So You Want To Be A Hero.

Welcome to the Beginner's Guide to Twilight Heros.
Warning: This guide may contain spoilers.

• (Here is the Official TH Manual, we will be covering some things that are in there.)

Choosing a class

Here is the Classes page & a 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 Heros can be a bit confusing or overwhelming when your first starting.
This next little section will show you were to start if you want to head into combat a little more prepared.

Dumpster Diving

To Quote Ryme "dumpster diving--while not glamorous--can be surprisingly rewarding."
You will want to Investigate the trash bin out back.
You are looking for

• denim jacket
• denim pants
  

and the adventure below.

Who Would Throw Away a Perfectly Good TV?
	Item Drops: none Chip Drops: 150 Experience: none

Your next step

Head to Pilant's Hardware and Soft Wear
& Pick up,

• 1 flashlight
• 1 kneepads
  

&

• 1 bicycle.

you will want to equip them, and head out to Your neighborhood.
And remember to have fun.

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.
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 Equipment.

Caffeine

You get 12 points of caffeine each day, and they will be replenished after rollover.
Each source of caffeine consumes these points differently, since you are a beginner
you'll want to pick up 12 Gingerette or Gingerelle (they are the same thing just different names) from the Black Market.

• 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.

Resting

• Resting in your Hideout will replenish some of your hp & pp.
• Resting will not remove bad effects.
  • (Find the bad effect in the wiki to see if it can be removed & if so, how.)
• Resting will cost you 5 minutes to 2.5 minutes depending on your level.

Loosing 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 lvls loosing 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.
• There are 2 places that you can earn decent chips adventuring.
  
  • First is Golden Wooden Nickel Casino.
    
    • (best to be a lvl 5 or higher, if your 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 lvl 14, unless you have a healing skill then you may be able to do it a few lvls sooner.)

Equipment

here are the Equipment Summarie 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 Cristiona ID# 24 in the game, she will give you a fair price for your Magic truck vehicle.)

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 anoyone.

  • A Positronic computer is 50% better than an Electronic computer.
