The Game Screen

Game UI

1. Inventory

In the upper-left corner of your screen, you'll find your inventory, which contains the items currently in your possession. Upon starting the game, you are provided with the following items: a Beginners Horse, a Bronze Dagger, a Bronze Pickaxe, a Hammer, a Net, a Tinderbox, and a Bronze Hatchet. Clicking on an item in your inventory allows you to perform various actions such as equipping, unequipping, using, or consuming, depending on the item's function. It's worth noting that the inventory has no storage limitations, allowing you to carry an unlimited number of items.

2. City Menu

To the immediate right of your inventory, you'll find a column labeled "City Menu." This section enables you to choose from a range of activities available in each city. Adjacent to the City Menu, you'll see the name of your current location.

Below the City Menu, there is a player list featuring various player names. By clicking on a player's name, you can view their attire and opt to attempt thieving. Directly beneath the player list, there is a section for dropped items. Any items on the ground will be showcased here, allowing you the option to pick them up.

3. Map

On the right side of the screen, just below the minimap, you'll find a "View Full World map" link. Clicking on this link reveals a comprehensive map of Remer Island. At the map's bottom, there's another link allowing you to explore the world of Syrnia. Following this link, you can click on individual links to access maps of all the other islands, including Skull Island - the legendary home of pirates.

To move between towns, simply click on the name of an adjacent town on the map. A timer will then appear, and you will commence walking towards the selected town.

If you direct your attention to the middle-right section of your screen, you'll find a visual representation of each game skill arranged in a column.

Additionally, various statistics such as your playtime and the number of creatures you've defeated are available.

Syrnia offers a diverse range of skills for you to develop, and skill progression is dependent on Experience (Exp or "xp"), earned each time you engage in a skill.

Just slightly above the skill icons, starting from the top, you'll see:

10. Location Name & Description

The name of your current whereabouts along with a detailed description of the location below. Any invasions or events will be prominently showcased here. When a user selects an option in the "City Menu," the displayed Location description will be replaced with information related to their ongoing action.

Remer Island

Remer Island

Now that you're acquainted with the playing screen, let's delve into the game itself. By this point, you've reached Rynir Mines, where you can commence mining Tin and Copper ores. Once you attain level 10 mining, Iron ore becomes accessible. Combine Tin and Copper ore in equal amounts to craft Bronze armor, weapons, and equipment. Equip your pick and choose either "Mine Tin" or "Mine Copper" (refer to Mining for details).

If exploration beckons, head north to Lisim. Here, you can fish Shrimp with your net. Upon reaching level 5 and acquiring a rod, you can also catch Sardines, Herring, and Mackerel. As you progress, Trout becomes an option. Check Fishing for more details.

Continuing north to Valera, you can purchase Mules or visit the Training Grounds. Before entering combat, make sure you're equipped with armour and a weapon suitable for your current level, along with a supply of cooked fish or crops for healing. Optionally, consider building a house for secure storage of GP and valuable items (250 or 750 wood to build, refer to Combat for details).

Post-Valera, you have two choices. West leads to Endarx, where you smelt ores into bars and then forge items with a hammer (see Smithing). North of Endarx lies a dead end with the city of Rile, featuring a school for training Construction and Trading skills up to level 10 for GP (see Construction and Trading).

East of Valera is the city of Isri, where you can Woodcut with a hatchet. Seeds found during woodcutting can be planted on farmland at your house/s (750 GP buys a small 25-slot farm made with a spade). Continue further to the right to reach the market city of Eully, where you can engage in player trading, auctions, and quests. Visit Quests or Magic for details.

South of Eully is the city of Harith, ideal for cooking fish provided you have sufficient wood and a tinderbox equipped. Harith is also home to Remer's House of Floral, where you can sell flowers and send bouquets to other players (see Cooking).

The final stop on the Remer Island tour is Port Senyn, where you can fish using a small boat. Catch Pike, Cod, or Salmon once you achieve the required fishing levels. For a fee, set sail for Dearn Island, and later, The Outlands when you have the necessary levels. With your boat, travel across Syrnia for free, noting that certain boats are faster than others.

Warning! The Outlands is a PvP area where you can fight and be killed by other players. Entry requires 60 Total skill levels or a Combat Level greater than 5 to protect newer players.

Vote for Syrnia

We've introduced a new voting system to welcome fresh faces to Syrnia, including newcomers like yourself. In this system, you can cast votes on 7 links daily on topsites, earning a crystal per link (totaling 7 daily). Accumulate these crystals to redeem rewards, specially designed to assist new players in acquiring items that can be sold for GP in Eully if not needed. To access the voting system, look for a link called " How to support Syrnia? " beneath your inventory. Click on it and then select "Vote for Syrnia" (Option 1). Follow the instructions to cast your vote and claim your crystals.
