The Infamous Rookgaard – levels 1-8 With Playing Tibia
A Paladin to me is in the words of the great Xanadu himself, ” Mostly a loan wolf”. Give an experienced Paladin enough supplies and he can perform almost any task solo. A Paladin can block as good as a Knight with the noted exception of the Challenge Spell, but their shielding advances at the same rate. People actually say a good Paladin is a better blocker than a Knight for the simple fact they understand the shooters point of view and can heal for more. It’s expensive with Arrows and Bolts in the beginning, leaving you to wonder when you’ll actually make money. The answer is after level 40 and distance 70 you’ll be an efficient enough killer.
My Two Cents
Try to keep in mind that I’ve played my entire career as a Premium player so I naturally neglected a free area guide for my obvious absents of experience in this field. I’m level 72 at the moment playing in the world of Premia. Always remember that panicking is the worst idea in stressful situations as well as tense moments, try to stay focused even in sudden death situation. You would be surprised to find out how often you can make it out alive by simple choices like healing instead of running or healing the blocker first and throwing on a Energy Ring giving you time to heal. A little advice is to always carry a few backpacks of Ultimate Healing Runes but mainly heal with magic to help your magic level. Using spells like Intense Healing instead of Ultimate Healing when possible saves money on mana fluids.
The Infamous Rookguard
(Levels 1-8)
This simple little venture can be as hard or as easy as you wish. The first time I visited this place it took me 8 days to get to Main but by the second time it took me all but 56 minutes. I usually sell Rats to Tom The Tanner to get some basic equipment and a Shovel, which is usually best, accompanied by a Rope but realistically they are a little expensive together. There is a Rope that spawns once a day at the Orc Spearmen single spawn in the Troll cave to the western Premium area across the bridge to the southern direction of All’Dees shop. It’s usually a pretty good gamble to wander around the free area hunting spawns such as the Old House to the north of the free town and acquiring free equipment from the dead creatures that litter the cave floors. There are various quests at the holes and ladders in the Old House but be weary of lured creatures and traps set by people. There are is also a CHAIN ARMOR QUEST followed by the CARLIN SWORD QUEST to the north past some Minos in the lower levels of the Old House. It’s easy enough to acquire Leather Pants in the shop along with a Wooden Shield or maybe a Leather Helmet. Buying Leather Armor isn’t a bad investment in the beginning but quickly becomes outdated with the introduction of Chain Armor or Studded Armor. If you can make it to the Goblin cave in the western Premium area, it can make for some pretty decent experience if you have strong enough skills to kill them, also I would bring some food. Your weapon class in rook doesn’t really matter seeing as you will be using your distance in Main and it advances faster with the choosing of a vocation in main, given that you chose the Paladin as your destiny. Using spears in Rookguard is a waste of time since it advances faster in Main and they are harder to obtain in Rookguard for the simple reason Trolls are slow to die. Simply get new equipment as fast as possible until you can successfully kill Trolls. Go visit the Oracle to choose your visit with the advancement of level 8.
Training and Magic Information
Training is like a burden that most people accept as a sort of coming with the territory. Training is always a advantage with the notable exception to doing so in Rookguard. There is no magical level to start training because the better your skills the faster you can level in a sense. With each skill earned your damage and accuracy increases which in turn gradually reduces your Bolt and Arrow usage making for a increased profit.
