Walkthrough

This is a simple Walkthrough, which should see you get through Level 1 and get all the gear you need to start fighting as well as learn the basics of quests, equipment, inventory and resting ! As a new player you will begin on the Tutorial Estate, this is a relatively small area, you will be greeted by an NPC ... Guide Derwa she will explain some things to you and offer you a quest. Note: You start naked, with no clothing, weapons or armor as you are a newly acquired slave to Baron Drako. The quests shown below offer clothing, armor and weapons as rewards, without them you will find it very hard going. Essential Quests General Notes Lands of Hope is controlled almost entirely by mouse, there are some short cut keys and the Arrow Keys on the Keyboard may also be used to move your Avatar around the mini-map, although for anyone skilled with a mouse clicking on the Tile on the mini-map to move there is a lot faster. For Example: Clicking on an NPC will try to talk with them. Clicking on a Monster will try to attack it. Clicking on a map tile, room will move to that location. At the top of the game screen is a series of Menus, these give you access to hundreds of screens (there are over 600 screens in LoH), you should try each menu at least once so you know where some screens are some of the screens like the Inventory > Equipment screens are essential to your character, this screen is how you equip and unequip your items. As you change equipment, you may find your Health and Mana does not regenerate to full, this is normal. There is no regenerate over time feature, instead if you find your Health or Mana is not full goto World > Rest and you will rest and regenerate to full. If you die, you will become a ghost and your map may go gray, this is so you know you are dead ... you may also notice you are dead by the fact no one shows up in the main window and you might see ??? as the name of your current location. If you are dead you must seek out a Healer or a Shrine of Life, healers are very common and can be found in most towns ... if you find you die on the Tutorial Estate there is a Button at the top of the screen to the right of your Character Name, which is labeled "Return to Quarters" you can use this to return to Guide Derwas hut, and one square north of this is a Healer. The tutorial covers 5 levels of gameplay, at level 5 you are summoned to go speak to the Baron who will grant you your freedom at which point you get to access the real game, with its 100,000+ tiles to explore and extensive skill systems.
