#A TALE IN THE DESERT GUIDE HOW TO#

I've learned how to dowse for minerals and have spent a great deal of my time looking for rare ores and gemstones. I'm still currently undecided but there is plenty for me to do. Deciding which path or paths you want to choose may be the hardest part of the game. Each discipline has vastly different tests, all fun and challenging.

Body, Thought, Worship, Leadership, Conflict and Art. Finally, I put it all together and lightning struck! I was now an initiate! There are six other schools that you can study at. Then I ran back to camp and with the help of a few guildmates made the rest of the rope, canvas, boards and nails I needed to construct my tent. After I processed enough flax for 2 canvas and 6 rope I ran to the school and paid them to teach me how to manage construction sites. Like any good school, the School of Architecture requires tuition. To do this, you have to first learn project management. Today I decided to take a bit of a break from guild projects and initiate into the school of Architecture. The leveling treadmill is eliminated and even the most repetitious act seems fun, because you know what the rewards will be. The possibilities are endless and as we research the technologies available at the Universities, new ones are unlocked. The bricks could become part of a grand monument or used to expand your guildhall. Perhaps that straw will be used to lure a camel or combined with sand and mud to make bricks. Every task in Egypt seems to be building towards something - like gaining experience but so much better. It took two hours of everyone making bricks, but it was fun and well worth it when we saw the finished product. Just today, we built an obelisk for one of our guildmates. In Egypt, we work together to build great things. I've always been in great guilds, and we've gone on raids, done epic quests, but never anything like this. Never before in any MMORPG have I felt more like I was part of a team. If someone's not online, simply send them mail and they'll get it next time they log in. What is even better is the in-game email system, EgyptMail. You have your main channel, a channel for system messages, a channel for your guild (or guilds as you can join more than one) and channels you can open for anyone you want to send private tells to. However you can, and will, progress no matter how much time you can devote to it. Obviously, the more time you spend in the game, the faster you'll progress.

You can play for ten minutes and honestly get something done. The day I decided to quit Everquest was the day that I had been sitting at my computer for 6 hours straight and had accomplished absolutely nothing. If the doorbell rings, that's fine, you can go answer it. One of the things that first attracted me to this game is your ability to both have a life AND play the game. Will you or are you playing A Tale in the Desert? You can even spend your day just wandering around, looking at (and judging) other people's sculptures. You can be an architect, a trader or an artist. We have some in our guild who spend their day trying to find the perfect recipe or the best spot to grow cabbage. There are people who are trying to become great political figures.

There are no set 'classes.' You can explore all of Egypt looking for rare gems and minerals. No, this isn't where you go to character creation and choose a class and distribute your skill points. So, now that you're a citizen of Egypt, what do you want to do? Amazingly enough - you can do whatever you want. I was eventually able to build a shrine honoring her, something I was excited to do after all of her help. Through all of this, our mentor was there guiding us. After several more steps, we all made bricks and became citizens. From there, we were able to make stone blades and learn carpentry. We paid 2 slate as tuition and learned stone blade fabrication. For example, at first, we gathered slate and took it to the School of Architecture. There are several steps to achieving this and your mentor will guide you through them all. You arrive as a peasant and are given your very first goal: to become a citizen. When I first entered Egypt, she took three other newcomers in addition to me under her wing. When you first log into the game, you are given the ability to find a mentor. You're not left to flounder on your own in this game. Eventually all players will have to overcome his interference and build a Great Work in each Discipline. The Evil Stranger follows the progress of the citizens of Egypt and will do his best to sabotage their efforts, but in very subtle ways. He puts Pharaoh to the test and challenges him to have his people pass tests in seven different disciplines. Pharaoh has proclaimed his Egypt is perfect, but a mysterious Evil Stranger disagrees. After downloading the game from the official site () and patching, you enter the story.
