Character Creation
You can choose from four different races when you begin a new game of Questopia: High Elf, Human, Dwarf, and Dark Elf. The differences between the races are entirely cosmetic (or at least they are as of the writing of this walkthrough), so go with the look you like most. You can also give yourself a name or go with one that's randomly-generated.
The most important aspect of character creation is choosing the game's difficulty level. You have three choices: Normal, Hard, and Insane. As the levels suggest, there's a fair jump in challenge between the three. It's not a terrible idea to start with Normal and work your way up once you're more experienced.
Controls
Questopia keeps things fairly straightforward. Most of the game is controlled via a combination of mouse and arrow keys. Use the arrow keys to move and the mouse to change which direction your character is facing. Easy enough. You can also use the mouse buttons to attack, though there's an easier way of doing it.
Other buttons and commands you'll want to use include:
- The Space bar. Remember that notation on attacking? If you hit Space your character will attack automatically. There's no reason not to leave yourself on autofire the entire time.
- Q, E. These two letters allow you to use the spell or item placed in one of two hotkey positions, placed beside your health and your mana, respectively.
- Numbers 1 - 6. In your active inventory are six slots. Place an item in a slot and hit the corresponding button to use said item.
- Shift-click. Hold down the Shift key while clicking an expendable item and you'll use it automatically.
Experience and Leveling Up
There are two ways to earn experience in Questopia.
- The first is to kill monsters. Obvious.
- The second is to 'sacrifice' equipment in your passive inventory. Drop items other than potions into this area and you'll earn a certain amount of experience. The amount changes depending on the quality of the item.
Accumulate enough experience and your character will earn a level. An increase in level will earn you more health, more magic, and a small number of stat points which you can use to upgrade one of your six stats. These include:
- Attack. Determines the strength of your sword swings.
- Defense. Decreases the damage dealt by enemy attacks.
- Life. Your health, indicated by the red bar on the left side of the screen. Run out of life and you're dead.
- Speed. Determines the walking speed of your character.
- Dexterity. Determines the attack speed of your character.
- Magic. Used to cast spells. Each time you use a spell it eats up a bit of mana, indicated by the blue bar on the right side of the screen.
Though proper play will keep you alive, you also need to spend your stat points wisely. Fail to do so and your character will struggle to keep up with the bad guys.