Now the fun comes with the wonderful task of picking up Spear after Spear after Spear for hour after hour. If you haven’t guessed I was being sarcastic, training is really annoying but the good thing is all you really need is distance 70 for graduated hunting but distance 80 is what your shooting for being the ideal distance in my mind. Training is simple enough before distance 80. Get a nice Mage friend to summon a Monk or 2 and you buy a decent amount of Spear at least a few hundred along with plenty of food which in turn makes for a decent training experience. In Tibia all avatars can block only 2 opponents at a time (A exception to this is the Halloween Hare) so with this in mind think about it like this. If you attack the Monk it has a chance to block your attack alone, so if you where to lure 2 weak creatures to attack the Monk, it in a sense breaks the shielding leaving it open to your attack giving you a higher hit percentage which means more blood hits. From what I’ve heard but not tested, blood hits count for more towards a advance in distance fighting. The training is boring but it goes by fast and you might even grow interested in training because of the ease prompting you to continue on. At around distance 70 it becomes harder to train on Monks because you do much more damage and the Monk can’t heal fast enough to negate the damage being delt. When you have enough mana also you can convince Dark Monks in the Dark Cathedral and use either Spears and even Throwing stones come in handy if you’ve collected enough. In Player Verse Player servers you can train with other people also. I would suggest a Paladin around your level or a higher level Knight. It’s easier to train with a Paladin in my opinion since they use thier own powerful magic spells to heal. You should be ready to change your styles of fighting that include, defensive, balanced and full attack to reach a balanced form of damage dealt and recieved. Equipment has a lot to do with training also so be ready to change it around to suit yourself and your training buddy.
So what about shielding? I got my shielding up using a Ghoul because it was so much easier since it was on my time after I could convince them. When spears started breaking I begun using a sword to train with. It’s not really a major need, but it’s come in handy for me plenty of times blocking creatures. It’s really nothing to carry a Demon Shield on you just incase the Knight dies because you may need to take on the role as blocker or make a hasty exit and being able to block extra damage can save your life. Having a shield is great when a high level Knight is attacking you with a weapon with 45+ attack. Keep mind healing is the number one priority.

Champions Tactics Guide For Playing Lotro
When you are playin Lord Of Rings Online ,Do you want to play well a champion in LOTRO ? Ok, this is just a brief guide for your reference , wish you like â¦
Fervour? ok lets start with that, a great toggle skill but also the bane of a badly played champ! dismissing all block/parry/evade chances in exchange for heavier damage and power regen. Personally I only have it turned off when acting as tank in liue of a guardian when in fellowships. When Iâm out soloing I always have it on, why? because of that damage and power bonus! Kill it before it kills me !
So we have no parry evade or block if we use fervour! What can us champs do? Well, thereâs a funky skill, commonly overlooked by higher level champs, Exchange of Blows is always the second button I press! the first being to ramp up the fervour for the first attack. Exchange of blows, although only doing little bits of damage per attack recieved, is damageâ¦its what I call âa champions block/evade/parryâ hah.
Ok thats fervour covered, now what about weapons? (Note : You can use your LOTRO Gold for some powerful weapons )
Always use weapons that your race gets a bonus with via traits. Personally I like swords anyway so i am bias in that regard. Use 2 handed swords/axes for when in a fellowship and you are the damage dealer, and dual wield when you are soloing, ofcourse sometimes its more viable to use the other way around depending on what the weapon stats are.
Bows, great for pulling when youâre on your own, and for any additonal bonuses that bow might have! However, always unequip it when you are in a fellowship doing elites etc. because you will get pauses when fighting/moving where you are just out of melee range! NOT GOOD!
Ok now the triky one – Shields, I personally have always carried a shield just incase I need to cut and run, I do not have the heavy shield trait equipped, it is a wast of a trait slot in my opinion, however I do keep a crit\âed high end shield on me for those moments where you really do need to get that boost of armour and run like the clappers. i really do not think that a champion should sacrifice dual wield or 2handed for no reason, I class a shield as my extra Sudden Defence. Adding block while I run from the big nasty trolls
Hope this guide would give you some help !

