wolves and look like monsters.

Now you learned to make a makro. Go out and kill some monsters to make some experience. Stay away from large bears and too large monsters.

If you want to hunt in unknown areas always ask your Guildmates first weather you can go there or check the map on our Coven Homepage. It tells you where to hunt in low levels.

If you find stuff dropped by monsters try to wear it for now until you get better stuff. But take care dont take stuff from floor when another player is in he might have killed a monster for it and it is a bad thing to take that stuff, what is called looting in game. Too never take things from floor when a player died there. Stay in that room if you can and are big enough, to fight monsters coming in and guard the stuff of that player until he can come back.

If you manage to get some money the first thing you should do is to buy blood in our vamp tower shop it is north when you enter tower. And now already the time has come for another makro.

It goes like this

Drop <weapon>&get <weapon>&hold blood&drink blood&

Maybe it looks like this then : drop dag&get dag&hold blood&dri blood&

This will give you a fast cure if you have no dagger or weapon yet it looks just like this :

Hold blood&dri blood&

This makro will help you a lot not to die so often. Make makros to get weapon back in hand too like

Drop blood&get blood&hold dag&

Another good idea for an makro ist the one to get rid off the weapon which does not allow you to cast,

For example you use a dagger and have a poison needle in your inventory (which allows you to cast AND hold the shield)

Then ist like this : drop dag&get dag&hold need& and after you have done the spelling

drop need&get need&hold dag&

Now you have leaned the essential about makros. Make some for your shielding spells, make some for your attack spells and make some for fixing your gear in smithys like :

Rem hood&rem cloak&rem gloves&rem boots&rem armor& then another for fix

Fix hood&fix cloak&fix gloves&fix boots&fix arm& now of course you need to wear the stuff again :

Wear hood&wear cloak&wear gloves&wear boots&wear arm&

One smithy you find in Reilyn its the way all north starting at secluded valley (go val). Back is all south and go pat.

That smihty is for weapons and shields.

Another one for all is in Tamia deeps. Cli lad in our tower all south open gate go gate go cor w s go cave. You find a bank to put your money in there too after you left smithy cave go all south and go cave again. The second bank in game is in Tamia . It is a building in the second street north after you entered through East gate . If you are small yet go combat parry in deeps and in Tamia or a critter maybe thinks you should not go to smithy or bank alive.

 

FIX OFTEN especial your shield and weapon, otherwises it can turn in dire need of repair or even break and then you need a demon to fix it (another player of the demon race ) and they are not there always and busy themselves and they want some good tips mostly <G> Maybe if you are still small and ask them friendly they will do it for free. But dont forget that and help them too if they need you.

If you collect some money during hunt make sure not to wear too much with you. Put it in bank.
