Citizen

Strategy

The basic strategy is to find mobs of your level or perhaps one to two levels higher, to generate FXP and FX levels and skill points. You begin life as a level 1 citizen with 2 FX points, you should immediately spend 1 point into your survival skills and get the Keep in Life skill. The Keep in Life skill icon should appear on your hotbar once you've invested the point for it. Now go to a empty hotbar space with your mouse pointer and right-click to get the game action keys list. There is an action command called EnableStickFight, select this command and it will add an icon to your hotbar. This button will now make you move into melee range with the target you are attacking and place you within the 5 meter range necessary for Keep in Life to work. Further investment into survival skills will increase your effectiveness at combat with ranged attacks and eventually a self heal. You should also be sure to invest into your mount skills as your mounts will fight for you, improving your ability to fight higher level mobs or groups of mobs. Not to mention, its a big world and you need a better mode of transportion than your own legwork. Once you reach level 5 you can now click on your stat info bar, a small box opens up a window with base class choices.

Tactics

Everybody starts life with a crossbow unequiped, you can equip this item and use it to open attacks with a ranged shot. Your survival skills will make you much more effective at killing mobs than just your basic attack. "Find your food" gives you a ranged special for an opening attack which is much more effective than the basic crossbow shot. You should try to get your Dodo mount as soon as possible, the default stance for pets is to protect you and so they will automaticly attack your target once the mob attacks you. The most difficult part of life as a citizen is finding mobs of the appropriate level.

Hints and Bugs

Use the EnableStickFight command to maintain 5 meter melee range with your targets.
