Hiya Newb =)
it's easy
to do regular chat
just hit enter and type your msg
here's the low down
/say - hi
/g - /group - So and So tells the group "hi"
/guild - so and so tells the guild "hi"
/shout - so and so shouts "hi"
/ooc - so and so says in ooc "hi"
/auc - /auction - so and so says in auction "hi"
/t - /tell - so and so tells this person "hi"
also to reply to a /tell when someone sends you a tell, just hit r
btw there are short cuts to chats
just hit / then a the shothand or type it out heh
or when replying to a tell just hit r
and when sending a tell just hit t
there are also server wide tells LOL but won't get into that, I
don't even use it.
hope that helps for that chat
casting is easy, just gotta memeroize the spell then click on it to
cast, make sure you have something targeted you want to cast it on,
DD - direct damage
DOT - damage over time
those you wanna cast on the enemy of course ^_^
then there are shields and healing spells that you want to cast on
yourself and friends hehe
