Beginner's Guide to Misticpets.com

-----------------------------------
THE BASICS
-----------------------------------

Joining the Site
http://www.misticpets.com/?r=39995
Register your account, await your confirmation e-mail, then validate your account and you're good to go! When you log in for the first time, you'll receive a message on the site with a few useful forum links, and the link to collect your free welcome pack of items.

Looking Around
http://www.misticpets.com/index.php
You find some of the site navigation links to your left (for example, "Explore") and some at the top (for example, "Items"). Click around a bit and see what you can find! Why not go look at your items to see your shiny new stuff from the welcome pack? You might also want to visit the preferences (around the bottom of the left navigation) and change anything that you want to - you do this by clicking the big buttons at the bottom of the "Preferences" page, such as "Profile Setup".

Exploring the World
http://www.misticpets.com/explore.php
There's a big world to explore, but be aware that some of the locations haven't been fully discovered yet and so you can't visit them for the moment.

Shopping and Trading
http://www.misticpets.com/shops.php
http://www.misticpets.com/user_trades.php
You can find the shops in their different locations on the map, but easier than that is to just visit the Shops page to see them all! Buy some food to feed your pet, or some toys for it to play with. Another option is to trade your items with other users, possibly a way to get some good deals.

Your Shop and Your Gallery
http://www.misticpets.com/user_shop.php
http://www.misticpets.com/preference...action=gallery
You can keep your own shop to sell items to other users in, and also an item gallery to show off your finds. Your shop can be a good way to make some money! Price comparison is available when setting prices, so you can see how your prices compare to other users' shops.

-----------------------------------
YOUR PETS
-----------------------------------

Create a pet
http://www.misticpets.com/createapet.php
Go to this page if you wish to create a new pet, to pick its species, colour, name, personality traits and gender. There are many species and colours available, so take a good look before choosing! You may have up to 5 pets.

Pet Pound
http://www.misticpets.com/pound.php
In the "Adopt" option, you can adopt pets that other users have abandoned, for a fee. On the "Abandon" page, you can abandon your pet for a fee instead! In the "Donate" section, you can help the pets in the pound out by donating the requested item, which will also gain you loyalty points.

Taking Care of Your Pet
http://www.misticpets.com/inventory.php
Your pet's hunger and mood will decrease over time, and to take good care of your pet you'll need to feed it and play with it. Food and toys can be bought in the shops, or alternately be received from the Pomme Tree, Giveaway, and other means. You can use your items on your pet from your inventory page, but you can also choose to place the items in your Toy Box or Food Box, shown on the right sidebar beneath your pet - this gives you easy access to the items whenever your pet needs them. To use the items, click the appropriate box, and then the item that you wish to use.

Increasing Your Pet's Stats
http://www.misticpets.com/battleportal.php
In the Training Room, you can train your pet for a fee. It's possible to increase all stats except intellect this way - intellect is increased by reading books to your pet.

-----------------------------------
PLACES TO VISIT
-----------------------------------

The Pomme Tree
http://www.misticpets.com/pomme.php
Pick a free pomme every day - it's a food that you could feed to your pet, or sell if you got a rare one!

The Bamboo Beach Resort
http://www.misticpets.com/bamboobeach.php
Make a quick visit for a daily good surprise. Extended stay costs 500 MC per day, and if you're having trouble taking care of your pet, it might be a good option.

The Forest Finds
http://www.misticpets.com/g_forestfinds.php
Search the forest and hunt for birds. If you find one, you get to keep it! Birds are among the items that can be attached to your pet, as a sort of "pet pet".

If you manage to get the item and return with it to him, he will give you MC in return - usually a greater value than the cost of the item, but if you bought an overpriced item in the user shops, that's not always the case. Remember to always look in the Mistica Shops and maybe a few other places first!
