New in Moo Classic: maps and experiences

The lore below is ours. It is made up to give the places a reason to exist, and it is not a rule of the game. The facts under each lore section are the rules.

Devias Wasteland

The lore is ours, made up for the game. The ice north of Devias was once a frontier. When the dark forces broke the northern wall, the soldiers of the Kingdom held a line out in the snow, and the cold took the battlefield after them. The banners are still standing there, frozen upright, and so are the dead who never went home. Some say the Archangel lit a lantern at the edge of the field so that anyone who fell out there would wake at its stones and not in the town. The merchants followed the lantern, and so did the adventurers. The Ice Queen has never forgiven the lantern for it.

Getting there

There are three ways in:

1. The walk-in gate from Devias. Go to the east end of the cobbled path in Devias, at (244, 10) to (245, 11), by the fence. You need level 30 to walk through. You arrive at the outpost, at (200 to 202, 99 to 101).
2. The Move list. Open the Move list and pick DeviasW, below Devias 4. It costs 4,000 zen and needs level 40. It takes you to the same outpost.
3. Back to Devias. Walk into the big ice gate at (211 to 214, 98 to 101) on the Wasteland side. It takes you to Devias at (242, 10). This way needs no level.

The outpost

The outpost is a safe zone of its own. It is not part of Devias. When your character dies in the Wasteland, it wakes at the outpost, and not in Devias.

Two of the town's people stand here:

The frozen camp: Thompson

Thompson the Merchant has a camp in the south of the Wasteland, at (120, 237). He sells potions, Antidote and Town Portal Scroll. He also has Arrow and Bolt at +3. Stock up here before a long walk into the Wasteland.

The ruins: Ruin Smith

The Ruin Smith is hidden behind the tundra ruin in the north-west, at (19, 57). Few people find him. He sells things that the towns do not:

• Legendary Gloves and Legendary Boots, the Legendary set.
• Dragon Gloves and Dragon Boots, the Dragon set.
• Guardian Gloves and Guardian Boots, the Guardian set.
• Plate Gloves, Plate Boots and Plate Helm.
• Weapons: Serpent Crossbow, Serpent Spear, Crescent Axe and Gorgon Staff.

Areas

• The battlefield, around (186 to 193, 26 to 33). Armour, shields, swords and dead guards lie in the snow. A clearing of Yeti stands here.
• The frozen lake, in the middle of the Wasteland. A small island of ice crystals sits in the water.
• The tundra ruin in the north-west, where the Ruin Smith is hidden.
• The frozen camp in the south, where Thompson the Merchant has his stall.
• The highlands in the east, where Hommerd stands in its clearing at (224, 166).
• The grotto in the south-east, where Assassin stands at (226, 228).
• The far south-west, at (40 to 43, 185 to 188), where the Ice Queen waits alone.

Monsters

The monsters' levels rise the farther you go from the outpost. The weakest are on the near ground, and the Ice Queen is the strongest.

Each kind also stands in smaller groups of one to four in the nooks off the main clearings.

Promiseland

The lore is ours, made up for the game. Long ago, before the dark lords first marched, the council of the Kingdom promised its people a new home across the sea. Their ships sailed west from Lorencia with that promise and very little else. The pilgrims who landed on the far coast called the land Promiseland. Their caravan camp is still at the pier, with a well, a tavern and stalls that trade with whoever lands. Beyond the meadows, the walls of an old fort still hold the things the pilgrims could not drive out. The promise was kept, but only just.

Getting there

Promiseland is reached by sea. There is no Move list entry for it.

• From Lorencia. Walk to the end of the pier in Lorencia, at (236 to 237, 239 to 240), beside the two moored ships. You need level 60. The ship sails, and you land on the pier of Promiseland at (69 to 71, 22 to 24).
• Back to Lorencia. Walk to the end of the pier in Promiseland, beside the moored ship, at (69 to 71, 11 to 12). You land on the pier of Lorencia at (231 to 232, 239 to 240).

There is no fare. While you sail, the screen shows the night sea and "Setting sail for Promiseland..." for two seconds, and it fades after that.

The caravan town

The caravan town round the pier is a safe zone. When your character dies on Promiseland, it wakes here, at (66 to 69, 46 to 48).

Areas

• The harbour valley, between the west rock and the great spine, with Death Tree among the trees.
• The north meadow, with a lotus pond and reeds. Witch Queen stands in the meadow's north.
• The river and its bridges. The river runs down a canyon on the east side. Planked bridges cross it.
• The far bank, the farms across the river. Gigantis and Berserker stand in the fields.
• The old fort in the south-west, with walls and broken statues. Satyros and Kentauros live in the ruins.
• The dry edge in the south-east, with sand and dunes. Persona and Dreadfear are at its far end.

Monsters

Promiseland is for higher levels. Its weakest monsters, Death Tree and Forest Orc, are level 62 and 64.

The TAB map

Press Tab to open the full map. It shows the whole map you stand on, with the hero, your party, the NPCs and the gates. Press Tab again, or Esc, to close it.

What you see on it

• Your hero, and your party's members in their party colours.
• NPCs, as green dots.
• Gates, as blue arrows.
• The legend, at the top left. It lists your party, the controls, and the marks.

Controls

Pings

A ping marks a spot for the whole party. It lasts four seconds, and you can send one every two seconds.

• On the TAB map a ping is a ring in your colour, with a pulse.
• In the world a ping is a glowing disc, with rings and a beam of light that rises from the spot. Press Alt and click on empty ground to ping there, and the hero does not walk. On a phone, tap the Ping button under the menu to ping where the hero stands, or drag the button to where you want the ping.
• Sound. Every ping plays a short tone, and it follows the volume in Options.

Pins

A pin marks a spot on the TAB map for the party. Each player has one pin.

• A pin goes when you move it, take it away, leave the party or log out, or when 15 minutes pass.
• Alone, pings and pins are drawn for you only, and nothing is sent to anyone.
• Pings and pins show only on the map they were placed on.

The party's colours

The party leader is gold. The other members take cyan, green, pink and orange, in their party order. Alone, you are gold.

Town currencies

Personal stores take their price in one of three currencies, depending on the town.

Moo Gold is the coin of the cash shop. It belongs to your account, not to one character. The party and personal store rules are in the party and PK guide.

Other things new in Moo Classic

• Phone controls with the Ping. Phones have the Ping button under the menu, and the TAB map takes taps and holds in place of the mouse.
• The voyage to Promiseland. The sailing message shows for two seconds when you change map, and it fades out after that.
• The dead wake at the safe zone of their map. In the Wasteland and on Promiseland, you wake at the outpost or the caravan town.
