MOVODA 101 : A Newbie Guide


NEWB, NEWB, NEWB! WE WANT YOU!



So you just logged in to the wide world of Movoda for the very first time. What do you do?! I don't know? Do you? Well lets figure it out together and get some work done. This is an extremely basic guide. I am going to go through everything very slowly and extremely detailed.



<Steps on the soap box>!
Before I actually continue with this guide let me step on my soap box and say a few things. The most valuable thing you have in Movoda is your REPUTATION, REPUTATION, REPUTATION. Why is reputation important? And what do I mean by reputation? Reputation is how the players, mods and Mskwik view you and how you play. Now there are many playing styles of course, and many different views. But if you are chatting and being an all around meanie, annoyance, etc., it will stick with you. Don't go out of your way to get into trouble with the Mods. If you are starting to get warned. Stop and take a step back. Look at it before you say anything else. Your reputation will also affect if any guilds will accept into their family. Be helpful without just giving everything away (unless you want too). Be helpful in your guild. Also if you commit to doing something. Do it. Makes you look good. A player's reputation makes him/her a good or bad player, not any one skill. Again REPUTATION, REPUTATION, REPUTATION. Make it a good one.
<Steps off the soap box>



Now lets get into the game.

BASICS


This is a brief overview of how to do basic game mechanics. We will review really quickly Moving, Trading, Equipping, Using a skill, Fast way to make Vessi (money, money, money).

Moving


Moving is quite easy. Just point and click. For example, you are currently in Echtin and if you would like to move to Droesar just click on the city dot. Check screenshot.

Moving



Trading


Trading allows you to transfer items and Vessi from one person to another person. Once in town (any town) click on the persons name you wish to trade with under the heading people in town (if you don't see the person hit F5 to refresh). Once both of you have clicked on each other's name then you will see this screen:

Trading



Now you can add anything from your inventory by clicking on any item within your inventory and adding how much of that item you wish to trade. You can also click on change underneath the trade box and add Vessi to the trade. Make sure you both have enough stones to carry everything. Now just click on Accept and the trade is finished. Hint (Use the refresh button if the trade seems to be taking longer then you expect).

Equipping


Equipping items you will have to do to walk faster, complete skills, and gearing up for combat. So click on Equipment on the left hand side of the interface. You will then see a page with all your equipment slots (see screenshot). To equip a certain item click on the item in you inventory and then the item is equipped and you should see the change in the correct equipment slot. Hint (Items in yellow in the inventory are items already equipped.

Equipping



1. (Red Box) This is your combat stats and the bonuses your equipped equipment provides you.

2. (Yellow Box) This is what you have equipped.

3. (Blue Box) This is the outfitter. This allows you to create outfits for different skills or settings. IE: Combat suit for creatures, combat suit for guild wars, suit for a certain skill like cooking. It allows you to save outfits so you don't have to click each item individual all the time. Nice feature! Have all the items equipped first then click Save, then type the name you want to call it (newb suit), then click Ok. Now when you click on the drop down arrow you will see your outfit.

4. (Purple Box) This is the Boat and House area. Forget where your house or boat might be? Click on it and it will tell you.

Using a Skill


To use a skill, go to the correct location for the skill, and for your current skill level (for more information Skills). Click on the skill on the left hand side under the city name in blue. Then you should begin to use that skill. For example: if you were in Rissdra, you would click on Chop Wood to start woodcutting.

Using a Skill


Making Vessi


There is always fast ways to make money. But the easiest way to make Vessi when you first begin is through a few steps. Being in a guild will make this faster but if you choose to hold off for a few days first, then follow these steps to get the most for your resources:

Suggested way 1:

1. Buy a Fishing Rod, Bronze Hatchet, and a Tinderbox at Echtin.
2. Go to Ponat Pier and fish 100 Mackerel.
3. Go to Rissdra and cut 200 wood.
4. Go to Lake Essdar and cook the Mackerel to get cooking level 2, sell some cooked or uncooked mackerel ...you need 5 more Vessi.
5. Go to Echtin and buy a Pocketknife, go to Port Schow and make Fishing Rods. Use up the rest of your wood.
6. Go to Lake Essdar and sell the Fishing Rods for 12 Vessi each.
7. Go to Rissdra cut more wood, go to Port Schow make Fishing Rods, go to Lake Essdar and sell the Fishing Rods.
8. Rinse and Repeat as much as you would like.

