+ Elancian newbie corner!
Hello and welcome to the anime wonderland of Elancia. For someone like you to visit this section, you must be very interested or even lost at the many possibilities of startin out at Elancia. So included within this little section will be the guides and tips for all new starters
+ Select Your Topic
+ Understanding Communication
+ Shortcut Items and Spells
+ Food and Survival
+ Choosing Your Class/Job (Gaining Stats)


+ Understanding communication
In Elancia, there are several ways to communicate. The most basic form starts with the simple "enter" button followed by a message then another "enter" to establish it.

Others, include private messaging which allows direction communication to a certain player inregardless of location as long as he/she is in a whisper enable map and is online. To establish private messaging, first hold "Shift" then press the " "/' " button next to the "enter" button, followed a the charactor's name "enter" then the message while remembering to establish it with a ending "enter" button.

Lastly, "telepathy" which is a broadcasted message. However, in order to do this, you must first have at least 10 mp and have both hands free for spell casting. First enter your spell menu by "Alt S" click on telepathy and watch ur mp drop. Establish a normal communication and include "telepathy" in your message. A special chat bar will appear fill in your message and it will be broadcasted to everyone.


+ Shortcut items and spells
Like most RPG games, Elancia allows players to configure their shortcut items and spells. This, is termed as Macro. To set your shortcuts, first press " ~/` " button a special menu with a few boxes will appear to your left. Click and drag the items/skills/spells into the boxes and the shortcut buttons 1-9 will be assigned to them accordingly.

+ Food and survival
FP, also know as food points. A part of Elancia's player survival system that must not be ignored! Why? The reason being so is because FP affects too many things within the game. Without FPs, you charactor will be unable to regenerate their HP naturally and attacking rates,damage,evasion and even the effectiveness of potions will drop to drasticly terrible rates.

The most important factors of FP are that it enables the usage of certain skills (Double Attack, Defence, etc) and that a 200ml potion which heals up to 80HP with full 20 FP would only heal a miserable 5HP when your FP reachs 0.

Food is important! so never go on an advanture without one. Sadly, most food items sold at the pub only recovers a miserable 1FP, with only fatty pork(2FP)as a good choice of FPs in the beginning. However, do not be sad. Everyone can pick up cooking and make him/herself a batch of fresh Sunny-Side up eggs, which recovers a whooping 20FP.

+ Tips!
Most Intermediate players prefer to use items that only recovers 1FP. However, they use it in coordination with skills and spells (eg: use a food item to gain 1FP then use potions for best effects). Such a method can be practiced but I would personally not suggest that option as the cost of food in this matter would be much more expensive in the long run.

+ Choosing your class/job

Charactor Classes. This, is your charactor's destiny and strength that would make your charactor a strong adversary to the deadly minons of Elancia.

Perhaps one of the hardest to choose, even with the many living examples available in Elancia. So, Iwould leave the choosing to you (refer to jobs section).

+ Tips!
