Another one that took me a while to figure out. On the map you can find out who is who in your party by hovering over their dot.

holy shit, one I didn't know! :shock:
also I'm gonna add lots of your suggestions. Don't worry SuicideGirl, I finally looked at the server message that said that and tried it after ohhhh about 8 months :P

Also, I used the block ratio spear spinning skill and let about 5 monsters at once wail on me for about 50 hits without a single block. I don't think it really blocks cuz I've never seen it happen ever.

If the person nukes between 7000-9000 dmg on a nuke, and you have a higher parry ratio, you are more likely to take damage near 7000 as apposed to 9000.


Most ppl think it changes the odds of hitting but it really slides the damage scale up as a whole. I proved that after a loooong test of seeing what my range was then using a trigger scroll and seeing what the range of hits was. Basically in your example (it it was an attacking example) I hit over 9000 with the scroll and never hit under 7500 after using it. And of course, I watched a bot constantly get hit for 250 by a giant. Then I hit em with enough vital spots to reduce to PR to basically nothing and the giant hit them fore 490-500's and they died :D those were way out of the range of possible hits

Ghost spear, nukes... and other skill that can attack simultaneously. Your lightning nuke, for example, can only damage the npc thief u targeted even if thieves stay close together.

Of course, if u are never thief, u'll have no experience how thief works :wink:

I heard they fixed that lol. Who cares bots never remove it, they just die and drop their SOS items that they got from monsters lol :D bot killing is fun.
And I FINALLY figured it out since nobody said it. AOE != Age of Empire, in fact AOE = area of effect. In other words, multi-target attacks.

I just know I'm not gonna get ppl admitting that they didn't know anything here so just don't be a dumbass and post "I already knew all that, you're dumb!"

1. if someone's spamming you, go into the game options and disable whispering. They'll get all confused. Also u can disable other stuff like party invites.

2. turn shadows completely off, 99% of computer can't render them without lagging, even ones with 8 series Nvidia cards

3. Vital spot can be used against someone by holding alt without turning pink, which is a great way to kill bots

4. you can move around and run in circles like a crazy person using the arrow keys :D and apparently press enter to keep running straight

5. you can get hit by a nuke for any amount of damage and not die with any fire wall skill on at any lvl. Ice wall can stop even giants from damaging you AT ALL.

6. parry ratio actually lowers damage you take and attack rating actually increases it. BR on weapons and in the spear spinning skill prevent your attacks from being blocked by a shield. Crit on shields prevent U from getting critically hit

7. fire pure int bowmen train the fastest out of any type of character

8. if you press e you can join global parties or register yours as a global party. Also, they're more than 1 page to it (just learned that multi-page thing yesterday lol)

9. guild store items are tradeable

10. lucky tablets existed at one time (shut up, disagreers, I saw one and so did several ppl)

11. you can go past the bounds of your stall by putting all @'s in the "stall manager's remarks" area

12. There's two secret ways to sneak out of DW: by climbing the mountain on the north side of the east gate, and by squeezing through between the wall and mountain directly south of the west gate

13. you can use the targetting healing and curing spells on yourself

14. Joymax is owned by Yahoo Korea, which also owns a company that made Maplesoft, a nearly identical 2D game that's still around

15. there's a huuuuuuuge deer head on top of the potion shop in DW :P

16. using any elemental imbue increases the damage of nukes, not just weapon hits. Using the lightning one with the lightning nuke can supposedly hit 9 targerts at one.

17. you can auto-pot by pressing T and slide the sliders to any way you want. You can also only use MP pots and set the HP quickslot to use on a quickslot with self heal (but then ppl think you're a bot)

18. The GMs hate everyone

19. you can always stop the logout countdown by pressing the esc key

20. you can re-equip a job item before the 10 minutes is up by using a return scroll, or any other teleport

21. if one wolf is dead, you can summon another one :D

22. if you hold z, you can view the names all items on the ground around you

23. If you hover over a party member on the map, it says who they are.

24. if a guild war is tied, it will go to sudden death without notifying you. First kill of anyone in the other guild of any level wins

25. I think this was only recently added in an update but if someone's too far away for you to see their name, you can mouse over them and their name will appear.

Well hopefully some of you who have been playing forever and not knows some of that now know it. I bet at least half the ppl reading here didn't know #1 and #4 and #12. Oh and I'll add more as I think of them cuz I know I had more in mind but I can't remember


Good intial guide :D STICKY!

well yeah, the shapes are obvious. The joymax ones aren't that great actually compared to really good ones. Check out this article about how much professional OCR sucks
http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/19/0028209

and this one about a form of captcha that's completely impossible to solve. Btw check out the easy to solve ones at the begininng. It even like 10% wrong which is pretty bad.

Btw, you can run in cirlces by simply clicking in the horizon (to run straight and non stop) and then only press the left or right arrow key while running.

Additional thing u should know :

when u are a murderer
- killing a blue monster will reduce 1 murder point
- killing a green monster will reduce 3 murder points
- killing a white monster will reduce 5 murder points
- killing a orange monster will reduce 7 murder points
- killing a red monster will reduce 9 murder points
- being killed by player will lose 2% exp and 20 sexp and 200 murder points
- being killed by monster will lose 4% exp and 20 sexp (i think) and 400 murder points
- dying by losing HP over time will lose 4% exp and 20 sexp and 400 murder points
- u have 15 PK max, each time u kill a person u gain 1 PK (depending on lvl); and when it's 15/15 u cant kill anymore; but if someone kills u, u lose 1 PK => 14/15 PK so u can continue to kill.

when u are doing job
- being killed by the job adverse will lose as much exp as the exp gaining by killing 2.5 monsters same lvl as yours i.e (base exp * 2.5) and an amount of job exp
- killing blue npc thief or red npc thief... no matter the lvl will give the same amount of job exp (is a fixed number)

oh and I'm not too sure about that unless it was changed recently. I couldda sworn I get 93 for a noob thief NPC and 120 something for a super high lvl thief NPC
