=Q Menu=
The Q menu is divided into several sections. Hold down Q or left-click the player to open this menu.


'''[[Viper]]'s [[Graal]] Issues.'''
The left column is divided into 3 sections. The top bar tells the player's level and current experience. The player's level will increase as the player gains more experience. Killing monsters, reading books, and identifying items are just some of the ways you can gain more experience.


Hello everyone, as of late, many people have been attacking me on the issues and matters, trying to lie about things, bend the truth, and downright spin to make me and others of my cause look bad, in this text document i will discuss and lay to rest the issues that matter.
The section beneath that shows the character's attributes. Move the mouse over an attribute icon to see the name of that attribute. Note that as your weight increases, your speed decreases. Don't carry too much stuff!


I have been involved [[Graal]] for over three years now, and i used to really like [[Graal]] and its admins alot, then slowly after about a year [[Graal]] and its admins went in a bad downward spiral, i still stuck with [[Graal]] in hopes [[Graal]] would pull itself out of this hole and [[Unixmad]] would go back to the right path, this however did not happen, instead [[Unixmad]] and even [[Stefan]] went fouler and lower than i could have imageined, First with fireing [[Pachuka]] and [[Fuitad]], two of the BEST [[Graal]] admins ever in my view for no other reason than disagreeing with his future plans, then if just fireing them was not bad enough, he threatend to sue them and kill they're families, this was so wrong and bad [[Fuitad]] even said he would punch [[Unixmad]] in the face for saying that if he met him in real life, but that was just the beginning of the downward spiral [[Unixmad]] foolishly invoked onto [[Graal]], he then blatantly STOLE a domain name [[Graal]].net from Owl Shimy which costed over 30$ US Dollars, and never gave it back to him and never paid him for the cost of the domain, he also threatend to sue Owl Shimy and kill his family although it was [[Unixmad]] which stole the domain from Owl Shimy, then around [[Graal]]1.3.1 he blocked off [[GServer]]s officially and threatend to sue anyone that ran the former [[GServer]]s, although they were released as "Freeware" and actually used to encourage people to use the [[GServer]]s, this was a blatant attempt to monopolise , threaten, and intemidate that players that actually helped [[Graal]] and supported him, he then made claims he copyrighted "[[Graal]]" and would contact so called "Lawres" about anyone that used the name "[[Graal]]" or had "[[Graal]] Files" on there websites, although [[Graal]] was distributed as "Freeware" or "Shareware" and had no official software copyrights related to it, and that the name "[[Graal]]" was actually the name of a holy sacred golden cup used in some religion, and in that he has commited blasphemy against whatever religion has the so called "Holy [[Graal]]", then later on [[Unixmad]] fired SuperNick, because of his country and his origion and called him an American Asian slut, this was the first sign of racism on the part of [[Unixmad]], towards [[Graal]]1.4.1 [[Unixmad]] was secretly unwrapping his sadistic plans, he then started claiming credit and claiming to own the copyrights to [[Graal]], although [[Unixmad]] has done nothing but host some stupid weak as servers, and yet [[Stefan]] Knorr has done all the real work for [[Graal]], and was the one to make ZeldaOnline , [[Graal]]Online in the first place and has written every bit of codeing for the [[Graal]] Client , [[GServer]], RC, ect, yet [[Unixmad]] the worthless pile of trash that he is steals all credit for [[Graal]], then in February 2001, [[Unixmad]] and Antago release [[Graal]]2001 and the start of the "Pay to Play" system, now i have no problem with the fact that it is pay to play, the issue is when you PAY for something you actually expect to get the worth while of your money in this product, but instead they got a shittily made level generated land that was 99% empty, the NPCs were and are laggy as hell, and there were no quests, and there is only two shitty things today for hearts that suck so much i refuse to even call them quests, and to add to that about 40% of everyone that paid and gave [[Unixmad]] there credit card number NEVER got the accounts they paid 27$ or more for, and those that did clearly got chumped out by a cheap peice of crap that aint worth paying for, it sucked so badly that most people played on [[Graal]] Classic still, even those that foolishly paid for pay to play accounts, and in an attempt to "FORCE" people to pay for a shitty product they do not want against they're will [[Unixmad]] hired "Tyhm" to deface and ruin [[Graal]]Classic in an attempt to make it buggier and less fun than even [[Graal]]2001, about this time i was disgusted with [[Unixmad]] and most of the other admins and decided to downright turn against [[Graal]] and for the most part stop playing the peice of crap in general. People starting getting angry, complaining, asking for help, and asking for