Astonia III is pay-to-play. When you sign up you receive a free, one-month trial period. After the 1st month, you must pay $10 (U.S.) to continue playing on that account. Astonia's leveling system is based on kill experience that is received by killing different NPC's (Non Playable Characters) throughout the game. As you gain experience, you are able to spend it on different skills and spells, dependant on what class and race you are (Seyan, Warrior, and Mage). When you start the game, it will not be easy. The faster you start developing relationships with other players, the more likely you are to succeed. The game itself does not require you to be social, and it is possible to do well in it without being social; you will have a lot more fun, and go farther in the game if you have good friends. Section II: What are the Random Dungeons The Random Dungeons are the powerplayer's heaven. The main purpose of them is to provide "quick and easy" experience. Inside the Random dungeons there is at least one shrine-the Continuity Shrine. This shrine will give you around ¬-1/5 a level given that you are around the same level as the random dungeon. The Dungeons start a level 10. To get to the Dungeons, you must head towards the mines (Northeast corner of Aston). Once inside, go to Yendor's Apprentice and say "create <#>." You must start at RD 10, and go in order all the way to 99. To destroy a dungeon that you have created, say "list" and a list of dungeons that are being used appears. Once you determine which one was yours type "destroy <#>." Once you are inside a RD, you have 30 minutes to complete the shrine. Completion of the RD is achieved by killing at least 1 Dark Skeleton within the dungeon, and taking the Jewel of Yendor off of its corpse. Once you have collected the jewel, search the RD until you find the Shrine of Continuity, and any other shrine that you wish to use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section III: What do the shrines do? Shrines in the Random Dungeons have many different purposes. Please note that you can only use a shrine once! Continuity When used with the Jewel of Yendor from the dungeon, you will receive experience. This shrine is in every Random Dungeon. Security The Security shrine will give your character 1 save if you have less than 5 saves total (This is not able to be used by Hardcore Characters) Indecisiveness Using this shrine will remove 3 points from each stat, and return the experience to you to respend. DO NOT use this shrine if you have negative experience, it will cause you to lose experience, although it takes of the negative experience. Living on the Edge Using this shrine will take your saves and revert them into experience. I would suggest not using this shrine if you are more then +5 in the level to it or more then -10 to it. This is to prevent losing experience because of experience caps in the game. (Remember, Hardcore Characters cannot use this shrine, because they have no saves.) Bribery Using the Bribery Shrine will take gold in your inventory and covert it into experience. Welding The best shrine in the game, this takes two randomly selected Items that you are wearing removes the magic from one and places it on another. Be careful when using them, because you only receive 9 welds per character, and they are priceless. Jobless Using this shrine will remove any jobs that you have (level 20+). You will not receive the gold spent on the professions back when you use this shrine. Kindness This shrine will remove PK status from you, even if you have killed another player within the last 4 weeks. Death (RD 37) and Bravery (51) The Death Shrine, will Take all of your saves and kill you, most likely giving you negative experience. As a tip, use an LOE shrine before you use the death shrine, so that your saves do not go to waste. After you use the death shrine, you have now met the requirements to use the Bravery Shrine. When the Bravery Shrine is used, You will get a nice, health chunk of experience, and a The Brave title after you name in your description. Vitality This shrine will give you +5 mana or +5 hit points depending on your race. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section IV: What are the shrines on each level?
