-Since counterstrikes (the primary source of beginning gexp) use endurance it is recommended to have at least 50% of your regen in endurance. +
- +
- +
-===== Counterstrikes ===== +
- +
-Counterstrikes occur automatically in combat and use a small amount of endurance per counterstrike. To avoid counterstrikes depleting your entire endurance supply, and hence making other gskills unavailable, use the '''priority <amount>''' command. +
- +
-The number and power of your counterstrikes is affected by many factors, including: the counterstrike, prana-bindu, weirdingway, and blitz gskills, your prana level, your guild level, and the strength of your opponent.   +
- +
-===== Healing ===== +
- +
-As you improve your bindu level you will gain access to many healing techniques. At the beginning, however, all you have access to is the innate healing ability of your body. BG automatically heal an amount of hp every combat round. To set the amount type '''bindu rate <rate>'''. Although you may type any rate you wish the actual amount healed is capped at your bindu level. Bindu healing uses a small amount of concentration. You can keep bindu from draining all of your consciousness by using the '''bindu min <amount>''' command.+

 +Be aware that when you level up your guild levels, you won't obtain skills immediatly, they take a little while to register. You will get a message saying 'You have learned the x ability.' when it is ready. Once you get this message, you can go train up in that skill.

 +==== Literjons ====
 +When you get your first literjon (the blue one) you can fill it up with spice at the spice bar in the guild. Once you have unlocked this, you will need to start keeping your spice levels up or your skills will suffer higher chance of failure (amongst other things i'm sure but what they are, i don't know!)
 +
 +Few useful commands:
 +  * "fill blue with spice" will fill it up to 100% (must be in the spice bar)
 +  * "drink blue" will drink some
 +  * "order spice for blue literjon" will order spice to anywhere, but will cost 1000 solaris and has a small cooldown
 +  * "ghelp literjons" for literjon entry in game
 +  * "ghelp drink" for more info on drinking the spice at a specific rate
 +
 +Your monitor will show you your spice saturation level, be careful about going above 100% because spice comas are real and once it happens you're stuck lying on the floor helpless until it abates.
 +
 +
 +==== Badmother's Newbie Advice ====
 +Here's a real quick set of tips to make the low-level BG experience less awful. The goal is to maximize your gexp rate as much as possible. 
 +  - **Kill lots of small mobs.** At the start the only gexp you get is from ''pray'' and attacks (see below). Unlike most other guilds, the gexp from ''pray'' does __not__ increase with mob level. 
 +  - **Dual-wield weapons** because you get 1 gexp for every attack. Dual wielding gives more attacks.
 +  - **Prioritize raising Qui** above any other stat because you get 1 gexp for every attack. Higher Qui gives more attacks.
 +  - **Beeline for Prana Level 10** in order to unlock ''palmstrike''. Spam this as often as you can in combat. Train up ''palmstrike'' as much as possible to increase the gexp it gives.
 +  - **Beeline for Manipulation Level 10** in order to unlock ''agony''. Spam this as often as you can in combat. Train up ''agony'' as much as possible to increase the gexp it gives.
 +  - **Beeline for Guild Level 15** in order to unlock Prana-bindu. This is passive, but increases the damage, hence gexp, of ''palmstrike''.
 +
 +At this point you should be doing OK gexp-wise. Short term goals at this point include maxing body-hardening, palmstrike, agony, and prana-bindu; getting Bindu Level 10 and training ''bandage''; evening out your stats, Wis, Qui, Dex especially; and training mud skills like Hand to Hand, Dodge, and Block.
 +
 +Medium term goals should include unlocking and training counters (glvl 45), weirding and blitz (plvls 20 and 40), and rupture (mlvl 40). At Guild Level 50 you get to start managing your spice-level.
 +
 +Here's some thoughts about the four trees (glvl, prana, bindu, manip) of skills.
 +  * Guild Level Tree: Prajna/reflexes/dao are almost useless and big wastes of gexp. You should pick one of Hands/Whips/Staves and ignore the others. I suggest Hands.
 +  * Prana Tree: Everything here is good. Use them all and max them all.
 +  * Bindu Tree: Enhance is the best skill. Use the others if you're getting damaged, I guess. Gird Edit: Math has fixed this skill now and it should restore your Fortitude shield points.
 +  * Manipulation Tree: Agony, exhaust, voice, and rupture are good. Other skills are trash.
 +
 +Endgame, your priority of training should be prana > guild level >> manipulation. There's very little reason to raise Bindu above 100.
