Basic Tips and Hints

5. If you get stuck and cannot move, typing “/stuck” will free you and teleport you to the last Milestone you set as your Map Home. Milestones are located in most big cities and towns.

6. When selling excess items to a vendor NPC, take note of the lock icon (the padlock symbol). Once an item is locked you cannot sell it until you unlock it. This will keep your valuable items from accidentally being sold. You can lock and unlock an item by clicking on the padlock symbol when in the Sell panel at a vendor NPC.

7. The “Insert” key will toggle your character between run and walk.

8. Below are some commonly used shortcut keys. For a more extensive list in-game, look in your Options panel under Key Mapping. Once there, you can change the key associated with each shortcut.

• Press Alt+F10 to turn on a personal light in some areas.
• The Numlock key will toggle Autorun so you don't have to hold down the W key. Your character will run forward until you press Numlock again to make them stop. You can still steer while autorunning.

• Use the Del key to select the nearest object.
• The U key will use the item you have selected.

• The F8 key will select the nearest member of your fellowship.
• The F9 key has many uses: pressing F9 will select the nearest Player Character, pressing Shift-F9 will select the next closest player character and Ctrl-F9 will cycle through players from farthest the nearest.
• The F10 key will select the nearest NPC/corpse. Pressing Shift-F10 will move to the next closest NPC while pressing CTRL-F10 will select the previously selected NPC, or if no NPC is selected, it will select the NPC farthest from you.
• The F11 key or the PRT SCR key will take a screenshot.
• The F12 key will hide your user interface. Press F12 again to restore it.
