-----------------------------------------------------
1.1 - Weapons and Armour
-----------------------------------------------------

One of the main things people are unclear about in LORD is how weapons and armour work. When you buy a weapon in King Arthur's Weapons, the weapon has a certain strength based on how much you paid for the weapon. The more you paid, the harder the weapon hits. Here is the weapon
list, with costs-
1. Stick 200
2. Dagger 1,000
3. Short Sword 3,000
4. Long Sword 10,000
5. Huge Axe 30,000
6. Bone Cruncher 100,000
7. Twin Swords 150,000
8. Power Axe 200,000
9. Able's Sword 400,000
10. Wan's Weapon 1,000,000
11. Spear of Gold 4,000,000
12. Crystal Shard 10,000,000
13. Nira's Teeth 40,000,000
14. Blood Sword 100,000,000
15. Death Sword 400,000,000

If you decide to sell your weapon, you will get about half of the money you bought the weapon for.
Armour works the same way, sort of. The more you spend, the less hit points you get taken away from you.
1. Coat 200
2. Heavy Coat 1,000
3. Leather Vest 3,000
4. Bronze Armour 10,000
5. Iron Armour 30,000
6. Graphite Armor 100,000
7. Erdrick's Armour 150,000
8. Armour of Death 200,000
9. Able's Armour 400,000
10. Full Body Armour 1,000,000
11. Blood Armor 4,000,000
12. Magic Protection 10,000,000
13. Belar's Mail 40,000,000
14. Golden Armour 100,000,000
15. Armour Of Lore 400,000,000

1.2 Skill Classes
------------------------------------------------------

In the game, you are always interested in a certain skills. The skills have certain advantages and disadvantages. Here they are-

Death Knight Skills- You are a member of the Death Knights, which can inflict twice as much damage as a regular warrior when you use your skills. To get the skills faster, pick 1 in the death knight dungeon on odd numbered days, and 2 on even numbered days
Advantages - VERY POWERFUL
Disadvantages - Takes a while to master, don't go to dungeon often.

Mystical Skills - You were always interested in dabbling in the Mystical forces. Some skills are- Pinch real hard, Disappear, Heat Wave, Light
Shield, Shatter, and Mind Heal. To gain skills faster, this is the way to guess numbers. Guess 50, and then guess 25 either higher or lower (depending on what he says), then guess 12 more or less, then 6, then 3. That leaves you with 2 numbers. Now, instead of having a 1 percent chance to guess the number,
you have a 50 percent chance of doing it.
Advantages- More powerful than Death Knight at higher levels
Disadvantages- Hard to kill people early in the game with the skills

Thieving Skills- A member of the thieves guild, you are sometimes hated because of your job. But remember, "Even thieves have honor"
Advantages- Quick to master, powerful, able to rob bank.
Disadvantages- Not very powerful.

1.3 The Forest and the Inn
-----------------------------------------------------------
The forest and inn are two of the most useful places in LORD. Here are the benefits of each-

-----------------------------------------------------------
1.31 The Forest
-----------------------------------------------------------

Fairies- Bring you back to life, give you horses, and help you rob the bank!
Hammer Stone- Increases attack strength
Old Man- Increases charm, as well as money.
Old Witch- Free hit point for a gem
Gems- Purchase things at the Inn, get more Theiving skills
Dark Cloak Tavern- Gamble, Learn about Colors, Learn about your enemies (hehehehe) and change your skills.

------------------------------------------------------------
1.32 The Inn
------------------------------------------------------------

The Bartender- Buy elixers, attack enemies, change your name Seth Able- (one of the following)
-One extra forest fight
-Two extra forest fights
-Three extra forest fights
-Hit Points maxed out
-One extra hit point
-Extra charm point
-Double Money in bank
Flirting with Violet of Seth Able (depending on gender)
You can gain exp. and possibly a spouse if you have over 100 charm when you ask them to marry you. It might not always be a smart idea to marry them, because when (YES, WHEN) they divorce you you'll only have 50 charm left.
Engaging in conversation always makes you more popular, and that may help you build alliances.

------------------------------------------------------------
1.4 Advancing in Levels
------------------------------------------------------------

Advancing in levels is perhaps the single most important thing in LORD. Advancing to level 12 enables you to (S)earch and fight The Red Dragon in the forest. Always question your master in Turgon's Training center. If he says you don't need _____ more exp. than you can challenge him and hopefully defeat him to advance a level.

------------------------------------------------------------
2.0 Expert Tips
------------------------------------------------------------
2.1 The "JENNIE" Code
------------------------------------------------------------

When you begin the game, check and see if you are in "high spirits" If you are, you can do the "JENNIE" trick. Here is how to do this. Go straight into the forest, and, before you touch anything, type "JENNIE" and it will ask you to describe her. Here is what you can type, and the results....
FOXY- one extra gem
BABE- one extra forest fight
SEXY- one extra user fight
LADY- some gold (level x 1,000 gold pieces)
DUNG- You are turned into a frog until you apologize.
UGLY- You are booted back to the home BBS, and when you return, you have 2 hit points left.
FAIR- No effect
STAR- No effect
HOTT- Adds 15% more hit points

------------------------------------------------------------
2.2 Bugs and Tricks
------------------------------------------------------------

-Don't change your name so often. It will sometimes lock up the BBS
-Try pushing "S" from the entry to LORD game prompt. It will tell you a story written by Seth Able (VERY WEIRD)
-When selecting a name at the bartender, try some of these and see what happens-
BARAK, SETH, SETH ABLE, TURGON, RED DRAGON, DRAGON, VIOLET, BARTENDER, CHANCE.
-If you are a theif and have a fairy, press "2" in the bank to rob it

--------------------------------------------------------------
3.0 IGM's
--------------------------------------------------------------

Always check the (O)ther Places from the main menu to see if you Sysop has installed any. They can be very helpful

--------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 Travel to Barak's House
--------------------------------------------------------------

A common IGM If you are level 3 or higher, try this- Walk in like you own the place, kick him in the shin. You will get Ultra Ale, which gives you 25% extra hit points.
If you read Barak books, he gives you a gem
Try cleaning out the basement.
Try to agree with Barak's mother. You can earn exp.

--------------------------------------------------------------
4. General Tips to win at L.O.R.D.;
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Always trade gems to the bartender for vitality, which in English means defense.

2. Always have your armor 1 level above your weapons. Remember the best offense is a great defense.

3. Before you go up to the next level at Turgon's Warrior training see if there is any one you can kill who is one level lower then you because after you rise a level you will not be able to fight him.

4. You can only use your skills on a player that is higher then you and in the forest.
