Basics of Secfenia Tutorial

Welcome to Secfenia!
First off, welcome to Secfenia! You are joining a community of gamers and a society that should enable you to enjoy the many aspects of this game. At first, it may appear complicated, but working through these tutorials and with the help of others including your local town mentor, you will most likely come to appreciate some of the features that we have. The main thing to remember is that Secfenia is designed for you to be able to spend as little as a few minutes to all day depending upon how involved you want to get. Your input helps mold the future of this game. You don't have to read all of the tutorials to begin with. As you desire to branch out, come back and check out the other tutorials you are interested in.

With that said, let's learn about the basic activities that you should do every day.

Task Lists: Daily and Level
Secfenia has a basic task list for Daily activity to help players get started. You can view this task list system by going to the piece of parchment located about the menu area on the right hand side of the screen. If you locate the "Logout" button, it is under the brown bar there typically with two numbers (i.e. 8+10) after the parchment. The first number indicates the number of daily activities left to complete and the second number indicates the level activities left to complete.

The activities on the daily list if completed will reward you with a Pandora Point which can add up towards Premium stuff. Once completed, there will be an option to get your Pandora Point. If you forget to do that, the system will automatically do it for you at the next reset if all daily activity list items are complete.

While you do not have to do all of them a day, it is highly recommended to do so to maximize your game play with us. We will only cover a couple items on the Daily Check list in this tutorial. For additional information about other Daily check list tasks, click on the help button next to the item in the check list.

In order to level up, you will need to complete the Level 1 Tasks. They are as follows:
 * 2 Social Points (From Other Players)
 * 2 Worker Points (From Temple)
 * 100 Freznics
 * Basics of Secfenia and Basics of Level 1 Tutorial

Once you have done all of the required tasks, you will then have an option to level up on that checklist. Leveling up is instant.

Daily Action: Eat
The first thing that you should do every day is to eat. You can eat by going to the "Me" menu and selecting "My Inventory". As a new player, you are given 2 bread so that you can eat for 2 days. You should eat a bread today by selecting the "Eat" link on this row. This will change your hunger status (which is located on the second line from the top) from Very Hungry to Full since the bread is a 2 Hunger Point (HP) item.

While it is not required to eat a 2 HP item every day, you can do so. This will keep your health high. If you forget to eat, your health will go down by 2 fitness levels. If you eat only 1 HP in a day, then your health goes down 1 level. At any time, you can click on the Health level on the 2nd line to see where the level you are on right now is.

Eating until you are stuffed may get you additional stats, but you also have to be careful. Being stuffed puts you at risk of getting sick. It is random based upon the number of times that you stuff yourself. If you stuff yourself a lot in a row, your chance of getting sick increases. This sickness can be offset by using any of the standard methods for curing sickness. (See the Tutorial on Sickness and Infection for more information)

Also, good to note is that when you eat, it is logged in your events and tells you what your health should be tomorrow. This is a very helpful way to double check that you ate. You can see your events under the "Me" menu and selecting "My Events"

Another thing to note quickly is the link to transfer things to your storage box. This transfers the item to your home and is a good way to hide things away when traveling.

Daily Action: Work
The second thing that you should do every day is to work. You can find jobs located in 3 main places:


 * 1) Under the "Town" menu, select "Town Jobs"
 * 2) Under the "The Outskirts" menu, select "Out of Town Jobs"
 * 3) Under the "Town" menu, select "Temple/Cathedral/Basilica"

Working at the temple is one way to get a worker point.

You may wish to look between the three options before making your selection. This is the primary method to make money and is definitely recommended to do every single day.

Town Item Market
In the future, you will also need to purchase food and other items to be able to grow your character in game (IG). Under the Markets menu you will find the Item Market. It is sorted there under the type of item and includes links to the information about what the items are used for.

Also, it is good to note that you can sell items from your inventory on the town market by selecting the "Sell" item. These items will stay on the market until either you remove them, they are stolen by Yvyrm, or they are purchased by another player.

Players may also decide to do a reserved market trade with you that is one on one. You can find reserved market items for you under Markets > Item Market > Reserve.

Mail System
One of the avenues available to you for help or for communication is the internal mail system for the game. You can get to it either by clicking on the envelope above the current time in above the menu bar or by selecting the "Me" menu and clicking on "Message Center".

This system was designed to be similar to a web email program for ease of use. However, you can only send to one person at a time under the system. If you do accidentally send a message, you can go to the Sent Box and select "Recall Message". This will return the message to you.

Interaction
To get the full experience from Secfenia, we recommend role-playing in the forums. When you register, a forum account should automatically be created for you. Your forum account is also your tavern account. They will have the same password as your IG account. It will also create a bug tracker account for you as well.

On the forums, you can ask questions in the FAQ, give your input in the suggestion box, and role-play in the various IC (In Character) forums including your town area. In addition, you will be able to access the tavern (from Outskirts Menu under "Tavern").

If you ever need some help, please do not hesitate to ask in the forums or to contact your town mentor. You can see who this person is by going to the Town menu and selecting "Town Hall". Clicking on the person's name will open their profile and give you an option to mail them.

Finally, there may be times when you need to pause your character maybe due to vacations, personal reasons, etc. To go this, go to Settings > Away settings and select the option to Pause your Character. You can also write up a note there that will be displayed when people mail you.