refunds, of coarse [[Unixmad]] gave noone a cash refund, and simply deleted and banned "PAID ACCOUNTS" of those who complained, asked for help, or asked for a refund these are PAYING CUSTOMERS, they have the rights of basic service that they PAID for, [[Unixmad]] promises pay to play players a quality product and customer service, but instead gives them a grade F product and ripps off his customers and delete they're accounts that they PAID HIM money for, his excuse? Credit card fraud, when infact at least 90% of the people he bans for credit card fraud pay legitamately with there OWN credit cards or pay via paypal by check, and yet [[Unixmad]] has stolen and used others credit card numbers to buy things for himself on several occassions, he also claims he needs pay to play money to keep [[Graal]] alive and running, yet there has been evidence that he makes at least 90% profit out of the monies he gets, and that he uses illegal porn ad banners and illegal cookie style web tracking and giveing email adresses of the players and even phone numbers of every player to spam and telemarketting companies without there permission, he even keeps personal player info, includeing email, adress, and phone number on unsecure servers which have already been leaked out, such info about people should not be on a public webserver accessable to the internet in anyway, then after all that [[Unixmad]] starts banning african american people, asians, koreans, and or people with images of people of that race from the [[Graal]]2001 forums and [[Graal]] itself, yet again they are paying customers and this is another sickening act of racism on the part of [[Unixmad]] and [[Graal]]Online, and then even more disgusting is what [[Stefan]] posts on the [[Graal]]2001 forums, he makes several anti american, racist, pro terrorist, pro nazi, and pro taliban comments on that post and goes on and on several pages bashing americans, this post was offense, obcene, and disgusting to many people includeing myself . If all that does not make you sick to your stomache or dislike [[Unixmad]] yet, i am far from done, then [[Unixmad]] proceeds to illegally DDOS webservers of mafukie and make threats to him over the phone, and has phone assaulted me over 40 times a day between midnight and 5am, and has made threats to sue dozens of people, kill there families, and shut down innocent websites and servers, while hosting illegal stuff and doing illegal things himself with the use of his own wanadoo.fr servers, stuff which includes child porn, bestiality porn, DVD Piracy, DDOS Attacks, theft of copyrighted materials from gameing companies such as nintendo, Credit Card fraud, theft, spamming, phone harrassment, useage of illegal pirated corperate softwares, all this just to start the list of what [[Unixmad]]', [[Stefan]], and they're servers are doing 24/7 for nearly 4 years now , anyone that likes [[Unixmad]] or thinks he is a good person even after all this is clearly a fool, everything in this document is the truth and why i hate [[Unixmad]] so much, if you like [[Unixmad]] after all these sickening things he does, then you are no better than a KKK or Neo Nazi member and should go kill yourselfs, i do not tolerate facists, racists, or nazis, they are all bad people, and [[Unixmad]] is one of the worst of the worst, and no person with any morales could tolerate or support such a person like Stephane Portha or [[Stefan]] Knorr. The people that spin, lie and bend the truth in support of [[Unixmad]] will always exist, but i will always reveal the truth about [[Unixmad]], and EVERYTHING said in this document is true, despite what any assclowns try and say about this, and this supriseingly enough is only 1% of the bad things [[Unixmad]] has done, how some people even tolerate, none the less support such a bad person is beyond me... I fight against bad people like [[Unixmad]], why? Because unlike many others in this world i actually care about other people, and i will do everything in my power to stop [[Unixmad]] from hurting [[Graal]] or its innocent players, many say i want to destroy and kill [[Graal]], this is NOT true, i used to love [[Graal]], i only wish to stop [[Unixmad]]'s evil sadistic illegal actions and restore [[Graal]] to the great game it used to be when it was "for the players, by the players" , but if i have to destroy [[Graal]]Online in exchange to stop [[Unixmad]]'s tyranny, it will be regreteable, but sometimes some sacrifices have to be made for the greater good, lets just hope that [[Unixmad]] drops dead and that sacrifice never has to be made... I love [[Graal]] and lots of its players, and i wish to someday restore it to the grandness it once had, but bad people like [[Unixmad]] must be gotten rid of if that is to be achieved...
Third, we have the Skill/Experience section. Your character has six skill areas in which he or she may level up. The number on the left represents your level in that skill area, and the number on the right represents your current experience in that level. Individual skill areas follow the same rules as overall character level when leveling up. See "Experience" for more information.
 
