Main Game Window
This is where you can see the players, landscapes and creatures of Akarra. When you are in a fight, messages about the battle will appear in the bottom left hand corner of this window.
Chat Window
Conversations and messages messages appear in this box, as well as other notes about the game. When you receive experience in battle, or earn an attribute point, or the time of day changes, a message will appear here.
Life Bars
These three bars indicate your Health Points, Magic Points and Stamina Points. The fuller they are the better. Resting gradually refills the life bars.
  • Health Points are your life points. When your health bar empties completely you die. You can increase your health points by spending some APs on Constitution, or equiping certain items, such as the Golden Necklace of Health.
  • Magic Points are used to fuel spells. Mages and healers need quite a few magic points. You can increase your magic points by spending some APs on Faith. Some items can increase your magic points too, such as the Crimson Magic Robe.
  • Stamina Points helps you to run fast, and resist attack. When you run out of stamina, enemies will be able to hit you much more easily, you will have difficulty weilding your weapon and you will be too tired to run away with any speed. You can increase your stamina by spending some aps on Constitution. A simple Golden Ring can increase your stamina by 10 points. This is often one of the first stamina increasing items players use.

Movement Controls
You can move your character in the direction indicated by the arrows. Your character will continue to move in that direction until it encounters an object, or until you click the stop button, indicated by the five fingered hand.
