Not sure how to play RoF? Find you're dying too much? Baffled by how others are doing so well? Well they may just know more tips then you do! But that can change, by simply reading on. This thread covers the game of RoF and gives some helpful tips. Soon, you can be at the top of the game!
The simple game of Rituals of Fire.
Or not as simple as you think?
For your first time on the server, you will go through a tutorial about buying items, the lava, and more. Once you finish the tutorial, you are promoted to Player, and are let out to explore the lobby. A link will be coming soon to a new and improve guide to the spawn and lobby.
To enter the current loaded map, enter the end portal. Sometimes you enter this, the map will be flooded with lava, other times the lava has not been released yet, and you will have an opportunity to build a base. You need to gather resources to make a base, tools, decorations, and more. Quickly find and craft the tools you can, search for ores, fight or hide from mobs, have some shelter. Because soon the lava will be released, and your house will be put to the test. Once the lava has flooded the entire map and some time has passed, the round will end and you will be rewarded for your surviving skills! Your rewards are cookies, which are the money of the game and can be used to buy items at the store, and some ore to use for more powerful equipment! After some time in the lobby, the next map starts and you have time to gather resources and make a shelter like before, but this time, you keep the items you ended the last round with. Once you have made enough cookies from surviving, you can buy a rank up, which gives you a lot of new rewards. The more you play, the more powerful you get, until you are decked out with armor, weapons, and tools.!
Well, that was pretty simple! But there is a lot more to the game than that. Special items, different commands, and unique situations all enrich the gameplay. Want to know some of these cool features? Well read just a bit more, because we are now at....
RoF Tips.
-Wood, any anything made out of wood, melts. Don't use it to make your base!
-You get more cookies depending on your rank. You also earn more valuable ores as you rank higher.
-As you rank up, you will have access to more rooms in the store, which also means that you have access to better stores/utilities.
-Emeralds make you invincible for one minute.
-Pumpkins let you breathe underwater.
-Sand turns to glass when lava touches it.
-Sponges clear out lava in a 5x5 area when you place them.
-You do not die from hunger, you just go down to five hearts.
-Creepers DO explode, so be very careful with them.
-Don't try to heal zombie villagers. They may just explode with anger!
-You can not use lava or water buckets, but you can use a lava bucket as power for smelting.
-Ores generate randomly, but they do burn!
-When the round ends, you need to have at least 20 blocks of air around you, and can not be in spawn, near a spawn, outside the map/above the build limit or inside water. If you want to win cookies and ores.
-Use /t to check the remaining time for the round.
-Use /money or /ico to check your current amount of cookies.
-Use /ontime to check to see how long you have been playing on the server.
-Use /kit each round for an enderchest or potentially free items. (yeah, not quite)
-Use /mvs if you need to go to the map's spawn.
-Use /lsinfo to check the lava mood and the current loaded map.
- Use /lobby to return to the lobby quickly
-If you die from a grief or anything else unfairly, you can ask for an inventory restore from a staff member if they say no, do not ask again.
-If you want to avoid dying, try not to be a hero and run outside where there are multiple amount of mobs.
-Always try to be conservative with your cookies. It can assist you if you need to buy something specific from the store, or just want to reach the next rank up.
-Try to make your gameplay enjoyable. Don’t just make a small spawnhouse and sit there for the whole round, because that isn’t doing anything constructive for yourself or others. Try to expand your gameplay a bit, making each round that you play unique.
-It is always a benefit on your behalf if you have a crafting table and a furnace in your inventory at all times, placing them down when needed. If you can’t obtain either, the main shop sells them each for 1 cookie.
-It's very handy to make a farm when you are able to, or use a fishing rod to fish for food
-Use some common sense when playing. Follow the /rules, and respect the players and staff.
-Teamwork isn’t required, but it’s highly recommended and preferable amongst the players. Your partner(s) can be able to help you with making a base, providing you with tools, pretty much anything that can improve your gameplay as a whole. Always try to work in teams if possible!
And that's about it. If you have any questions, feel free to PM a RoF staff member, or just ask on the server!
Thank you RonaldoSkillz, Forseti, Shande, and anybody else who may have suggested tips that I foolishly forgot about.
Hope this was helpful!
