按下<code>B</code>键来打开你的储物箱。 |
|||
</div> |
|||
储物箱中的物品可以通过右键点击来使用，这通常是将物品装备到你的角色上、调换任何原来插槽中的道具，或者消耗物品，获得物品的效果。 |
|||
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> |
|||
Items in your inventory can be used by right-clicking them, which usually either equips it on your character, swapping with whatever gear was in its slot, or consumes the item, applying its effects. |
|||
</div> |
|||
物品可以通过点击并从储物箱拖动到快捷栏来分配到快捷栏插槽上。快捷栏插槽可以通过拖动不同的物品到其上来实现重新分配。从快捷栏插槽中使用物品跟右键在储物箱中点击物品的效果相同。 |
|||
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> |
|||
Items can be assigned to hotbar slots by clicking and dragging the item from the inventory to the hotbar. Hotbar slots can be reassigned by dragging a different item to it. Using an item from a hotbar slot has the same effect as right-clicking it from the inventory. |

|||
最左边的储物箱插槽是用于背包的，你可以进行背包制作。将物品放入背包可以增加你的储物箱空间。丢弃一个背包也会丢弃背包中的物品。如果其他玩家捡起背包并装备上，他们将获得这些物品。 |
|||
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> |

The leftmost inventory slots are for bags, which you can craft. Bags increase your inventory space by containing items. Tossing away a bag also tosses away the items within it; if another player picks that bag up and equips it, they will receive the items. |
|||
</div> |
|||
如果你的储物箱变得杂乱或者被填满，你可以通过拖放来重新排列物品，或者通过将它们拖出储物箱窗口来丢弃。你丢弃的物品可以被重新捡回来，只要你还在物品附近。 |
|||
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> |

You can open the crafting menu with the <code>C</code> key. You'll see a list of craftable items, some of which may be greyed out - that means you have insufficient materials or tools to craft them. Items can be crafted with materials either gathered from the world or dropped by enemies. Food items can be crafted into even more effective foods, and some basic weapons and armor can also be crafted. You can search for a specific recipe at the search bar in the top left corner of the crafting menu.

当你漫步于Veloren世界，你将遇到各种各样的动物、怪物、NPCs，可能还有其他玩家。总的来说，掠食性的动物和怪物见到你就会对你发动攻击，而温顺的生物和NPCs将忽视你，除非你主动攻击他们。 |
|||
As you wander the world of Veloren, you'll encounter all manner of animals, monsters, NPCs, and maybe even players. In general, predatory animals and monsters will attack you on sight, while docile creatures and NPCs will ignore you unless attacked. |

|||
每种武器都有一个左键点击的基本攻击和一个或多个右键点击和快捷栏的技能。技能通常需要消耗耐力或其他资源。基本攻击重新生成耐力。每种武器都有自己的游戏风格，在某种意义上可以取代传统的“职业”。 |
|||
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> |
|||
Each weapon has a left-click basic attack and one or more skills on right click and the hotbar. Skills usually use stamina or another resource; basic attacks regenerate stamina. Each weapon has its own playstyle, and serve to replace conventional 'classes,' in a sense. |
|||
</div> |
|||
使用一种以上的武器，将其装备到“副手”将极大地增加你的战斗选择！按下<code>Tab</code>键可以切换到副手武器。 |

格挡可以降低任何从正面发起的近战攻击造成的损伤，而且如果你在攻击击中你之前的瞬间格挡，你将能够闪避攻击使其完全无效，在滚动战斗文本中也会显示一条<code>BLOCKED</code>信息。 |

Poise starts at 100%, and attacks lower poise - different attacks lower it by different amounts. If an attack brings you under a certain threshold, depending on the severity of that attack, you will suffer one of the following status effects, in order of severity: Interrupted, Stunned, Dazed, and Knocked Down. Upon receiving one of these debuffs, your Poise resets to 100% and you become immune to Poise damage for the duration of it. |

