{{Underconstruction|comment=Still working on the page, it may take some time to figure out what needs to be added.--[[User:Reaper|Reaper]]}}

=So You Want To Be A Hero.=
Welcome to the Beginner's Guide to Twilight Heroes. 
'''Warning''': This guide may contain spoilers. 
*(Here is the [http://www.twilightheroes.com/manual.php Official TH Manual], we will be covering some things that are in there.)

==Choosing a class==
Here is the [[Classes]] page & a [[Class_Comparison_Tables|Class Comparison Table]] to see what the different classes have to offer.

If you find that you would rather be another class then, the [[Transmogrifier]] page will show you how to change classes.

==Where to start==
Twilight Heroes can be a bit confusing or overwhelming when you're first starting. 
This next little section will show you were to start if you want to head into combat a little more prepared.

===You're a Dirty Dirty Hero===
To Quote [[Ryme]] "dumpster diving--while not glamorous--can be surprisingly rewarding." 
You'll want to [[Investigate the trash bin out back]]. You can do this by, while you are on the main map, clicking on Somerset, then "investigate the trash bin out back". That's how you get to any place you need to go, first by clicking on the location, then by clicking on the specific area. 
You are looking for 
*[[denim jacket]]
*[[denim pants]] 
and the adventure below.
{{noncombat
|name=Who Would Throw Away a Perfectly Good TV?
|image=dumpster.gif
|items=none
|chips=150
|exp=none}}

===Cleaning up Crime===
Head to [[Pilant's Hardware and Soft Wear]] 
& Pick up,
*1 [[flashlight]]
*1 [[kneepads]] 
&
*1 [[bicycle]].

You will want to equip them (click on "wear things" then under the section labeled "wearable items", find the items you wish to equip and click on equip.), and head out to [[Your neighborhood]]. 
And remember to have fun. Note: When you find new equipment, take note that, as a general rule, the higher the power number, the better the equipment. This is not always the case though.

=What you need to know=
Here is some basic info that you should know about.

==Turns & Time==
There are a few things that effect how much time your turns cost. 
[[Beginner's Guide to Twilight Heroes#Caffeine|Caffeine]] will give you more time, with more time you get more turns. 
You want items that remove time from turns, if they add time to turns its a bad thing. 
*[[77 Habits of Highly Effective Heroes]] will make your turns cheaper by 30 seconds. 
**I listed 2 others that you will want to know about here [[Beginner's Guide to Twilight Heroes#Equipment|Equipment]].

===Caffeine is my Friend===
You get 12 points of caffeine each day, and they will be replenished after rollover. 
Each source of caffeine consumes these points differently.

*Q: Whats the best caffeine?
**If you are low on chips you may want to pick up [[Can_of_Gingerette|Gingerette]] or [[Can_of_Gingerelle|Gingerelle]] 12 for a days worth of caffeine and they are a caffeine lvl 1.(they are the same thing just different names) from the [[Black_Market|Black Market]].
**If you don't mind paying more and getting more time then [[Mister Tea]] is for you, 2 for a day and they are a caffeine lvl 6. From the [[Black_Market|Black Market]].
*[[Scalpel energy drink]] & [[Bray energy drink]] are the best source of caffeine in the game.
**'''You can only get 10 of each, from the game!'''
**Some players will buy [[Scalpel energy drink|Scalpels]] & [[Bray energy drink|Brays]] from other players.
***There are some players who are more generous than others, so keep that in mind if you decide to sell your energy drinks.

*Here is the [[Caffeine]] page, it will show you what some of the other sources of caffeine are.

===Rollover===
Every night at roughly 11:10 Eastern time, the game will rollover. 
When you log back in after rollover, you'll have more turns and your caffeine level will be reset.

===To Rest or not to Rest===
*Resting in your [[Hideout]] will replenish roughly 4*level of your hp and 4*level of your pp.
*Resting will cost you 5 minutes to 2.5 minutes depending on your level.
*Resting will not remove bad effects.
**(Find the bad effect in the wiki to see if it can be removed & if so, how.)
**Resting may be better than useing chips on healing at the [[Twilight_Hospital|Twilight Hospital]], but the [[Twilight_Hospital|Twilight Hospital]] can remove some negative effects that you gain when you have lost a fight.
*There are a few ways to replenish your hp & pp. Here are 2 pages to see them [[HP_restorers|HP Restorers]] & [[PP_restorers|PP Restorers]].
**Equipment that regenerates your hp/pp can be obtained fairly easily, but at low lvls may not be usable.
*High-level Players tend not to rest much, each turn can be very valuable.
*If you are resting between every fight or loosing fights, you may want to leave that area and only come back after you have gained a few lvls.

