NEWBIE-HELPER-GUIDELINES

Newbie helpers should be available to answer questions about basic commands and functions needed to get around Arcane Ages for the first 10 levels. Teaching them to use the help files and find help on their own is also important. Above all else newbie helpers should be FRIENDLY! A good impression and a friendly face mean so much. No impression at all is better than a bad impression so if you don't feel you are right for this, don't do it.

This is not a method in which to equip every new player and then drag them around for exp. If you want to go above and beyond and help with equipment that is fine of course, but that is not the newbie helper's job. The newbie helper is to assist with commands and helping the player learn how to play Arcane Ages. Below are a list of some of the basic commands and ideas that a new player may need help with.

setting a wimpy
turning on loot
how to con mobs (consider)
setting a prompt
turning on ASCII
talking to a mob
how and where to rent
using the status/x command
how to gain levels (guildmasters and such)
explain runes/spells and basic skills to level 10
teach how to type skills wa 1 10 to see upcoming skills
teach how to use help in identifying what each skill does
