Could someone provide me with a little guide, please?

Hey guys/girls. I am new around here, just noticed I got the link for the Beta, haha. Anyway, I understand the basics of this game I guess. Making food, learning skills, etc. However, I am still confused. You can buy houses? What is this Focus Orb thing? At first I thought this was going to be a crappy kids game but it turns out it is a very unique fun game. Thanks.

  • Yes, you can buy houses but the cheapest residence is an apartment for about 1,000 currants so it might take you a couple days or more to get that much.  You also need to go to the Bureaucratic Hall at Gregarious Grange and buy papers which will allow you to buy a home.

    At the bottom of your Home page you will find the Link to Real Estate Listings.

    There is a thread here which includes the Focus thing.

    Most folks are happy to help so you can ask others if you have questions while you play.  You can also join a Group or start one.  You can read Group discussions while you are playing.

    You will also get (or have) a Focus Orb in your inventory.  This will help you get more Energy and a better Mood and eventually allow you to Levitate.  How much you can do with it depends on your Skills.

  • Turbosic, I will give it a shot.

    1. The rock on top of screen assigns you quests. It also lets you choose skills to learn(or you can learn from your profile page).
    2. The focus orb lets you meditate for few seconds; thus helping you gain xp and/or mood. There is a limit to number of energy points you can obtain from focus orb per game day.
    3. You can check your focus orb limits and free quoins (coins you find while running around) limits by clicking on game day information on top of the screen
    4. You can buy a house by learning bureaucratic arts and getting papers from bureaucratic hall on gregarious grange  
    5. There is logic to how skill learning time changes. You can bunch of links here http://beta.glitch.com/forum/general/3060/.
    6. For game specific details like how much energy per food etc, wiki is best place to visit. Or browse the forums to get updated information. There is also Live help channel in game where you can ask for help.

    Hope this helps.

  • I highly recommend that you click gia's link and get the Skill Queue app.  This will appear on your Home page and allow you to queue skills.  Any skill that you are learning when the Game closes will continue even though the game is closed.  When the closing is announced, many of us like to stop the current skill and start one that might take several days to learn.  Then when the Game opens again you will have either learned that skill or be much further along with it's completion.

  • Thanks a lot people!

    Also, is there some sort of world map so I can see exactly where everything is instead of following random signs?

  • Yes, just hit M and the map shall appear. You can also choose (and search) streets to be your destination and use a little guide just under the street map to auto-walk yourself there (a section at a time).
