Studying Tomes
While most of the skills and spells you can learn in the world are available
from teachers, there are others that will require you to find a tome in which
the details are hidden. When you find a tome with a skill that you want, you
must still ensure you meet the prerequisite requirements. If you have already
met the prerequisite requirements then you may attempt to learn the contents
of the tome by studying it:
study tome
If you are fortunate, you will be able to understand what you are studying and
you're skill level will rise. On the other hand if you are unlucky you will
learn nothing and the tome will burst into flames. If you fail to learn
anything then no practice points are consumed. If you are successful, then you
may be able to study the tome again to learn even more.

command. This command allows you to switch from one assailant to another or
to draw a new opponent into the fight (your other opponents will continue to
assail you). If there are many opponents, you can switch targets to any one
of them but you may have difficulting drawing in new opponents.
Usage:
target <newOpponent>
Example:
target <?= %randPlayer() ?>

The Underwater Caverns
( area )
Creator: <?= %areaGetStat( arknum, creator ) ?>
Continent: <?= %areaGetStat( arknum, continent ) ?>
The Scelestus River has eroded the earth beneath its ferocious waterfall.
The water has pushed deep into the ground and flooded numerous caverns. As
the water stretched deep into the earth, it connected a maze of underwater
tunnels and released old creatures from trapped pockets. It is full of
creatures for veteran adventurers to pillage. However, many have ventured
into these tunnels only to become lost.
Note: The creatures become progressively tougher the farther down into the
flooded caves you venture.
Level Range: (Mid to High)

Day of the Deception
Day of Thunder
Day of Freedom
Day of the Great Gods
Day of the Sun

Tips
- If you are a newbie read through the appropriate help files and politely
ask questions of the other players. People have a tendency to help when
you try and help yourself first.
- Whining is the worst way to get help.
- It always a better idea to practice a few skills to a high % than to
practice a lot of spells to a low %.
- At low levels, other than the illuminate spell, it is usually best to
get offensive skills which will help you get more experience and
practices.Don't forget about exercising! It may be tempting to spend
all of your early practice sessions on skills, but hit points and mana
are important too!
- First time players, Don't forget to turn on SEELEV and ANNLEV!
- To learn advanced telepathic communications (gtell and commune), you'll
need to find a psychic and ask them for help.
- When practicing, be sure to check your max-skill-percentage &
percentage- per-practice to see if you'll be getting a full practice
sessions worth of skill increase. If not, You'll have to decide if it's
worth a full practice session for only a marginal gain to your skill
percentage.
(e.g. You have kick at 90%, at which you can max at 95%, you normally
get 10% per practice, is it worth a whole practice session for
only 5% ??)
- Grouping with people around your level can be a fun and prosperous way
to to learn the mud with a greater sense of security. This does not mean
you should beg people to power level you.
- Make sure you reset your wimpy as your level starts to climb.
- Most of all remember this is a game. Have fun!!!
