**************************************************** 1 - Novice Tips **************************************************** 1.1 - Weapons and Armour **************************************************** One of the main things people are unclear about in LORD is how weapons and armour work. When you buy a weapon in King Arthur's Weapons, the weapon has a certain strength based on how much you paid for the weapon. The more you payed, the harder the weapon hits. Here is the weapon list, with costs- 1. Stick 200 2. Dagger 1,000 3. Short Sword 3,000 4. Long Sword 10,000 5. Huge Axe 30,000 6. Bone Cruncher 100,000 7. Twin Swords 150,000 8. Power Axe 200,000 9. Able's Sword 400,000 10. Wan's Weapon 1,000,000 11. Spear of Gold 4,000,000 12. Crystal Shard 10,000,000 13. Nira's Teeth 40,000,000 14. Blood Sword 100,000,000 15. Death Sword 400,000,000 If you decide to sell your weapon, you will get about half of the money you bought the weapon for. Armour works the same way, sort of. The more you spend, the less hit points you get taken away from you. ***************************************************** 1.2 Skill Classes ****************************************************** In the game, you are always interested in a certain skills. The skills have certain advantages and disadvantages. Here they are- Death Knight Skills- You are a member of the Death Knights, which can inflict twice as much damage as a regular warrior when you use your skills. To get the skills faster, pick 1 in the death knight dungeon on odd numbered days, and 2 on even numbered days Advantages - VERY POWERFUL Disadvantages - Takes a while to master, don't go to dungeon often. Mystical Skills - You were always interested in dabbling in the Mystical forces. Some skills are- Pinch real hard, Disappear, Heat Wave, Light Sheild, Shatter, and Mind Heal. To gain skills faster, this is the way to guess numbers. Guess 50, and then guess 25 either higher or lower (depending on what he says), then guess 12 more or less, then 6, then 3. That leaves you with 2 numbers. Now, instead of having a 1 percent chance to guess the number, you have a 50 percent chance of doing it. Advantages- More powerful than Death Knight at higher levels Disadvantages- Hard to kill people early in the game with the skills Theiving Skills- A member of the theives guild, you are sometimes hated because of your job. But remember, "Even theives have honor" Advantages- Quick to master, powerful, able to rob bank. Disadvantages- Not very powerful. ********************************************************** 1.3 The Forest and the Inn *********************************************************** The forest and inn are two of the most useful places in LORD. Here are the benefits of each- ********************************************************** 1.31 The Forest ********************************************************** Fairies- Bring you back to life, give you horses, and help you rob the bank! Hammer Stone- Increases attack strength Old Man- Increases charm, as well as money. Old Witch- Free hit point for a gem Gems- Purchase things at the Inn, get more Theiving skills Dark Cloak Tavern- Gamble, Learn about Colors, Learn about your enemies (hehehehe) and change your skills. ************************************************************ 1.32 The Inn ************************************************************ The Bartender- Buy elixers, attack enemies, change your name Seth Able- (one of the following) -One extra forest fight -Two extra forest fights -Three extra forest fights -Hit Points maxed out -One extra hit point -Extra charm point -Double Money in bank Flirting with Violet of Seth Able (depending on gender) You can gain exp. and possibly a spouse if you have over 100 charm when you ask them to marry you. It might not always be a smart idea to marry them, because when (YES, WHEN) they divorce you you'll only have 50 charm left. Engaging in conversation always makes you more popular, and that may help you build alliances. *********************************************************** 1.4 Advancing in Levels ********************************************************** Advancing in levels is perhaps the single most important thing in LORD. Advancing to level 12 enables you to (S)earch and fight The Red Dragon in the forest. Always question your master in Turgon's Training center. If he says you don't need _____ more exp. than you can challenge him and hopefully defeat him to advance a level. ************************************************************ 2.0 Expert Tips *********************************************************** 2.1 The "JENNIE" Code *********************************************************** When you begin the game, check and see if you are in "high spirits" If you are, you can do the "JENNIE" trick. Here is how to do this. Go straight into the forest, and, before you touch anything, type "JENNIE" and it will ask you to describe her. Here is what you can typ, and the results.... FOXY- one extra gem BABE- one extra forest fight SEXY- one extra user fight LADY- some gold (level x 1,000 gold pieces) DUNG- You are turned into a frog until you apologize.

