<!-- 19:53 Neill: Hello, young initiate! Welcome to your festival! ... 19:53 Neill: That's right! I said, your festival! We, residents of the Island of Destiny, have decided to put up a Festival of Initiates just for you newcomers! ... 19:53 Neill: Isn't that great? 19:54 Small Bennie [8]: yes 19:54 Neill: Indeed! As you will have to choose your vocation soon, this festival will help you decide by showing you each vocation's unique style and techniques. ... 19:54 Neill: In each tent, a combat trainer will show you his vocation's special fighting technique. So you can find out which vocation suits you best! ... 19:54 Neill: Don't worry, it's all for fun, just to show you the principle, and won't hurt. OK? 19:54 Small Bennie [8]: ok 19:54 Neill: Good! Each of the combat and vocation trainers can give you details about his or her vocation, just ask them. ... 19:54 Neill: So, shall we start your festival tour? Of course, if you already know which vocation to choose, you can also skip the tour entirely. What do you say? 19:54 Small Bennie [8]: start 19:54 Neill: Alright, here we go! On Rookgard, you already had a first taste of how we proud knights fight: up close and personal. We're always first in a melee and the strongest heroes in Tibia. ... 19:54 Neill: That means, in a fight we go to a monster and hit it upfront with a weapon. That's no job for weaklings, so we knights have a strong defense and many hitpoints to be able to hold out against damage. Are you ready? 19:54 Small Bennie [8]: ready 19:54 Neill: Good! You already fought on Rookgard, so you probably have a weapon. Or do you need a sword? 19:54 Small Bennie [8]: sword 19:54 Neill: Here's a training sword. Some last hints - knights fight with shield and weapon. Remember: we fight at the front, so we need good armor. We're tough, but we don't fight from a distance or heal others. Always have a health potion ready! ... 19:54 Neill: If you need a shield, take one from the box, left of the entrance. It will hold off two enemies at once. ... 19:54 Neill: Have fun and make your way through this tent, past the skeletons. The next tent's just north of this one. I hear they fight from a little distance in there. Huh. Well.

20:04 Willem: Hi there! You don't have an apple, by any chance? 20:05 Small Bennie [8]: apple 20:05 Willem: I love apples! An apple a day keeps the doctor away. ... 20:05 Willem: Of course, a bow and some arrows will keep him at a safe distance as well. Ahem. ... 20:05 Willem: Do you have an apple with you? 20:05 Small Bennie [8]: no 20:05 Willem: Oh, too bad. But I have a spare somewhere. I do tricks with them. ... 20:05 Willem: I can shoot that apple from your head with my bow! - No wait, don't run away, it's absolutely safe! I'm a dead shot at this!! 20:05 Small Bennie [8]: bow 20:05 Willem: My favourite weapon. Unsurpassed in grace and beauty! ... 20:05 Willem: Spears and throwing stars are quite practical for hunting too, though. If you want to learn how to fight like a paladin, visit Shanoya. Second tent to the right, you can't miss it. 20:05 Small Bennie [8]: shanoya 20:05 Willem: She is top of our class and our combat trainer. Formidable with the spear! You should see her. A true huntress. 20:05 Small Bennie [8]: paladin 20:05 Willem: The noblest of vocations. Roam the forests as a ranger! Hunt with the hunters! Slay unholy beasts! 20:05 Small Bennie [8]: unholy 20:05 Willem: Undead creatures like mummies, ghouls or vampires. We paladins slay them with our unique gift of holy magic. But our primary weapon to hunt monsters is the bow or spear. 20:05 Small Bennie [8]: bye 20:05 Willem: Godspeed, and may we meet again as fellow rangers! 20:06 Ula: Hi there! You should really check out Tylius' staff and rod training! 20:06 Small Bennie [8]: tylius 20:06 Ula: He's sooo cute. ... 20:06 Ula: I mean, he's an apprentice sorcerer, like me. He's in this tent right here. He's really good in staff and rod combat, you should totally check it out! 20:06 Small Bennie [8]: name 20:06 Ula: Me? I am Ula, magic assistant to the grand sorcerer Estrella and humble spectator at our festival. 