 *To [[capturing wild creatures|capture wild creatures]] you need to position yourself close enough (you should get a message "resisted capture..." or "was captured!" if you are close enough when swinging).
 *Easiest way to position yourself and keep an eye on the wild's health for capture is to use ''mouselook'' (pressing <code>M</code> will enable the mouselook mode, and pressing it again or zooming out will disengage it). Normally you will not see your own avatar while in mouselook, so even if you are partially covering the creatures and have difficulty seeing their health orb, then mouselook will solve that.

-==Distance==
+===Mining===
 ===Home/Giant Temples and Battling===
-If your avatar is very large, then this might distort your perspective of distance, the wild creatures will dissapear if they do not detect anyone close enough to them. An example could be a Ancient Seawolf Dragon playing krafties, they might have to be sitting ontop of the [[Home Temple]] just to be able to fight the creatures that spawn. This will most likely make it difficult to click the creatures to interact with them.
+Your perspective of distance can always be distorted by your avatar's size, specially for larger avatars.
 *The [[Home Temple]]s have a '''20 meter radius''' that it uses to detect nearby players, if nobody is within it's chat-range then it will not spawn wild creatures for you. This is based on the location of your avatar center.
 *The range where the creatures notice you attacking them is considerably shorter, whisper range of '''10m radius'''
 ==Adjusting your Active Kraftie==

 Since Krafties game is played through your ''[[active creature]]'', you will want to be able to touch it easily. Default settings of pet might make that difficult, so here are some suggestions.
 :The "Creature attachment" from the [[necessity pack]] will attach to your ''avatar center'' by default, which is a location that does not move with any animations that effect your body. It is as steady as the little dot above your head (which indicates active voice chat).
-===Be the Kraftie! (Orb Mode)===
+===Orb Mode===
 You could make it appear as if you are the Kraftie while playing the game, by enabling [[Orb mode]]. ''Orb mode'' is a low-lag mode for the Kraftie which only leaves it's health orb above your head that is only visible when it is missing health. This mode makes it very easy to touch the orb since it stays above.
 #Touch your active creature
@@ Line 25: / Line 25: @@
 #Choose "Enter Orb" to enable it
 Currently the ''creature attachment'' will not remember the fact that you had it in orb mode and might behave weirdly after you relog or remove your necessity pack. You simply need to touch the pet again to enter/exit ''Orb Mode'' to fix this.
-===Stay put! (Disable "wandering")===
+===Disable "wandering"===
 By default the Kraftie will roam around you, but you can easily disable that in the [[pet menu]] settings. This does not disable it's animations though but that is also an option.
 *This allows you to move the pet to a desired distance and location from you (setting "elevation" isn't needed when you have disabled wandering).
-*It will still play as normal, walk when you walk, look around and sit.
+#Touch your Active creature
-==="Wear" the Kraftie===
+#Choose <code>settings</code> from the [[pet menu]]
-Want to make your Kraftie sit on your head or on your shoulder? You can easily wear the "creature attachment" on a different attachment point than ''avatar center'' to make it move with your body. But you would want to disable wandering first.
