Controls
Basic Options: Hit (ESC) to bring up the options menu where you can
adjust video and game settings, as well as re-map your key-binding. You can see
all of the keys in the game in the key-binding section.
Movement: Use the W, A, S, D keys to move around the world. Or, hold
down both mouse buttons to walk forward (moving the mouse at this point turns
your character). The arrow keys will also move your character.
Camera: Hold down the left mouse button to look around the world. Hold
down the right mouse button to turn your character using the mouse. You can zoom
the camera in and out using the mouse wheel or using the Home and End keys.
Interacting: Left-click selects objects and NPCs in the game while
Right-click activates an object or talks to an NPC. The mouse cursor is
context-sensitive. If you move your mouse over an object that you can interact
with, an icon will appear on your mouse cursor indicating the type of action
that will occur if you Right-click (sword = attack, cog = manipulate, speech
balloon = talk, etc.)
Attacking: To attack a creature, move within range (move to where you
can see the attack cursor when you mouse over the creature - a grayed out cursor
means you are out of range) and right-click on the creature. You will enter
attack mode. Move your character next to the creature and you will automatically
begin to attack. Instead of right-clicking on a creature, you may also select
the "attack" icon from the Action Bar.
Action Bar: The action bar at the bottom of the screen contains your
spells, special abilities, or frequently used items like Food and Water (which
give back health and mana respectively). You can activate these by either
left-clicking on them, or by typing the number corresponding to the slot of the
spell or ability you wish to use. Mousing over the icons will also show you a
tooltip containing the name of the spell or ability. You can also consult your
spell or ability books (Spellbook & Ability button on the Action Bar) to get a
full description of each ability or spell your character may have. You can
re-arrange your Action Bar by clicking and dragging on the icons. You can also
add new spells/abilities to this bar as you receive them by dragging them from
your Spell or Ability book. You can also place items in the bar for easy
activation.
Grouping, Trading, and Other Character Interaction: To invite someone
to a group, select them by left-clicking on them, and then right-click on their
portrait in the upper edge of the screen to bring up a menu of possible
interactions with that character. One of these options is grouping. There are
several other available interactions with characters, including inspecting them,
challenging them to a duel, etc.
Sound: Control-S toggles sound effects. Control-M toggles music.
Character Information: Click on the button in the Action Bar that
contains the portrait of your character. This will bring up your Character Info
panel which includes the Talent, Reputation and Skill panels.
Leveling: As you level in the game, you will gain talent points which
you can immediately apply to your character by opening up the Character
Information page and selecting the Talents tab. The Talents tab contains all
your currently available talents and their costs in talent points.
Gaining New Spells & Abilities: New abilities and skills are not
gained automatically. You must visit a trainer specific to your class to
purchase them. There are other ways to gain spells and abilities, such as tomes
found on monsters.
Casting spells on yourself
If you want to target a spell on your self, hold down the alt key and hit
the hot key or button for the spell you want to use. Just hit alt-3 (if that is
the spell) to quickly cast a spell on yourself.
