Welcome new adventurer! The goal of this file is to provide some helpful insight into some of the aspects of adventuring in ThresholdRPG.

==Areas==
When you first start out you'll probably want to visit the [[Sable Farm|farm]] south of Sable City and/or the [[gingerbread house]] north of [[Sable City]]. Both locations can be found in '''help newbiareas''' and it is worth noting that the directions contained therein use the [[Marble Fountain]] in the [[Center of town|Center of Town]] as the starting point. Areas in Threshold are set for level ranges. This means that the foes found around the farm as well as the gingerbread house are not ALL easily defeatable by someone in [[heritage]], and some are challenging up to level 5. Pick your fights wisely. If you're going to be defeated, simply leave in any direction you can to get away.

===Related Topics===
* [[newbie areas]]

==Combat==
Combat for a newcomer is pretty straight forward. You attack your foe and use your newbie spell until either you or your foe is dead. Once you join a [[guilds|guild]] you will have access to other abilities. As mentioned above, you should be wary of what you are fighting. Use the xa command frequently to determine your foe's condition as you progress through the fight. If you find that you are not really doing a lot of damage, your foe may simply be too strong for you. You should probably either eat food to heal up and keep trying or just run away. A lot of newcomers die frequently by not making use of these three very key things: '''[[Xa command|xa]]''', '''[[newbie spell|newbie]]''' and '''[[help flee|running away]]'''. You shouldn't have to eat a lot of food when you're just starting out. If you find that you are, then you should probably wait until you level a bit before returning to that kind of foe again.

===Related Topics===
* [[combat]]
* [[attack command]]
* [[newbie spell]]
* [[xa command]]

==Food==
Food is a MAJOR part of regular adventuring life. Most people buy their food at [[[taverns]]], but a newcomer has the distinct advantage of being readily able to find free food all over the place. The farm has vegetables that litter the the ground while the gingerbread farm has fruit trees where you can pick fruit.

===Related Topics===
* [[food]]

==Gear==
Make sure you're geared up before starting the killing! Wield your weapon, equip your armor. If you don't have any, you can find some in the [[newbie academy]] to the west of the Map Machine by typing "suit up". Also, adventurers regularly throw things into the [[heritage rooms]], so check there if you've recently died and it's too soon to "suit up".

===Related Topics===
* [[armor]]
* [[weapons]]
* [[equip command]]
* [[wield command]]

==STEA==
As always, the [[STEA]] is there to help and guide you through any questions you may have. Please feel free to ask on the [[Heritage channel|heritage channel]] for assistance or visit the STEA offices by going up from the [[Map machine]] in the [[Adventurers Guild]] and typing "help me".

Good luck!!

 Threshold also supplies an unofficial [[Mudlet gui]]. If you are using [[Mudlet]], you can install the UI, which is admittedly very basic, but will certainly provide better visualisation of your health and status.

+It is worth noting that not all foes in a given area are the same level. This means that if you are in a level 1 zone, some of the foes will be level 1, but others may be level 2 or 3. The difficulty will increase with the foe's level, but also will the rewards.
