NeverQuest is a work in progress. More of a Learning
exercise in Visual Basic that
has gotten out of control. 8)
NeverQuest is a "click" game with both buttons and some
graphics being clickable.
(Click the graphic in towns to clear any dialog, enable
the Travel Buttons etc.)
In Towns:
RUMORS to get an idea of what to do next.
GUILD HALL to Talk to Guild Members and the Guild Leader.
QUEST to know if you've triggered a Quest in the Area
and what it might be.
CHURCH/TEMPLE to Pray, Refresh Your Health and Spirit.
The Travel and Encounter Screens are combined with the
Control Buttons becoming
Visible and Enabled depending upon your Class and the
Situation.
Traveling:
The choices will be obvious, continue to your destination
or TURN AROUND and return
to your last destination. (With a HUD showing your destination
and how far you are
from your Last Destination or Bind Point.... You "Auto
Bind" when ever you reach a new town.)
Traveling to a New Place always takes Longer (more clicks)
than
Returning to your Last Location "Strides from: (Location)".
A Rogue travels fastest, followed by a Ranger, Wizard,
then Warrior... but you'll get Journeyman's
boots later on in the game that will significantly increase
your travel speed.
You slowly regenerate hit points, mana points, and ability
points as you travel, but if
you REST you'll regenerate them alot faster, thou there
is still a chance your
resting will be interupted by an Encounter.
Encounters:
Range is a Critical Factor in every Encounter, so be careful
not to be clicking so
fast when you're traveling that you run yourself right
up to the MOB when you hit
an Encounter.
An Encounter can begin with the Range to the MOB from
100 yards to 0 yards.
Attack, Ranged Attack, Spells, and Abilities become available
depending upon the Encounter Situation and Character Class.
The MOB is not visible beyond 80 yards and must be visible
for any ranged attack or spell.
At 60 yards the MOB's BASE stats become known until the
end of the Encounter.
At 30 yards there is a slight chance the MOB will Lunge
toward you and try and strike.
At 0 yards Ranged Attack is not Possible but a Wizard
can still cast a spell.
You can RETREAT at any time....
but the MOB will chase you until you are more than 120
yards away from it.
DEFEND gives a small AC bonus when attacking and can be
used to let the MOB move
toward you (like when they're not yet visible).
Warriors AUTO DEFEND when attacking.
If a Warrior is BEZERK, DEFEND will cancel it.
If a Rogue uses his EVADE ability he Must use DEFEND
for it to take effect.
Abilities:
BEZERK gives a 1 Round Bonus to the Warrior's Melee Attack
and Defense.
POISON gives a 1 Round Bonus to the Rogue's Ranged and
Melee Attack.
EVADE gives the Rogue a chance to put distance between
himself and the MOB.
DEAD EYE gives the Ranger a 1 round Bonus with his Ranged
Attack.
Potions:
Red adds Health Points
Blue adds Mana Points
Green adds Ability Points
Black makes a MOB run away in Fear
The ShopKeeper will automatically buy any potions you
might find that you cannot
use unless you are a Ranger who can use all the different
potions.
View Stats / Level Up:
You can View your stats at anytime with this button, but
can only Save your Game if
you are in a town. If a Level Up is Available the button
will say Level Up and the
next time you view your stats (Even in the Middle of
a Fight) you'll gain a level
and all your hp, mp, and abi points will be filled to
thier new MAX.
Tips:
Level Ups come really fast and as you get stronger so
do the MOBs.
The Store Items will also get more expensive as you Gain
Levels.
So sometimes it's better to save a Level Up for a Critical
Moment like when you are
low on Health, Mana, or Ability Points.... or you're
trying to save up gold to buy an item.
Druid Rings are the Safest Spots to Rest and when New
Areas are added you'll be able
to buy ports at them to other Druid Rings.
