* Dead Souls Training Points * Written by Blitz@Dead Souls 960904 What are training points? Training Points are awarded for achieving a new level. They are not meant to be a means of advancing in the game, training points are to be considered an extra bonus. How can I see my points? Your training points are listed under the "score" command. How are points earned? As stated above, Training points are earned when you gain a new and "unique" level. A unique level is defined as a a level you have never before attained with your character. How does death affect points? If you happen to lose a level (or levels) upon dying you will be penalized 4 points per level. This does not apply to newbies simply because they do not lose levels from dying. For example, player Bob raises to level 6 and earns four training points. Player Bob dies a horrible death and finds himself at level 5 once again. Because Bob lost a level he received -4 points. When our example reaches level 6 again, he will "technically" earn 4 points to compensate for the recently lost points. As you can see, a player can only truly earn points for each "unique" level gained. How do I use my training points? Throughout Dead Souls there are a number of NPCs who specialize in training various skills. Trainers accept the following commands; "ask to help" will list the skills that the NPC is capable of training. "ask to train " will start the process of training in the named skill. Please note that creators (including arches) cannot answer questions regarding non-technical game play. To find a trainer, you must search for yourself or ask other players.
