In an MMORPG, including Warhammer Online, you will see other people around, the 'population' of the world. Some of them are your friends who explore the world and get rewards (Warhammer gold, XP) with you. Some of them are your enemies.
There are two main different classes of 'beings' on a server:
Players: also known as 'Player Characters' (PCs), which are controlled by other players like you. You can talk with them as you would do with a normal person in real life, and, if you are on a roleplaying server, you should interact with them as your character would do.
Non Player Characters: or NPCs, they are part of the world and they are programmed to interact with you in a specific way. So, even if you talk a lot with them, they usually won't reply. For newbie, your first easy quest is from NPC, so you have chance to get War gold and XP (War power leveling).
There are several kinds of Non Player Characters as well. They won't all react the same way to you. Some of them are friendly, and will help you in various ways. Players can get experience to finish your War power leveling when you have killed some NPC, such as bosses and monsters. You will notice them highlighted in blue. These kinds of NPCs may be merchants, trainers, soldiers of your faction or simply decoration for the area. You can tell the difference between the special NPCs by the symbols that appear over their heads. Some examples include:
Merchants: They have a bag of gold above their heads
Trainers: They have a bull's eye over their heads
Flight masters: These guys can provide you quick transportation all over the world's regions for a small amount of money. You can exercise your movement skills by making your character run, but for sure this will save you lots of time! Flight masters have their titles written under their names. In Warhammer, players allow kill monsters to complete War powerleveling wherever you are!
Healers: If your character is injured or falls ill during his adventures, a healer might help you, for a modest fee.
Quest characters: These are very important characters, when you talk with them, they will send you to perform tasks and missions with a reward upon completion. You will identify them by the book above their heads; if the star symbol appears in green colour, then that NPC has a quest for you. If you accept the quest, the book will turn yellow. After you have finished the task, the book will appear orange and that means that you can talk with him again to retrieve your reward, such as War items, equipments and XP (War power-leveling)!
Monsters: This term is usually applied to the hostile NPCs that will attack you when you get close to them. You will see them highlighted in red. There are several kind of monsters, and not all of them have to be monster-like. As a War player, you should prepare to fight at any time because of monsters are full of the world. It means that you have a lot of chance to get rewards including finish your War power leveling fast. If you move your mouse over a monster or click on it, you will see how powerful it is and can decide whether or not to fight it. Some of these monsters may be Champions, Heroes or Lords and this means that they are particularly powerful for their level. As you travel along the world, you will see several kinds of enemies and monsters and all your encounters will be recorded in the Tome of Knowledge, so you can keep track of your adventures.
Level up in War
After the completion of several quests and some exploration, you will see how your experience bar has been getting filled... then, in a memorable moment that will surely be recorded in history, with a flash of light you will reach level 2! Congratulations, you are well on the path to become a hero! Let's celebrate this moment of joy by going to the nearest area where friendly NPCs can be found. This is the moment to sell the extra stuff that you have looted from sparkling corpses , clean your inventory to gather some cash and go to the trainer (the character with the bull's eye on his head). Talking with the trainer will allow you to gain new powers and abilities that will become progressively more powerful as you climb your way up to level 40. The new skills will be placed automatically an icon on your quickbar, but remember that you can re-configure this to your needs and tastes. Of course, doing War power leveling is so bored and most of players are hope to buy War power leveling service. If you need this service, please come to Powerlevelstudio!
So, now you are a level 2 character, and it is time to play with the big guys. One thing that you may want to do is to join a scenario. Scenarios are closed RvR areas, where the players fight to get certain goals in a specific amount of time. The best way to explain how they work, is through action! Look at your minimap, and click the small round WAR symbol on the left of the map border. A window will open showing the available scenarios, and after you choose one, you will be asked to join the scenario. Are you ready? Then click, let the game teleport you in, and prepare yourself for the action...
