Now, because of the sudden release of Chapter Two, the Inferno has been seeing a great deal of new players signing up for the adventure. And I know how confusing the Inferno can be at first glance, so I've decided I might as well make a simple tutorial on how to play, and the basics, just to make the adventure much more enjoyable for you. If you have any questions concerning this, please feel free to post, and I'll do my best to help you.

The Basics

First, the basic stuff, which you should know about. These threads have either been made by the mods, or by other helpful players, so make sure you read through them first before you start playing, otherwise you may find yourself in some kind of predicament that could have easily been avoided.

Most Important: The RPG Bulletin Board

The Bulletin board is probably the most important of these threads. It contains the basic story behind the RPG Inferno, rules, basic information, how to get started, and information on the mods. It is imperative you check back on this thread every once and a while, as it will be constantly updated with new information.

RPG Inferno FAQ

This is where you would go if you are having trouble with the Inferno. Just post what your question or problem is here, and it will be answered either by the mods, or by other Inferno players. Though you should make sure you are specific on what your problem is, and make sure to explain it as thoroughly or else your question will not be answered.

The Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How of the RPG Inferno (w^5h)

Though most definably not as important as the last two links, some of you may wish to discover more about the world in which the Inferno takes place. Although it is unofficial, it was created by inferno players, and is constantly updated with new information, and could be considered a very reliable source of information on the Inferno.

The User Interface

This is probably where you will have the most trouble, as a new player. The UI can be very confusing if you've never played an RPG Inferno. It may take a bit of getting used to, but once you have the hang of it, it'll become second nature to you. First, I'll explain to you what each button, do dad, thing-a-ma-jig does.

The Field

The Information Bar

The Information Bar contains some of the most important info that could possibly be displayed on the UI. The bar itself displays your settings, the World Map, your character profile, and help files. You can use these to move from location to location, change your info, and to read short help files written by the RPG Team. This bar is also displayed in every screen in the game.

Settings
Use this to access your Inferno settings and Inferno mail inbox. Here, you are given a brief status report on your character, as well as the option to view and edit your Inferno settings, an inbox that is used for Inferno messages sent to you, and an option menu, where you can turn on or off, certain extra features of the game.

Map
This brings up the world map, which you can use to quick warp to the starting point of any towns, cities, villages, or any other locations that you have been to.. You can use this as a quick means of transportation. As well as showing the locations you have been too, it also shows clan turf, on the right side in the legend. It shows which location belongs to which turf.

Settings
This will bring up all the information you could possibly need, on your character. It will bring up everything, including stats, current equipment, components, potions, spells, and so on and so forth. Use this as a quick review when you are setting up your stats.

Help Files
Very self explanatory. This will bring up information about the RPG Inferno itself. Check this first, before posting in the forums if you have any questions.

The Status Bar

The Status Bar gives you access to basic information, such as current location, HP, MP, EXP, and total Munny on hand. It also provides you with the tools needed in order to change stats, equip items, edit your pet, handle PvP battles and invites, and to trade with other players.

Current Location ,HP, MP, EXP and Munny
This is fairly self explanatory. It will display your current location, HP, MP, and Munny.

Tool Bar
This bar provides you with everything you need to interact with yourself, and with other players. It allows you to review your item and component list, trade with other players, Current and completed Quests, Edit your pet, change your equipment, change your stats, and to accept or invite other players in PvP battles.

Location Review

This one is fairly simple. Upon entering an area, this will pop up to tell you about the basics information of the area. Make sure you read this, as it might give you hints and clues on what to do next.

Area Information

This will provide you with all the information you need to know about your current location. It provides a list of the nearby locations you can travel to, any nearby enemies, any other players in the current area, current party information, and any NPC's or objects that you can interact with.

Surrounding Area
This will provide you with a list of any nearby buildings, and any places you can travel to from your current location. It provides two lists, the "Inside Area" list, and the "Outside Area" list. The Inside area list will tell you any buildings, shops, or objects you can interact with that are inside your current area. Outside area will provide a list of locations that you can travel to from your current spot. Depending on where you are, there may be a chance of encountering Heartless or other enemies if you travel to locations outside your current area, so make sure you read the information that is displayed before traveling.

Enemy Radar
This will display any enemies or Heartless that are within the area. By clicking on a heartless name, and then clicking "scan" a window will pop up displaying basic information on that heartless. If you click on "hunt", you will then hunt the area, and enter a battle with any heartless within that area.

