Hello and welcome to Medievia, Adventurer!

Whether you are new and wondering what's next or experienced and trying to remember where to go, then this is the guide for you. One of the most fun things in Medievia is the adventure of finding new equipment, so we've designed this almanac to guide you through some of our best low-level equipment zones to get you geared up and ready to explore and level. This isn't an all-inclusive list, and you will find other cool items and zones along the way. We encourage you to explore, make friends, talk to Avatars, and most of all find an adventure that's fun for you!

Table of Contents:

 "look one" for levels 10-14
 "look two" for levels 15-20
 "look three" for levels 21-26

A few tips: Remember to buy lots of potions from Lumond's Haven to protect you before killing things, and to heal yourself afterwards. Use the CONSIDER command before attacking creatures. WIMPY may be useful; see help WIMPY. If a zone or mob seems too hard, you can always come back later, try a different zone, or bring along friends to try again.

This almanac covers equipment. For ideas on zones to explore, use EXPLORE S, and read help EXPLORE for more details on the Exploration system. See help SUGGESTED for a list of good experience zones for your level.

Good luck and have fun adventuring! - The Gods and Avatars of Medievia
