LabRat Report post Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) Q Can I be a mule? A Yes. Q How do I become a mule? A You need to use a "Mule Glyph". Q Can I become a mule and then stand by an NPC so the NPC looks like it is having a ride on me? A No. Press F5 ingame and read rule 17. You are blocking a resource. Q Where do I get a "Mule Glyph"? A You can manufacture them, or buy them from other players on the market channel. Q I bought a "Mule Glyph" and used it, but I turned back human after 30 seconds. A A mule glyph only lasts 30 seconds. Q How can I stay a mule for longer? A You need to have "Creature Food" in your inventory. Q Where do I get "Creature Food"? A You can manufacture them, or buy them from other players on the market channel. Q How does "Creature Food" work? A For each "Creature Food" you have in your inventory you stay as a mule for a further 30 seconds. Q What can a mule do? A A mule gives you a temporary increase in your EMU. Q How much of an EMU increase does being a mule give you? A To start with, +10% of your normal EMU at level 0, each level you gain increases that by a further 10%, up to 130% extra EMU at level 12. Q What can't a mule do? A Most things - trade with other players, harvest, get XP from fighting, cast spells etc. Q How do I gain a level? A You must be a mule for 800 "Creature Foods" per level. Q 800 "Creature Foods"?! Isn't that expensive? A It depends on your point of view. Personally I would happily pay to be able to increase my carry capacity. Q I was carrying a full load as a mule when I ran out of "Creature Food" and I can't move. Help! A You need to deposit or drop some items until your carry is at or below your normal EMU level. Q Can I shapeshift into any other animal? A Not at this moment in time, in future there are several different creatures planned. Q Can we have Donkey Rides? A ... Q My Mule keeps eating stuff from the floor A Yup, just keeping the grass/carpet/sand/snow/lava down. Q Can 2 mules (or a mule and the unicorn) make baby mules/municorns? A No. Sicko. Q How can I tell my mule's level? A Use the "eye" icon on yourself, "You see yourname. You are level # shapeshfting for the current creature!" # shows your current level. Q How can I change back from a mule to a normal player? A The slow way: wait until you have no potions left. The fast way: Use the Use (Finger) icon on yourself. Q Can you change maps? A Yes. Q Can you use storage? A Yes. Q Can you use NPCs? A Yes. Q Do I need to be a mule for 800 food constantly or can I do it a little at a time? A You can do it either way. Q Where can I get the "Creature Food" book? A Frukas sells the Creature Food book for 20k gc, it has 20k pages. Q Where can I get the "Mule Glyph" book? A Nahark sells the Mule Glyph book for 20k gc, it has 20k pages. Q What are the ingredients and requirements for "Mule Glyph"? A Note this recipe makes 40 "Mule Glyphs" at a time. Items needed: 1 Enriched Life Essence 1 Mixture of Power 40 Mule Skins Knowledge needed: Mule Glyph Required Nexuses: Animal: 5 Recommended Skills: Summoning: 48 Experience given: Summoning exp: 4200 Food subtracted: 30 Q What are the ingredients and requirements for "Creature food"? A Items needed: 1 Empty Vial 1 Refined Vegetal Mixture 15 Raw Meats Items required to have: Mortar & Pestle Knowledge needed: Creature food Required Nexuses: Vegetal: 5 Recommended Skills: Potion: 64 Experience given: Potion exp: 450 Food subtracted: 35 Q Can mules sit down? A No. Q I shapeshifted into a mule while I was sat down and now I can't move. Help! A Options window, Controls tab, disable Sit Lock. This is a known bug. Q Where can I buy Mule Skins? A Henrik in Tirnwood sells Mule Skins for 18gc each. Q I was a mule but reverted to trade with someone. I get the message "Can't trade, you or the other guy has a higher carrying capacity than normal." Help! A You are overloaded and cannot trade. Deposit or drop some items until you are at your normal EMU. Q Can I drop items into bags and retrieve them? A Yes. Q I see different coloured mules walking around. Can you explain why? A There are a number of mule colours, each colour means you have attained a certain mule level. Q Can I teleport? A If you use a ring or the portals room then yes. However you cannot use spells. Q On Day of fasting can I still consume mule food? A Yes. Q I have unanswered questions. Can I PM you? A Yes, but I probably won't answer you directly, I will more likely update this FAQ so everyone benefits.

Ermabwed Report post Posted September 27, 2008 Q Can 2 mules (or a mule and the unicorn) make baby mules/municorns? A No. Sicko. Actually, the correct answer is: No, mules are sterile Thanks for the FAQ though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raz Report post Posted September 28, 2008 A couple of things to add... Can you 'use' things ie doors (YES) Can you 'use with' ie secrets (????) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabRat Report post Posted September 28, 2008 Read the FAQ again - using a door is the same as changing maps. Use with is interaction. You can interact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moebird Report post Posted September 29, 2008 Is the 9 hours needed to level EL time or real time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghrae Report post Posted September 29, 2008 Real time and EL term are virtually the same. But if you are asking if you have to be in game? Yes. In game and in the form of the shapeshifted creature (i.e. Mule). Does not have to be 9 hours straight, just 9 hours total Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ateh Report post Posted September 29, 2008 well thats a sigh of relief, 9 hours non consecutively looks like i'll be walking around as a mule after all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LabRat Report post Posted October 1, 2008 I have reached level 10 mule \o/ That's right folks you saw it here first - I have reached the dizzy heights of 2016 carry capacity. Do I enjoy being a mule? Definitely, the sheer volume of people that want to talk to you, take screenies with you, ride you (o.O) etc makes it all worthwhile Have I enjoyed the levelling process? Honestly I have to say at times the inability to do anything productive ingame has driven me to distraction, but just spending a few days ingame doing nothing more than just chat to people and do the occasional bit of muling stuff to storage gave me time to do stuff irl Waking up and checking EL before I even have a coffee so I can update my AFK message has been fun too I like the way you change mule colour as you get to certain stages, but (as I said to Roja at beam) I like the brown mule best - it looks like a thoroughbred racehorse rather than a mule. The sheer encouragement from players ingame whenever I got to level the mule really helped me to shoot for the following level. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that provided the glyphs, hunted down food, even running to c2 for me to collect creature food and the hours of harvesting and potioning that went into providing me with the almost 9000 potions required to take me to level 10. To each and every one of you I offer my hearty thanks - I couldn't have done it without your help and support. To Radu and Roja I would like to thank you both for the effort you have put into the game and artwork, and having the patience to answer my questions when you both were extremely busy. Ah well, I had better run to the market channel - I only have 5 minutes left as a mule before my Creature Food runs out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