20:06 Small Bennie [8]: ula 20:06 Ula: Yes? 20:06 Small Bennie [8]: estrella 20:06 Ula: She's awesome. She is our sorcerer vocation trainer on the Island of Destiny. ... 20:06 Ula: You should talk to her after the festival if you want to become a sorc, too. 20:06 Small Bennie [8]: bye 20:06 Ula: See you at the academy! 20:06 Tylius: Hello there! Interested in magic? Wish to become an acolyte of the arcane, a neophyte of nature? Then the staff is your weapon of choice! Care to try it out? Of course you do. Say yes. 20:07 Small Bennie [8]: yes 20:07 Tylius: Good. We magic wielders prefer to fight from a distance, as our defense and armor is a lot weaker than that of the knights. But we deal out more damage with a hit than they do. ... 20:07 Tylius: Stay at a little distance from a monster. Too far away: the staff won't hit the monster; come too close and the monster will hit YOU. ... 20:07 Tylius: First, drag your staff to the weapon slot in your inventory to use it. Then, to attack, RIGHT-CLICK on a monster on the screen or battle list and choose 'ATTACK'. ... 20:07 Tylius: Remember that a staff also needs mana to work, so make sure you always have some food, or you won't regenerate mana. There's food in the chest outside, and some blueberry bushes. Oh yes, one other thing: mana will only be regenerated inside tents. ... 20:07 Tylius: Ready for the staff? 20:07 Small Bennie [8]: yes 20:07 Tylius: Alright, let's get started! Here's your staff! Just drag it from your inventory to your weapon slot to use it. ... 20:07 Tylius: Have a blast and just visit Shanoya next door to try out mundane distance weapons, too, afterwards. 20:11 Willow: Hi there, friend. Follow the path of nature! 20:11 Small Bennie [8]: nature 20:11 Willow: Mother Nature is our element, the element of the druids. ... 20:11 Willow: If you want to learn how to use the magical forces of nature, and not just use a crude weapon, talk to Salbra. She will teach you the use of runes and spells. 20:11 Small Bennie [8]: salbra 20:11 Willow: She is wise in the craft. A master of spells and runes, and a gentle teacher to all young initiates. ... 20:11 Willow: Go see her in her tent northeast from here to learn about the different ways of magic. 20:11 Small Bennie [8]: name 20:11 Willow: I am Willow, a fellowcraft druid of the sage Yandur. 20:11 Small Bennie [8]: willow 20:11 Willow: I am called that because it is my favourite tree. A gentle creature is the willow tree, and the wind sings in its boughs. 20:13 Shanoya: Hi there, stranger. Come on in and grab a spear! Tylius explains how to fire shots with fancy magic staffs, but they are not truly a distance weapon, oh no. In here, it's the real McCoy! Shall I go on? Yes? 20:13 Small Bennie [8]: yes 20:13 Shanoya: You see, we paladins are the true distance fighter vocation. Nobody covers a long distance like we do! Spears, bow and arrow, throwing stars... you name it, we master it. ... 20:13 Shanoya: See that chest there? Take some spears from it and aim at the party skeletons. If a spear breaks, you can get a new one from the chest every 60 seconds. ... 20:13 Shanoya: Drag your spear to your weapon slot, right-click on a monster on the map or battle list, and choose 'attack'. If you mastered the principle, just go to the next tent while I - clean up the mess. 20:16 Willow: Hi there, friend. Follow the path of nature! 20:18 Small Bennie [8]: willow 20:18 Willow: I am called that because it is my favourite tree. A gentle creature is the willow tree, and the wind sings in its boughs. 20:19 Small Bennie [8]: druid 20:19 Willow: We are healers, and versed in the use of ice and earth magic. We seek the balance of things. ... 20:19 Willow: Salbra will teach you how to use spells and runes, should you wish to learn the ways of magic. 20:19 Salbra: Welcome. Why don't you take a seat? You can't? Always in a hurry, hmm? But I have some things to teach you before you really get going - about runes and spells for sorcerers and druids. ... 