Special Ability FAQ
General
Purchasing Abilities:
In order to “purchase” special abilities, you will need experience
points. There is an ability trainer in each of the four/five main cities. To see what abilities are available to you, walk up to
the NPC trainer and say “vendor train”. He will check your Race,
Class and other such things and then will present you with a list of abilities
that you are able to purchase. There is a button to the right of each
ability listed. Pressing that button will bring up the details on that
particular ability. It will display its cost, the ability type, and a
short description of the ability. Clicking ok at the bottom will purchase
the ability, clicking cancel will take you back to the ability menu.
Using Abilities:
Currently, the only way to use abilities is via the dot command .ability.
Invoking the command with nothing after it will pop up a list of the
abilities that you currently have and that are manually usable. Just click
the button next to the ability and it will use it. You can also launch of
an ability with .ability abilityname. Where abilityname is the short
internal name of the ability ( see the ability below for each abilities command
name ). This will allow you to setup macros for them if you wish. I
will shortly begin work on my QuickBar idea to put in an alternate and easier
way of firing off abilities.
Combat abilities are handled slightly differently. Combat abilities are
auto. They will “fire off” automatically during combat so long as the
abilities requirements are met and so long as you have the Stamina or Mana
required to use it. Please Note: Soon there will be a .combatoptions
command that will allow you to setup whether or not you want them to fire off
automatically or manually.
