Movement
Using the mouse, left click and hold when the mouse pointer-arrow is green to move in that direction.
You can also move around using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
Melee Combat Controls
Left click on an enemy when the mouse pointer-arrow turns red to attack that enemy with your equipped melee weapon.
With the keyboard, an attack is performed by holding CTRL, then pressing the arrow key for the direction you wish to attack in.
Ranged Combat Controls
Attacking with a bow, crossbow or sling consitutes ranged combat. Ranged combat uses auto-targeting.
To attack:
- CTRL+left click
- press CTRL+UP
To change targets, use either:
- TAB & SHIFT+TAB (spellcasters must use this)
- CTRL+LEFT & CTRL+RIGHT (only with ranged weapon equipped)
Spellcasting Controls
Spells (and special abilities) can be bound to the function keys: press Shift+C, then use the arrow keys to highlight the spell you want to bind, then hit the F-key you want to bind to, followed by ESC. You can also bind spells by pressing shift-F-key.
Spellcasting and combat
- binding a spell to F7 will let you cast it with just the right mouse button
- binding a spell to F8 will let you cast it with CTRL+right mouse button
- binding a spell to F1 will let you cast it with SHIFT+right mouse button, and with SHIFT+arrow key
- binding a spell to F2 will let you cast it with ALT+right mouse button, and with ALT+arrow key
- binding a spell to F3 will let you cast it with CTRL+SHIFT
- binding a spell to F4 will let you cast it with SHIFT+ALT
- binding a spell to F5 will let you cast it with CTRL+ALT
- binding a spell to F6 will let you cast it with CTRL+SHIFT+ALT
A good mage technique might be to bind Greater Harm to F8 and Lightning to F7, then cast Lightning at range with right mouse button, and Greater Harm with CTRL+right mouse button when the enemies get close.
Keyboard Quick Reference
There is a Keyboard Quick Reference available that you can download and print out. It covers all of the commands mentioned below and is suitable for use on all three servers. GRAPHIC IS OUT OF DATE, as of EUO 1.2, although most commands are still the same.

Remapping Keys - NEW!
Since not all keyboards are the same (eg ` and ~ are dead keys on some layouts) certain functions can be remapped to non-default keys.
To change your keyboard mappings, press shift+r (R). Press ESC at any stage to not change an existing mapping. You can use the shift and/or alt and/or ctrl keys in your mappings.
To reset your custom mappings to the default values, delete keymap.dat in your EUO folder.
Laptop diagonal movement
Additionally, diagonal movement can be achieved without a numpad with the following keys ...
NW NE [ ] SW SE ; '
Slash Commands
There is an extended list of Slash Commands here.
Buying, selling and transferring items
While banking, buying, selling or transferring to your player merchant ...
- press space or enter to transfer/buy/sell 1 unit
- press shift-space or shift-enter to transfer/buy/sell 10 units
- press TAB to transfer/sell all units
The exceptions to these are gold & ammo; ammo (and bullets) has a base unit of 100, so pressing shift-space when buying/transferring ammo will move 1000 units. Gold has a base unit of 1000. When moving gold, shift-space will move 10000.
Filtering item lists
When viewing, dropping, banking, or anything that uses the scrolling item list, press one of the following keys to filter to subsets of items:
w: weapons W: wearables s: shields p: potions u: usables j: jewellry f: food A or v: show everything U: unidentified h: hats/head slot t: torso slot b: boots slot l: legs slot g: gloves r: rings n: neck S: scrolls and tomes
You can also search for items. Press / and type part of the name of an item to search for it in the list (press esc to exit)
eg:
- to show all your vamp items type /vamp
- to show all your dex items type /dex
The match works on the item's full name - not the list name. Eg some long names in the list are shortened (eg BR is blackrock) - type blackrock, not BR.