欢迎来到 Veloren！ 此页面介绍了游戏的基础知识，但如果您想进一步阅读特定主题，则提供指向其他几个页面的链接
要开始游戏，在标题界面你可以点击单人游戏按钮在本地单人世界中游戏，也可以输入你在指定Veloren服务器的账号并点击多人游戏按钮跟其他玩家一起在线游戏。
要在多人服务器进行游戏，你需要创建一个账号。对于官方默认的Veloren服务器，可以在 [veloren.net/account/ 这里] 创建一个账号。
角色创建
欢迎来到角色创建界面！当前只展示艺术的选项。最终这个界面会扩展包含每个种族的传说、所选武器的指引、以及每个种族起始状态。目前来说，你选择哪个种族不大重要。
当前Veloren中有六个可玩的种族： Humans，Orcs，Dwarves，Elves，Undead和Danari。其中Danari是唯一一个你不太熟悉的种族；他/她们是这个游戏创造的特殊种族。
除了选择你的种族之外，你还需要在这里选择你的起始武器。武器没有种族限制，并且选择起始武器不会将你锁定在选择的武器上；随着游戏进行你将会找到其他类型的武器并且可以切换到那些武器而不会受到惩罚。
你可以设置你的发型和发色、肤色、眼部细节、眼睛颜色、以及--只对某些种族可用的--配饰。使用随机按钮（骰子图标）可以随机生成你的角色的外貌和名称。
当你完成角色创建以后，输入一个名称，然后点击创建。从列表中选中你的角色，点击进入世界，然后你将进入游戏世界。
第一步
你将进入世界里面固定的一个城镇。这是默认的世界并且对于你创建的每个角色来说都一样。这是一个预先生成的世界；你也可以使用一个新的种子生成你自己的世界，但是这个过程需要花费很长的时间。
看看你的界面。在左下角你将看到你可以按F1来显示按键绑定，看一看这个。在右下角，你将看到一些图标和它们关联的按键绑定。
P- 打开日记M- 打开地图O- 打开社交菜单N- 打开设置B- 打开背包/储物箱C- 打开制作菜单
你可以在设定中修改大部分的按键绑定。
移动遵循其他类似游戏的习惯，但是你需要知道如何拉出你的滑翔翼（Ctrl）以及如何攀爬垂直的表面（按住空格键）。
储物箱和物品
Main article: Items
按下B键来打开你的储物箱。
储物箱中的物品可以通过右键点击来使用，这通常是将物品装备到你的角色上、调换任何原来插槽中的道具，或者消耗物品，获得物品的效果。
物品可以通过点击并从储物箱拖动到快捷栏来分配到快捷栏插槽上。快捷栏插槽可以通过拖动不同的物品到其上来实现重新分配。从快捷栏插槽中使用物品跟右键在储物箱中点击物品的效果相同。
注意：第一个快捷栏插槽保留用于武器能力，当你解锁了它们之后，第二到第五个插槽也可以用于武器能力。
最左边的储物箱插槽是用于背包的，你可以进行背包制作。将物品放入背包可以增加你的储物箱空间。丢弃一个背包也会丢弃背包中的物品。如果其他玩家捡起背包并装备上，他们将获得这些物品。

