<big>'''Ryzom Benutzerhandbuch Rev.3''' '''Caution''': EN version has been updated</big>

</div></noinclude>

Das Spiel selbst ist ein sogenanntes Sandkastenspiel; du kannst im Sandkasten alles tun, was du willst, innerhalb der Grenzen! Im Gegensatz zu anderen MMORPGs gibt es keine gezielte Handlung, der du folgen musst, keine vorgeschriebenen Aktivitäten, die du in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge ausführen musst. Jeder Charakter kann jede Fertigkeit vollbringen und überall hingehen, wohin du willst. Wenn du Ryzom öffnest, öffnest du ein Fenster voller Abenteuer. Wenn du Ryzom spielst, spielst du mit dem Gefühl der Freiheit. Wenn du Ryzom erlernst, erwirbst du zwischenmenschliche Fähigkeiten, die du für immer behalten kannst. Es gibt keinen endgültigen Endsieg, um das Spiel zu beenden. Ryzom endet nie.

* [[:en:New2017|In den 2017 Patches]] wurden viele neue Sachen hinzugefügt (neuer Chat, besseres Inventar, neues ''"Plünder-Sperr-System"'', [https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/26321/7 szenografischer Editor].....). Schaue [[New2017| hier, was es Neues gab, mit Verknüpfungen zum Forum]]].

Wenn man in diesem Reiter tippt, kann man allerdings nur mit dem UMGEBUNGs-Kanal kommunizieren.  

Der UMGEBUNGs-Kanal ist für das aktuelle Gebiet des Avatars, mit einem Radius von etwa 25 Metern.  

Der GILDE-Kanal erscheint, wenn dein Avatar Mitglied einer Gilde ist.  

In diesem Kanal wird mit anderen Mitgliedern dieser Gilde kommuniziert.  

Andere Registerkarten als BENUTZER können durch Rechtsklick in Fenster aufgeteilt werden, und welche Nachrichten auf der Registerkarte BENUTZER angezeigt werden, kann durch Rechtsklick auf die Registerkarte gesteuert werden.

Ein sehr nützliches Chat-Fenster ist die Registerkarte SYSTEM. INFO.  

Es kann vorkommen, dass Du z. B. F eingeben, um das Fenster "Freunde" zu öffnen, aber es wird nicht angezeigt.  

Wenn Du einen Desktop-Befehl nicht ausführen können, weil Du in einem Chat-Fenster feststeckst, verzweifle nicht! Du kannst ganz einfach wieder auf den Desktop zurückkehren:

|style="font-size:smaller;" |Animals

Notice that Animals is buried under Communications in the WINDOWS tab, and the word Actions is used in two locations, as a header and as a window name.  

The Game Configuration window contains many important settings for the game.  

Each setting should be evaluated at first startup to adjust for the computer's capability; particularly the global opacity setting and screen resolution.

====Identität====

[[File:Identity.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Identity]]

The Identity window contains four tabs.  

*STATS shows the avatar's race and guild, scores, characteristics, skill points, resistances and protections, defence levels (active is green) and miscellaneous.  

*The ADVANCED STATS show where you have been and what points you have earned.  

*The OCCUPATIONS window may need to be refreshed.

: It displays any occupations that you have learned and the question mark reveals important information about all the occupations.  

*The INFO tab is important for selecting a new title--that is shown over your avatar's head.

====Inventar====

When clicking the second icon on the Task bar WINDOWS tab, an inventory window will appear.  

The basic window has two tabs, BAG and EQUIP.

Bag is everything that you carry, while EQUIP is the jewellery and armour that you are wearing.  

If you buy a mektoub mount and packer, they will appear in their own tabs as MOUNT1 and PACK2.  

Also, if you have joined a guild that has an outpost, and you are near that outpost, a new tab will appear in the inventory.  

That will be GUILD and contain all the contents of the guild hall.  

You will also see the Guild tab when you are in the guildhall.

<!--added by Zorroargh -->

In the same way, that will be ROOM with all the contents of your apartment, seen when in it ([[#Apartment|see below]]).

<!-- End of addition-->

<div style="overflow: hidden">

[[File:Filling.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Filling bag]]

Beneath the tabs are small numbers.  

