New Player Guide

Warning:

This page is in draft. Setting up layout.

Welcome! This game originally released as Ferentus, as a beta MMORPG, almost 20 years ago, then re-released as Herrcot, and again as Xiones, before shutting down entirely in 2010^?. A few years ago, a small team of dedicated players committed countless hours of their time reviving the old game client, setting up an emulation server, and brought us what is now FHX Restoration!

This guide will introduce you to the world they brought back to life and that so many of us have called home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

Join us on Discord for any questions or assistance you might need!

This section should walk the player through setting up their account and client, creating their first character, and basic controls and mechanics.

Creating your character

Once you have signed in to the server, you will be taken to the character select screen. Here is where you decide your character's name, race, class, and starting attributes.

The available classes are determined by the selected race. For an overview, visit Races and Classes.

The starting attribute points can be allocated yourself or simply click Auto to assign them based on the class selected.

Once you're ready, create your first character and join us in the world of Idios. You will spawn in the starting city, the Imperial Castle of Rog.

This section should have a snippet on how to change perspective, then a table of each perspective and their corresponding movement controls.

Help

Help Guide
There is a guide in-game that can be opened by pressing [F11]. The guide content is from the original games, so it may not be completely accurate, but it is generally helpful.

Shout
At level 5 you'll be able to use /shout in chat. This will send a message for anyone on the server to see. It can be useful for asking a high level cleric for buffs, getting a Revive to retain more XP after drying, or just asking for help on a quest. After sending a Shout, there is a 20 minute^? delay before you can send another.

Discord
Everyone is very helpful. Ask in the Discord if you have any other questions!
