New Players

For completely new players we recommend reading through these:

Wiki

Warning, spoilers! The TFE Wiki 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:
Special thanks to Uni, Fung, Skarx, Nitia, and all other wiki contributors!

Item/Gear Catalog

The TFE Item Catalog allows you to search for items and gear by level, slot, stats, effects, etc. This can be essential for optimally gearing your characters!

This can also be accessed within Mudlet and players can contribute their in-game catalogs by installing a Mudlet package — see the README for more information.

Special thanks to Mojune for creating and maintaining this resource!

Stat Calculator Spreadsheet

This spreadsheet emulates the base stat calculations used in the character creation process. Use it to try out different configurations without rolling a new character.

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.

To install, unzip the XML file, then go to Toolbox -> Package Manager. Click on “Install new package” and select the XML file.

You may need to adjust the bottom border height (go to Options -> Preferences -> Main Display tab and set “bottom border height” to a larger value e.g. 10).

Special thanks to Uni for writing the code.

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.