Age of Conan: End of Week Playing Aoc Review
This week I got the DT to 79, and we did quite a bit of city building. One part of the game I am not focusing on (right now) is crafting, this is due to many reasons. The Devs have a lot of fixes to implement as well as the fact that my guild already has a lot of crafters in it. (If you have any questions on crafting, I can get the answers for you)
AOC has a very tight coin system in play, even at level 70+ you will not be flowing with coin. From level 1 to 79 I made less then 20 gold, it is true however that at 70+ the coin does start to come a little easier. Most 70-80 level items sell for 20-30 copper to a merchant. Because the game is now in a state of power leveling, there are tons of loot bags left all over the high level zones, as people are trying to get to the higher levels quickly. (Free loot for all if you want to pick them up)
In the next week I will be working on a review of the DT with all feats reviewed/discussed. I will also be leveling the POM. As most players know your first character to cap is the slowest. (I expect the leveling time with the POM to be less then half of the DT) In the coming week I will also be working on a leveling guide, although from 50-80 the power leveling guide that I already posted will out run anything you can do solo, even if you are one of the over powered classes.

Main – levels 9-40 With Playing Tibia
Welcome to main an interesting place of arrival, full of many Quests, Puzzles and Mysteries to unravel. In my opinion it’s best to be a Premium player when playing a Paladin for the simple reason there is a much broader creature class to hunt which is a key advantage since this vocation can kill almost anything solo with out much problem with the exceptions to the new creatures implemented like the boss’s and even newer creatures in the more unknown parts.
Your first priority should be to buy either the Light Spell or the Find Person Spell, keep in mind that the Light Spell is outdated with implementation of ambient light. The update helped Paladin’s since they couldn’t hold light sources and had to resort to spells using magic points. I would personally start out in Darashia seeing as Paladin’s can buy spells at the local magic shop located in central Darama and the Magic Carpet is moderately cheap. The particular none playable character your looking for is Razan. Your next move is really your choice as long as it involves trolls and assorted low-level creatures or training. Upgrading your equipment would also be a smart investment keeping in mind your only fighting Trolls so anything better than rook equipment will do fine. My suggestion is to go buy Scale Armor, do the BRASS LEGS QUEST, buy a Dwarven Shield, Scarf and maybe a Steel Helmet.
Edron is my place of choice with the Edron Trolls being a great source of free spears and a BRASS LEGS QUEST which is quite nice considering what your fighting. A decent distance to train to would be 60, since at this skill your accuracy is decent enough to start making a small profit at least enough to buy your supplies back with. Realistically I know no one likes picking up spear after spear all day, so 50 distance is good enough to start hunting with a Bow. At 50 distance you may or may not make a profit back using your Bow depending on what you hunt.
Arrows are your best choice at a low level seeing as they’re cheaper. The transition to Bolts is your choice but I wouldn’t suggest doing so before distance 70 otherwise you might not be able to make enough profit to pay for your supplies, the bulk of the money being Bolts. It is entirely possible and not looked down upon to continue using Arrows because it can save a lot of money. I use a combination of both really with distance 85. Arrows for average creatures and Bolts for stronger creatures like Dragons or any type of group hunt because I want the most experience.
At some points after you reach level 20 you should begin thinking about getting a Promotion. A Promotion increase your magic and health regeneration as well as decrease your loss of experience from 10 percent to 7 percent of your total experience. A good idea is to save your money from the DESERT DUNGEON QUEST. This is a great investment but not your number one priority, the advantage I like is it speeds up your magic advances.
I would suggest settling down and hunting around until about level 40. This is a good time to start looking in to the Invisible Spell. Your magic level is extremely important though because it builds the foundation to the highly anticipated magic spell rune called Sudden Death. The Sudden Death Rune opens up the ability to hunt stronger creatures solo, which most Paladins including myself pride themselves.
Hunting Areas
(No point in telling you exactly where to hunt as that wouldn’t be your choice so I just consolidated a list of a few places I personally have hunted at.)
