My friends and I are running our own little Crossfire server and we love it. However we've found the web documentation on many aspects of the game to be, well, lacking. So I have a couple questions that I can't find any good information for.

I'm currently playing a Paladin and my god is Mostrai. I've yet to figure out how to raise my praying skill. Even though I cast 'cure light wounds' on myself all the time. I also have no idea how to raise favor, or whatever it is, with my god. I've killed truck loads of goblins and spammed pray on his alter for a good ten minutes, and I know that doesn't work.

Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thank you.

Previous thread in the forum on how to level praying..

You need to kill monsters with prayer spells to gain experience in praying, which then lets you cast higher level spells (available as random treasure and randomly in magic stores.)

The spells you want to look for (again, depends on which god you follow) are: holy word, cause light wounds, turn undead.

Depending on which god you follow, your level in praying and luck - you can eventually gain other benefits from praying on the altar such as weapon enchantment, special spells/prayers, etc.

i think turn undead don't gives you xp, it's just a fear spell.
the 2 others are the only way of gaining your first levels in praying if you don't party.

and even if you /do/ party.

A player must use praying themselves to get the skill first, otherwise they will have no praying skill_ob and party exp will go to general exp.

I see, thank you all. I do find it a bit silly that you can't get experiance for healing party members. But at least now I know what to do.

yes, at the moment it's hard to play a nurse on cf.

Another quick question: can Swashbucklers, Warriors, or anyone else wield two one-handed weapons at the same time? One would asume by the swashbuckler image that they could. But I've seen no two-weapon skill or anything.

No character class or race can dual wield weapons.

that would be interesting... how ahrd to implement? and how to prevent two super-enchanted yugi-type swords being used at once?
