For those heroes new to herobattles, this aspect of Medievia can be confusing and downright intimidating.

Collect Them All - Earth Crystal

Posted in Tips & Tricks| By Rinor on 2007-11-10 | 2 comments

Earth crystals are one of those nifty items that about all the heroes carry around. They are needed to cast the attune spell.

Running EQ for Profit

Posted in Tips & Tricks| By Rinor on 2007-03-03 | 1 comments

Trading is great if you happen to enjoy watching paint dry. Sure, it's a stable source of income but there's no excitement involved. I prefer to think of trading as having a typical 9 to 5 job.

This is kind of like self-employment a.k.a. running your own business. Well, you're basically doing that when you run for equipment and sell them. Of course, there is always the possibility of being banked, but the potential for a greater reward is higher. Plus it is just fun to pop a huge item once in a while! continue

And of course if you are in an egg towngame where chances are combs are really old, there's no choice but to kill whatever is around. continue
