The following are common questions asked by new players and attempts to answer them.

How can I lower my roundtime?

There are many ways to reduce your encumbrance. In order of ease of access, they are:

  • If you're carrying boxes, get them opened at the locksmith pool, and make more frequent trips to get them opened
  • Make sure you're properly trained in Armor Use for your armor
  • Ask a wizard to cast Strength (509) on you
  • Find "a white crystal" (casts Strength (509)) either as loot in a pawnshop
  • Find a "black crystal" (casts Floating Disk (511)) and use it for your boxes
  • Find a Warrior and ask for Armor Support
  • Make sure your Strength and Constitution statistics are reasonably high, keeping in mind you can change your attributes 5 times before level 20
  • Find lighter containers
  • Drop excess inventory
  • Ask someone to help you lighten and/or deepen your containers with "notes," or purchase them yourself from adventurer shops (they look like, e.g., "a pale blue note")
  • Buy "a silvery blue potion" from adventurer shops or the SimuCoin store (reduces encumbrance by 100 lbs for 30 days, stackable)