Player Radar
This will display the names of any other players within the area, as well as allowing you to invite players into your party, and to scan them. It is also used in conjunction with trading with other players. To trade, click on a players name. Then, click on trade in the Status Information Bar. It will then open a trade dialog.

Character Radar
This will show you a list of NPC's or Objects that you can talk or interact with. By clicking on the character, and then clicking chat, you can engage with a conversation with them. Use this to learn on how to play, and to complete or learn about quests.

Shoutbox

The Shoutbox is what you use to chat with other players in the same area as you. But there are a few rules. Don't spam, most important rule of them all. Others include no abusing fonts, no foul language, and no flamming. The rules are the same as any other chatroom.

Battle Field

Current Status

The Status bar gives you all the information needed during a battle. It displays the currently selected enemies stats, turn order, current turn, and the currently selected allies stats. Use this to determine who to attack, heal, or, when the going gets tough, escape.

Current Turn
This will display who's turn it currently is in a battle.

Selected Ally/Enemy Stats
This will display the current stats of the enemy and ally that you have selected. This is what will give you the information needed in order to asses the situation, and allow you to decide your next move. Use it in conjunction with the Turn order. By selecting "View Team Members" on either side, you will be able to view the stats of any other enemy or ally.

Turn Order
This tells you the order of turns of you and your enemy, based on speed. Use this to figure when you will be able to do what, and when.

Command Console

The command bar will allow you to attack, use magic, escape, and use items, during your turn. Use this to choose what action you wish to perform.

Attack
Use your physical weapons to attack. You are able to choose whether or not if you want to use a sleight, (if you have the Adrenaline to use the sleight, that is,) and what part of the enemy to attack, potentially hitting their weak point. (Discover the weak point by scanning the enemy before going into battle.)

Arts
Use your currently equipped magical arts to attack or heal. Using arts costs MP, however, so you must watch your MP levels.

Items
Use any items you currently have on you to heal HP or restore MP.

Escape
Attempt to escape from battle. If you and all your allies manage to escape successfully, you will escape from battle. Although the battle will be considered a loss for you.

Battle Jukebox

The battle jukebox lets you select and play music during battle. The songs in the jukebox have all been chosen by the mods, and most are in a MIDI format.

How to Play

Basic Concepts

These are the basic concepts of what makes a good player. Read these, as they are very important.

Munny
Munny is the currency used in the RPG Inferno. You use this to purchase items within the game. You gain munny by fighting heartless, and by selling components that heartless drop.

Components
The main source of income for most beginner and veteran players. You get components by fighting and defeating heartless. Some heartless drop certain components, which are either used in quests, craft items, or for selling them in stores. Most components that are worth a price are shards/stones/gems/crystals of some sort. By collecting many shards, you can combine them into stones. By gathering many stones, you can make gems. And finally, by gathering many gems, you can make crystals. By combining shards like this, you get a final component that is worth far more then the sum of it's parts.

Banks
This is one of the most useful things in the game. It allows you to store away your munny, and to gain interest on it while it is in the bank. It also keeps your munny safe when you lose battles, as you won't lose munny if it's stored in the bank.

Stats
These decide how you perform on the battle field. What they do is as follows.

• HP (Health Points): Determines your maximum amount of Health Points. All attacks and offensive based magics take away HP. By increasing this, you expand how long you can last before you need to heal or die.
• MP (Mana/Magic Points): All magical abilities use MP. If you do not have sufficient Mana points, you will not be able to use magics. By increasing this, you can use more magics.
• STR (Strength): Determines how much HP is deducted when you use a physical attack against an opponent. The more strength you have, the more damage you can do with a single strike. It also determines your max equip weight.
• DEF (Defense): Combats strength, by decreasing the amount of damage taken when you are attacked. If your defense is higher then an enemies strength, then you will take little to no damage.
• MAG (Magic): Determines the strength of magical abilities. The more magic you have, the greater the effect of the magic.
• RES (Resistance): Combats magic. The more resistance you have, the less the effect of the magic casted on you is. This does not apply if the magic is being casted by an ally.
• DEX (Dexterity): Determines the accuracy of the attack. The more dexterity you have, the less likely it is for your attack to miss. Only applies to physical attacks.
• EVA (Evade): Combats dexterity. The more evade you have, the greater chance of you dodging an attack aimed at you. Only applies to physical attacks.
• ADR (Adrenaline): The only stat that you cannot adjust via the status menu. Adrenaline is only increased by one, for every attack you manage to land on an enemy. This determines if you can use sleights during battle. Stronger sleights require a higher adrenaline cost.

