The Tool Bar
Just below the Menu Bar is a set of seven small icons. With
just a quick click, these icons allow you to get help; pick up and drop
things; cast spells; check the map; rest and get up; convey a mood, and
access Meridian Mail.
- Help -- Moves you immediately to the
Meridian 59 on-line Help area. From here, click any of the hypertext links
for specific information on your topic of concern.
- Drop -- When you click this icon,
a window appears listing all the stuff currently in your knapsack. Find
the item you want to drop in this window, highlight it, and then click
OK. The item is now out of your hands, on the ground at your feet,
ready for someone else to pick up.
- Get -- Click this to pick up any items
lying on the ground near you.
- Cast Spell --This icon brings up your
list of castworthy spells. Scroll down the list to highlight the one you
want to cast, and click OK to cast it.
- View Map -- When you click this icon,
the overhead Map appears in the Action Window. That small blue dot shows
your current position. The red dots are other entities -- human and otherwise
-- in your general vicinity. You can find out more about the Map in the
Action Window section just below.
- Rest -- Click this to sit down and take a refreshing break.
Guaranteed to restore your depleted health and vigor....eventually. You'll
get refreshed twice as fast if you are in an inn. You can talk to other
players while you're resting, but don't try to move around.
Had enough rest? Ready to get back on your feet and into the fray? Click
this icon again to Stand, and you're on your way.
- Read Mail -- This icon gives you access
to the Meridian Mail system, through which you can send mail to anyone
else on your server. See Meridian Mail
Service for more information.
