The [http://www.lusternia.com Lusternia] Nexus | The [http://www.lusternia.com Lusternia] HTML5 Nexus Web Client is often the first way that a new character is introduced to the world of Lusternia. It does require Java which can be downloaded at the [http://www.java.com Java homepage]. Some people, however, prefer to use an alternative client such as [http://www.mudlet.org/ Mudlet], [http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/mushclient.htm MUSHclient], [http://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/zmudinfo.htm zMUD], or [http://www.zuggsoft.com/index.php?p=cmud CMUD]. Please note other clients may be available to use, but you will need the telnet address ( lusternia.com ), the port ( 23 ), and possibly the IP ( 209.212.145.235 ) | ||
Once connected, you will be walked through the process of creating your character, choosing a home organisation, a guild, and a basic tutorial with the Fates before entering the main game area. | |||

You have the option of getting through this initial tutorial more quickly using SPEEDUP, but for newcomers it is not recommended. During this journey you will choose your adventurer's gender, age, race, and optionally a home city or commune and guild. Information can be found on each of the guilds, cities and communes can be found in-game in the help files, or here: [[Playerorgs]] | ||

== Navigating == | |||
When first starting out you will receive unlimited PORTALS, which will return you to a central hub for novices only. This central hub has exits to all the major cities and communes of the world. This is a convenient way of travelling and a safe area you can sit to read and learn more about the world without accidentally walking into trouble.

LANDMARKS on your MAP are especially handy because you can PATH WALK <location> until you learn the geography better. These landmarks are meant to aid you and only work when you are within a certain number of paces of the destination. As you travel you can look at LANDMARKS again as they will change as you navigate from one area to another.

Another beneficial early skill you can utilise is Teleport in Planar. It is the second skill after Survey and allows you to easily teleport to your city's/commune's nexus, the Aetherplex, Newton Caverns (great place to hunt and influence, more on that later!), and your Collegium. See more on this next! | |||

Each college consists of five tasks unique to each city or commune, but designed to give you an overview into the following subjects: History, Hunting, Planes and Planar Travel, Power, and Influencing. Checking your GUILD STATUS in the game will allow you to see what tasks you have left. If you complete all five tasks successfully you will graduate with honours (even after you graduate, if you complete the tasks left, you will be designated as graduating with honours!) | Each college consists of five tasks unique to each city or commune, but designed to give you an overview into the following subjects: History, Hunting, Planes and Planar Travel, Power, and Influencing.

As a college student your guild rank will be noted as COL, after graduating you are NOV for novice. At this point many guilds will require further tests to rise from NOV to Guild Rank 1 (GR1), and so on. You are still always free to use CGT <message> to ask questions any time, as well! | ||
