Introduction and Index, part 1. More to come later.

Space reserved

Please do not reply to this post. I have created another one specifically to gather the replies, add knowledge, ideas, and highlight important modifications that should be updated in this guide when it will be mentioned and suggested by  our community.

This guide will be copyrighted for MWO only, and cannot be reproduced for any purpose elsewhere without explicit written consent. We will put as much knowledge, informations and details as it becomes possible over time. This guide will be written in proper english to start, and later on will be translated in french. I might work on other languages but since I know only those two this will be difficult to overcome alone.

Starting from level 1 to a much later 80, this will be a document to guide the player thoroughly in every subjects of MWO. Tips and tricks, hints for beginners, average and expert players. Strategies and statistics about the game, the zones, the monsters, encounters, the items and the game system.

Best regards to our community,

Dakaran

Installation

1.1 Installing the game software.
For Vista Users: If you install the game to the same disk as your Vista system installed (like in C:, the game installation program will seems to be stuck, as Vista will try to preload the whole file before it really starts. We are recommanding that you install the game into another drive, like D: or E: .

Please follow the simple steps below to download and install the Magic World Online client program using the one-click MWO downloader.

1.Download the file "mwodownloader.exe" then save it on your hard drive. This file is about 1.02 MB so the download should be really fast.

http://mwo.enjoymmo.com/down/mwodownloader.exe

2.The download will start out slowly, but will reach very high speed after a few minutes. If for any reason the download is interrupted, just simply re-run the downloader program and it should resume the download process from the place it left off in the previous download.

3. Double-click on the file downloaded in step 3 to start installing the game.


Please keep in mind that the MWO client is a very large file (over 2.2G) and it will take at least a few hours for the download to complete. We appreciate your patience during the download, and strongly suggest that you leave the download running over night. We understand that the download process is a bit tedious, but we think that you are downloading one of the most exciting new-concept MMORPGs and your time spent on the download process will be worthwhile.

3.4 Target window

You can find your target's portrait, level,  health on the red bar, and mana on the blue bar. Hover your mouse pointer on any of those bars to see the exact numerical value. (Digits)

It can also gives you a good hint at the difficulty of the monster. If a monster has considerably more health than you do, and a higher level, then it might be a good idea to bring some backup like a healer or a strong damage dealer!

3.5 Inventory window

The inventory in a roleplaying game is where the players can store the items found by their hero character.

Note: You can sort your inventory using the button at the bottom of the inventory window.

You can also setup a trader using the booth button at the bottom of the inventory window next to the sort button.

It is relatively easy to setup, and allows you to automatically sell items without having to be there or doing the deal via the old fashioned trade window. It's great to leave a trader overnight and unload your encumbering items that you would love to get ride off your backpack!

3.8 Party window


There are times when without any help it may seems like you can't overcome the odds. This is when forming a group is a good idea, and meeting new people at the same time, you can make real good friends, and this is what a MMORPG is all about! You will get the chance to find others to group and adventure in places you couldn't go alone hoping to come out alive.

When that time comes, using the party window and the interface, they will be a part of an important function in the game. It will help you and your teammates to survive the odds, and communicate quickly.

MWO party window is simple but effective. It gives the health of party members in percentage (%), and shows the member status alive or dead.




A right-click on one of the party members, also allows to manage the group, makes it possible to give the leadership of the party to someone or to kick them out of the group! So please be mindful and respectful with your fellow players and teammates because it might bites you in the end!