GIANT SPIDER TOMB (Level 13 plus with at least 50 distance) <—-(Money maker at lower levels)
Located under the large stone with the Giant Spider on it , to the far north of Ankrahmun or to the west of the ramp from Darashia.This tomb to me is ideal being as you get food from the Hyenas and the hardest creature you face is a Ghoul. With all the Skeleton’s this makes for a perfect place to make a loot bag. Good idea to carry a parcel on you to send in town so you don’t have to drag it to the depot and potentially thieves. Most of the second level is also prime hunting with the exception one of the north hallways which has a interesting room that includes a Mummy, Stalker, a Demon Skeleton and some more creatures if my memory servers me correctly.
PENINSULA TOMB (Level 13 plus with at least 50 distance) <—-(Money maker at lower levels)
Located to the southwest of Ankrahmun on a little Peninsula near the water. The idea is to clear the first level clearing the southern most portions and the eastern most portions. To the north there is a Scarab spawn which can prove sticky at this level but possible. Not sure what’s over to the far left but if my memory serves me correctly it might be a Mummy and Demon Skeleton spawn.
MOUNT STERNUM (Level 15 plus with at least 55 distance)
Located to the northeast of Thais, this is home to a decent spawn of Cyclops’s above the ground up ramps and down a ladder on the far side of the mountain. When hunting and luring the Cyclops’s make sure not to get trapped by a wall or maybe another player trying to kill you. Not a bad place to hunt at a low level if it’s not full of low levels. A nice Ghoul spawn is at the bottom as well as a complex system of caves that connect to Kazordoon Mines. Be weary exploring the areas past the Ghoul hole as a Giant Spider roams the caves and a single Fire Elementle spawn. There is also a single spawn Dwarf Geomancer protected by a Dwarf Guard.
GRAVEYARD (Level 15 plus with at least 55 distance) <—-(Decent money maker)
An old hunting spot located below the Necromancer House in the Plains of Havoc. If it hasn’t changed then it should be full of Ghouls, Skeletons and a few Demon Skeletons. The combination makes for decent loot, or it use to at least being one of the prime spots to power game a new Paladin in a new world. The loan problem is your must drag your loot bag to parcel it, either to the Outlaw Camp or all the way to a town.
DWARF SOLDIERS (Level 20 plus with at least 55 distance) <—-(Decent money maker)
Located to the south of Fermur hills, there usually a few levels down. They are sometimes accompanied by Dwarf Guards so be careful. A group of them can kill you fast seeing as you have no shield and also they use bolts as a distance attack. Careful dragging your loot as a lot of bags litter the ground making it easy to loose your loot.
DWORCS (Level 25 plus with at least 60 distance) <—-(Money maker)
Located to the far south of Port Hope with holes littering the ground but hidden. So you wonder why Dworcs? The reason is Dworcs are easy with good money and a low chance of dieing. I’m not suggesting you do what I did but I had 40 swording and I could one hit them with a Bright Sword giving me all gain at no loss. I got my shielding up using a Ghoul because it was so much easier since it was on my time after I could convince them. It’s also decent experience at around 20K a hour. The strange little items they drop are worth their weight in gold ranging from 250gp to 750gp. They also drop a rare dress called a Bask Skirt which is part of the Sweaty Cyclops Quest in Ab’dendriel for the OBSIDEN KNIFE QUEST. If I didn’t have 40 swording I would have to advise you to drag some arrows there and kill them collecting the throwing knifes and using them, keeping your expenses down. With that said I would suggest killing the Voodoo Masters first after acquiring some Dwarven Rings because the Voodoo Masters cast Paralyze, Poison and make you Drunk. Your going to be Poisoned around 99 percent of the time so no use in curing it, might as well save it to use Intense Healing unless the Poison is from a Voodoo Master which is around 4-5 damage.