The first indicates the number of items that can be carried, for example 10/500.  

This is 10 items of a possible 500.  

Next to that is a status bar that indicates the bulk that can be carried.  

Right-clicking on that bar will look like Bulk: 99/300; or, look in the IDENTITY window under the MISCELLANEOUS heading to see that same value.  

Finally, the weight value is displayed next to a small weight symbol, for example 22.26.  

Armor and jewelry that are worn and weapons in-hand still affect the count, bulk, and weight in the bag.  

<div style="overflow: hidden">

[[File:Dappers_Filter.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Dappers & filters]]

At the bottom of the inventory window is a small green sap drop.  

This is the number of dappers (money) that you possess.  

Further along the bottom are various toggling view filters, and the detailed and compact item views.

If you do not wish to lose your items accidentally, by destroying or trading them, select the right-click Lock/Unlock functions.

It is recommended that you keep your most precious items, armour, and weapons locked.

New: text search in inventory, and group to move and ware armor easily ([[New2017|fast resume of 2 patches, links to forum]]).

<div style="overflow: hidden">

====Aktionen/Fertigkeiten====

[[File:Actions.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Actions]]

The ACTION PROGRESSION window contains essential information on the avatar's skill levels in all of the available skill sets.  

On the left are the four fundamental areas of endeavour in a skill tree: Fight, Magic, Craft, and Harvest.  

These will expand further and further by clicking the + symbols, or collapse by clicking the – symbol.  

In the lower left corner of the window is the Auto Fold option, that will collapse any skill branches that you are not viewing.

The right side of the ACTION PROGRESSION window contains two tabs, Actions and Upgrades.  

When a branch of the skill tree is selected, the appropriate Actions or Upgrades for that level are displayed.

The coloured icons are the actions that you already own, whether they were purchased in that skill branch or another one.

The greyed icons are not owned yet, but may be purchased from the appropriate trainer once you reach the indicated skill level.  

Upgrades are not Actions, but other things such as increased Constitution that are also available from the trainers.

By selecting higher skill levels, actions available in the future will be displayed.  

A click box in the lower right allows the display as a Detailed List.

[[File:Missions.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Missions]]

The MISSIONS window contains all current and finished missions.  

Right-clicking will give the common options plus toggle Title Bar On/Off.  

A drop-down list at the top of the window allows for selection of an individual mission to display.  

A small button in the top right allows you to select an expanded list.  

That mission will display according to window size, so resizing may be necessary to get the full text to display.  

The button Abandon will remove the mission irreversibly.  

Be careful, because some missions cannot be retaken!

After a mission is completed, a check-mark will appear in the mission icon.  

The Abandon button will now have changed to Finished.  

Clicking that button will remove the finished mission from the MISSIONS window completely.  

If that particular mission had a monetary reward, the dappers will be added to your inventory immediately.

The Abandon button is unavailable on Silan.

[[File:Maps.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Maps]]

Map is a re-sizable window that will display a map of the area you are in.  

At the top are a +, zoom in, and a -, zoom out.  

When zooming in all the way, the cities and towns may be clicked to enlarge them to the street level.  

To return from a city map to an area map, click the left arrow at the top of the MAP window.  

The triangle symbol is a button to center your location on the map. Additionally, the time and weather are displayed on the top line.  

This is quite helpful when foraging.

<div style="overflow: hidden">

===APP-ZONE===

The webapps bar is a handy access to many useful functions and avatar information.  

The achievements, craft recipes, forums, Ryzom lore, email, and many other informative windows are here.  

Importantly, many very useful applications and even a little game are found inside.  

An alternate access to these functions is with SHIFT+W.  

The bar can be removed from your interface via a command inside the webapps window if you don't want it.

More on [[Webapps main|Webapps]].

===Aktionsleiste===

[[File:Actions_Bar.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Actions Bar]]

As learned above, the ACTION PROGRESSION window is very helpful, but has another important use.  

When learning actions from trainers, icons are plopped all over the 10 Actions Bars (sometimes called the Shortcut Bar).  

In order to organize the Actions Bars, players may delete actions by using right-click Delete Action and accidentally delete a needed action.  

