The 10 Commandments of SakuraHeavenOnline
================================================================================

*******************************************************************************
* *
* WARNING *
* *
* YOU WILL READ THIS SECTION IN IT'S ENTIRETY, AND ABIDE BY WHAT IS SAID *
* HERE. THERE ARE MANY JERKS IN RO, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY IN SAKURAHEAVEN !*
* *
* *
*******************************************************************************

It shames me that I need to make a section like this. In fact, I'm sure most
of you could skip right over it and be fine. I still hope everyone will read
this section though, if anything else.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember that behind that graphic, there is a living and breathing person.
Like you, he/she has feelings, and deserves proper respect.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Thou Shalt Not Taketh Away Ones Honor... and EXP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do NOT kill steal. Kill stealing is attacking a monster another has already
begun to attack. Please find your own monster, as the attacker only gets 1/2
of the normal experience. This is also referred to as helping or jamming.

Due to Gravity's servers being hosted on a 14.4 modem, sometimes you'll see
players follow an enemy, but always be a few seconds behind them. You'll see
yourself doing it. This is because of lag. LEAVE THEIR ENEMY ALONE! This
is just as bad as kill stealing, IMO. You should not have this problem on SAKURAHEAVEN, since
Hosts' server don't lag

Cooralary to Commandment 3: It is okay to Kill Steal if someone asks for help,
usually indicated by using that emote.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Thou Shalt Not Taketh Ones Crap
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do NOT loot. Looting is taking the items from a monster that you did not
kill. If, after a guy kills something, and walks off without picking up the
stuff, by all means take it. You'll find very often people leave Jellopies
and other less valuable things lying around, so if your a newbie, go ahead
and take them. Always give them back if they ask for them though.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Thou Shalt Not Lag Down Servers with their "Jackass-ness"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do NOT bot. There is a program(s), somewhere out there on the net, that
will level your character automatically for you. All it does is loot and kill
steal from honest players, and take up bandwidth for real users. You are also
violating SHRO's TOS by using one and you WILL get banned or Red Boxed for life, Wingdestiny really loves
doing that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Thou Shalt Not be a l33t h4x0rz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do NOT hack. This includes doing crazy stuff like duplicating items or zeny,
or exploiting bugs in the program. All you are doing is hurting the economy,
so in the end you are hurting yourself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Thou Shalt Respect the Services of Merchants
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before speaking with a discount merchant, please check to make sure you have
enough zeny for the item you intend to purchase. Most offer 20 or 15 percent
off, so the math is not difficult. Also, if you don't have the money, don't
ask the merchant to sell you the item at a considerably lower price. Discount
merchants dont make that much of a profit, and none of them are willing to pay
for some of your item out of their own pocket. Also, after you have agreed
to purchase the item, you are bound by a verbal contract to buy it. Don't try
to worm your way out.

About overcharge Merchants as well - Don't bother to give them anything that
sells for 6z or less, because you won't get any extra zeny that way. So just
sell it yourself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Thou Shalt Not screw other Merchants over
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you changed class, the NPC said something about a 20% rule, meaning you
should DC everything for 20% and keep the 4%. FOLLOW IT. I constantly see
some people DCing for 22% where other Merchants around them have been DCing for
20%. That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Whats going to happen
when you offer 22%? Other Merchants are going to offer 22% as well, and then
your back to square one. Your not going to get any more business than usual,
people are just looking for Reds or Armor - nobody is going to travel from say,
Izlude to Prontera for your fantastic 2% extra DC. Then your both going to get
in a price war and wind up getting nothing. In the perfect SAKURAHEAVEN world, 15% DC
would be the standard price, but methinks the public wouldn't take too kindly
to that. But then again, most don't know how little 4% is.

This also means Reds are 40z. Not 39z, 40z. Of course, if your an educated SAKURAHEAVEN
user, you know Carrots are better anyway, so its irrelevant. ^_^

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8) Thou Shalt Not Beg Mercenaries of God for his forgiveness
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acolytes are not your personal, walking red potion. Most will give you a
heal if you ask nicely though. Asking nicely would be "If it's not too much
trouble, could I have a heal?" or "Can you please heal me?". "HEAL PLZ" and
"HEAL NOW" will not do. As I always tell people, if your too lazy to even
write out "please", you don't deserve a heal. If the Acolyte does heal you,
be sure and say thanks. Also, feel free to tip them. About 20z for every 100
HP is good. They also really like Blue gems for their warps.

And please tip them if one helps you or the Blacksmith you hired to forge.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9) Thou Shalt Not be a Lazy Bum
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please don't beg for money. We all know novices are poor, and you will be
until around level 25. We all had to go through exactly what you did. So just
be patient.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10) Thou Shalt Not Attempt to Steal from their Fellow Players
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't scam, and don't fall for scams. The less people that fall for them,
the less scammers will do them! Popular scams are offering to "upgrade" your
weapon for you, which you can just go yourself. Or, selling items for 1 digit
more than usual. So a 100z item would become a 1100z item, hoping nobody would
notice. Unfortunately, people are dumb enough too. Just remember, caveat
emptor, and if something sounds way too good to be true, it probably is.

