歡迎來到 Veloren！ 此頁面介紹了遊戲的基礎知識，但如果您想進一步閱讀特定主題，則提供指向其他幾個頁面的連結
要開始遊戲，在標題界面你可以點擊單人遊戲按鈕在本地單人世界中遊戲，也可以輸入你在指定Veloren伺服器的賬號並點擊多人遊戲按鈕跟其他玩家一起在線遊戲。
要在多人伺服器進行遊戲，你需要創建一個賬號。對於官方默認的Veloren伺服器，可以在 [veloren.net/account/ 這裏] 創建一個賬號。
角色創建
歡迎來到角色創建界面！當前只展示藝術的選項。最終這個界面會擴展包含每個種族的傳說、所選武器的指引、以及每個種族起始狀態。目前來說，你選擇哪個種族不大重要。
當前Veloren中有六個可玩的種族： Humans，Orcs，Dwarves，Elves，Undead和Danari。其中Danari是唯一一個你不太熟悉的種族；他/她們是這個遊戲創造的特殊種族。
除了選擇你的種族之外，你還需要在這裏選擇你的起始武器。武器沒有種族限制，並且選擇起始武器不會將你鎖定在選擇的武器上；隨着遊戲進行你將會找到其他類型的武器並且可以切換到那些武器而不會受到懲罰。
你可以設置你的髮型和發色、膚色、眼部細節、眼睛顏色、以及--只對某些種族可用的--配飾。使用隨機按鈕（骰子圖標）可以隨機生成你的角色的外貌和名稱。
當你完成角色創建以後，輸入一個名稱，然後點擊創建。從列表中選中你的角色，點擊進入世界，然後你將進入遊戲世界。
第一步
你將進入世界裏面固定的一個城鎮。這是默認的世界並且對於你創建的每個角色來說都一樣。這是一個預先生成的世界；你也可以使用一個新的種子生成你自己的世界，但是這個過程需要花費很長的時間。
看看你的界面。在左下角你將看到你可以按F1來顯示按鍵綁定，看一看這個。在右下角，你將看到一些圖標和它們關聯的按鍵綁定。
P- 打開日記M- 打開地圖O- 打開社交菜單N- 打開設置B- 打開背包/儲物箱C- 打開製作菜單
你可以在設定中修改大部分的按鍵綁定。
移動遵循其他類似遊戲的習慣，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）。
儲物箱和物品
Main article: Items
按下B鍵來打開你的儲物箱。
儲物箱中的物品可以通過右鍵點擊來使用，這通常是將物品裝備到你的角色上、調換任何原來插槽中的道具，或者消耗物品，獲得物品的效果。
物品可以通過點擊並從儲物箱拖動到快捷欄來分配到快捷欄插槽上。快捷欄插槽可以通過拖動不同的物品到其上來實現重新分配。從快捷欄插槽中使用物品跟右鍵在儲物箱中點擊物品的效果相同。
注意：第一個快捷欄插槽保留用於武器能力，當你解鎖了它們之後，第二到第五個插槽也可以用於武器能力。
最左邊的儲物箱插槽是用於背包的，你可以進行背包製作。將物品放入背包可以增加你的儲物箱空間。丟棄一個背包也會丟棄背包中的物品。如果其他玩家撿起背包並裝備上，他們將獲得這些物品。
如果你的儲物箱變得雜亂或者被填滿，你可以通過拖放來重新排列物品，或者通過將它們拖出儲物箱窗口來丟棄。你丟棄的物品可以被重新撿回來，只要你還在物品附近。
有很多的物品可以收集，並且它們以工具、製作材料、道具和消耗品的形式出現。
道具可以被製作、搶奪或者交易。道具有不同的稀有度，這大致跟它們的品質相關。然而，等級內的道具通常都在數據上有權衡。請仔細閱讀！
跟技能一樣，道具是推進遊戲的兩種主要方式之一。如果你在戰鬥中感到艱難，請考慮獲取更加好的道具。
可消耗的物品是使用後會消耗掉的。它們有幾種形式，其中最顯著的就是食物和藥劑。食物在其持續時間內以一定的速率影響你，而藥劑會瞬間生效。
某些對象，例如蘋果和戰利品，可以進行交互來獲得一個物品。留意你的十字準線經過附近時高亮顯示的對象。
製作
Main article: Crafting
用C鍵可以打開製作菜單。你將看到一個可製作的物品的列表，其中的一些可能變灰色 -- 那表示你沒有足夠的材料或工具來製作它們。物品可以用從世界中搜集的或者敵人掉落的原料來製作。食物可以製作成更高效的食物，並且某些基礎的武器和盔甲也可以被製作。你可以在製作菜單左上角的搜索欄中搜索特定的配方。你也可以通過在搜索欄輸入input:加上物品的名稱來搜索使用某個特定物品的配方。
煙花只用於慶典；要負責任地點燃。
武器和戰鬥
Main article: Combat當你漫步於Veloren世界，你將遇到各種各樣的動物、怪物、NPCs，可能還有其他玩家。總的來說，掠食性的動物和怪物見到你就會對你發動攻擊，而溫順的生物和NPCs將忽視你，除非你主動攻擊他們。
每種武器都有一個左鍵點擊的基本攻擊和一個或多個右鍵點擊和快捷欄的技能。技能通常需要消耗耐力或其他資源。基本攻擊重新生成耐力。每種武器都有自己的遊戲風格，在某種意義上可以取代傳統的「職業」。
使用一種以上的武器，將其裝備到「副手」將極大地增加你的戰鬥選擇！按下Tab鍵可以切換到副手武器。
躲避敵人的攻擊非常重要。中鍵點擊將迅速地滾動閃避。在靠近或還擊時，使用側向移動以避免遠程攻擊。如果你對近戰攻擊者使用遠程武器，儘量保持距離。
使用訓練假人（在城鎮中發現）來熟悉武器的攻擊和能力。在你獲得更好的護甲和升級武器之前，儘量避開成群的敵人。
格擋
當裝備近戰武器時按住左Alt鍵，你將會使用你的武器格擋。開始格擋後將會消耗少量的能量，同時格擋期間也會在阻止能量再生，並且會減慢你的移動速率。
格擋可以降低任何從正面發起的近戰攻擊造成的損傷，而且如果你在攻擊擊中你之前的瞬間格擋，你將能夠閃避攻擊使其完全無效，在滾動戰鬥文本中也會顯示一條BLOCKED信息。
格擋不會影響遠程投射攻擊和魔法攻擊。你也必須面對近戰攻擊來進行格擋。
平衡
在戰鬥中，有一個無顯示的平衡狀態，並且會隨着戰鬥而變化。
平衡狀態從100%開始計算，受到攻擊會減少平衡，不同的攻擊類型減少的量有區別。如果某一次攻擊將平衡值降低到了一定範圍以下，玩家會受到一個根據攻擊的嚴重程度的減益效果，分別是（根據嚴重程度排列）中斷、震驚、茫然和擊倒。受到減益之後，平衡度會重置，且在此期間玩家將免疫平衡度傷害。
注意，你和敵人都會受到平衡度影響。不同的NPC可能會有不同的初始平衡值。請試着把握你的強力一擊並從中受益。
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.
