General Questions

Why have all the crystals gone?

There are no crystals in the Crystal Blue release like in the previous Molecular Blue release. The new currency is now Tria. Anyway you may still find Emeralds and Crystals down in the Laanx Dungeon.

Can I gain experience other than by fighting?

Yes, experience points are also awarded when you mine minerals and complete quests.

Can I buy a house?

No, it's a distant feature so don't expect it soon.

What's a GM?

GMs are Game Masters, they have special powers depending on their rank that they use to keep peace and help people in PlaneShift.

Can I be a GM?

GMs are picked by developers for being useful advisors. When you become a knowledgeable and experienced player, you can become an advisor using /advisormode on command. Then use /advice player_name to answer problems and earn advisor points. Don't look forward to being a GM until you worked a long time and regularly as an Advisor in the help channel.

How can I avoid fall damage?

Don't run down staircases, don't jump from high places and be careful when travelling dangerous paths where it may be easy to slip.

How do I open doors?

Doors that are shut cannot currently be opened.

How can I make money?

Money can be gained from looting dead monsters and selling what you find, mining ore, completing quests or selling the proceeds of your crafting.

How do I crouch?

The default key to crouch is [Right-Shift]. Hold down to make your character creep slowly while moving.

Why do I always die if I go into the well in the temple; there used to be a dungeon there?

The dungeon still exists; however the fall from the temple well might be fatal depending on your Health and Armor. There is a secret entrance to the dungeon somewhere else in Hydlaa.

Where are the sewers?

There are two entrances to the sewers. One is near the Tavern. You will have to find them yourself.

What happens when I die?

You are thrown away into the Death Realm, which you must escape in order to return back to normal world. Don't worry it's not hard.

How can I change my hotkeys?

You can change almost any hotkey from the Options Window.

How can I create shortcuts (macros)?

Right click on any button in the Shortcuts Window in game to change its name and assign commands to it.

How can I create an account to play?

The accounts in PlaneShift are free of charge. You can create an account with a valid email address at http://laanx.fragnetics.com/register/. See Section 1.5, “Creating An Account” for more information.

Where can I mine?

Minerals can usually be found at rocky outcrops. Exploring to find ore veins is part of the fun of PlaneShift!

How do I mine?

While standing on an appropriate dig site use /dig for mineral_to_dig command, e.g. for gold you'll use /dig for gold.

Where can I buy weapons?

You can buy them from Harnquist the smith in Hydlaa or the dwarf in first shop to the left in Ojaveda.

Where can I buy mining tools?

You can buy them from Harnquist the smith in Hydlaa.

I am having no success mining, what's wrong?

Be patient, everything is hard to being with. Your success in mining depends on your skill and quality of pickaxe used. Try raising your mining skills or buy a more expensive pickaxe.

Where's the new city called Ojaveda?

You will need to find the Hydlaa gate and explore far, far from the city of Hydlaa to find Ojaveda.

All players having same race look exactly same, is it possible to look different?

Not At the moment. Character customization is currently not available in Crystal Blue.

Can only skills like sword, axe, etc. be bought or can you buy strength, endurance, will, etc.?

You can also buy training for strength, endurance and other stats, you just have to find the right trainer.

Are there Guilds in Plane Shift?

Yes, everyone can create or join a guild in the game. You need to use the Guild Window.

What are Guilds?

Guilds are pretty much another name for clans. Characters with a good amount of (in-game) money and a number of followers can build a new guild. They can invite friends to be part of it, giving them titles. A guild is normally associated to a job in Ylikaum society, like merchants, weapon smithy, etc. But a guild can be also created for other reasons, knowledge, defense, and politics.