And Edward_K sayeth, "Let there be order in SAKURAHEAVEN!" Then the crowds respondeth,
"**** off you little ****** ******!" :)

A - This is your characters name

you will not be able to use active skills until it refills
E - This is your base EXP. When it reaches 100%, you will receive status
points. Asign these into your stats to make you stronger in that area
F - This is your job EXP. When it reaches 100%, you will receive one skill
point, which you may put into the skill of your choice
G - This is your weight. When it is above 50%, this number will turn red and
you will not automatically recover HP and SP any more. When it is above 90%,
you will no longer be able to attack or use skills.
I - This is the map of the current area you are in. Click on the + and - to
zoom in and out.

===============================================================================
Stat Information
===============================================================================

You can view your stat window my clicking on the button, or pressing ALT+A.
The number next to the stat is your current amount, and the number to the right
of the arrow is how many status points needed to raise it by 1.

The stats are the following...

STR (Strength)_________________________________________________________________

Recommended for: Thief, Swordsman, Acolyte, Merchant

This stat determines how hard you hit. Each point will give you 1 extra ATK.
The bonuses are as follows:

STR Min/Max Damage
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
10 +1
20 +4
30 +5
40 +8
50 +10
60 +12
70 +13
80 +15
90 +17
100 +19

AGI (Agility)__________________________________________________________________

Recommended for: Thief, Swordsman, Mage, Archer, Merchant

This stat increases how often you will dodge an enemy attack, by increasing
Flee by 1. It will also increase your attack speed. There are no bonuses for
this stat.

VIT (Vitality)_________________________________________________________________

Recommended for: Swordsman, Acolyte

Each point in this stat increases your Defence by 1, which means you take 1
point less damage from every attack. It will also increase your maximum HP,
and your HP recovery speed. There are no bonuses for this stat.

INT (Intelligence)_____________________________________________________________

Recommended for: Magician, Acolyte

This stat increases your Magic Attack, which is how powerful your spells are.
Each point in this stat also increases your Magic Defence by 1, but since no
enemies use magic yet, that is useless. It also increases your sP recovery
time, and maximum SP. Every 5 points in INT, you recieve a maximum damage
boost, and for every 7 points, you recieve a minimum damage boost. So you
would recieve a max boost at values like 5, 10, and 15, and a min boost at
values like 7, 14, and 21. Hopefully in the future I'll have the exact values.

DEX (Dexterity)________________________________________________________________

Recommended for: Archer, Swordsman, Thief, Acolyte, Merchant

Each point in this stat will increase your hit by 1, which is how often you
do not miss an enemy. For Archers, this stat determines their damage, like STR
for a melee fighter. For Mages, it determines your casting rate. It will also
increase miniumum damage. The bonuses are as follows:

DEX Min/Max Damage
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
20 +3
30 +4
40 +5
50 +6
60 +8
70 +10
80 +12
90 +13
100 +14

LUK (Luck)_____________________________________________________________________

Recommended for: Archer, Merchant, Thief

LUK has become a bit more useful now. In Beta 1, 100 LUK would give you a 10%
chance to critical, however, now you get 3 criticals per 10 LUK - hence, a 30%
chance to critical. It's really only good for an Assassin or somebody with a
lot of Soldier Skeleton/Caramal Cards to really get high percentages.

All the following stats are those you cannot increase directly.

ATK (Attack)___________________________________________________________________

This is your physical attack with a weapon. The first number is the attack of
your weapon, plus your STR. The second number is how much ATK your upgraded
weapon adds, which ignores DEF.

MATK (Magic Attack)____________________________________________________________

This is the attack of your magic. This will only be useful to Acolytes and
Mages. The 2 numbers are the range of your Magic Damage. This is effected
by INT and Wands, as they increase the attack by 15%. This stat is
counteracted by MDEF.

Hit____________________________________________________________________________

This number is a represenation of how often you hit an enemy. It increases 1
point every level, and each point in DEX increases it by 1 point as well. This
is counteracted by Flee.

Critical_______________________________________________________________________

This number increases by 1 for every 3 LUK you have. Think of this number
as the percentage of a chance of a critical hit or Lucky dodge.

DEF (Defense)__________________________________________________________________

This is your physical defense against enemies. The damage you take is the
enemies ATK minus your total defense. There are a few things to consider
though - armor works on percentages, so 10 armor will reduce all attacks in the
game by 10%. VIT works on points, so 10 VIT will reduce all damage done to you
by 10. Confused? Well, it doesn't matter, DEF is a good thing to have.

MDEF (Magic Defense)___________________________________________________________

This is your defense against magical attacks. Since no enemies use magic, and
PKing is not enabled, this stat is useless. The first number is the total
magical defense of all your armor, while the second is your INT.

Flee___________________________________________________________________________

This number is a representaion of how often you dodge an enemy. It increases 1
point every level, and each point in AGI increases it by 1 point as well. Your
flee drops greatly between enemies as they attack you, as it is split amongst
them. This is counteracted by Hit.

ASPD (Attack Speed)____________________________________________________________

This is your attack speed, which has finally been enabled. 200 is the fastest
attack speed, 100 the slowest.

Status Point___________________________________________________________________

This number is simply the number of status points you currently have spare.

Guild__________________________________________________________________________

Your guild name and icon goes here.