NOTE You need Cooking level 2 to sell the Fishing Rods at Lake Essdar.

Suggested way 2:

1. Gather 500+ of one resource (logs, copper ore, tin ore, mackerels, etc) and sell them to the highest bidder. Either on forums or just message general chat ONCE with what you are selling.

WHERE TO START


NOTE If you are having trouble in the interface, Interface. explains it really well and in depth.


Well some people think you should grab a skill and start right away. HOLD UP. You need to figure out a few things before we do anything. But while we do that lets do the very first thing. Just so you know what you generally have to do. Let's have you buy a bronze hatchet at the general store. Why? Well you will be cutting wood? Well what if I don't wanna cut wood for one of my major skills? Thats ok. Let me show you the priorities, and a brief explanation. Now the priority DOESN'T have to be this way, but it is an easy way to get started. Now the priority list doesn't have to be done in order but while you do one we do another. But keep the priority in mind.

1. Find a GUILD: Guild will help you in so many ways. Not only will they help you with questions you may have. “Normally” if you donate stuff to the guild you can get equipment and food a little easier with the guild. But it's give and take. DO NOT EXPECT the guild to just immediately give you everything for free, you have to earn it. Explained in more detail A Guild Overview..

2. Figure out what two SKILLS you wanna master: Why only two? Well if you do everything that would be awesome, but then you would be kind of mediocre in all the skills. Also the guild may need you for a certain skill if you are having trouble figuring out what you wanna do. Some two skills have better combinations but it really doesn't matter. (Skills explain more in Skills)

3. Get a home: A home allows you to store 1,000 stones. But that take 100 Vessi, 500 lumber which takes 500 logs (don't need all the logs before building; you can add logs after started to build your house), which is why I am having you chop wood, which is why you are buying a bronze hatchet.

Now you can do all these at the same time. Lets first get you moving to chopping wood, and while we do that you can figure out the rest. So we are currently at Echtin. Click on General Store. Shows you below.

General Store









NOTE I recommend you buy two hatchets. Items do have a chance of breaking when you use them.

So change the 1 to 2. Then click buy. Now you have 2 bronze hatchets in your inventory. Now you are down to 68 Vessi. That is ok. If you don't see them currently, you may need to refresh your screen. Hit F5.

Now that you have your hatchets, let's move to Rissdra. That is the first woodcutting area. This will be a little bit of a walk. Let me show you have to move. Look at your Minimap. Click on the road to the right. We want to move to Droesar --> Moskim --> Lake Essdar --> Rissdra (Beginner Map. to see where we are going). You move yourself with the minimap. Example below:

Moving




Once at Rissdra, click on Equipment on the left hand side. Then in your inventory, on the right, click on Bronze Hachet. Then click on Chop Wood on the left hand side. Chop 100 wood. Now while you are just sitting there waiting for the 100 wood. Explore the forums. Lets find out some information on guilds to help you make a decision on who to join. Go to Highscores, and click on Guild Ranked by Experience. Just look at the guilds. Now click on Guild Ranked by Members, once again just look and keep that in mind. Now of course I'm not saying join the high ranking guilds. It's just a piece of information you can use to make your decision. If you have an idea on who you would like to join based on chat, helpfulness of people and your decision making skills; let's see how to apply.

First way to get some information is on the guild ranking sites is click on the guild's name and it will take you to information regarding the guild and how to apply. Follow whatever instructions are provided. Second way is to look in the forums under Gameplay, click on Guilds. Will list what guild's are looking for what, but I recommend doing the first option. Not all guild's keep that up to date. After you have been sent an invite, click on Guild Stuff, and accept the invite. Refer to Interface. and section 5 on chat.