To recover any learned action merely open the ACTION PROGRESSION window and then drag the lit icon to any empty cell on the Actions Bar.

[[File:Actions_Upgrades.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Windows>Action&...>ACTION#2]]

[[File:Crystallize.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Crystallize]]

A red X on an icon indicates that the avatar is out-of-range of the target.  

Moving closer will cause it to disappear and make the action active.  

When right-clicking on a spell, you may see an option to Crystallize.  

This is for enchanting weapons.

A spell may be crystallized and added to your inventory (not all spells can be crystallized).

You can make a second copy of the Actions Bar by Task-bar>System...>Windows>Action&Inventory>ACTION#2.  

This second copy cannot be changed, but will mimic the original Actions Bar 1.  

It can be moved to any location on the screen.  

It can be time-saving, for example, to have fight actions open on the main bar while the heal actions are open on bar #2.

==Actions and Upgrades==

[[File:Quarter.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Quarter]]

That message will either say Loot for a primitive or Quarter for a MOB.  

Individual items may be selected by clicking each item with the mouse, then selecting Drop&nbsp;All.

After starting an extraction, a forage window will appear on the desktop.  

It will show the item foraged, and the quantity and quality of that item.  

Drop&nbsp;All may be selected at any time to abort the extraction.

These windows may appear at other times as well, such as when an NPC offers you a reward.

Small warning icons will appear on the screen to alert you of any spell, catalyzer, or death penalty that affects you.

A larger skull & crossbones image will appear if an owned mektoub dies.

When entering the area of a disputed outpost, a window will briefly open to alert the player to this situation.

The player will either pick ATTACK, DEFEND, or NEUTRAL.

Neutral observers cannot be attacked and cannot heal during battle.  

They must stay as neutral observers and may be asked to move if they affect things.

==Missions==

For example, a sword put up for sale in Pyr (Desert) is not available for players to purchase in Yrkranis (Forest).

They must go into the gate after you, (by issuing the “follow me” command).

Unfortunately, you must run back to the ranger camp, as there is no TP back.

You will not be able to buy all teleport pacts to start with.  

Ask for help with a /tell to friends or by a message in the REGION channel (specify where you are and how much time you have left).  

If there is no one in the region (use /who) then it is acceptable to ask in UNIVERSE channel.

Otherwise, you can chose your respawn location on the map that pops up or you can use a teleport pact in your inventory to select an altar.  

At this point you will have a death penalty.  

This keeps you from accumulating xp for your actions. Instead the xp goes to work off your dp.  

At lower levels dp is very easy to work off.  

At higher levels most players work it off by harvesting, which gives decent xp with a low danger of getting yet more dp.  

Altars offer purchases of the Breath of Ma-Duk or Kiss of Jena which increase the decay of dp over time.

<center>'''Going Offline'''</center>

If you have to leave the computer, but you don't want to be attacked, go to a safe spot such as near a wall or in the water.  

Then type /afk in the message line.  

You will go into suspended animation and sparks will surround you until you return.  

If you wish to leave more details, just type /afk Dummy has to go to the bathroom.  

Anyone who does a "/tell Dummy Hi" will receive the message.

The default extraction action in forage should be the first leftmost icon in the action bar.  

If you have multiple forage/extraction actions, the double-click will activate only the leftmost icon.  

You probably want to set your default defensive move to Dodge while foraging.

Many players organize their action bars by activity, such as all fight icons on #1, all magic on #2, all craft on #3, all forage on #4, etc.  

This arrangement can be changed at any time via cut and paste operations on the icons.

Foraging is best done with a partner.  

Occasionally you are killed while harvesting, so a partner can rez  you.

Later on, one person can extract whilst the other does actions to increase stability and source life (care-planning).

Then the node will give more materials and it will prevent unfortunate dying.

When you find a mat, or sometimes several in one close area, it is a good idea to use the map to mark that location.

Later, you can right-click the little flag and set that in your compass.

Picks break frequently (approximately every 5500 mats) don't get caught without a spare! Picks may be found at the tool merchant, the official race merchant,

or obtained from other high-level player/avatars.