The bottom section on the left side is the Resistances area. This lists your resistance to various kinds of attacks and spells. Move the mouse over each icon to see what it represents.
 
The top-right side of the Q menu is divided into 2 sections. The equipment section shows what items you have equipped, and what part of the body they are equipped to. The right-most section displays the name and statistics of the currently selected item.
 
The bottom-right section is your inventory. On the left side you see the main portion of your inventory. Here you may select, drag, wield, or apply your items.
 
On the right side you see the special inventory area. This is where you may view and manipulate the contents of containers such as the cauldron or sack.
 
To drop an item, drag it from the inventory to the ground outside of the Q menu.
 
Currently cannot drop items properly on the outside of ships.
 
=Stat Bars=
On the upper-right corner of the screen you see a graphic with four stat bars. These represent, from top to bottom:
 
==Health Bar (HP)==
Displays Current Health / Maximum Health
 
How much life you have left. When you hit 0, you die (Bad, bad idea!). Slowly refills over time. Leveling up in overall character level will increase your maximum HP.
 
==Spell Points (SP)==
Displays Current Spell Points / Maximum Spell Points
 
How many spell points (also known as mana) you have left. Slowly refills over time. Leveling up in Magic will increase your maximum SP.
 
==Grace==
Displays Current Grace / Maximum Grace
 
How much grace you have. You can refill grace by praying to your god. You need to have learned Piety before you are able to pray.
 
==Food==
Displays Food Level (up to 999 food)
 
How much food you have eaten. Slowly drains. You must eat food or other edible
items to refill. When it reaches zero, you start eating random items from your
inventory. When you have nothing left to eat, you die (Bad, bad idea).
 
=Quick-Launch Menu=
Below the stat bars, there are three buttons. Clicking on one of these buttons will open up its quick menu. On each menu you see a list of the skills, weapons, or spells that you have. You may double-click or middle-click on any icon to use/wield that skill/weapon/spell. You may also drag a spell icon to an object to use the spell on that object (if supported).
 
==Hotkeys==
Highlight an icon on any menu, then click the blank space to the right of it.  Press a number key, W, E, R, T, or C to assign that key to the icon. Then, pressing that key is the same as double-clicking the icon on the quick menu.
 
=Experience=
The player begins at level 1. Level 2 requires 2000 experience, level 3 requires 4000, and so on, with the necessary experience doubling each time (2000, 4000, 8000, etc).
 
If you are killed by monsters or by another player (outside of a spar arena), you will lose a certain amount of experience. If you lose enough experience, you may also drop to a lower character level.
 
=Advanced Movement and Transportation=
==Walking==
Walking is influenced by the character's weight and the terrain. The more weight you have in your inventory, the slower you walk. You also walk slowly going uphill.
 
==Swimming==
Swimming involves walking into the water, then pressing S to stroke while steering with arrow keys.
 
==Ships==
Ships are the only way to visit the kingdom islands! You may board a ship at a dock, from another ship, or if no one is on board you may swim onto the ship.  Walk to the captain's wheel and press A to take the controls. Hold S to accelerate the ship while steering with the arrow keys. Press A to leave the wheel. The person steering can say "setname shipname" where shipname is what he wants to name the ship!
 
You may also touch the mast and press A to climb to the crow's nest. While
up here you can use the arrow keys to look around. Press A to get down.
 
Touch a cannon and press A to fire an exploding cannonball.
 
Ships may be damaged in fights or wear out over time. If you're carrying
boards, walk to a wall of the ship and press A to repair it.
 
=Kingdoms=
You may see players with kingdom ranks and tags. The five kingdoms are:
 
# Forest
# Pirates (aka Crescent Pirates)
# Zormite
# Dustari
# Samurai (aka Bakugun)
 
To join a kingdom you have to ask the kingdom leader. PM a kingdom member
to find out who that is.
 
To travel to the kingdom isles, get on a ship and go to the edges of the
mainmap (the island with monsters on it). On the minimap, you see icons:
 
* Tree - Forest
* Fish - Zormite
* Sword - Dustari
* Skull/crossbones - Pirate
* Samurai hat - Samurai
 
Leave the map near these icons to travel to that kingdom's isles. From time to time you might hit the wrong spot and travel to a different kingdom. You can travel from one kingdom to another the same way. On the kingdom isle maps, a gold cup points the way back to the mainmap.
 