==Losing your Chips==
Chips are your lifeblood... & Devil Dice will take your soul...
*Gambling at the [[Seedy Casinos]] can destroy you faster than you know. 
**(I have heard of many high levels losing hundreds of thousands in chips in just a few minutes.)
*Try not to spend chips on items and equipment, for the first 7 or so levels.
**(you will need the chips for your training and [[Beginner's Guide to Twilight Heros#Caffeine is my Friend|Caffeine]].)
*There are 2 places that you can earn decent chips adventuring. 
**First is [[Golden_Wooden_Nickel_Casino_Grounds|Golden Wooden Nickel Casino]]. 
***(best to be a level 5 or higher, if you're taking a lot of damage then you may want to grind in a place that isn't so brutal.)
**Second is the [[Cube Theater]].
***(it unlocks at level 9 but you will take a lot of damage it would be best if you waited till you were level 14, unless you have a healing skill then you may be able to do it a few levels sooner.)

===Equipment===
Here are the [[:Category:Equipment_Summary_Tables|Equipment Summary Tables]], it will help 
you figure out what gear you want to look for.
 
*When you want to know an item's info in the game, simply click its picture.
*Pay attention to the item's info before buying it. level requirement, what slot it takes, & ect. 
**(you may find that you have something that is better in your inventory.)
*'''Full-body suits''' will take up your shirt slot & your pants slot.
*You can't equip 2 of the same accessories, (unless it says otherwise in its description)

*Get the [[Xentrium breastplate]] ASAP. It will make your turns cost less time.(it will give you more turns)
*Do not use the [[Magic truck vehicle]]. If you use it, it will make your turns cost more time.(it will make you have less turns)
**(if you message [[user:Cristiona|Cristiona]] ID# 24 in the game, she will give you a fair price for your [[Magic truck vehicle]].)

===Rares & IotMs===
These items can be identified by the fact that they are the only items in the game that have [[Color]].

*There are 2 kinds of Rares, Rare & Semi-rare.
**Rares also knows as "Ultra Rares" or "URs" are hard to find and you may spend months looking for them.
***(All tho some people get lucky and find a rare in days.)
***The [[Boomstick]] and the [[Filthy sock puppet]] are the only Rare Items in the game. The [[Pegasus]] ‎is the only known Rare Transportation, all other rares are [[Talismans]].
****The [[Pegasus]] is a Rare that occurs in a time sensitive adventure.
**Semi-rares are [[Talismans]] that are about as good as the talisman that you get for completing the [[Don't Cry for Me, Zion-tina]] quest.
**The [[corrupt amulet]] & [[special wooden cup]] are the only 2 Semi-rares in the game currently.
 
*[[The Wok of Stars|IotMs]] stands for "item of the month".
**They can be obtained by donating 5$ or more to the game for [[silver star|Silver stars]], or buying [[silver star|Silver stars]] from other players.
**They Require 5 to 10 [[silver star|Silver stars]] to buy them from the [[The Wok of Stars]]
**They are retired after the month is over.
***Some players may be selling an [[The Wok of Stars|IotM]] after it has been retired.

====Silver Stars====
You will often head people talk about [[silver star|Silver stars]] in chat. 
[[silver star|Silver stars]] are a type of currency in their own way.
*You may want to check the [[International House of Auctions|Auction House]] or the prices that other players are selling them at, before buying / selling [[silver star|Silver stars]].
*They can be obtained by donating 5$ or more to the game, for 1$ per a [[silver star]].
**They can also be obtained by buying them from other players / [[International House of Auctions|Auction House]].
*They are used as a reference when talking about the more expensive [[Beginner's Guide to Twilight Heros#Rares & IotMs|Rares & IotMs]].
**Example (I'm selling "some item" for 12 stars.)

===Computers & Software===
Here is what you need to know about computers & software.

====Computers====
There are 2 types of computers. you can equip them in your [[Computer Lab]]
*[[Electronic computer]]: This computer can be built by anyone & used by anyone.

**I listed 2 others that you will want to know about here [[Beginner's Guide to Twilight Heroes#Equipment|Equipment]].

===Caffeine is my Friend===
You get 12 points of caffeine each day, and they will be replenished after rollover. 
Each source of caffeine consumes these points differently.

*Q: Whats the best caffeine?
**If you are low on chips you may want to pick up [[Can_of_Gingerette|Gingerette]] or [[Can_of_Gingerelle|Gingerelle]] 12 for a days worth of caffeine and they are a caffeine lvl 1.(they are the same thing just different names) from the [[Black_Market|Black Market]].
**If you don't mind paying more and getting more time then [[Mister Tea]] is for you, 2 for a day and they are a caffeine lvl 6. From the [[Black_Market|Black Market]].
*[[Scalpel energy drink]] & [[Bray energy drink]] are the best source of caffeine in the game.
**'''You can only get 10 of each, from the game!'''
**Some players will buy [[Scalpel energy drink|Scalpels]] & [[Bray energy drink|Brays]] from other players.
***There are some players who are more generous than others, so keep that in mind if you decide to sell your energy drinks.

