The Basics of Mirth Life

    Here's what you will have to know to get around in Minions of Mirth.
   
    First is moving around, which is fairly simple to get the hang of. The  "WASD" and "QE" can be used to move and strafe. If this method of moving around is not to your liking, you can go into the settings (ESC > More Options > Controls) and change it from there. 
    Once you have the ability of moving your character down, let's now talk about trying to talk to one of those strange NPCs you see everywhere. You can talk to them simply by running up to them and double clicking, or you can get near them, target them, and type "/interact." Either way works, as long as you do not hit them when talking to them.

     Attacking:

    Attacking is the key part of leveling up, since quests in Mirth don't give enough experience to level you up. So to attack, find something you want to kill and click the red sword on your Action Bar. The Action Bar is also referred to as the Macro Bar, you can toggle it with "N." Once you are Auto-attacking (Your sword will glow red) move near the enemy and watch as it begins to die. You also get a few skills to use, depending on the class that you start as. Classes are restricted by races as well. Humans for example, can be any class available to that realm, whereas Trolls, can only be four of the sixteen classes.

Some classes, such as Wizard, Revealer, Tempest, ect. Will not have skills to start with, and should not attempt to melee the enemies. Those classes, as casters, should use their spells they come with. To learn those spells, Press "I" and for PC, CTRL-Double Click each spell. For Mac, you can CTRL-Double Click, or Command-Double Click each spell. Once you learned a few spells, open the SpellBook with "B."  Double click a spell and click one of the glowing green slots in the Action Bar. You can then, just click the spell on the Action Bar to activate it and cast it.
