Tutorial 8 - How to Learn More.

(Guide)Master: Welcome to Syrnia, [Player Name]!

You have arrived at the second-to-last location. This Tutorial has come to an end.
If you want to learn more about any specific game skills, be sure to check the Manual.
There's a link to the manual at the bottom of the page, next to the chat bar.
If the manual doesn't cover it, Help chat will. Syrnia is full of helpful players who can answer any specific question you might have.

We hope this tutorial was useful to you and saved you a lot of time trying to figure things out on your own.

You are no longer just "[Player Name]". You are now a Syrnian!

Proceed to the final tutorial.

  Tutorial 7 - Fighting for Fortune and Fame.

Valera Knight: Hello, [Player Name].

You are probably eager to fight some monsters! However, we will not allow you to fight on Tutorial Island since you could die and lose all your items.
If you like, you could begin fighting in Syrnia right away, upon completion of the tutorial. If you want to begin Combat, be sure to remember these things:

• Be prepared. Make sure you have cooked or grown food with you to heal yourself upon taking damage.
• Make sure you have a good set of armour, along with a weapon (and equip them!).
• To start fighting, go to Valera and fight the Rats at the training grounds.
• Construct or but a house, and then deposit your valuables in your house so you don't lose them upon an untimely death.
• Your gp (gold points) are not lost upon death, but storing them in your house can help protect against potential thieves.

You cannot fight other players on the main islands. You can only fight them in "The Outlands", which is a huge island dedicated to Player vs. Player (PvP) combat.

You may now continue forth to Tutorial 8, new Syrnian.

  Tutorial 6  - Cooking your own Dinner

Cooking Master: Hello there, [Player Name].

Today, I will be teaching you how to cook your inedible raw fish into something quite delicious.
With your Tinderbox and Wood, you are ready to start a fire and get to cooking!

• To begin, equip your Tinderbox from your Inventory.
• Click on "Cook Shrimps" from the City Menu.

Go ahead and try to cook your Shrimps. After you have done so, click on "Tutorial 6" from the City Menu to come back and talk with me.

Cooking Master: Nice going, [Player Name]!

You managed to successfully cook (or burn...) some Shrimp!
There are many types of things to cook within the world of Syrnia.
There are also many different tools that can aid your endeavors in Cooking, such as Cauldrons and special tinderboxes.
If you ever find yourself stuck or needing help, you can try reading the Manual for some very helpful information on everything Syrnia has to offer. There is a white Manual link located near the bottom of your Chatbox.

It seems you have learned all that I can teach you about the Cooking skill.

Farewell, [Player Name]. The next Master eagerly awaits your arrival at Tutorial 7.

 Tutorial 5  - Woodcutting Like a Lumberjack

Woodcutting Master: G'day, [Player Name]!

Its time for you to learn how to chop down trees like a lumberjack!
I am sure you are getting the hang of things by now, but let's just go ahead and go over the basics one more time.

1. First, equip your Bronze Hatchet by clicking on it in your Inventory.
2. Next, be sure to click on "Woodcut" under the City Menu.

After you have chopped down a  tree, you will get 1 Wood.
Once this is accomplished, come back and speak with me!

Woodcutting Master: Great going, [Player Name]!

You managed to chop down an entire tree, and you have some Wood.
You might find treasure other than just plain ol' Wood while training Woodcutting.
You can sometimes find seeds in the trees, which you can plant and grow to train your Farming level.
You might also stumble upon some Locked Chests. They are rare and worth quite a bit.

Well, these are the basics of the Woodcutting skill.
If you are ready to move on to the next Master, I wish you the very best in your travels!

 Tutorial 4  - Fishing in the Streams and Seas of Syrnia

Fishing Master: Ahoy there, [Player Name]!

Today, you will be learning about the art of Fishing.
Fishing is one of the deepest skills Syrnia has to offer.
There are many different tools and boats that can be used to fish, from a plethora of locations.
Fishing is also very profitable, as you can always sell your raw fish to other players who are training their Cooking skill.
Whenever you are ready to catch your first Shrimp, just equip your Net by clicking on it in your inventory.
Once you have your Net equipped, then you are ready to start fishing. Just click on the "Fish" link under the City Menu.

Fishing Master: Congratulations! You caught your first Shrimp!

When you're a newbie, early fish are pretty small and don't give much experience, but that will change with a little hard work and dedication to the skill.
As your levels grow, you will be able to catch even larger fish that heal you for more hitpoints when cooked.
Once in a while, you might even fish up a bit of sunken treasure!
As the saying goes: Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
It appears that is exactly what I have done! When you are ready, you can click on the map to move to the next Tutorial. The next Master awaits.

 Tutorial 3  - Smelting Ores and Smithing Equipment

Smithing Master: Welcome, [Player Name]!

Today, I will teach you how to smelt Bronze bars, and how to smith them into a variety of items.
After you create your first weapon, I will send you off to the next Master.

1. Make sure you have both Tin and Copper ore in your Inventory.
2. If you have both ores, you can click on the "Smelt Bronze Bars" option in the City Menu.

Smithing Master: Congratulations, [Player Name]! You just smelted your first Bronze bar!

Now that you have a Bronze bar in your Inventory, you can try and smith it into something useful.
If you look inside your Inventory, you should see a Bronze hammer.
You will always need to have a Hammer equipped if you want to smith items.
Just a reminder: You will NOT need to equip a tool to semlt ores into bars.
When you are ready, click on the "Smith" link inside the City Menu to open the Smithing interface.

