BASIC INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR KRAFTIES HUD

HOW TO WEAR YOUR HUD

To wear your HUD- unpack your "Krafties - Necessity Pack v4.0
Right click the folder and "add to your current outfit"

This will attach your Creature Attachment, Tool:Right Hand, and Krafties HUD v4.0

The "Creature Attachment" is the object that will morph into your active Krafties creature
The "Tool:Right Hand" is that object that will morph into either your Standard Net or Pick Axe
The HUD will attach to the top left corner of your monitor. You can add the hud to any location on your monitor. Just detach and click "Attach to hud" , then choose desired location to attach HUD

USING YOUR KRAFTIES HUD This will take a little practice. The HUD is interactive and the more practice you have at opening the various apps and features, the better you will get. It will become second nature. Lets get started!

Information regarding the application icons:

The actual HUD can be moved anywhere on your screen.
If you click the "Krafties" logo on your HUD- you will see a pop up menu that gives you the option to resize. You can make the HUD bigger or smaller depending on your preferences.
The individual Icons under the KRAFTIES logo act as the icons do for your cell phone apps. You can click them and drag them to any desired location on your monitor. (some players have found that dragging each app icon up to cover the Krafties logo saves space on your viewer)

Once you open an application- the window has the following features-

Bar across the top of the window (color depends on the app you have open)- You can click on this bar and drag the HUD to any location on your screen
Grey icon (top right) - Minimizes the window
Red icon (top right) - Closes the window
Grey icon (bottom right) - Clicking and dragging this icon will resize your window. Your entire screen will appear faded. This happens during the resizing process. It will disappear when you let go of the icon.

Now you can try to open actual application windows.

Click the desired app to open- you will see a white window pop up in the middle of your viewer. Follow the instructions to open and activate the window.
The window will appear shaded. Double click the window and it will come into focus (activate). If you are having trouble activating the window- click the sky or the ground, then click the window again.
After you bring the window in "focus", you can navigate as desired.

THE LAYOUT OF THE ICONS

KRAFTIES HOME App (house icon)

This app contains your Bonded Creature, Unbonded Creature, Soul and Player Profile menus. When you click each icon, the menu will expand and you will see your bondeds, unbondeds, souls and player stats.

This app contains your Energy amounts and ALL of your Krafties loot and items.
Your energy is listed at the top of the menu Energy: Total (trans + no trans)
Click the arrows to scroll up and down through your inventory.
Running your cursor over an individual icon will highlight it "yellow".
Clicking on each item will give you a pop up giving the information for that item. Some of the pop-ups will have an icon where you can "activate" that particular item, or "show info".
"Activated" items such as nets- axes- amulets will turn from a yellow background to green, indicating the item is active.
There is a green bar on the left side of the Inventory app. Click this to filter items in your inventory.

Your Krafties loot is found in this application

Your Standard Net and Pick Axes are found in and activated through this application.

Locate either your net or axe, click on the tile for that item, then click "activate". You will see your item appear inworld, attached to your right hand. To deactivate or remove the item from your hand, simply re click the icon in your application, and click "deactivate" If you "detach" the net or your axe from your avatar inworld, you will need to re-wear the Tool:Right Hand, as detaching your item detaches that tool.

Amulets and Potions are found and activated through this application.

Locate the Amulet you want to wear, click the tile for that amulet. You will then get a white pop up, with an icon to "activate". Click that icon and you will see [05:04] Krafties HUD v4.0: Powering up amulet... appear in local chat. Your amulet is now worn and being used. If you click "show info", you will see the stats for that amulet in another white pop up.

Potions work the same way. Locate the potion you want to use, click the tile for that potion. You will then get a white pop up with an icon to "consume" or "show info".

Click "show info" and you will see the stats for that potion in another white pop up. Click "consume" and you will activate the potion and see[05:14] Krafties HUD v4.0: ACTIVATING ATTACK POTION appear in local chat. Click "consume" each time you want to activate a new use.

+'''PLEASE NOTE- IF THE START-UP APPLICATION DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY OPEN FOR YOU WHEN YOU INITIALLY WEAR THE KRAFTIES NECESSITY PACK, PLEASE RE-WEAR YOUR HUD'''
-*The first option is visiting the Krafties main sim, where you can visit one of the 4 Elemental temples and claim your first Kraftie. Click on the temple, accept the starter pet that is sent to you and rez it on the rez area. When you rez your pet on the ground in the rez area please DO NOT OPEN your pet and copy the scripts. You  will then be sent a Krafties Starter Pack, which contains your temples, HUD, and extras. Please do NOT decline your starter package as you are only issued one [FREE] one when you start the game. Detailed instructions on how to get started with your first Kraftie are located in the main store in the Notecard Giver next to the stone Rexie.

-*You  can also visit the Krafties main store on the Krafties sim and click the Stone Rexie statue in the doorway to claim your first pet.If you choose the Rexie to get started- you will be given a random element to start with, as opposed to selecting a specific element at one of the temples.
-*Alternatively, a player who has already joined Krafties may use their active creature or HUD to invite you to the game. A random creature sharing the elemental type of the the inviter's active creature will find it's way to you, and rezzing this creature in world solidifies the beginning of your Krafties adventure. Once you rez that Kraftie inworld for the first time, you are automatically sent a Krafties Starter Pack. Please make sure you accept it and don't decline, as you  will only be issued one [FREE] starter pack. In return for bringing you into the game, the inviter gets rewarded energy. There is a 75E reward awarded to the inviter when the member they invited reaches level 4 overall. Gold membership holders receive 150 E for the invite!