Digging better materials of the best q you can will result in the gain of more forage experience points per material harvested.

==Crafting==

Craft in as little light armour as possible.  

When you reach a new x10 level (i.e. 20, 30, 40, 50, etc.) you will be able to buy up the next level in that craft line.  

The first thing you should do is edit that action to include the HP, Stam, Sap, or Focus boost attributes that you have gained, so they will be included in all your products.

Sell, destroy or exchange your low q items before crafting.

It is suggested that you sell your crafted items to the merchant or to other players to accumulate dappers.

Money is always good, no matter how little it seems.

Crafting in the game of Ryzom can be quite complicated.  

For example, an inherently slower weapon (e.g. a weapon that has a relatively low maximum possible speed value), if made well and with the right materials, can be faster than an inherently faster weapon made with mediocre materials.  

Each weapon has a maximum and minimum possible speed, damage, durability, dodge, parry, etc.  

From these values and a little guess work, one can estimate what an item's attribute will be post-craft knowing the pre-craft values shown in the crafting window.

To vary the component materials in a craft recipe, add a material to the plan, then click on it again.  

After a product is produced, add your logo.

Then right-click your crafted item and select WRITE.

write box. (This should be done only for exceptional results – it's your fame on the line.)

===Racial Plans===

When you start your avatar on Silan, it has plans of its own race.  

The materials there will craft any item for any avatar.  

On the mainland, however, your race plan needs the local materials if they are higher than fine or basic.  

For example to make a matis medium quality sword from choice or higher materials, forest materials must be used.

The only exceptions are materials foraged from the prime roots that can be used for any race craft.

Armour is crafted as LA, MA, or HA.  

It is usually provided to another player as a full set of armor that are color, quality, and level matched.  

Therefore, the crafter should obtain all the plans for a suit of armor.  

For weapons, pick a single weapon such as 2h sword, 2h axe, or 2h pike and get very good at that one thing.  

Specialize! High q items with good stats will be most desirable and sell the best.

Jewellery is crafted in sets of 6 pieces and combine protections against the 7 types of elemental damage, along with resistances to a spell against you.  

Since jewellery has no malus, every player wears full sets of jewelry, magically boosted with the desired trait, for example, foragers need focus-boosted jewels.

The art of jewellery is to craft combinations that sum their effects to the benefit of the avatar.

As the crafter progresses in skill, they can purchase medium quality, high quality, and finally specialized designs such as the fiery Fryos swords as first seen on Silan.  

<div style="overflow: hidden">

[[File:RestorationSpecialists.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Restoration Specialists]]

The weapon must then be charged with Sap, accomplished via the Sap Recharge spell, learned from the magic trainer.

Alternatively, one can purchase Sap Crystals from special national merchants and use them to recharge the weapon by right-clicking on them and choosing Recharge Right Hand.

===Grinding===

Grinding involves the mass crafting of items with the goal of raising your skill level.  

The finished products are either sold to merchants or sold to others or destroyed (not recommended).  

At the appropriate merchant, check what other RESALE items of your type are listed.  

When you sell your item, adjust the percentage at the top of the SELL screen to get the price you want for your labor and time.

Usually you will sell your degraded items directly to the merchant and list only the normal items (i.e. multiples of 10) for sale to others.  

Keep an eye out for bargains in the RESALE tab as well; it's good business.

[[Crafting|More on crafting]].

To raise the skill level in fighting or magic, it is wise to practice.  

Fighting weaker MOBs results in -200 xp per level below your own.  

Small enemies do not give any experience points and are a nuisance.  

Hunting named creatures and bosses is generally performed in groups as described below.

They count as close-combat weapons like fists and amps.

One-handed weapons include sword, axe, mace, baton, and spear.  

These can be used with a shield or buckler in the left hand for improved protections if dressed in LA or MA, particularly.

====Weapons====

[[File:BattleAction.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Battle action]]

Choose the best weapon by examining the weapon's characteristics, found in the right-click INFO choice on each weapon.  

If you cannot see the values, grab the weapon with your mouse and move it.  

Multiply the damage by the speed to get the damage/min inflicted on your enemy.  

The more damage the better.  

