Strategy Hints

• The higher your AC is the less often monsters will hit you.
• When you start into a new zone wait and see if any monsters are charging you before you go out and pick a fight.
• Run from a fight as soon as you think you may lose.
• Test unknown scrolls when the zone is nearly cleared of monsters.
• Use mountain creating scrolls to help give you a better view of the zone.
• Always wait until you have several unknown potions before testing potions. If the first one is bad, use another potion to remove the first potions effect.
• You only heal when not in combat. If you have a monster targeted you are considered in combat.
• If you are connected to the internet when you play your high scores will be saved on the global high score web site.