FAIR- No effect STAR- No effect HOTT- Adds 15% more hit points ************************************************************ 2.2 Bugs and Tricks ************************************************************ -Don't change your name so often. It will sometimes lock up the BBS -Try pushing "S" from the entry to LORD game prompt. It will tell you a story written by Seth Able (VERY WEIRD) -When selecting a name at the bartender, try some of these and see what happens BARAK, SETH, SETH ABLE, TURGON, RED DRAGON, DRAGON, VIOLET, BARTENDER, CHANCE. -If you are a theif and have a fairy, press "2" in the bank to rob it ************************************************************ 3.0 IGM's ************************************************************* Always check the (O)ther Places from the main menu to see if you Sysop has installed any. They can be very helpful ************************************************************* 3.1 Sandtiger's Bar ************************************************************* Try gambling. You can win BIG money here. The old man in the corner is very powerful. (Black Market) To find out the codes, talk to Sandtiger, buy him an EverClear, and ask him about them. The Old Witch is great when you are mad with someone. ************************************************************* 3.2 Travel to Barak's House ************************************************************* A common IGM If you are level 3 or higher, try this- Walk in like you own the place, kick him in the shin. You will get Ultra Ale, which gives you 25% extra hit points. If you read Barak books, he gives you a gem Try cleaning out the basement. Try to agree with Barak's mother. You can earn exp. L. O. R.

By the way I don't promise any of these codes will work although to my knowledge they all do. LONG LIVE SETH ABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. Jennie Codes (The good, the bad, and the really messed up) Do these following codes when your spirit is high. First type in Jennie as soon as you get into the Forest. Then type in one of the following adjectives: Good; BABE ------- You get 1 more Forest fight SEXY ------- You get 1 more User fight FOXY ------ You get 1 gem LADY ------ You get some Gold FAIR ------- You get excited HOTT ------ You get energized NICE ------- Nothing happens of any worth STAR ------ Nothing happens of any worth BAD; UGLY ------ You get smacked down to 1 H.P. DUMB ----- Nothing really happens to you besides your character getting insulted The Really Messed Up; DUNG ------ You get turned into a frog! 2. The Usefulness of the Fairy (And you thought that they were just for horses) Before using any of these next codes you have to catch the fairy first. Fairy Heal; When you have a fairy and you are about to die in a fight, the fairy will come out and give some of your H.P. back to you. Fairies N' Robbing the bank (What did you think they did in there spare time,knit.); When you have a Fairy in your grasp bring it to the bank. Press number 2 to let it go. It will pick the lock for you. Tadda instant money. But one catch you must be a Thief. Fairies to fight; In order to fight in the L.O.R.D. Arena (which is in other places) you must bring a fairy to trade. 3. Misalliance (Stuff that just goes by its self because it don't belong any were else); Halloween story; Press the letter "S" at the first screen to get a story directly from the man, Seth Able. Old Lady Wants your gems (No this isn't a want add); In the forest when the Old Lady asks for a gem give it to her because she gives you an extra hit point for the gem. Save your money after you beat the dragon; All you have to do is go into the Dragon Palace (in Other Places) and put all your money in the Kings Treasury. Go beat the Dragon when you come back to the treasury all your money will still be there. Transvestites are sweeping L.O.R.D.; There are two ways to become the a different sex. Both happen at the temple in Dragon Palace. The first is if you light the orange candle you have a chance of switching. The second is praying for tranquillity. 4. General Tips to win at L.O.R.D.; 1. Always trade gems to the bartender for vitality, which in English means defense. 2. Always have your armor 1 level above your weapons. Remeber the best offense is a great defense. 3. Before you go up to the next level at Turgon's Warrior training see if there is any one you can kill who is one level lower then you because after you rise a level you will not be able to fight him. 4. You can only use your skills on a player that is higher then you and in the forest. 5. Thanks to: Seth Able for making LORD ,the coolest door game on the planet.