Note that damage is the only factor on melee weapons that is affected by the level of the weapon, meaning that a higher level weapon is capable of more damage per hit.

It is important to seek values for Dodge, Parry, Adversary Dodge, and Adversary Parry that are as high as possible--highly positive for you, highly negative for your adversary.  

These values add to your defence and add to the adversary defence! Pick a weapon that looks good and you like using.  

Any weapon can be made great with the right materials and a good crafter.

Weapons can be held at the strength +10 level.

'''Tip''': Lightweight weapons consume less stamina.

</div>

Special stanzas can be learned for each weapon type.  

Specifically, bleed for slashing weapons, slow attack for smashing weapons, ignore armour for piercing weapons, and hit rate for range weapons.

====Create battle actions with custom stanzas====

These seem expensive, but are much cheaper than the damage caused by a MOB in a long drawn-out battle.  

Here is an example of a simple level 40 sword battle action combining the default attack root with increase damage and accurate attack and bleed, balanced with credits:

The mage should be dressed completely in light armour (LA) only.  

Heavy armour (HA) and helmet malus will degrade magic abilities, for both the sender and the recipient.  

Although, some fighters – especially range fighters – and magicians will opt for MA.

The maximum light armour any avatar can wear is her highest skill level + 25.  

Medium armour is limited to constitution x1.5 and heavy armour is limited to constitution + 10.  

Always don the best armour possible while realizing that small increases in stats probably aren't worth the dappers the armour will cost.

This is determined by examining all the armour’s statistics.  

The Dodge or Parry modifiers should be high as possible, depending on usage.  

The Protection (protection factor) is the reduction in the actual attack hit provided by that armour from every blow—the purpose of armour.  

The slash, smash, and pierce show the protections to those particular attacks.

Likewise, higher numbers are useful here.

Usually passive-magic boosts are added by the maker, but there is no magic protection in armour.

Therefore, it is important to wear good jewellery. Jewellery serves to absorb magic and also provide characteristic boosts, such as hit points or sap.  

This will make your avatar more likely to survive in battle.  

Outfit your avatar with jewellery with q level up to your highest skill level +25.

Always use acid on beasts, cold on kitins (bugs), and rot on plants.  

High level racial spells will be available from trainers at level 125.  

Amps are equippable at q=intelligence +10.  

Although staffs can hold spells and sap, magic amplifiers will multiply the spell damage by (1+damage bonus) * (1+speed bonus).

Good amps are essential!

MOBs all across Atys have certain resistances to melee and spells.  

So, in addition to strengths in speed, damage, parry, dodge, amp multipliers, etc., some MOBs suffer reduced damage or no damage whatsoever from an attack. It would be wise to know the ways of the enemy before attacking.  

For instance, try to solo kill a kipucka with a slashing weapon.  

Then use a piercing weapon against that same kiupcka, provided you're the same skill level, and killing it will be no problem.  

This is because kipuckas are resistant to slash but not resistant to pierce!

To kill a large MOB such as this great kipucka, several formations are commonly used.  

The fighter (tank) goes to confront the MOB, while a magician sends healing from a distance.  

If there is a strong healer and a weak healer, then the weak healer “back heals” the strong healer's sap and life HP.  

Other layers of offensive magicians and defensive fighters may be added.  

''(Implied, but not stated:team.)''

Fighters will proceed to the MOB, one offensive fighter or magician will position mid-way, and the defensive magicians will stay in the rear.  

Because, if the attacking fighter dies, the MOB will go straight for the magicians, generally in LA, and kill them.  

The mid-way fighter protects the magicians.

Use an enchanted weapon to fire a spell before you attack, to give you the advantage.  

Then attack.

''(or not – that's only one way to start, and a bad way for bosses since it drags minions.)''

Switch to the SYSTEM&nbsp;INFO channel to see detailed results of your battle.  

This window will tell you the body part struck, how many points damaged, etc.

It will tell you how your spells worked, how your battle went, and exactly how you died.  

This is invaluable in diagnosing your armour, actions, and attacks.  

If you don't like the results, try editing your actions or find a different mob.

'''City of choice'''

When you leave the training area of Silan is up to you.

