Kirby's guide to being a noob

Ok, so you're a noob? Thats ok we were all noobs at one point, and we didnt even have this awesome guide to help us out.
First off, we need a good mud client if we ever wanna become pro...I reccomend MUSHClient, its alias speedwalks are superb
and I will even send you my alias file if you use MUSHclient. Next up, you're gonna need a decent prompt, that ugly thing 
noobs start with can hardly be considered a prompt, I use this,prompt;

#R<#G%h#B/#W%H#whp#R> <#G%m#B/#W%M#wma#R> <#y%n#Pexp#R> <#G%g#Pgold#R> <#C%a#R> #n%v

Its pretty, and has all the neccesary info. Also, turn bprompt on, its very useful in groups. Now that we got this awesome
prompt, we're gonna need some good eq if we plan on owning mobs.

 This is the hr/dr eq section, a * indicates a magic flag, and that Barbarians cannot wear it until level 25, also means it
 cant be enchanted! Some eq only adds strength, strength will raise your damroll but can max out and make str gear uneffective
 so I made note on the items that are ONLY strength gear. Ok, lets do this;

For hr/dr chars.
Slot         ITEM                 LEVEL       AREA       MOB
Light: Sceptre of the goatskull, level 17-20, mg museam, corpse
Head: Helmet of might, level 1, advanced mud school(northwest corner of mudschool arena), loads in chest
Head: Turtle shell, level 20ish, swamp of jethueslam, colorful turtle
Neck: Animal collar, level 1, zoo, Puppy
Neck: *Spiked collar, level 20ish, high tower of sorcery, calico cat(transable)(pick up onyx bracelets while there)

Body: Exoskeleton, level 1-3, southern road(2s4w from entrance to bee's), Dragonfly
Torso: Bloody jerkin, level 10ish, southern road(south all west from dragonfly), loads in dead body
Back: Assasins quiver, level 14-16, solace museam(sw corner of solace), loads in a chest on western side
Arms: Strongmans bracers, level 1, circus, loads in a chest in Ivans trailor(needs a key from ivan, and a ticket)(+1 str)
Arms: *Hercules armplates, level 20ish, Galaxy, Hercules(transable)(item is anti-evil)

Legs: Rugged trousers, level 10ish, Bartlebys crusty barnacle, ghost Pirates
Feet: *Steel combat boots, level 15ish, Solace museam, load in chest on west side of museam

Ok, I guess thats good enough...with this gear you should be on your way to baller status, and the idol of all the
other little noobs. Ok, dont worry caster noobs im getting to you too! Casters have it rough, especially at r0, and
even r1 if you're a caster/caster combo. You may need help for some of these items so in this section a * means that
you most likely will have trouble getting the item if you're below level 20. Inteligence raises each casting modifier,
but can max out making inteligence gear uneffective, so I have made note of gear that is ONLY inteligence. 
Ok, lets do this;


SLOT       ITEM            LEVEL           AREA         MOB
Light: Jar of slugs, level 1, mirror realms, loads in the swamp on the east side

The caster eq list is pretty pathetic, most caster gear is high level and as a caster its a pain to pop, but with this gear on you
could maybe be a decent noob, not pro like me...but decent.

Alright, you're geared up, and ready to go, heres a few tips from a pro. Get a castle asap, its 5 mil but its worth it. 
With a castle you get a restore prog and never have to rest after recalls, and if you get a portal to solace, clan, and
place your castle at a nice location(like se corner of karach sea), you can crecall to mg, portal to solace, and walk to
areas from se corner of sea. 
 This makes questing much faster and saves tons of time on travel cost. 

Dont be a complete noob and ask on chat as soon as you get a quest target you dont recognize, for one thing, use newbie
noob...but only use it if you're completely stumped. While looking for the target you will get more familiar with the
area, and eventually you could become pro like me.

With you first qps I would always suggest putting them into hp, 100 qps is 500 hp, and thats alot for a noob. 
25 damroll or 25 ctime/cpower is a bit of damage to give up, but 500 hps is the better deal

. The only exception to this is if you know you will have around 60 ctime at level 30, then I would go 25 ctime 
for the two spells a round.
