Join Krafties
Joining will essentially register you on the Krafties servers as a player so it can keep track of your progress in the game. Once you have joined you will receive a Necessity Pack, a Free Starter Pack Temples (no trans set of temples) and a Free Starter Kraftie Creature (unless a friend has already given you a pet to start out with). If that is the case, then that Kraftie will be registered as your Free Kraftie, and you will not receive an additional Free one from us.
How to Join?
There are a handful of ways to join Krafties and start playing:
- Having your friend invite you, they just need to touch their pet and select "invite" in their Krafties menu while you are standing near them.
- Invite yourself by clicking on a friend's Kraftie and selecting join
- Clicking on any of the four Elemental Temples around the main sim
- Clicking on the Krafties Invitation Box that can be found outside the front right wall of the Krafties Store
- Obtain a "Necessity Pack" from behind the Krafties main store (big green box)
Once you have your Necessity Pack, you are ready to start.
- Please go to Joining Krafties for more detailed information about the process.
The Necessity Pack
You simply cannot play the game without it, so be sure to have one. They are free and easily optainable if you happen to misplace it. Inside your "Necessity Pack" you should have three items:
- Krafties HUD- A most necessary item!
- Creature Attachment- this will morph into your active Krafties Creature once you get started
- Tool Attachment- this will morph into items such as nets and pickaxes
To officially begin your Krafties Adventure, simply rez your Necessity Pack on the ground (make sure you are in a rez enabled area) and open it. Copy the items into your inventory. Right click on the folder that contains the items and "add to your current outfit". This will attach the HUD ( you will see it appear on your screen), the Creature Attachment and the Tool Attachment.
If you have not already watched the welcome/getting started video and are joining Krafties by obtaining a Necessity Pack first... a short start up video will play. Please watch the video in its entirety as it will present you with your Free Kraftie and Starter Pack.
Krafties HUD
Everthing you do on krafties requires you to wear your Krafties HUD, so it is important that you get familiar with using it.
The great thing about Krafties is that all information is stored on a external server, you cannot loose your pets or progress even if you misplace your HUD.
How To Wear Your HUD
To wear your HUD- unpack your "Krafties - Necessity Pack (most recent version)"
Right click the folder and "add to your current outfit"
This will also attach your Creature Attachment (most recent version), Tool:Right Hand (most recent version) as well as your Krafties HUD (most recent version)
- 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