PLAINS OF HAVOC CYCLOPS (Level 30 plus with 70 distance)
The Cyclops’s in the Plains of Havoc make for a nice bit of experience. To the south are roaming undead creatures including Ghouls, Demon Skeletons and Skeletons. There are Orcs to the farther south and also Hunters. The worst of your worries is the infamous Giant Spider spawns scattered below the Cyclops’s, so be careful. There is a ramp in the Cyclops camp that leads down a hole with a lot of Minotaur class creatures along with Cyclops’s. A daily weapon spawn is located in this cave so you can take advantage and make some free money. If you should go for the spawn I would suggest going invisible, seeing as going down and running is nearly impossible and will lead to a loss of profit through healing.
(Beware of the Minotaur Archers and encampment of Minotaur on your way down)
MINTWALLEN (Level 30 plus with at least 65 distance) <—-(Biggest money maker)
Located in the Old Temple to the north of Thais. You must walk a through a long complex tunnel and past Poisen Fields or a single Dragon spawn.The hardest part about hunting in this place is actually being able to get the spawn since everyone always wants to hunt there. The initial spawn at the front gate can be a bit tricky with the Minotaur Archers, Minotaurs and Minotaur Mages, accompanied by Minotaur Guards all at one time which can make for a rude awakening if you rush in. The idea is to lure as few Minotaurs as possible from the entrance back down to the bridge. You can rope the Minotaur Mages up at the front gate to the third level and not have to worry about them. If you can find the keys displaced around the town you can lure the Minotaur Mages up the stairs in Thrown Room to the ledge outside or the tower to the south of the room. If you haven’t done the POSTMANS QUEST don’t say anything to Markwin the guy that looks like a Minotaur mage, because he summons alot of different Minotaurs at once which is part of the quest. (Bring some food or a Fishing Rod and Worms, also if possible get a Obsiden Knife seeing as Minotaur Leather can sell for a decent amount in bulk)
CYCROPOLIS (Level 30 plus with at least 65 distance) <—-(Decent money maker)
Located to the northeast of Edron, Cycropolis hence the name is full of Cyclops’s as well as other interesting creatures like Dwarf Guards and Dwarf Soldiers. A collection of Orcs is located on the first floor to the far northeastern corner as well as a assortment Elf Arcanist and Elf Scouts so I wouldn’t suggest exploring this area. The first level is easy if you can get past the stairs at the beginning, which can be tricky, so bring a few Great Fireball Runes to clean the Cyclops’s and the 3 Dwarf Soldier’s complete with a Dwarf Guard. (Side note careful wandering in the forest as there is a Hunter camp to the northwest of the trail to Cycropolis)
HEROS (Level 35 plus with at least 70 distance) <—-(Possible tibia money maker)
Located to the north western parts of northern Edron, it’s to the north of Edron 9 spawn Dragons. One of the hardest parts about Hero’s is actually making it to them. A hunters camp guards the entrance to begin with followed by Demon Skeletons, Priestesses, more hunters, Beholders, Monks and finally a 3 spawn Dragon. I would suggest 2-3 shooters and a blocker around level 40. You could also take some Explosion Runes for sticky situations on entry and exits. An idea that also works is going Invisible with the spell or ring then casting hast to run past all the creatures except the dragons. There is a 1 spawn and a 2 spawn Hero along with groups scattered across rooms off to the side of the hallway to the Annihilator where it’s possible to rope them up.
(Make sure to bring food, as it’s a little scarce down here)

Online Games: Getting to Know Computer Role Playing Games
Overview
Online Role Playing Games, or sometimes refereed to as Computer Role Playing Games, are a wide range of games that requires the player to build a hero or a character based on his preferences and fancy. These are types of games where one interacts with other players in the virtual world (usually in groups).
As the game advances, the player’s character should be able to acquire experience as he or she will be needing this in order to succeed with other rounds or quests. The character must be able to become more powerful and should be able to obtain new and advanced abilities.
Electronic role playing games is a broad genre under the video games category. These were the early beginnings of inline role playing games. These games were originally from Dungeons and Dragons, a traditional role playing game which had been the basis for advance online role playing games nowadays. The game mechanics and the settings of the games were formatted from this game.
