The 'Get out of Hell free' Card is actually fairly useful when you don't have the time to crush grapes in the underworld, or just don't have the food to revitalize when you return after.

Giant of Walking Creatures: Gregarious, Belligerent Humbaba is the giant ruling over all creatures that walk, crawl, slither or sashay over Ur.

Giant of Exploration: Open, Unavailable, Evasive Lem, the wanderer giant. Responsible for travel, directions, and knowledge. What Lem doesn?t know is not worth knowing.

Primary Skill Affiliations Meditative Arts, Levitation, Transcendental Radiation, Martial Imagination, Piety

Giant of Trees: Persistent, Evergreen, Rigid Before Spriggan, no giant had ever imagined a tree. After Spriggan, no giant ever needed to, because he had already imagined them all.

iMG has many sources, one of them is Quoins. Quoins are those power-ups floating in the air. You are limited to 100 of the 'non-Qurazy' quoins until you upgrade. Depending on your play style, upgrading is optional, but genrally encouraged. 'Qurazy': The white, cloud-shaped ones Base: up to 250 IMG Always get these. Always. It's the most, easiest iMG available There is always one the 1st time you visit a location- after that it's about 20% chance. It's worth the detour iMG: The purple ones Base: around 15-20 IMG You should always get these too, UNLESS you plan on visiting the Ancestral Lands where they are worth more Mood : Green Happy faces Avoid these unless you have no other way to lift mood Energy: Green box lightning bolts Avoid these unless you have no other way to raise energy Time: Little clocks Award skill time reduction Avoid unless end of day Favor: Purple stars Award favor with Giant(s) Always get

iMG has many sources, the last of them are Activities. Doing certain things gives you iMG Some activities do not give iMG, but do later, with upgrades. In particular you should try to; Revere Icon(s) (11) Contemplate Emblem(s) (11) one per day- Listen to Music Boxes (25) (there are more, but they are rare) about every 12 hours. Items: Acquiring a 'never before seen' item gives you iMG. You don't actually need to USE the item, just own it for a sec. You can loan people new things to help boost free iMG. A few items spawn Quests, which give iMG on completion. Important note: If you get multiple, different items through auction at the same time, you will only get 'New item' recognition for the first one. The others will just 'no longer be new' anymore- this is a curently a known bug, so order accordingly with enough time in between item so they are delivered separately, or do not confirm delivery so they go to mail (you may need to log off for this).

Each player has a personal play space to develop as they see fit. Their 'Home Street' contains their home, and any resources they wish to share with any visitors. The reason you may want to do this is that you are awarded iMG each day for things people do on your home street. - but it wil mean your resources may not always be fully available to you. Visiting Stones: Visitors can come to your Home Steet at random through the Visiting Stones if you go to a visiting stone and allow it. <research home streets & possibility of 'private home street'> All home streets have a home. Knocking on the door is a request to enter their home. Some people may be uncomfotable with this, even though all property inside is protected.Don't take this personally if it occurs- it might just be that their place is a mess- which is more common than not considering the price of cabinets & shelves. Most home streets do not have a tower, but for those that do, the tower is open as the rest of the street.

Acquiring an Emo-bear will allow you to interact more creatively with the people of Ur; Allowing the basic actions of 'Hug' and 'High-Five', expansion is possible, allowing more options such as 'Kiss' and 'Moon' Also, having at least one plank in your inventory allows the 'splank' emote. <Draft>

iMG has many sources, Quests & your Home Street come next. Quests are generated for a number of reasons: You picked a certain Skill. You reached a certain Level. You acquired or used a certain object. A vendor or other game entity offered it. Quests are pretty much optional. Most are worth completing. All will stick in your log till you decide to do them. Most Quests are solo, but a few require you to do things with up to 3 people. This is not a problem- most of your fellow glitches have been there, so asking random strangers will usually help you realize that most people are happy to help for a few minutes. Your Rock: Outside of your house is a talking rock. In addition to other functions he awards you iMG daily. If you can choose between doing something on your street, or elsewhere- your street wins- but don't obsess over it. More importantly if other people do things on your street, he gives you iMG for it. This encourages Home Street development. Sharing is good.

