+
  
−

+

−
===Spellcasting and combat===
+
===To LOCK the crosshair on a target:===
−
* binding a spell to F7 will let you cast it with just the right mouse button
+
* ALT+y
−
* 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
+
===To change targeting types:===
−
* binding a spell to F2 will let you cast it with ALT+right mouse button, and with ALT+arrow key
+
* SHIFT+y cycles from Evil Targets(yellow), All-Targets(white), Good Targets(blue), Party Targets(green)
−
* binding a spell to F3 will let you cast it with CTRL+SHIFT
+
* monsters that are attacking you have a red box, to help tanks. This can be toggled via the options menu (F12).

+
 
−

+
(don't forget you can choose to use a thicker crosshair via the F12 menu)
 +
* targeted party member name is in green in stats box
 +
* changed good aligned crosshair to blue
 +
* target locking - ALT+y to lock your crosshair on one target (lock it on the tank!)
 +
* shouldn't lose target when some party member stands on top of your target
 +
* a locked target (or any party target) can be a little further away than 4 squares before they become untargeted
 +
(you can't hit the next target button and pick up anyone including party member that is beyond 4 squares though - but once they are targeted they can move between 4-7 squares and stay targeted, and if locked, can go out of range and back into 7 square range and be instantly targeted again.)
 +
 
 +
==Binding Spells and Items to hot keys==
 +
For fast and easy use of items and spells you may bind them to almost any key on the keyboard.
 +
 
 +
* To bind items, during '''u'''se, '''v'''iew, '''w'''ear, etc, press ALT+key to bind the currently selected item to that key. Then during play, pressing a key with a bind will use the bound item or spell.
 +
* Spells (and special abilities) can be bound to the number and 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 or shift-number key. Spells can be bound to keys also with alt+key within the select spell menu.
 +
 
 +
===Spellcasting and Combat===
 +
* binding a spell to F1 will let you cast it with SHIFT+left mouse button, or with SHIFT+arrow key
 +
* binding a spell to F2 will let you cast it with ALT+left mouse button, or with ALT+arrow key
 +
* binding a spell to F3 will let you cast it with CTRL+SHIFT+left mouse button, or with CTRL+SHIFT+arrow key
 +

 +
* binding a spell to F7 will let you cast it with the right mouse button (if you have right click get/look/etc disabled)
 +
* binding a spell to F8 will let you cast it with CTRL+right mouse button
  
 
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.

Main Menu

Press F12 any time to bring up the main menu. Here you can change game options, change keybinds and read online help.

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 or numpad 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 & Spell-Casting Targeting Controls

Attacking with a bow, crossbow or sling consitutes ranged combat. Ranged combat uses auto-targeting.

To attack:

  • CTRL+left click
  • press CTRL+any direction

OR

  • have favourite bow or ranged weapon hot keyed (while melee weapon equipped), and press the F key, to fire your unequipped bow. Pressing the F key when a non-ranged weapon equipped will auto-switch and fire your lowest-key bound ranged weapon, then switch it back.

To see crosshair:

  • y or TAB

To change targets:

  • TAB & SHIFT+TAB
  • middle click on new target

To LOCK the crosshair on a target:

  • ALT+y

To change targeting types:

  • SHIFT+y cycles from Evil Targets(yellow), All-Targets(white), Good Targets(blue), Party Targets(green)
  • monsters that are attacking you have a red box, to help tanks. This can be toggled via the options menu (F12).

Improved targeting for healers:

(don't forget you can choose to use a thicker crosshair via the F12 menu)

  • targeted party member name is in green in stats box
  • changed good aligned crosshair to blue
  • target locking - ALT+y to lock your crosshair on one target (lock it on the tank!)
  • shouldn't lose target when some party member stands on top of your target
  • a locked target (or any party target) can be a little further away than 4 squares before they become untargeted

(you can't hit the next target button and pick up anyone including party member that is beyond 4 squares though - but once they are targeted they can move between 4-7 squares and stay targeted, and if locked, can go out of range and back into 7 square range and be instantly targeted again.)

Binding Spells and Items to hot keys

For fast and easy use of items and spells you may bind them to almost any key on the keyboard.

  • To bind items, during use, view, wear, etc, press ALT+key to bind the currently selected item to that key. Then during play, pressing a key with a bind will use the bound item or spell.
  • Spells (and special abilities) can be bound to the number and 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 or shift-number key. Spells can be bound to keys also with alt+key within the select spell menu.

Spellcasting and Combat

  • binding a spell to F1 will let you cast it with SHIFT+left mouse button, or with SHIFT+arrow key
  • binding a spell to F2 will let you cast it with ALT+left mouse button, or with ALT+arrow key
  • binding a spell to F3 will let you cast it with CTRL+SHIFT+left mouse button, or with CTRL+SHIFT+arrow key
  • binding a spell to F4 will let you cast it with SHIFT+ALT+left mouse button, or with SHIFT+ALT+arrow key
  • binding a spell to F5 will let you cast it with CTRL+ALT+left mouse button, or with CTRL+ALT+arrow key
  • binding a spell to F6 will let you cast it with CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+left mouse button, or with CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+arrow key
  • binding a spell to F7 will let you cast it with the right mouse button (if you have right click get/look/etc disabled)
  • binding a spell to F8 will let you cast it with CTRL+right mouse button

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.

Fast directional use of items

  • binding a item to F1 will let you use it with SHIFT+left mouse button, or with SHIFT+arrow key
  • binding a item to F2 will let you use it with ALT+left mouse button, or with ALT+arrow key
  • binding a item to F3 will let you use it with CTRL+SHIFT+left mouse button, or with CTRL+SHIFT+arrow key
  • binding a item to F4 will let you use it with SHIFT+ALT+left mouse button, or with SHIFT+ALT+arrow key
  • binding a item to F5 will let you use it with CTRL+ALT+right mouse button, or with CTRL+ALT+arrow key
  • binding a item to F6 will let you use it with CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+left mouse button, or with CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+arrow key
  • binding a item to F7 will let you use it with the right mouse button (if you have right click get/use/etc disabled)
  • binding a item to F8 will let you use it with CTRL+right mouse button

Eg, you may like to bind a mining pick to F7, then right click on mountains to prospect for ore.

More Mouse

  • move around with left click
  • left click on signs to read them
  • midddle click on creature to target it

the following only work when Right Click to get/look/etc is enabled via the F12 options menu:

  • right click on items to pick them up, or shift right click to pick up a whole pile
  • right click on NPCs to talk
  • right click on terrain and everything else to look
  • alt-right click on items to try and activate them (best example is Fountain)

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 
B: belts
c: cards

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.