Accepting Guild Invite




Once you have chopped 100 wood we need to get you some money back. You have one of three options. You can sell 100 wood to a player for 200 vessi, go to create rods with crafting skills (Rods sell for 10 Vessi at Echtin ), or you can sell logs at Rissdra for 1 vessi per log (with level 2 Woodcutting). I recommend doing the second option. Gets you moving and gets you training another skill, and you get more for your resources.

So with that said, move back to Echtin. Purchase 2 Pocketknives. Then move to Port Schow. Once at Port Schow, click on Equipment, and click on Pocketknives in your inventory. Start creating fishing rods until all 100 logs are used. Now move to Echtin.

Once at Echtin, click on General Store. You don't see an option immediately to sell those rods. Click on Fishing Rod in your inventory. Now you should see an option to sell. Sell all but 5 if you plan on leveling the Fishing skill. Now you should have at least 100 vessi to clear for your house.

Now head back to Rissdra. Cut 500 wood or as much as you can. Then once your carrying capacity is full. Head to Galawi. Click on Use Sawmill. Turn your logs into lumber. Now that you have some lumber. Let's pick you site for your house (don't need all the logs before building; you can add logs after started to build your house).

Your house you generally want in an area where you would be working on your skills alot. But keep in mind once your skill is higher you will be going to the continent to increase your skills. Here is a list of places to build Construction.

Well this tutorial is over. It should get you started. Have fun. And remember REPUTATION, REPUTATION, REPUTATION.

INTERFACE


So when you first login you have an interface. Let's go through what the interface is and how to navigate through each part. Here is what your interface looks like:


Interface Image





1. (YELLOW BOX)

This area is called your MINIMAP. Minimap allows you to move your character from place to place (explained later) and holds vital information about your character. It includes your character name in BLUE (of course different name then Oshat, that is reserve for someone special ). This also includes how much VESSI (Movodian Currency) your currently are holding in your pouch. Below that you will see your CHARACTER EXPERIENCE TOTAL. Then your current CHARACTER LEVEL with how much experience is needed for next level. Under that you will see HITPOINTS (HP), MAGIC POINTS (MP). Finally you will see MESSAGES. This is your ingame mail service. You can send, receive messages to other players, and MODS (explained later). You will also see beside messages in ( ) a number. That is how many messages you have unread. Go ahead and click on messages now. You should see a window appear in the middle of your screen that looks like this:



Messages and Minimap





2. (RED BOX)

This is your city view. This shows you the city where you are currently occupying. The city name is in BLUE. You will also notice that you minimap shows a RED dot on the city you are currently in as well. Here you will get options. You will have your skill options. Each city has different skill options for what you are attempting to do (Skills). Now there is also options for player houses in some cities. Player houses are houses you can purchase from other players or build so you may store items. There is also shops and other unique buildings at some cities. For example in Echtin there is a General Hospital. If you die you will revive here. You may also purchase to heal HPs. Now some cities may also have guild buildings. That is determined by your guild that you have joined and where the guild decided to place their compound (A Guild Overview.).


3. (GREEN BOX)

This is your list of skills. NOTE because you are a newb you will have no skills listed. At this interface you can click on any skill and it will list your current experience as well as how much experience is left until your next level. Here is a description of each skill and some vital information (Skills).

Then once you accept an invitation to any guild; it includes a link to your guild website/forum, current Guild Experience, Guild Level and experience for next level. It also includes where your guild compound is located. A list of Guild Members also appears which includes who is signed on (in green) and who is offline (in red) and they last known location and rank within the guild. At times you may see some names at the very bottom of the list in normal text color. Those are people that have been invited to the guild but have yet accepted the invitation. This will be discussed in more detail here (A Guild Overview.).

Quest Log is where you can see what quests you are currently working on.

