6.) There is no "best" skill. If there were, everyone would have it. All skills have their own pros and cons, and I suggest you look at the skill pages to decide for yourself what sounds good. As for weapon skills, each skill has it's own damage:speed ratio.

7.) The best armor for melee users is Titanium, the best for archers and mages is Trollhair. The best weapon is up for debate, however, you'll want to go with Titanium or Shagbark, regardless of what you use.

8.) Yes, but only to trade gold.

9.) From the homepage, click the 'Clans' link, select a clan from this list, or click the 'View New Clans' button to view the rest, then click the 'Request To Join' button. It's polite to ask the clan leader first, before requesting.

10.) Most of the dragons and unicorns you may see players riding were won in a raffle during the summer of 2008, and are only temporary. There is no way to obtain them, unless they are given by the dev team.

11.) Hold ctrl, click the item, release ctrl.

12.) Stamina is the black/white bar under your HP and Mana. Each time you swing a weapon, your stamina goes down (how much depends on which weapon). When your stamina is empty, you swing more slowly, less accurately and hit for less damage. Antidotes, Stamina Pots, fruits, vegetables and fishies restore Stamina.

13.) Click the 'Account' link on the OI homepage. Read.

14.) The blue-colored Cape of Caldera is found in the Worm Lair, behind a platinum-sealed door. If you don't have platinum, or aren't feeling brave, you can always buy from other players. Also, red, forest (green) and sky (sky blue) capes can be found as rare drops on most bosses or the Thak Knights in the Golem King dungeon. Certain players have also received purple, yellow or orange capes as gifts from the dev team, however, these are not for sale, and there is no way to obtain them as of yet.
