Tips for General Usage Back to the top
- Support items, once spawned into the game, can be picked up by any player regardless of class or tier. A newly made character can pick up medic kits and use them to provide the team with heals.
- All support items are considered throwables. They do 5 blunt damage upon placement. As a result, they can be used to blow barrels and break barricades. Be mindful of where you use your support item.
- All medic items (with the exception of the resurrection tome) can be refilled by using the restore ammunition boxes or the shrine.
- You are able to heal your allies while refilling by left clicking while holding down F. By doing this, you can provide your team with a continuous stream of heals.
Using Tomes Back to the top
Because of the complexity of tomes, players have developed various safety measures and rules regarding use.
- Make sure you are only holding one tome! If you have multiple tomes in your inventory, all of them will be used at once. The same applies to barricades of the same type.
- When to use a tome: In most cases, you will want to use a tome when there are fewer than five players alive on a full server. Before using a tome, make sure the player who brought the tome (hereafter known as "tomebringer") has died first so that another tome may be brought in. If there are multiple tomebringers, it is advised that all of them die before a tome is used so that one tome can give rise to multiple tomes.
- Toming for Barricades: To defeat the most difficult bosses, you will often be required to tome for barricades. In this case, wait for the tome-bringers and barricade-bringers to die and before toming.
Safety Precautions Back to the top
- Wraith Cage: This method involves finding a corner and building a barricade in it while leaving enough room for the player to jump out and leave the confines of the barricade. The player then uses a tome with his back to the corner facing the barricade so that the wraith (if it spawns) will be trapped. The player can then either jump out of the barricade or, if he is well-equipped enough, turn around and kick/slash the wraith until it dies.
- Multiple Tome users: This method poses the risk of spawning two wraiths into the game, which may guarantee that the team wipes. To use this method, two players each need to pick up a tome. After acquiring a tome, the first (primary) tome user will run to a safe distance from the secondary tome user. If a wraith spawns, the secondary tome user will immediately use his tome.
Will need someone to provide the details on the surgeon's kit and master surgeon's kit. If I missed anything, feel free to post below and I will add it to the post. If any clarification is needed, ask below and I will try to answer to be best of my ability.

I would like to say this is not really a guide, but more of a wiki type thing.
_______________________________________________________________________________
The Engineer
_______________________________________________________________________________The engineer has the ability to aid his team by building fortifications, that keep the Nords in or out. Deploy ammo crates to make a more accessible refill for your ranged teammates. If you are so privileged to have an explosive barrel, or know someone who does you can blow up the nords. All engineer items ( deployable shield, barricade, heavy barricade, and explosive barrel.) are equipped in the support slot. There is only one "Engineer" item that can be equipped by medics or peasants, the deployable shield. You must be a certian level to see engineer items on the AH ( auction hall ) or equip a certian engineer item ( keep in mind you can pick up any engineer item off the ground ). Engineers cannot refill their barricades, deployable shields, heavy cades, small ammo crates, or explosive barrels ( unlike medic support items ).
All engineer items except for the dep shield are crafted by alchesmist. The dep shield is crafted by armorsmiths.
You can only see certian engineer items on the auction hall if you are the right tier.
Deployable Shield
_______________________________________________________________________________The deployable shield, or commonly referred to as dep or dep shield. Is useable by ANYONE who can afford it. It is the weakest of the fortifications you can build, and provides the least coverage out of the three. It can be deployed instantly by equipping the dep shield and clicking the fire/swing button ( commonly, mouse 1/left mouse button ). It ill deploy a few inches infront of where your standing. Keep in mind you may not be able to deploy fortifications in certian places. To remedy this simply move around a little to get a spot where it will deploy at. It can be used to effictively block the nords, create a funnel, or block ranged enemy fire.
Small Ammo Crate
________________________________________________________________________________The small ammo crate is the first item to be unlocked by going engineer ( unlocked at Tinkerer ). It is instantly deployed upon equipping it and then pressing fire/swing button ( commonly, mouse 1/left mouse button ). After deploying it any ranged teammate can refill his or her arrows/bolts/medic boxes/thrwoing weapons. Keep in mind this box can only be used once by one player to refill, losing most of its potential.
Barricade
________________________________________________________________________________The barricade, commonly reffered to as a cade, is the second item to be unlocked by the engineer ( tier 2, Apprentice ). This support item deploys a little differently from other engineer items. It has two stages of deployment. First you deploy the barricade as normal, like a deployable shield, instantly deploying it. It however is in a fragile useless state. It needs to be deployed by holding "F" when the screen reads "Deploy Barricade". It is quite like healing yourself at soup. Which means it can be interrupted, so do not run over the wood pile or infront of a person staring at a barricade pile. After you have finished deploying the Barricade it covers a fairly wide area, and is fairly resistant to attack. A friendly tip is to not stand on these barricades, they're two reasons for this. One, if the barricade is destroyed when you are standing on top of it, you will die. Two, if you are standing on a barricade it will make the nords attack the cade even more then usual.Ys I know its a heavy barricade, I didnt feel like taking two pics [Image: 2012_06_18_00008.jpg]
Barricades that are colliding are known to cause crashes if zoomed in on, while looking at it.
Heavy Barricade
_______________________________________________________________________________The Heavy Barricade, commonly referred to as h cade, heavy cade, or heavy, is the third item unlocked by the enginner ( tier 3, Engineer ). This support item deploys a little differently from other engineer items. It has two stages of deployment. First you deploy the heavy barricade as normal, like a deployable shield, instantly deploying it. It however is in a fragile useless state. It needs to be deployed by holding "F" when the screen reads "Deploy Barricade". It is quite like healing yourself at soup. Which means it can be interrupted, so do not run over the wood pile or infront of a person staring at a barricade pile. It is a little more then twice the size of a normal barricade. It is ALOT thinner then the normal barricade, however that does not mean it is weaker. Being thinner it can be lined up easier without aking up as much space. It is a little less wide then the normal cade. It is very resistant to enemy attack. A friendly tip is to not stand on these barricades, they're two reasons for this. One, if the barricade is destroyed when you are standing on top of it, you will die. Two, if you are standing on a barricade it will make the nords attack the cade even more then usual.
Barricades that are colliding are known to cause crashes if zoomed in on, while looking at it.
Explosive Barrel
_______________________________________________________________________________The Explosive Barrel, is the fourth item unlocked by the enginner ( tier 4, Siege Engineer ). It is equipped like a Small Ammo Crate, then deployed like a deployable shield. What this particular item does is either a gain or a loss ( I will explain how it can be a gain/loss later ). Once you've deployed the barrel, it sits in place till it is hit with an arrow/melee weapon/thrown object. When the barrel is hit, it explodes causing most nords to die in a large radius. When I say most nords, I mean some nords like Odin or Thor dont die from it ( I have seen this a few times personally, on a few occasions the barrel causes enemies to go invisible ). The barrel only effects bots/agents, not horses ( like Sleipnir ). The barrel can be exploded by enemies or players. The barrel kills nords, but gives no xp or loot in the process ( which is why its a gain or a loss ), but is useful for getting out of tight spots.
The explosive barrel is known to cause crashes. One remedy is to turn off casualty reports, it has worked for me.
The barrel does not work on elevated surfaces, but this is soon to be fixed.
Please tell me if you have any questions, or imrovements on this mini guide.