It is recommended that you complete all the missions from the skill training NPCs, plus the missions from the Kami and Karavan representatives and from Chiang the Strong.  

Some of these ask you to form teams, but if you can do them solo, it will work.  

Others really need teams.  

All of these missions yield good experience and many of them yield armour and weapons that are better than anything else in the training area.

(Note: experienced players with friends on the mainland have left Silan at level 1 and survived.  

The opportunity is given in the last mission from Chiang the Strong.  

You have to choose a city to go to.

The default is the capital city of your race, but if you have friends in game already you may not want to take that option.  

It's up to you.  

Information:  Pyr is in the Desert (Fyros), Yrkanis in the Forest (Matis), Fairhaven in the Lakes (Tryker), and Zora in the Jungle (Zorai).

Joining an active guild can greatly speed your avatar development.

There are many guilds of different types and alignments.  

Guild halls are accessed through the doorman, at the glowing terminals found it cities and towns, or at any outpost the guild controls.  

Any member of the guild may add items to the guild hall, but only high officers and the leader may withdraw items.  

Using the G key will display a guild window.  

Several sort orders of displayed guild members can be cycled by using right-click with the mouse.

Anyone may start their own guild; all you need is money and desire (a group of friends to be members is a really good idea).

Guild clerks can be found in the capital cities on the mainland.

Within the guild creations window, you will be able to set the name and description of your guild, as well as choose the guild crest and colours.

Once the guild is created, you will not be able to edit these settings, so choose carefully.  

Right-click other avatars to add/remove/promote/demote.  

If you start a guild of your own, be prepared to spend dappers to start the guild itself (100K), and then spend 5-10 million dappers to purchase a guild hall.

And then you will need an outpost...

Outposts are located in most regions, both above and below Atys, Almati Woods being the exception.

There are currently no "working" outposts located below Atys.  

All outposts capable of drilling materials are on the surface.

Outposts drill for and yield rare materials and flowers.  

The products of outposts are of two types, purified and modified.  

The Kami process purifies the materials, while the Karavan process modifies the materials.  

Every day or so these produce a single type of material in accordance to the level of the area around the site.  

Every now and then the drill produces higher quality or lower quality materials  than normal.  

The OP itself cannot store any mats, so a GH must be owned by the guild prior to construction of the drill.  

The materials flow directly into the GH.

These rare materials are used to make the finest weapons and tools on Atys.  

This reason is why the guilds fight to possess an outpost.  

Owned by guilds, they are attacked and won.  

Outpost battles are scheduled and then fought in rounds throughout the course of a day.  

Avatars entering a disputed area must pick to either defend or attack the outpost, then join their comrades in battle.

The names and titles over the heads of opposing avatars turn red to identify them.  

Generally, offensive and defensive leagues are created using the /league leaguename , /leagueinvite, /leaguequit, and /leaguekick chat commands.

Check your UTC/local battle time by typing /time in the AROUND channel.

Outposts' thresholds decrease with time and within 6 months it decreases down to four, representing the lowest number of rounds it takes to win ownership.

Phase one of battle is the attack phase, where the respawning NPC guards are on the side of the current owners.  

The second phase is the defence phase, usually 4-5 rounds.  

There are announcements of who won each round, and then the wins/losses are tallied at the end of the battle to decide who gets control of that outpost.

If victorious, the winning guild is left with a worthless site that must be rebuilt. Options for drilling can be purchased, such as speed and type of drill.  

The guild leader purchases a new drill by going to the OP and selecting a spot. Right-clicking on a spot, brings a pop-up window of options for drill types and

==Quests==

Quests are special missions given by the Sage in each city.  

They are complicated, long missions that  reward the avatar with special items.  

Each are available to take only once.

The Fyros sage will give the Revealers of Heros quest, the Matis will seek the Treasures of Jinovich, while the Trykers wish to recover the Daggers of the Lagoons, and the Zorai are concerned about Nature Under Threat.

==Rites==

[[File:Rites.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Rites]]

There are many rites on Atys, for a variety of situations including avatar improvement and craft benefits.  

Some examples include the Majestic Garden Rite, Kizoar Rite, and Kincher Rite.
