If you are standing next to a hole in the floor, you can use a rope to pull up other characters, objects and even creatures from below.

To regain hit points and mana you need to eat some food. To do so, right-click on some food and select "Use". Now your hit points and your mana will increase slowly during a limited period of time.

Damage types allow you a greater variety in your attacks. All creatures have more or less stronger sensitivities against one or more damage type. By using the weapon or spell of the right damage type, you can bring down your enemy much more quickly and easily. There are 4 different damage types in Tibia: fire, energy, poison and physical. Physical damage can be dealt out to almost all enemies. Have a look at the [URL=/?subtopic=library&view=creatures][U]creatures[/U][/URL] section to find out more about the sensitivities and immunities of the single monsters and check out the [URL=/?subtopic=library&view=spells][U]spells[/U][/URL] section to see which attack spells belong to the single damage types.

You may leave Rookgaard as soon as you have reached level 8. To do so, go to the oracle in the village. If you leave Rookgaard with level 9 or above, you will find that you gain fewer hit points, mana, skills etc. than you would have received if you had left Rookgaard with level 8. These reduced values will not be readjusted! Also, please note that it is impossible to return to Rookgaard unless a character dies often enough so that the level is reduced to 6. If this happens, characters are completely reset. This means they will reappear on Rookgaard with level 1. They will lose all of their equipment and carried items as well as any levels, skills, spells, and the money in their bank account.

In all towns of DarkOT there is a postal service which allows you to send messages or items to other players' depots. All you need to do is to buy a letter or a parcel at the post office. Write the name of the addressee in the first line and the name of the hometown in the second line of the letter or the label. Also, if it is a parcel you would like to send, do not forget to place the label in it. Once you have completed this, simply post your letter or parcel in one of the blue mailboxes.

Please check if the addressee's and the city's name are spelled correctly. A single typing error such as a superfluous letter or a blank space behind the name can be enough for the sending to fail. If it is a parcel you would like to send, make sure you placed the label in it. Also note that you need to have a parcel or a letter that has not been used before for sending mail. Mail that has already been stamped will not be delivered a second time, And it's not possible to send letters or parcels to characters living in another world.

Moreover, please understand that we cannot compensate for losses of your characters' values or items in any way.

Characters set to secure mode cannot attack other characters that are not marked by a skull. This way it is not possible to attack innocent bystanders or friends by accident. Note that you can always defend yourself against attacks in this mode because aggressors will be marked automatically. Also, keep in mind that the secure mode will not prevent that your character may get a skull mark if he causes damage, e.g. by fire fields or explosions. Your character is in secure mode by default. If you want to switch to normal mode, click on the button with the white hand symbol to the right of your inventory to turn it into a fist symbol. In this mode you can freely attack all other characters. Keep in mind, however, that your character will receive a skull mark if you attack unmarked characters.

When the premium time on your account expires, the account will become a normal free account again, i.e. you will lose all special premium benefits. For example, your promotions will be suspended, you will not be able to cast promotion spells, and you cannot visit premium areas anymore (Mistrock, Helheim, Okolnir, Tyrsung). If you should decide to donate for more premium time, all features will be reactivated, i.e. you do not need to buy the promotion spells again. Your characters' skill values and experience levels will remain unchanged.

We invite you to discuss your idea with other players on the [URL=http://www.forum-DarkOT.net/suggestions-f9.html][U]proposals board[/U][/URL]. The DarkOT Team checks this board regularly, even though they do not join any discussions there. If the idea fits nicely into the context of DarkOT, there is a good chance that it will be implemented into the game.

When you kill another player in a PVP world, you either kill him justified (he had a skull when you killed him). Or you had a skull and killed this player "unjustified". And each unjustified kill you make, you will gain a "frag". if you reach 4 frags, you will gain a red skull that will last for 14 days. One frag last for 6 hours. If you get up to 6 frags you will be banished for a week. If you're playing on a pvp-enforced nothing happens, you'll only get a protection-zone lock for 15 minutes which means you cannot logout nor enter any places which are in protection zone (etc depot, temple and boats).

Players that have killed several other players unjustified and reached 3 or more, will gain a red skull. A red skull player lives dangerous, they will most likely be targeted by almost anyone see them outside protection zones. A player that is having a red skull will always drop all items and equipment when they die.