Skills
These are unlike stats, and do not effect how you perform on the battlefield. These are, instead, used to decide how powerful an object/spell/attack you can use, based on how high these stats are. To increase these stats, you can either use SP on them, or use an action associated with it to gain EXP in that Skill, eventually leading it to level up.

• Alchemy: We have yet to discover what this skill determines, but you can increase it by fusing potions, and food.
• Welding: Determines what level of shard/stone/gem/crystal you can combine. We have yet to see what increases this skill.
• Arcane: Determines how powerful a spell you can use. The higher your arcane, the better spell you can learn from a shop. You can increase this by using magics and abilities in battle.
• Combat: Determines how powerful a sleight you can buy and use. The higher the Combat, the better the sleight you can learn. You can increase this by using sleights in battle.
• Taming: Determines what pet you can buy and use. The higher the Taming, the better the pet you can buy. This can be increased by having your pet successfully obeying a command during battle.

AP, SP and Stats

• AP (Ability Points): This is what you use to increase your stats, by going to the "Status" menu in the Tool Bar. Every time you level up, you gain 5 Ability Points. With these, you can use increase your stats, making you stronger on the battlefield. You can take off, and remove any amount of AP, so you are free to customize yourself to fit the situation at hand. Using these strategically, is the key to victory in battles.
• SP (Skill Points): These do not effect how your character performs in battle. These are instead, used to decide how powerfull a pet/spell/crafting tool/sleight/component you can use. For every level you gain, you get one SP. Unlike AP, however, you cannot remove SP once you have added it on, as it is permanent.

How to get started

Originally Posted by TEM

To answer all questions on how to set up your character and begin your adventure, look below...

FIRST: Look up to the tabs at the top of the page. You should see something similar to...

HOME | RPG | CHAT | ARCADE | USER CP | LINKS | CALENDAR | MEMBERS | FAQ | SEARCH |

SECOND: Move your little cursor over to the tab that says "RPG". Click on it.

[If you are using the Tren_Z skin you will see a list scroll down from the RPG tab. Click anyone of them because they all take you to the same place]

THIRD: You should come to a pretty much blank page but if you look around the middle of the page you should see a bar which reads...

SETTINGS | MAP | CHARACTER | HELP

FOURTH: Click one RPG CP which is similar to your User CP.

FIFTH: From there simply look to your left and you will see...

RPG SUMMARY
EDIT RPG PROFILE
RPG OPTIONS

INBOX

...Then simply click "EDIT RPG PROFILE" and update your avatar, name, etc.

SIXTH Simply look back up to where you clicked "RPG CP" and click World map instead. You will see (after you let it load) a map. Only one area is able to be accessed for now. Later on when you visit other places you can access them from the world map instead of spending $ on traveling from place to place.

SEVENTH: Click into Disney Castle which is on the southern continent, west coast.

Helpful starting advice

• When you start out, make sure to talk to everyone in Disney Castle. They will tell you what to do.
• When you ask Donald about the heartless, a small link at the top of the conversation window will appear, which take you to the cellar.
• While in the cellar, train here until you're about level 3, before leaving the castle.
• If you ever need to heal, go to the Barracks in Gigas hall. You can have yourself healed free of charge.

Commonly Asked Questions

How do I get munny?
If you choose to scan a heartless, you may see that some drop different shards or berries. These shards, like in Kingdom Hearts, are important, but in a different way. You can combine shards together to create larger items through the Inventory menu and clicking to components. Selling shards is the only way to make munny in this game besides a small amount gained by defeating heartless and bosses. Larger and rarer components grant you more munny. In general, the list follows thusly:

Shards : 10 munny each
Stones: 110 munny each (10 shards required to make one stone)
Gems: 600 munny each (5 stones required to make one gem)
Crystal: 2000 munny each (3 gems required to make one crystal)

How Do I Complete ____ Quest?/How Do I Advance to the Next World?
You most commonly must defeat a boss in each world before you are allowed to advance to the next world. If you get stuck somewhere, talk to the NPCs! Most of them have very useful information, or may even give you quests you can complete for rare items! Don't just run through the world, take your time and explore each section, scan each enemy! You never know what you'll find that will help you along your quest. If a boss is too strong for you, think about WHY that boss is too strong. Think about ways you can counter them and swing the battle in your favor. Allocate your AP wisely and train your spells! Sometimes a strong Protect spell helps more than a sturdy piece of armor.