Manual (is a seperate button then Forum) is the game information. USE this page frequently. If you need to know information, use it. It was created for that reason. Avoid asking silly questions. If you click on Manual you will see the Home Page. It will list any new information listed in the game per mskwik (game developer). Click on NEWS and you will see the dates of what was changed and a brief description. Click on RULES and you will see the list of the game rules. *READ THE RULES CAREFULLY AND ABID BY THEM* Click on HIGHSCORES and you will see a list of the highscores of each skill, character level, and guild highscores. This will help you know if you are within the top 100 of each area and how you compare the leaders of each area. GETTING STARTED what you are reading now. If you click on SUPPORT MOVODA, this area allows you as a player to help out mskwik. Please do this every day or week. The more support he gets the better he can make the game. You place a vote at several sites to help promote Movoda. You also have a donation options. This is not required but does open up special options to donators. For example: chat emoticons, avatars, etc. (more to come probably). ITEMS allows you to view every item available in the game. Items may include information such as weight, level requirements, etc. Click on the desired item to find out more information. LOCATIONS allows you to view where cities are located. If you click on the city you will also view the city view just like if you occupied that location. MONSTERS gives you the monster statistics within in Movoda currently. Click on any monster and you may see a picture as well as each monster's statistics. SKILLS will list all the movodian skills. Now if you click on any giving skill it will list vital information. Where to begin at level one will be most important to you. As well as how much experience each item, for example, may provide you in experience. It will also include where to get at higher levels to get more or better resources, etc. SITE MAP is a very useful tool. It can provide you information you may be looking for that isn't at the click. You can find guilds, characters, chat commands, etc about the game. Get used to using it as well. Has alot at your finger tips. EDIT THIS PAGE is an option where any player may edit a page and provide information to help further other players. DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING OFF THE PAGES. You may add to the page. Only add pertinent information to that page. If you begin to delete things and add junk to the pages you will not only upset the players and make yourself look foolish, but will also create more work for mskwik and the moderators.

Forum (is a seperate button then Manual) is the game forum. Read the forum rules and use them please. Think first before you post any information as mentioned earlier your reputation is what makes you a good or bad player on the game, not any skill. Now let me explain different sections of the forum area. Art is for if you have a picture for a creature, location, item, etc. that you can post that may be useful to the game. Make sure there isn't any copyrights and you are legally able to use that picture before posting it for mskwik to use. Bugs is where you can report bugs. No not spider, flies, etc., but game problems. If something isnt' working like it's intended to, first search and make sure it hasn't already been posted. If it hasn't please post it. Sooner it's discovered the sooner mskwik may be able to fix it. Feature Requests is where you can see what others want to see in the game. If you have an idea post it. You may find something people would like that would make the game more enjoyable. History of Movoda is where you can read the storyline of Movoda. This is more insteresting then vital. General allows you to post general information that may be useful. Guilds allows you to see what guilds are looking for more members. Market is where, you guessed it, to sell and buy things. Off-Topic, if it's not related to Movoda post it here.

Logout. If this isn't self explanatory then please click it.


5. (DARK BLUE BOX)

This is your chat box. This includes four different types of chat. First is general chat which you will normally see in white. Guild chat which you will see in green. You can also see system announcements and they will appear in yellow. Each guild also has compound announcements and guild announcements that show up in orange.

There is a few options on the bottom right of this section. Rules will take you to Movoda's Rules. Disable Chat will disable the chat so you can't speak or see any chat. Click Enable Chat to get back. History will probably be the most important option here. Click on History and it will show you a full page of chat, use this if you missed something or you wanna catch up after being afk.

General chat is where everyone can speak. But don't just say whatever you want. This is, for the most part, where a reputation can be built or destroyed. If someone is consistently being annoying, inmature, meanie, etc., would you wanna play with them? If you expect me to post an answer, well I can't. Its for you to decide who you hang out with not me. Now here is the first place you will notice donator options. People can change their text to an array of colors based on the amount they donated. You will see when people log in and out. Now if the person logging in/out is your guildie, then it will be in green. You can also do alot of emoticons. Donators get more emoticons. Here is all the chat commands, ChatCommands. Now one thing you may notice in the chat commands is /me. That is for an emote. For example if you wanted to wave to people you type /me wave to people (posted a screenshot).


