TFE Wiki
The Wiki is replacing the PDF. If you are looking to become a contributor, please reach out to Uni.
Warning, spoilers! This Wiki is an extensive guide to playing TFE – information on areas are provided in detail, what gear to get, how to do quests, how to get skills, etc. Highly recommended for new and old players alike: wiki.theforestsedge.com
Special thanks to Uni, Fung, Skarx, Nitia, and Pato for making this happen.

MUD Clients
If you are serious about this game you need a MUD client. Mudlet is recommended – use our set of basic triggers with it.
Mudlet Mapper
Here are some tfemudletmapper_v3 for getting started with using the mapper within Mudlet. Unzip the two XML files. In Mudlet, go to your Package Manager, select Install, and install both of the XML modules one at a time. Give the mudlet-mapper module a priority of 0, and the mudlet mapper tfe-mud a priority of 1. Check the Sync checkbox for both. Close and re-open Mudlet. Click the Map button within Mudlet and it should automatically start working.
Special thanks to Corim for providing the mod, and Uni for sharing his map.
Mudlet Autoreconnect
Here are some step by step instructions on how to setup your own autoreconnect program. Shooth is expecting folks to die of starvation and dehydration, so please do not disappoint him.
Special thanks to Milthian for writing the code, and Uni for documenting.
Mudlet Gauge
Here is a gauge example v3 utilizing the newly implemented gmcp functionality. Download the zip file, import the xml into Mudlet as a module and it should start working. May need to configure bottom border height (Options > Preferences > Main Display tab > bottom border height 10)
Special thanks to Uni for writing the code.
Mudlet Tabbed Chat
Here is a tabbed chat system that utilizes OpenWindows function within Mudlet, allowing you to tab the windows or drag them whatever you want independently.
Special thanks to Uni for writing the code.
