*1 Starting out*
When you first start the game you will be asked to pick your breed and gender.
Then, you may alter your appearance. Next you will be asked to select a
profession. If you want to be a keeper or shade, you will have to start your
new life on the floating city of Jobe. Otherwise, read this guide and follow
me to the shuttleport. Walk along and talk to the people standing around inside
the starter area, they do have some good things to tell you. Some will just
make idle chit chat and others will attempt to lean you towards one faction
or the other.
When your ready, Go through the door that says ICC Shuttleport.
When you zone, you will be in your transport ship and on your way to beautiful
Rubi-Ka. Following some events youll find the ship has crashed landed and you
need to find your way out of there fast! Exit the room you are in and turn
left, you will see a ladder at the end of the hall, walk up to the ladder to
be zoned outside. When you emerge from the wreckage, you will be greeted by a
sexy blonde nurse (god I love you devs). She will ask how you are doing and
tell you briefly about the island. She will tell you about a man named Thorn
that you should try to get in contact with soon. Leaving her, swim across the
lake and make your way to the beach.
Welcome to Newb Beach! First things first,
lets press the "i" key to open your inventory and equip your starter weapon.
You can equip it by right clicking on the weapon. You will also want to press
"u" and raise your stats right from the get go. I wont go into what stats to
raise ect. ect. thats what your Professionals programs are for Some
professions start with a Nano-crystal in their inventory, right click that to
"upload" it to your Nano library. You will also be given a Treatment pack and
a first aid kit. You can use those by right clicking on them once you have
yourself targeted (F1). The treatment kit can only be used if your are not in
combat and are sitting down (x). Now, go around and look at some of the mobs
and talk to some of the other newbies who are just starting like you.
You can talk to them by pressing [Enter] your text [Enter]. You can change channels by right clikcing in the chat box and highlight "Talk to channel". The basic
premise is to kill things to get experience points (xp) and get a new level.
Once you get a new level, you can raise your stats (hp, nano, weaponskill ect.)
There are several types of mobs found in the newbie alien area, ill point them
out below. First though, I need to tell you about how Anarchy Online's /con
works. When you click on a mob, its HP bar will be a color, ranging from grey
to red. Grey is very easy, Green is easy, Yellow is equal to you, Orange is
difficult, and Red is "Impossible to kill solo" (or so they say /wink). You can
find out what level a monster is by clicking on it and pressing the "t" key.
Now that you have your weapon on and are ready to fight, lets look at the mobs
you will find in the alien playfield.

Bosses.
There are seven bosses on this playfield that I have found. Bosses are
different than the regular mobs in that they have damage shields and a
ton more hp. They hit harder too, so be careful before taking one on.
The first boss you will find is a snake boss, he will be to your right when
you first get to the island. There is a huge leet boss, he sits in front of
the tunnel. Next to him on the left is the salamander boss, running further
down shore youll find a Malle boss, and a Rollerrat boss is over there too.
There is also a nasty robot boss on this island. Look for the broken gate,
to the left of that there will be a dock, walk all the way to the end to fight
the slave robot boss.