=Items and Food=
Items are usually pretty simple. Once you have one equipped (double-click to equip), press S to use it.
 
Food is a little different. To eat food, simply double-click it. You may eat bread, food (looks like meat), onions, potatoes, water, and many other things. Not all items are edible, and not all edible items are healthy!
 
Double-click containers to activate, open, or close them. A container that is opened will show an icon at the top of the "container" section of the Q menu. Use this on mailboxes, too.
 
To get more information on an item, right-click it. On the bottom-right of your screen you will see an item description, often including:
* Item name
* Effect of using the item (such as how much food it gives you)
* What the item is made of
* Weight
* Sell Price
* and other attributes.
 
Some items, like certain weapons, may be used in different ways. Use combinations of S, arrow keys, and D to discover other ways of using the item.
 
=Commands=
Commands must be typed into the chat bar with a / in front of them.
 
Type '''/help commands''' to discover many common commands.
 
Type '''/help (command)''' to find out information on a specific command.
 
The '''/save command''' is good for immediately backing up your progress, to make sure you don't lose items if the server messes up or you disconnect from
Graal.  Similar to /save is the automatic function of beds, docks, and dungeon doors:  when you enter a bed or a dungeon, or walk to the end of a dock, your restart position is saved (which means if you die, you start there instead of having to restart your character!).
 
=Fun Stuff=
* Use the shovel to dig on beaches, you might find a metris game. Equip it and press S to play. Use arrow keys to steer the bones, use S to rotate them. Press A to quit.
* Touch a palm tree and press A to climb to the top. You can look around as though you were on top of a ship's mast!
* Touch an upright, open, empty barrel and press A to climb inside and close it behind you! Press A to get out again.
 
=Frequently Asked Questions=
==How do I get ... seed?==
Craft a shovel and dig.
 
==How do I plant corn?==
Place the corn seed on the ground and double-click it. Be sure to water it every time it shows the water symbol.
 
==How do I plant trees?==
Place the tree seed on '''grass''' and double-click it.  No water necessary.
 
==How do I get more spell points?==
Use a spell to kill lots of creatures until you level up in Magic.

See above.
 
==Where do I get bomy skins?==
Kill bomies. Lots of bomies. The regular or evil ones.
 
==Will somebody give me food?==
'''NO'''. Food is something we all need (unless we worship Bile) and never get enough of. Ask individuals near you very nicely and you may get lucky, but please, don't PM. It's annoying. It helps if you're willing to pay/trade. If nothing else, go play with a water can for about 10 minutes or so and refill your foodbar by drinking a lot.

Q Menu

The Q menu is divided into several sections. Hold down Q or left-click the player to open this menu.

The left column is divided into 3 sections. The top bar tells the player's level and current experience. The player's level will increase as the player gains more experience. Killing monsters, reading books, and identifying items are just some of the ways you can gain more experience.

The section beneath that shows the character's attributes. Move the mouse over an attribute icon to see the name of that attribute. Note that as your weight increases, your speed decreases. Don't carry too much stuff!

Third, we have the Skill/Experience section. Your character has six skill areas in which he or she may level up. The number on the left represents your level in that skill area, and the number on the right represents your current experience in that level. Individual skill areas follow the same rules as overall character level when leveling up. See "Experience" for more information.

The bottom section on the left side is the Resistances area. This lists your resistance to various kinds of attacks and spells. Move the mouse over each icon to see what it represents.

The top-right side of the Q menu is divided into 2 sections. The equipment section shows what items you have equipped, and what part of the body they are equipped to. The right-most section displays the name and statistics of the currently selected item.

The bottom-right section is your inventory. On the left side you see the main portion of your inventory. Here you may select, drag, wield, or apply your items.

On the right side you see the special inventory area. This is where you may view and manipulate the contents of containers such as the cauldron or sack.

To drop an item, drag it from the inventory to the ground outside of the Q menu.

Currently cannot drop items properly on the outside of ships.

Stat Bars

On the upper-right corner of the screen you see a graphic with four stat bars. These represent, from top to bottom:

Health Bar (HP)

Displays Current Health / Maximum Health

How much life you have left. When you hit 0, you die (Bad, bad idea!). Slowly refills over time. Leveling up in overall character level will increase your maximum HP.

Spell Points (SP)

Displays Current Spell Points / Maximum Spell Points

How many spell points (also known as mana) you have left. Slowly refills over time. Leveling up in Magic will increase your maximum SP.

