Tips[]

Make sure you set your keybindings so you can toggle between mouse view (moving the mouse around changes your view angle, cursor always in the center) and cursor view (need to hold right mouse pressed to change view angle, cursor is mobile on screen). With the former you can easily open doors, chests, read books. With the latter you can check single books in shelves more easily and steal items that don't belong to you and not just interact with them.

Before you enter a zone from the overland map there is stick with skulls which tells you the difficulty of the zone. No skull = base tier.

You can set in your settings that runic language is always accompanies by latin letter translations too (for books right click the book to see the plain title). That can be very useful on the overland map.

To send mail ingame go to a bank for public mailboxes or use a player owned mailbox you have permissions to. Enter the full player name. The basic mail price seems to be 5 gold. You can send a very short message buy filling out the subject line only. If you want to send a longer message you need to buy a blank sheet of paper (or if really long a blank book) from a book merchant and write and publish it first, then add it to the mail. You can add up to 10 items per mail (stacks count as 1 item), the weight determines the postage added to the 5 gold.