-*If you prefer a higher level Kraftie to begin the game with, you can search the markets for a Kraftie that has been bonded already, or search for a soul and an unbonded and bond them yourself. IF you choose to begin the game with one of these Krafties, you will not be able to claim a free "Starter Kraftie" from the main sim or from an invite- as when you wear that bought Kraftie as your first pet- it registers you in the database as having a "first" active creature. Once you rez or wear that Kraftie inworld for the first time, you are automatically sent a Krafties Starter Pack. Please make sure you accept it and don't decline, as you  will only be issued one [FREE] starter pack.
-*Finally- If you have a friend that is an active player in the game, they may "gift" you a Kraftie to use as your first.

Please make sure you accept it and do NOT decline, as you will only be issued one [FREE] starter pack.  The Kraftie that you receive be registered in the database as your "first Kraftie", and you will no longer be able to claim a free one from the Krafties Sim.

-=== Interacting with your [[Krafties Pet]] ===
-*After you rez your creature in world for the first time and it has "awakened" to it's [[element]], click it and you will see the [[Pet Menu]]. From the menu click "settings" then "set name". You will name your Kraftie in local chat. There are other settings in the pet's menu which you can explore at a later date. Once the Kraftie is named, take it back into your inventory, and then "wear" it. It will now become your active creature. Your active creature is used for battling, crafting, and making you look awesome as you travel all over Second Life! The longer you have a creature set to active the higher it's affinity towards you will be, making it deplete energy more slowly when the two of you are apart from each other.
-*A VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTE - BE SURE TO SAVE YOUR PETS UNIQUE ID IN CASE YOUR PET EVER GOES MISSING INWORLD. This is found by clicking your pet, then from the menu click "stats". Your pets stats will appear in local chat and they contain your pets Unique ID. Without this number we will not be able to locate your pet should something go wrong (ie. missing from inventory, losing it inworld, the pet breaking).

-#*near any of the Elemental temples or while wearing the [[Krafties Official Groups|Krafties Official]] group while in the [[Crafting Hangout]] if you are on the '''[[Krafties Sim]]'''.
-===Setting up "Home"===
+'''USING YOUR KRAFTIES HUD'''
-Home Temples are the gateways from the Krafties world to ours. They allow Krafties to traverse energy channels and manifest as physical lifeforms in Second Life, albeit weakened without the human bond that active Krafties share with their handlers.
+This will take a little practice. The HUD is interactive and the more practice you have at opening the various apps and features, the better you will get. It will become second nature.
-*The '''[[Home Temple]]''' lets you play [[Krafties (game)|Krafties]] wherever yo have permission to [[rez]], namely your home sim
+Lets get started!
-*These "Wild" Krafties will allow you to train and strengthen your active creature, as well as provide you with materials you can then use for crafting or to heal your creatures after battle. With the right tools they can also be captured and bonded with, thus joining you on your adventure.
-:;See [[Home Temple]] for more information
+Information regarding the application icons:
+*The actual HUD can be moved anywhere on your screen.
+*If you click the "Krafties" logo on your HUD- you will see a pop up menu that gives you the option to resize. You can make the HUD bigger or smaller depending on your preferences.
+*The individual Icons under the KRAFTIES logo act as the icons do for your cell phone apps. You can click them and drag them to any desired location on your monitor. (some players have found that dragging each app icon up to cover the Krafties logo saves space on your viewer)
+Once you open an application- the window has the following features-

+*Red icon (top right) - Closes the window
+*Grey icon (bottom right) - Clicking and dragging this icon will resize your window. Your entire screen will appear faded. This happens during the resizing process. It will disappear when you let go of the icon.
-== Acquiring New Creatures ==
-You are by no means limited to only one Kraftie, though you may only have one ''active'' Kraftie at a time. If you have a net, you can capture wild creatures which you can then bond with elemental souls or resell to other players. Likewise, you can purchase/obtain new creatures from other players who have done the work for you (bonded or unbonded).
+Now you can try to open actual application windows.
+*Click the desired app to open- you will see a white window pop up in the middle of your viewer. Follow the instructions to open and activate the window.
+*The window will appear shaded. Double click the window and it will come into focus (activate). If you are having trouble activating the window- click the sky or the ground, then click the window again.
+*After you bring the window in "focus", you can navigate as desired.
-The elemental souls that are bonded with the creatures are created using your crafting temple. Up to 9 other handlers may link their active creatures to your crafting temple. The more linked creatures, and the higher their levels are, the better the quality of the soul/item that is produced. Just like with creatures, you can simply purchase souls from other players who have crafted them if you wish to skip this step.
-=== Quality of Souls ===
-Souls that are crafted can have high or low stats, all depending on the situation when crafting and a bit of luck. These stats can be trained further once the soul has been bonded to a body (unbonded) and does not combine with the body's "Natural Skill".
-:;See [[Souls]] and [[Soul Requirements]] for more information
+'''THE LAYOUT OF THE ICONS'''
-=== Quality of Creatures ===
+'''KRAFTIES HOME App (house icon)'''
+*This app contains your Bonded Creature, Unbonded Creature, Soul and Player Profile menus. When you click each icon, the menu will expand and you will see your bondeds, unbondeds, souls and player stats.
-Creature quality is determined by a multitude of factors. Even if two creatures of the same species have been bonded with the same elemental soul types, they will be inherently different in their stats and traits. Each species has it's own strengths and weaknesses, and every single individual member of that species will show these strengths and weaknesses to varying degrees. These strengths and weaknesses are reflected in a creature's "Natural Skills", which you can view in it's stats. On top of this, there are trait variations that some collectors may prize more highly than others.

-There are many things to start doing although the best way to get started is by battling low level wild creatures to gain your basic starting levels and loot.  As you continue to train your Kraftie you will gain new abilities, skills and power.  Be sure to collect as much loot and items that drop from defeated wilds as they will become a great help on your adventure when it comes to crafting new materials and items.