Official documents are distributed by the Bureaucratic Centers. You need Bureaucratic Skills to purchase Bureaucratic documents, _except_ for 'Card Carrying Qualification'. I recommend purchasing these documents elsewhere, rather than taking up skill slots for a one-time action- unless you have other plans (reselling, unlearning). The 3 Bureaucratic Centers: Gregarious Grange in Groddle Meadow Baeli Bray in Muufo Chego Chase in Andra Card Carrying Qualification: At the bottom is the first document you should get. Anyone Level 4 or above can get this. Get: You can't have Your Papers without it. Your Papers: Needs: Bureaucratic Arts I Costs: 100 Above that you will see documents neccessary for riding the subway (which is cheap, efficient, and spans a lot of Ur). Highly recommended. At the top is a General Building Permit Needs: Bureaucratic Arts II Costs: 500 This is for towers. Building is very costly. Avoid until you are prepared. <Draft>

Here is the useful, but overrated 'Reshuffle Card'. I do not recommend this for personal use early in your game. You must be Level 5 to use it, and in general I'd much rather just wait for a new game day and busy myself in the meantime. This is a card which I personally find 'more costly' to use myself than to sell. I endorse buying it to get a 'partial reshuffle' (exposing 1 new card) - but I find that it sells on auction for better than the temporary aid I would get by using it. Later, when money is of less concern, you may find that employing this card is valuable. <Draft>

These crops are used in the preparation of a large assortment of foods.

Crops may be purchased from the Produce Vendor.

Crops can also be grown out of plots on homestreets or community garden locations:

<List locations>

Though anyone may plant, water, fertilize or harvest any crop, there may be rules at any particular location that suggest etiquette. If you like the rules, then feel free to join in!

Crops grow from seeds.
Seeds can be purchased from the Gardening tools and Gardening Goods Vendors.
If you feed pigs vegetables, then examine their poop, it will have seeds in it.

Batterfly guano is used to fertilize. It makes your crops grow faster. It can be found in some caves, or coaxed from Batterflies by feeding them.

Harvested crops stack 80 in your inventory.

At shrines you can check your favor with the giant of that shrine, or your favor with all gialnts.

Favor:
You can also donate most worldy goods in exchange for favor. Favor is roughly 10% of the items currant value.
The more valuable the item to that giant, and the larger the donation, the more favor will be recieved. You can increase the favor you will recieve by using...

Shrine Powder:
Fairly Hallowed Shrine Powder doubles the effectiveness of your donations while effective, and
Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder increases it more- likely triple!

Gifts:
Successful donations are sometimes rewarded with gifts, the most notorious of which is the

Gameshow Ticket:
A mystical spinning wheel appears, and will stay a limited time so that you may spin it!
That spin determines if you get something more valuable than the ticket- if anything at all!

On the top shelf is the Bean Seasoner, which can convert beans to various other 'seasoned beans' for planting. To the right we have the Egg Seasoner, which can convert eggs to various other 'seasoned eggs' for hatching by a chicken. The resulting 'hatched offspring' are below each egg. They do not like Towers, and complain incessantly. In a home they are quiet, thankfully. (this is my observation- clarification would be appreciated) Feeding the chick 10 grains results in a chicken. Feeding the caterpillar a bubble instantly results in a butterfly. Feeding the piglet 3 crops gives a pig.

?The Rook? is a collective noun referring to the evil, crow-like creatures who exist on the same plane as the Giants and are constantly buzzing at them, dive-bombing, attacking and trying to eat the Giants? imagination. The Rook is dark and opposes all creativity. And they will try to attack the game world, especially locations which are left a little too neglected ? For in-game info on the Rook go to the ?Mezzanine? in Jethimadh Tower (Jethimadh, Tower St West) [It's Educational] <verify exact location> <expand>

First step to knowing how to battle the rook is to know how NOT to. If someone rolls 'Rook' on the 12-sided die shown here, an almost believable Rook attack may take place. This fake attack is known as a 'Rook Roll', and is easily determined by the face of the magic rock still being in the top center of the screen. In real Rook attacks, this is replaced with an active Rook's head. Call to Arms: Battling the Rook is a cooperative effort. You can't do it alone! You could call your friends, but it's better to call others who are ready & waiting to answer the call! Rook Alerts is a group with a chat channel just for that purpose! <continue>

Anyone can do this. No skill is required.
It is quite costly in energy to use without the skill.
Currently this skill is not recommended, as there are no practical uses for crystals.
I assume this will change in the future.
