READING NOTES
It's very important to read if not all notes, but atleast news and changes. Those might have some vital information about the mud and what is happening around. Reading notes is simple, just type out news, or if you are reading changes type out change, inote for inote and so on.

News & changes = vital things about the MUD
inotes = In Character Notes, these are roleplaying notes.
snotes = Story Notes/Roleplaying notes.
onote = Out of Character Notes, opposite to inotes.
joke = If you really have to post a joke, do it here.
qnote = If there is upcoming immortal run quests, here you can read about them.
idea = Everyone may post their ideas.

MATERIALS/FORGING/TAILORING/DOING JEWELLRY
1. You need to get materials. Different materials tend to give different kind of stats and things for your armor/weapon/etc 2. Almost all items are made of some material you can use. 3. You can also try buying materials from shops and players. 4. By typing out materials you can see what kind of materials you are carrying. This is example of my material list:

[         iron --  20 pieces ] [        steel --   8 pieces ]