Smithing Master: Congratulations, [Player Name]! You created your first Bronze dagger!

Remember! To smith items, you first have to gather the ores from mining, or trading with other players.
After you have the ores, you can then smelt them into bars.
Smelting ores into bars can be a great way to train the Smithing skill.
Once you have the required bars, you can use them to smith whatever equipment you desire, all depending on your Smithing level!
Sometimes, you might even get lucky and smith items that are extra durable.

This is all that I have to teach you. If you are ready, you can click on "Tutorial 4" in your Minimap to travel to the next Master.

 Tutorial 2  - Mining Ores, and Learning the Interface

Syrnia's Interface: Do you see the link "Learn about the Interface" under the City Menu, located near the top-left of your screen? Go ahead and try giving that a click.

Once you have learned about the interface, you can move on to Step 2 by speaking with the Mining Master below.

Mining Master: You kept me waiting, [Player Name]!

I am the Master of Mining. I will teach you the basics of the Mining skill, so listen up!

You can move on after mining at least 1 Tin ore, and 1 Copper ore.
Once you have completed this task, click on "Tutorial 2" in the City Menu to bring you back to this page.

1. Equip your Bronze pickaxe by clicking on it in your Inventory.
2. Click "Mine Tin ore" located in the City Menu to begin mining for Tin ore.
3. After you get 1 Tin ore, you will need to click "Mine Copper ore" and gather 1 Copper ore.
4. The ores will appear in your Inventory once you have mined them.

You can also click "Learn about the Interface" again if you want to be sure you fully understand everything.
If you do get stuck or need help, remember that you can always ask any game-related questions in Game Help Chat [5].
Please be sure to use Help Chat for game-related questions only. Once you complete the Tutorial, other chats for general conversation or trading will become available.

Mining Master: Congratulations! You have successfully mined 1 Tin ore, and 1 Copper ore. Well done!

Sometimes while mining, you might even stumble across a few precious gems!
I have taught you the basics of the Mining skill. You are now able to gather your own resources in Mining and perfect your craft.
Now that you have gathered both of the ores, you are ready to continue onward to the next Tutorial.
By clicking on "Tutorial 3" inside your Minimap, you will start moving toward the next Master. Good luck!

 Tutorial 1  - Navigating the World

Speed Master: Hello [Player Name], and welcome to Syrnia!

I am the Master of Speed. To begin your adventure, you will be learning the basics of the Speed skill.
You will learn how to move around the world of Syrnia, and how to become faster at it over time.
Let's get you started by learning what Speed is all about.

Speed Master: Speed is a useful skill that requires a lot of devotion to train.

There are special items and magical enchantments that can reduce your walking timer.
If you are riding a horse, you will move much faster, but gain NO Experience.
You also won't find any flowers or items while riding a horse between locations.

Speed Master: Before I send you off on your way...

You should know that there are areas in Syrnia that can be dangerous for newer players.
There is an island dedicated to player vs. player combat, where the strongest players dominate.
On some islands, creatures will automatically attack you when you move to a new location, which is no joke!
If you ever are stuck as to what to do next, you can always use Game Help Chat [5] for any questions you may have.

Speed Master: Do you see the Minimap in the top-right corner of your screen?

To begin moving, all you must do is click on the town you want to travel to.
You can only travel to towns that are beside your current location. You can't skip towns.
When you are ready, move to the next Tutorial by clicking "Tutorial 2" on your Minimap.
That's about it for the basics of Speed! I've taught you what I know. Good luck, [Player Name]!

Towering over the entire Celebration Island, the magnificent Icicle Peak provides a truly magnificent view of the entire island from its peak. Looking out you can just see the dark lands of Halloween far in the distance and even just on the horizon, the lights from Birthday Town and Cottontail Village.

Within the rocks, huge spike shaped formations of crystal, stick out from within the stone. Hard as diamond and cold to the touch, these formations catch the sunlight and project magnificent rainbows of colour onto the rocks and land below with the light is just right. Enjoying the view, the peace is disturbed as some of those mischievous gnomes laugh and mock, throwing snowballs in your direction.

A small rocky path to the South Leads down towards the Frozen Lake, while a path to the South West leads to the colourful Tinsel Town.

Welcome to the highest point in the Celebration Isles. The peaks, while beautiful, are full of misbehaving gnomes that are somewhat ruining the place. You may want to teach them a lesson and send them on their way. Alternatively if you have a spade, you may want to try and dig around in the rocks to see if they hid anything up here. These gnomes are known for being naughty and trying to steal things from Tinsel Town.

Meanwhile hiding in a small cave entrance, you see a group of elves shivering in the cold. Perhaps they could do with some help?

Illuminated in the sparkling light cast from the Icicle Peaks to the North, sits the small hamlet of Tinsel Town. This quaint, brightly coloured collection of houses and shops, as if made of toy blocks, creates a rainbow of colour as the snow gently settles on the roof tops. Jolly music and singing can be heard in the streets as Elves and festive gnomes are scurrying around trying to get everything ready in time for the celebrations.

As you continue towards the centre of town, you see a large snow covered wooden building towards the edge of town, which from within can be heard the sound of hammers and carpenters. It must be Santa's workshop!

A tinsel decorated signpost points the road to the North and Icicle Peak looks rather chilly, as another points the way South East to the Frozen Lake.

Welcome to Tinsel Town. Here you'll find a small tavern with comfortable warm fireplace to settle down for a few drinks or you may be able to use some of the many ovens to bake up some festive treats. Alternatively, you may want to look to help out at the workshop, making toys and decorations.
