Shimlar Game Mechanics:
If you are just starting to play the game, this file would probably only confuse you.
It is realy not needed to understand this info.

Q: Where can I get gems?
A: Each zone has a max_gem variable. If it is above 0, you can get gems. Newbie zones and University are
only zones so far that DON'T drop gems.

Q: Where can I get Shadow Items?
A: In any zone with max_gem above **. Check the help site for details.

Q: What is the chance to get a drop? Why didn't I get a drop for xxx levels?
A: The chance to get a gem is around 0.003 after you kill a monster. The chance to get a Shadow item is
around 0.00025. However, it is totally random, and you can go 300 levels without finding anything or
get 5 gems within 10 minutes. Chalice of Luck increases the chances to 0.006 and 0.0005.

Q: How is chance to hit determined? What about spells?
A: Chance to hit is dependant on Dex and weapon mastery. Chance to cast relies on Wis and spell mastery.
100% mastery means double Dex or Wis. To be able to hit every time, you need to have your modified Dex
or Wis two times higher than that of the enemy. Monsters have 1% mastery.

Q: What about who attacks first?
A: Your modified stat (Dex or Wis) is checked against the highest enemy stat (Dex or Wis). Highest attacks first.
There is a small (20%) random involved too, so you need a bit higher than enemy to attack first. Masteries
don't affect attack order.

Q: What is monster Dex/Wis then?
A: Monsters have all stats equal. This means they have the same amount of life, Dex, Wis, Str and Ntl.

Q: So how much damage do I make?
A: Damage is dependant on your weapon/spell, enemy armor and your strength/intelligence.

Q: How do I know enemy armor/weapon/spell class?
A: You don't. Just try to fight the enemy and see if you can kill it.

Q: In which order gems work?
A: Right hand gem 1, left hand gem 1, armor g1, spell1 g1, spell2 g1, right hand g2, left hand g2, etc.

Q: Which hand attacks first?
A: The right hand.

Q: Can gems kill?
A: No.

Q: Can gems be removed from item?
A: Yes :) Check the manual.

Q: What is battle order?
A: 1.enemy gems 2. your gems 3. calculate chance to hit/cast 4. your accessory 5. enemy accessory 6. combat.

Q: What do masteries do exactly? How do I raise them?
A: Masteries affect chance to hit and chance to make critical damage. They are raised randomly after a successful
hit, and each 1% is harder to raise. Each race has certain maximal mastery values.

Q: How much gold can I carry?
A: (2^32)-1 gold in bank and same amount on hand. That is exactly 4294967295, or around 4 billion.

Q: What is max level? Max stats? Max damage?
A: Max stats and damage are theoretically 4294967295, however max level now is 65535, so max stats
would be 6550k. There is no limit to modified stats.

Q: Do Mystic Item effects come before or after gems?
A: Before gems.

Q: Are their "magic spots" ie places that have higher drop rates?
A: The Lair of Temptation zone, found at 5,4 in Demon Gate and level 200 to enter has a double chance to
     drop Shadow items, but only * gems are found there.