Emotes




If you wish to donate, please do so at Donations. If you enjoy the game please donate. Even donate over time. The donations are cumulative. The donations help mskwik with server fees, etc.

Okay, sometimes you will see system announcements.

System Annoucements will appear in yellow and red. System annoucements in yellow cover if some updates or creates a forum post, new areas becoming available to Movoda. System announcements in red are personal announcement when you receive mail. Here is a couple of screenshots so you know what you are looking for.

System Announcements



Personal Announcements





Guild Chat will appear in green text. Guild chat can be accessed once you accept a guild invite and as long as the guild has guild chat setup. If you have made to changes then you would type whatever you wanna say then hold SHIFT and hit ENTER. Keep in mind what you type if you forget to hold shift, you may get muted depending on what you say. I suggest you do the chat invert. What that does is make it so chat defaults to guild chat. You would have to hold SHIFT + ENTER to talk in general chat. Now guilds also have guild announcements. The first guild announcement is if the guild has a guild compound it shows who has taken or delivered items from/to the compound (included a screen shot, first one). The second guild announcement is an announcement sent by usually a guild leader or officer (second screenshot).



Guild Compound Announcements



Guild Announcements




6. (Purple Box)

This is your display. This displays the town your are currently residing, skills, and combat. Let's start with the town display.

Town Display





1. (Yellow Box) If you are lucky and happen to see items on the ground. Pick them up. Someone either dropped them or died at that location. Now if someone dies it's up to you to give it back or not. Typical thing if you would like to be extremely nice give it all back, and if you don't; don't worry about it.

2. (Green Box) This is the list of people in town. This is also where you would click the person's name to trade with them.

3. (Blue Box) This is the town you are currently residing. Underneath the City name, if you have the prerequisites, you may be able to see a quest listed. Now I can't give you all the secrets. Play the game. Read the forum for more on quests. This also has a brief description of the city and sometimes a pretty picture.

4. (Pink Box) This is where quests will show up. If you have the correct prerequisites the quest will show up. When you first arrive at a city. Click on the city name in blue on the left hand side to see if a quest appears.

This will also but the main screen for your skills, which will look like:


Skill Display


1. (Yellow Box) This is your skill timer. Once this reaches zero, then vola you have complete your skill for that rotation. Unless you are traveling or in combat that will just continue to renew back to the top of the timer for the next rotation. After you complete the timer you either get resource(s), crafted item(s) arrive at your destination or finish your combat. Now you also may receive Skill Experience, Character Experience, and Guild Experience. (Skills).

2. (Blue Box) This is your current action. If you don't get this, refer to Logout under the Interface Section.

3. (Green Box) This is your current action with more detail. It will tell you how long it may take to travel. Also it will show you what resource(s) or crafted item(s) you received the last rotation. It also has the current level of the skill, current total experience, and experience needed for next level. Now the combat skill page is slighty different and that's why I created screenshot of it seperately.

Combat Display




1. (Yellow Box) This is pretty much self explanatory. What you are currently fighting. Imagine that.

2. (Red Box) This is your damage, hits, HPs gained from eating and misses.

3. (Blue Box) If there is an invasion or a limited amount of those certain foes, this tells you how many are remaining. Imagine that.

4. (Purple Box) This is your combat timer. When this reaches zero, it will be either your turn or your foes turn.

5. (Green Box) This is how much HPs your foe has left.

6. (Pink Box) This has a couple of combat options. Run away will allow you to runaway from a creature. If you low on health and no food. Great idea to use it. Stop fighting will end the combat rotation at the end of the current fight.


7. (Orange Box)

This is your inventory.

Inventory Display




1. (Red Box) This is your Carrying Capacity. Now the values mean that # in stones. Stones is a representation of weight just like lbs. If you go over your maximum you can't move. All you can do is trade or drop some of your inventory.

2. (Yellow Box) This is the area where your cooked food will go. Anything here is what you can eat in combat.

3. (Green Box) This is where your crafted goods and equipment are located. If you have gear equipped it will be light yellow. Unequipped items are white.