Interactions in online role playing games are done in the virtual world using the internet. These may be done individually (single player games) or with a group of friends or team mates (multiplayer games). Computer role playing games offer almost identical features with online role playing games.
Avatar
Online role playing games revolves on making or building your own character. These characters are also called avatars. More often, players find it fun and put effort in choosing their avatars. There are different abilities that your avatar can excel on. However, the abilities and powers of the characters depend on the progression of the game.
The characters represent the skills and abilities of the player himself. It shows how he or she decide or control the game outcomes. A status screen displays the attributes of the player and his character. It uses numerical values instead of meters, bars, and other simple abstract graphical representation that the usual video games utilize.
Fantasy Setting
A fictional and high fantasy setting is another feature of online role playing games (and other RPGs in general). These settings come from science fiction or space opera themes. However, some online RPGs also utilize historical settings and backgrounds.
Exceptions to these trends are online role playing games such as Bloodlines (“gothic punk), Arcanum (steam punk), Darklands (a combination of medieval German legend and history), Fallout (post-apocalyptic), and Mount and Blade (Medieval Europe with no magic or fantasy).
Quests
Team members or a group of characters (usually called a party) join forces to complete their missions (usually called “quest”). However, a single player may also do this by himself with the help of other players. These quests are usually fantasy fiction inspired. But classical mythology and science fictions are also used as basis for the missions.
These missions comprise different adventures along the way. Some challenges are defeating the evil boss, rescuing a princess, or clearing a dungeon of monsters. Some games require the character to talk to a Non Player Character (NPC) to know and receive his or her mission or quest.
Fetch quest, locational puzzles (such as opening locked doors by means of a hidden lever or a key), or engaging in dialogues are some of the requirements to proceed to the next level or challenge.
Majority of the online role playing games are playedas a linear narrative. Meaning, one plays the game in a predetermined sequence. They just have to comply with the requirements for the next level to complete the entire mission.

Psychologists Find Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, Good Academic Research
Ever since Pong the first video game people have been attracted to video games. Today video games are a billion dollar business and growing to over 11.5 million subscribers as of December, 2008. There are new games being developed every day and the level of sophistication and realism is staggering.
The first games where not much more than a bouncing dot with a paddle to redirect or block the dots, like Pong or Aliens. Later the theme changed to a bigger dot eating the little dots like PackMan. As the graphics and the processing power improved the games got better like Kings Quest, When Novell first started developing network software, they had a multiplayer interactive game called Snips and so started network interactive games.
Today with the advent of the internet and virtual reality, Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG) is the latest rage. The MMORPG is a role-playing game in which a many players interact with one another within a virtual game world through the internet.
As in any Role Playing Game, the players assume the role of a fictional character called an avatar and take control of that character’s actions in the virtual game world. Unlike the older single player games like Duke Nukem these games keep changing as new player enter the game all the time.
The themes of popular MMORPGs are based on traditional fantasy like Dungeons & Dragons, involving sword and sorcery. Interactions between the players may include fighting, flirting as well as teaming up with other players to obtain a particular goal or to overcome a more powerful player.
As you can see these games are fun, challenging and the number of subscribers to these games are growing every day. But did you know psychologists and sociologists are using MMORPGs as tools for academic research, to study subjects like emotional range and social interaction.
Oddly enough the Center for Disease Control used a temporary design glitch in the game World of Warcraft, where the Corrupted Blood disease of a monster began to spread uncontrollably throughout the game as a research model to chart both the progression of a disease, and the potential human response to large-scale epidemic.
Well I don’t know about you but I am not going to allow a bunch of psychologists spoil my fun so I will see you in the virtual world.
The following is a list of the top 10 Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games
World of Warcraft, released 2004 – 8.5 million subscribers.
Habbo Hotel, released 2000 – 7.5 million active users.
RuneScape, released 2001 – 5 million active users.