20:19 Salbra: Are you ready? 20:19 Small Bennie [8]: ready 20:19 Salbra: Lovely! There are two types of casting magic: spells and runes. Runes are magic spells stored in special stones. To cast a spell, you need to have learned the spell first. To use a rune, you only need to use the rune. ... 20:19 Salbra: But only DRUIDS and SORCERERS have a high enough MAGIC LEVEL to use spells or runes properly ... 20:19 Salbra: Now, spells, they have to be learned before you can use them. Later on, you will have to find your specific spell teachers, but for now, I know some fine spells to teach you the principle. Ready? 20:19 Small Bennie [8]: yes 20:19 Salbra: Aww, come on. You need to hear this. Your new spell can be cast anytime by saying 'exevo dis flam hur'. But I can show you a much more convenient way. First, do this, OK? 20:20 Small Bennie [8]: yes 20:20 Salbra: Good. Next, please do this. OK? 20:20 Small Bennie [8]: yes 20:20 Salbra: Good, and then, please do this. OK? 20:20 Small Bennie [8]: ok 20:20 Salbra: Great! Now you should have a small fire wave spell ready to use. Go and test it on the monsters over there, then come back! 20:22 Salbra: Hi there! Do you want to hear again what I just said or do you prefer to proceed to the next chapter: distance fight runes? 20:22 Small Bennie [8]: proceed 20:22 Salbra: Very well, now we'll talk about attack runes, this will be fun! Are you ready? 20:22 Small Bennie [8]: again 20:22 Salbra: Sorry, you need to free up some space in your backpack! 20:23 Small Bennie [8]: hi 20:23 Salbra: Hi there! Do you want to hear again what I just said or do you prefer to proceed to the next chapter: distance fight runes? 20:23 Small Bennie [8]: proceed 20:23 Salbra: Very well, now we'll talk about attack runes, this will be fun! Are you ready? 20:23 Small Bennie [8]: yes 20:23 Salbra: Using attack runes is simple: just right-click on the rune. If it's a rune that needs a target like a missile or healing rune, you need to click on the target on the map or battle list afterwards. Other runes need no target ... 20:23 Salbra: Just walk to the counter and see if you can hit the monsters from there. 20:24 Salbra: Hi there! Do you want to proceed to healing, or do you want to hear what I said again, and get a new rune? 20:25 Small Bennie [8]: proceed 20:25 Salbra: Of course! I will now tell you something about healing yourself. Are you ready? 20:25 Small Bennie [8]: yes 20:25 Salbra: That's easy, you have just learned 'exura dis', an easy healing spell. Please do this first, OK? 20:25 Small Bennie [8]: ok 20:25 Salbra: Great, now please do this, OK? 20:25 Small Bennie [8]: ok 20:26 Salbra: Great, now please do this, OK? 20:26 Small Bennie [8]: ok 20:26 Salbra: BAM! Now heal yourself! ... 20:26 Salbra: If it doesn't work, please make sure you have the right settings and enough mana. There's a mana potion in the chest, just in case you need it. ... 20:26 Salbra: It worked, yes? 20:26 Small Bennie [8]: yes 20:26 Salbra: Great! You can of course use some healing spells on OTHERS, too. But keep in mind, ONLY A DRUID can HEAL OTHERS with a SPELL. Why would you want this? Well, other players will want to have you in their party if you are a druid! ... 20:26 Salbra: Now that was about all I had to tell you. Please proceed east and then north through the Gate of Initiates! ... 20:26 Salbra: Good luck, and find a vocation that suits your style at the 4 vocation trainers: Sorcerer Estrella, Knight Hykrion, Druid Yandur and Paladin Narai! 20:27 Small Bennie [8]: ok 20:28 The Destiny Seer: Hello, child. Ask, and I will answer with a question. 20:29 Small Bennie [8]: question 20:29 The Destiny Seer: Tell me: Do you like to keep your distance, or do you like close combat? 20:29 Small Bennie [8]: close 20:29 The Destiny Seer: Your destiny is this: go seek the knight Hykrion on this island to join the knights and become a noble defender of Tibia, a feared fighter with sword and shield. -->