Grace

Displays Current Grace / Maximum Grace

How much grace you have. You can refill grace by praying to your god. You need to have learned Piety before you are able to pray.

Food

Displays Food Level (up to 999 food)

How much food you have eaten. Slowly drains. You must eat food or other edible items to refill. When it reaches zero, you start eating random items from your inventory. When you have nothing left to eat, you die (Bad, bad idea).

Quick-Launch Menu

Below the stat bars, there are three buttons. Clicking on one of these buttons will open up its quick menu. On each menu you see a list of the skills, weapons, or spells that you have. You may double-click or middle-click on any icon to use/wield that skill/weapon/spell. You may also drag a spell icon to an object to use the spell on that object (if supported).

Hotkeys

Highlight an icon on any menu, then click the blank space to the right of it. Press a number key, W, E, R, T, or C to assign that key to the icon. Then, pressing that key is the same as double-clicking the icon on the quick menu.

Experience

The player begins at level 1. Level 2 requires 2000 experience, level 3 requires 4000, and so on, with the necessary experience doubling each time (2000, 4000, 8000, etc).

If you are killed by monsters or by another player (outside of a spar arena), you will lose a certain amount of experience. If you lose enough experience, you may also drop to a lower character level.

Advanced Movement and Transportation

Walking

Walking is influenced by the character's weight and the terrain. The more weight you have in your inventory, the slower you walk. You also walk slowly going uphill.

Swimming

Swimming involves walking into the water, then pressing S to stroke while steering with arrow keys.

Ships

Ships are the only way to visit the kingdom islands! You may board a ship at a dock, from another ship, or if no one is on board you may swim onto the ship. Walk to the captain's wheel and press A to take the controls. Hold S to accelerate the ship while steering with the arrow keys. Press A to leave the wheel. The person steering can say "setname shipname" where shipname is what he wants to name the ship!

You may also touch the mast and press A to climb to the crow's nest. While up here you can use the arrow keys to look around. Press A to get down.

Touch a cannon and press A to fire an exploding cannonball.

Ships may be damaged in fights or wear out over time. If you're carrying boards, walk to a wall of the ship and press A to repair it.

Kingdoms

You may see players with kingdom ranks and tags. The five kingdoms are:

  1. Forest
  2. Pirates (aka Crescent Pirates)
  3. Zormite
  4. Dustari
  5. Samurai (aka Bakugun)

To join a kingdom you have to ask the kingdom leader. PM a kingdom member to find out who that is.

To travel to the kingdom isles, get on a ship and go to the edges of the mainmap (the island with monsters on it). On the minimap, you see icons:

  • Tree - Forest
  • Fish - Zormite
  • Sword - Dustari
  • Skull/crossbones - Pirate
  • Samurai hat - Samurai

Leave the map near these icons to travel to that kingdom's isles. From time to time you might hit the wrong spot and travel to a different kingdom. You can travel from one kingdom to another the same way. On the kingdom isle maps, a gold cup points the way back to the mainmap.

Items and Food

Items are usually pretty simple. Once you have one equipped (double-click to equip), press S to use it.

Food is a little different. To eat food, simply double-click it. You may eat bread, food (looks like meat), onions, potatoes, water, and many other things. Not all items are edible, and not all edible items are healthy!

Double-click containers to activate, open, or close them. A container that is opened will show an icon at the top of the "container" section of the Q menu. Use this on mailboxes, too.

To get more information on an item, right-click it. On the bottom-right of your screen you will see an item description, often including:

  • Item name
  • Effect of using the item (such as how much food it gives you)
  • What the item is made of
  • Weight
  • Sell Price
  • and other attributes.

Some items, like certain weapons, may be used in different ways. Use combinations of S, arrow keys, and D to discover other ways of using the item.

Commands

Commands must be typed into the chat bar with a / in front of them.

Type /help commands to discover many common commands.

Type /help (command) to find out information on a specific command.

The /save command is good for immediately backing up your progress, to make sure you don't lose items if the server messes up or you disconnect from Graal. Similar to /save is the automatic function of beds, docks, and dungeon doors: when you enter a bed or a dungeon, or walk to the end of a dock, your restart position is saved (which means if you die, you start there instead of having to restart your character!).

Fun Stuff

  • Use the shovel to dig on beaches, you might find a metris game. Equip it and press S to play. Use arrow keys to steer the bones, use S to rotate them. Press A to quit.
  • Touch a palm tree and press A to climb to the top. You can look around as though you were on top of a ship's mast!