Diary
By pressing the P key, you will open your Diary. This contains tabs for your Skill Trees, Abilities, and Stats.
Skill Tree & Skill Points
Skill points are the second main method of progression in Veloren.
As you defeat enemies, you will gain experience points in the skill trees of the weapons you wield (if they are unlocked). Additionally, no matter what, you will gain experience in the General Combat skill tree.
Use the skill points to unlock new skills and upgrade aspects of those skills. In the General Combat skill tree, you can upgrade core stats of your character, like health, roll speed, and the weapon skill trees themselves.
Weapons equipped either in your main hand or your off hand will receive experience points whenever you defeat something. Thus, it is best for you to find weapon types you like and unlock the skill trees in them before anything else.
You will also gain experience points specific to the Mining skill tree when using a pickaxe to mine ores.
Abilities
When you have unlocked abilities, they will be found here. From here, you can drag and drop listed abilities to any of the first five slots of your hotbar.
Stats
Additional stats that are not shown in the Inventory window, such as your Crit Power and Weapon Speed for example are shown here.
Taming
In the course of playing the game, you'll be able to craft Collars, which let you tame creatures. The current maximum number of creatures you can have tamed at once is three. You can only tame non-hostile creatures. Choose carefully!
Tamed creatures become pets, and will follow you around, attacking anything that attacks you. They can be healed with a healing sceptre, or by sitting near a campfire.
You can also ride your pets by mounting them with the F key. How fast they will travel depends of the type of creature, and you can also attack with your weapon & some of its skills while mounted.
Due to pathfinding issues, pets may have difficulty keeping up with you when you go off gliding or delve into dungeons. In the event that they get stuck following you, they will teleport to your side if you move far away from them.
Currently only Quadruped animals can be tamed pending further work on the pets feature (allowing larger animals to be tamed will require balance issues to be addressed).
Map
Access the map by pressing M. You'll see icons representing dungeons, towns, and other points of interest along with brown lines denoting roads. The difficulty level of a dungeon is represented by the number of dots that appear above the icon. Your current location is initially at the center of the screen, but the map can be shifted around by clicking and dragging. The mouse wheel zooms in and out. There is also a minimap seen in regular play at the top right.
Campfires
Campfires are interspersed across the world, marked by tall pillars of smoke. Approaching a campfire will show the message ‘Waypoint Saved’. When you die, you will respawn at the last campfire that saved your waypoint. Your waypoint persists through logins, so you can start each session approximately where you left off!
Sitting near a campfire with the K key will heal you over time. If you ever need respite from your travels, campfires are what you should look for!
Gliding
Getting a hang on gliders may cost you a few broken bones, but once you get a feel for it you may find yourself looking for any excuse to explore a high place.
Pre-flight
Pressing the Ctrl key will equip the glider. You can run around with it equipped, but you won’t be able to roll or draw your weapon at the same time.
You're going to need a steep slope or a cliff with enough vertical margin that you have time to redirect your fall into a glide. If you need to jump for some extra initial elevation it is recommended that you deploy the glider mid-jump, or else it will push against you on the way up. Another trick is to roll-jump for an extra initial boost.
Take-off
Once airborn, you probably want to let go of any movement keys, as you'll mainly control the glider by looking in the direction you want to orient it towards. The controls used for movement on the ground are used for quickly adjusting pitch and direction while gliding.
Gliding in Veloren uses a simulated model of aerodynamics; the only acceleration you get is from falling due to gravity, and your only control mechanism is angling the glider against the wind in a way such that the produced lift and drag pushes you in the desired direction. These forces scale with the square of airflow velocity relative to you, so gaining and maintaining speed is important.
Angle of attack
The angle of attack is your pitch relative to the direction of air flow. It's zero when the glider is perfectly aligned with the wind, positive when pitched up and negative when pitched down. By default (when there is no control input) the glider is slightly pitched up relative to the direction you're looking to make you glide most efficiently (in terms of distance) while looking straight into the wind.
You get the best performance out of small angles of attack, so pitch and swoop with smooth, minute movements. Pitching too much will cause you to stall; an effect which causes the lift produced to drop sharply, putting you at risk of losing too much speed due to drag with little ability to regain control.
Hints
- A controlled stall can be used to great effect for braking, but if you overdo it you may find yourself gliding backwards (or not at all).
- Look out for cliffs or steep inclines and pitch down to swoop into a glide.
- Lift scales linearly with angle of attack (for small angles), but the ("induced") drag scales exponentially. Balancing lift and drag is key to controlling your velocity, elevation and ultimately gliding distance.
Dungeons
Dungeons are marked on the map with a 'ruins' icon, along with a difficulty level. Dungeons with difficulties 0-3 are doable by a solo player; above that, you may want to find a group.
On entering the dungeon you’ll descend a long, spiral staircase that will eventually exit at the first dungeon level, deep below ground. Each level has a series of corridors and rooms containing hostile enemies and treasure chests. The most rare and powerful loot in the game can be obtained from dungeons!
Make sure you’re well stocked up on healing items before attempting your first dungeon. The only way out is up.
Caves
Caves are natural structures also marked on your map. Several resources, including Ores and Gems are most commonly found in caves. Inside, who knows what lurks? Are you prepared to plumb the depths, adventurer?
Merchants and Trading
What will you do with your newfound loot? Why, participate in the economy, of course!
In towns you may find a fancily-dressed NPC called a Merchant. To initiate a trade with a merchant or player, aim at them and press T, or press E and they'll send you a trade request!
The trade interface will show both parties' inventories and a trading window. Drag items into your offer space and the other party's items into theirs. The merchant will give feedback on the deal if it is not satisfactory. When everything is ready, click Accept.
Gold stacks can be split in half by pressing right click while dragging them. This is a temporary solution.
Item prices can fluctuate wildly between different places in the world. It depends on supply, demand, nearby resources, and a host of other factors. Knowledgeable players may be able to maximize their own profits.
Grouping Up
When playing in a multiplayer server, you may wish to team up with other players in order to conquer content without losing track of or hurting each other. The grouping function is your friend here. To invite other players to your group, press O to open the player list, click on the character you want to invite, and press Invite. Hovering over the character names will show you the player's account name.
Nearby group members appear as dots on your map. Group members also cannot damage each other (through conventional means). Experience gained by one member is split among the rest of the group as well.
Best Practices in Multiplayer
The servers make it possible for real players to interact with each other, making the experience and fun collaborative, thus making it more engaging and fun for everyone. However, it is important to preserve and take care of this interaction space, so that everyone can play in a healthy and respectful environment.
Socialization
The multiplayer mode allows us a unique gameplay experience, since you will not only play with NPCs, but also with other human beings like you!
However, it is important to create and encourage healthy spaces, so that everyone can have the most fun while playing. It is very important to maintain decorum and respect with everyone, both inside and outside the server chat rooms.
You must be respectful, patient, and polite to everyone, regardless of the moment. Remember that everyone is a real person with feelings, and can be hurt by a speech that could be avoided.
If any player has bothered you, or done something that you feel unpleasant about, don't rebut any speech and stay calm. To solve the problem, you can ask in the general chat if there are any administrators or moderators, and if any of them speak up, report the situation to them in a private chat. You can also ask for the discord username of this admin/mod to facilitate the exchange of information.
Remember that exposure creates a negative environment, and makes other players not want to play in this space. Therefore, even if the situation occurred in general chat, talk in a private place with someone responsible for the order of the server, to see together the best ways to address and resolve the situation.
Additional Hints for Beginners
Houses can contain useful items and equipment for you to pick up!
You might want to practice combat with small animals first; attacking denizens will get you killed quickly. Consider instead what help they may offer you in a time of need!
Once you have enough leather scraps you can craft yourself some initial armor. Look for Apples or Mushrooms and Twigs (common in moderate forests). Combine them in the crafting menu to get Apple/Mushroom Sticks which give superior healing.
Nighttime can make it easier to spot campfires. If you're alone in the night, light sources are likely indications of safety.
You may have noticed that you're able to crouch with Ctrl. This is more than just an animation! If a threat is in your path, consider sneaking around it. Once you use your weapon, though, the jig's up.