*Here is the [[Caffeine]] page, it will show you what some of the other sources of caffeine are.

===Rollover===
Every night at roughly 11:10 Eastern time, the game will rollover. 
When you log back in after rollover, you'll have more turns and your caffeine level will be reset.

===To Rest or not to Rest===
*Resting in your [[Hideout]] will replenish roughly 4*level of your hp and 4*level of your pp.
*Resting will cost you 5 minutes to 2.5 minutes depending on your level.
*Resting will not remove bad effects.
**(Find the bad effect in the wiki to see if it can be removed & if so, how.)
**Resting may be better than useing chips on healing at the [[Twilight_Hospital|Twilight Hospital]], but the [[Twilight_Hospital|Twilight Hospital]] can remove some negative effects that you gain when you have lost a fight.
*There are a few ways to replenish your hp & pp. Here are 2 pages to see them [[HP_restorers|HP Restorers]] & [[PP_restorers|PP Restorers]].
**Equipment that regenerates your hp/pp can be obtained fairly easily, but at low lvls may not be usable.
*High-level Players tend not to rest much, each turn can be very valuable.
*If you are resting between every fight or loosing fights, you may want to leave that area and only come back after you have gained a few lvls.

==Losing your Chips==
Chips are your lifeblood... & Devil Dice will take your soul...
*Gambling at the [[Seedy Casinos]] can destroy you faster than you know. 
**(I have heard of many high levels losing hundreds of thousands in chips in just a few minutes.)
*Try not to spend chips on items and equipment, for the first 7 or so levels.
**(you will need the chips for your training and [[Beginner's Guide to Twilight Heros#Caffeine is my Friend|Caffeine]].)
*There are 2 places that you can earn decent chips adventuring. 
**First is [[Golden_Wooden_Nickel_Casino_Grounds|Golden Wooden Nickel Casino]]. 
***(best to be a level 5 or higher, if you're taking a lot of damage then you may want to grind in a place that isn't so brutal.)
**Second is the [[Cube Theater]].
***(it unlocks at level 9 but you will take a lot of damage it would be best if you waited till you were level 14, unless you have a healing skill then you may be able to do it a few levels sooner.)

===Equipment===
Here are the [[:Category:Equipment_Summary_Tables|Equipment Summary Tables]], it will help 
you figure out what gear you want to look for.

**(you may find that you have something that is better in your inventory.)
*'''Full-body suits''' will take up your shirt slot & your pants slot.
*You can't equip 2 of the same accessories, (unless it says otherwise in its description)

*Get the [[Xentrium breastplate]] ASAP. It will make your turns cost less time.(it will give you more turns)

**(if you message [[user:Cristiona|Cristiona]] ID# 24 in the game, she will give you a fair price for your [[Magic truck vehicle]].)

===Rares & IotMs===
These items can be identified by the fact that they are the only items in the game that have [[Color]].

*There are 2 kinds of Rares, Rare & Semi-rare.
**Rares also knows as "Ultra Rares" or "URs" are hard to find and you may spend months looking for them.
***(All tho some people get lucky and find a rare in days.)
***The [[Boomstick]] and the [[Filthy sock puppet]] are the only Rare Items in the game. The [[Pegasus]] ‎is the only known Rare Transportation, all other rares are [[Talismans]].
****The [[Pegasus]] is a Rare that occurs in a time sensitive adventure.
**Semi-rares are [[Talismans]] that are about as good as the talisman that you get for completing the [[Don't Cry for Me, Zion-tina]] quest.
**The [[corrupt amulet]] & [[special wooden cup]] are the only 2 Semi-rares in the game currently.
 
*[[The Wok of Stars|IotMs]] stands for "item of the month".
**They can be obtained by donating 5$ or more to the game for [[silver star|Silver stars]], or buying [[silver star|Silver stars]] from other players.
**They Require 5 to 10 [[silver star|Silver stars]] to buy them from the [[The Wok of Stars]]
**They are retired after the month is over.
***Some players may be selling an [[The Wok of Stars|IotM]] after it has been retired.

====Silver Stars====
You will often head people talk about [[silver star|Silver stars]] in chat. 
[[silver star|Silver stars]] are a type of currency in their own way.
*You may want to check the [[International House of Auctions|Auction House]] or the prices that other players are selling them at, before buying / selling [[silver star|Silver stars]].
*They can be obtained by donating 5$ or more to the game, for 1$ per a [[silver star]].