4. (Blue Box) This is where your resources go.

5. (Purple Box) This is where the cards end up.

6. (Pink Box) This is where your spells are located.

NOTE Anything picked up is automatically placed in its rightful place, alphabetically.

A GUILD OVERVIEW


Finding a guild is a very high priority. So let's look at a few things so that you understand why its important. We will also look at some of the general operations of guilds.

So lets first discuss why a guild is important. Guild is a group of people working together to help each other. Now a guild has some needs from you as a guild member and you have some demands from the guild. First you need to decide what you want from your guild. Maybe your needs require food or gear to do combat; but you would have to think of what the guild would need. In that example they would want you to protect them and level your combat skill. Maybe you just wanna cut wood. Well you would require hatchets and tools to lower your woodcutting time. Whatever you need figure it out. Whatever you want figure it out. You also need to figure out what your are willing to do and not do for your guild. Are you willing to donate all the resources/items involved with your skill to the guild? Are you willing to donate any? What are you willing to give to your guild for what they do for you? Your guild is a partnership. It's give, give. If you are not willing to give back to the guild. Maybe a guild that doesn't supply you with anything is the guild you are looking to join.

Now before you join a guild, let me say a few things. Don't guild hop. What I mean is jumping from guild to guild. It doesn't look good. It will actually make your reputation with other guilds very low because you aren't dependable. Guilds want dependable people. Now with that said if you have a problem in a guild, work it out. Everyone has different views, different styles. Sometimes guilds change policies to adjust to the growing concerns of the guild. Learn to adjust with your guild, things change all the time and the guild may change with it. Be flexible.

Now that you have an idea of what you would like from your guild, let's help you find the one you wish to join. Now I'm am not recruiting or advising you what to look for but will tell where to find some general information. Some things you may want to check for is how they are organized, (Ranks, etc.) and what policies/rules that the guild may have and make sure you can follow those rules. Some places to find out some information about guilds. If you click on Highscores you will see two links for guilds. Guilds Ranked per Experience is where you can see the top 20 guilds with the most guild experience. Guilds Ranked per Members is where you can see the top 20 guilds for how many members they have within their guild. Now you don't necessary just wanna go off the rankings although its good information. Now you can also get some great information in the Forums regarding the guilds. Click on Forums and go to General > Guilds. Most guilds post what/who they are looking for and how to apply. Now if a guild is not there, go to PageIndex and find the guild you wish more information.

Now once you have been invited to the guild you need to accept your invitation. Click on Guild Stuff, and then click Accept for the guild you wish to join.

So you are in a guild, now what? Well first to speak in guild chat, type what you wanna say and hit SHIFT+ENTER. If you forget shift you will still type it in guild chat. Careful what you say. Now you may also may want to invert your chat so that when you just hit ENTER it defaults to guild chat instead of general chat. You do that by typing /chat invert.

Now lets see what options you have. If you click on Guild Stuff, you will see:

Guild Stuff




Ok not all guilds will have a seperate site for there members but if they post the site it may or may not appear here.

1. (Red Box) This contains your Guild Tag, Guild Experience, Guild Level and how much experience is needed for the next level.

2. (Blue Box) This contains the location of your guild's compound. Also has the option to leave the guild, (hopefully you didn't join to leave it).

3. (Green Box) This contains your guild members. Red is offline and green is online. Also includes last location or current location if online. Also has the rank of the guild member per guild leader's design. And also the number in parantheses is the member's character level.

HOW TO EDIT YOUR OWN PAGES

Manual


The manual (which you are reading now) is a wiki. A wiki is like a website which anyone can edit. You can add, remove, and edit pages. First, lets start with making your own page in the manual.

Your Page


Every player is allowed to have their own page about themselves in the wiki. This page is like your own personal webpage. You can put anything on your page as long as it follows the rules. To create your page, first click on highscores on the left menu (you can open it in a new window, so that you can keep this guide open). Then, scroll down until you find your name. It should be underlined with a ? next to it. Click on the question mark, and you will be taken to a screen where you can edit your page. If there is no ? next to your name on the highscores table, then your page has already been created, and you can just click on your page, and click the Edit this page link on the left.

