This quick walkthrough to starting your adventure in Discworld MUD will get your characters 5 points in Covert, Faith, Magic & Fighting, along with 8 points in Fighting.Defence, Fighting.Melee and Fighting.Unarmed.Striking before even entering the disc.

Note: This is not a copy/paste startup for people who do not know how to play, but step-by-step instructions on what I do when I create a new character. You are expected to already know how to do all the commands to complete each step. If you do not, then I recommend playing the game until you do, then restarting your character by using the “refresh” command.

1. Drop map, guide and sash.
2. Go to the Wizards guild room, accept the job, and complete it.
   (Note: the scroll seems to be outside, and not inside a room)
3. Go to the Assassins guild room, accept the job, and complete it.
   (Note: target seems to always be in another guild room)
4. Go to the Witches guild room, accept the job, but DO NOT complete it.
5. Go to the Thieves guild room, accept the job, but DO NOT complete it.
6. Go to the shop, then sell the champagne bottle and ice bucket.
   (Note: If you need a little extra money, you can get free torches from the night club and sell them at the store)
7. Buy a dagger, short sword, mace, flail, spear, hatchet, and shield.
   (Note: the shop downstairs has lower prices)
8. Shoplift Jagged Bone Sword.
9. Go to the river’s shore and Remove the heart from Garry Glue’s corpse.
10. Go to the Priests guild room, and offer the heart to Sek.
    (Note: This will not affect your alignment, but if you are going to be a priest then you should do the quest for your god)
11. Go to Warrior guild room, say yes, and complete all the tasks.
12. Go to the combat room and practice attacking the pumpkin with each weapon until their skill is 8; including misc, parry, blocking and unarmed.striking. Then practice your primary weapons to level 9, or until you cannot anymore.
    (Note: You seem to be limited in how many times you can attack the pumpkin, not in the duration of time you are attacking it. So make as few attack commands as possible, and allow each attack to stop naturally.)
13. Complete the Witches quest.
14. Complete the Thieves quest.
15. Sell/buy whatever gear you want for your character.
16. Choose your starting region, and Enter the Discworld.