If you are not on the high scores, just go to the following URL: http://movoda.net/man/(Your Name)

Adding Text



Now its time to add some text to your page! Type anything you want into the large white box, and click the Preview button. You can then see a preview of what your page will look like. You can still edit the page if you scroll down. When you are satisfied, press the Save button, and your page will be created (or updated, if it was already created)!

Formatting Text



Just plain text can be very boring, especially when you have written a lot. You can see that this page has used various formatting, such as underlined, italicized, bold, and headers. To start with, you can make a header for your page. To make a header, just use the following code:



Add that to the top of your page (and replace (Your Name) with your actual screenname, of course), and click preview. You will see a header at the top of your page You can also create smaller headers with additional = signs. Like this:



All the way up to six



Here is a list of some other common formatting tags. For a full list, check out the WackoWiki Documentation:

Bold:


Italics:


Underline:


Link to another page:

(Everything after the first space is the text that is shown)

Link to a page on another website:

(Everything after the first space is the text that is shown)

You can edit almost any page in the manual in this way. If you are ever curious as to how someone did something, you can just click the Edit this page link and look at the code.

Restoring Pages



Now, since the manual is open for editing, it is quite possible that someone will tamper with your page by erasing information, putting bad things, or just changing things that you don't want changed. Luckily, it is easy to restore pages to how they were previously. Just follow these steps to restore any page:

  1. Navigate your browser window to the page you wish to restore.
  2. Up where it tells you the current URL of your current page, add «/revisions» to the end of it (excluding the quotation marks)
  3. Click on the second date on the list.
  4. Make sure that everything on the page looks correct. If it does not, hit back on your browser, and try the next date on the list.
  5. Repeat step 4 until you find a page which is correct.
  6. Scroll all the way to the bottom, and click the button that says “Re-edit this old revision”.
  7. Scroll to the bottom again, and click the button that says “Save”.

The page should now be restored as it was before. This will work for any page in the manual. If you see a page that has been tampered with, please restore it. It is greatly appreciated by everyone!

FAQ


Here are some of the most Frequently asked questions that the admin, guild leaders and Veteran players receive regarding Movoda.

1. How do I move?
Read Basics.
2. How do I trade?
Read Basics.
3. What are these cards used for?
Currently a few quests but the intention if for a mini-game with Movoda. And
people collect them to get as many as they can for the future mini-game.
4. How come I can't use the wharf?
Get character level 10.
5. How do I start using the magic skill?
Get to character level 10 (for the wharf). Get an Emerald. Go to
HaldosOutpost. Click on the city name in blue and begin the quest.
6. How do I use my house?
Go to the city where the house is located. Click on Player Houses. Click on 
New House. Click on an item in your inventory. Choose how much you wish to 
add to your home or click move all. Your items are in your home. Do the reverse

7. How do i use the guild compound?
Go to the guild compound. Use it like a house.
8. How come I can't build my house in any town/city?
Simple answer is because you can't, move to city you can and build it. But a 
great answer is houses can only be built in locations classified as a
Town / City?. For example, Droesar is a large excavation site. And on Beromi island
it was an invasion and we had to build the cities and only certain locations were
we able to create aquaducts. Good answer provided by Hawkeyep. Thanks.
9. How do I make all of those smilies?
http://movoda.net/man/ChatCommands This will show a list of the smilies and 
how to make them. It will also show you how to use the chat commands and 
how to change your text color.

DISCLAIMERS


Newb is not offensive and you should not take it as so. It means you are a newbie to the game. NOOB is offensive.

If you don't like the information or don't care for it. I DON'T CARE. Let me repeat I DON'T CARE. Now if you have some suggestions or constructive criticism of my guide feel free to message me.

I am a proud member of ChampionsofMovoda. In no shape or form does this guide attempt to convert/recruit you as a member of ChampionsofMovoda.

This is not the only way to play but a suggestion on how to begin if you have never played a game like Movoda.
