Always attempt to identify a monster you haven't
fought before you get into combat with it. Click
on the monster, and press E (for Examine) or
click the magnifying glass. Even if you don't get
the statistics, you'll always get the level.
Be sure to go through the tutorial dungeon until
you're comfortable with the keyboard and the
interface. The target monsters in there give
experience (though not much), and you'll receive
a useful item at the end.
Learn to recognize the early warning signs of
impending lag, one of which is that your
character suddenly appears to be running through
jello. When in the wilderness, immediately stop
running until the lag storm passes, and if you're
in combat, get away as soon as possible.
The most useful keys for searching for your
corpse are the bracket keys ([ ]). These will
cycle through all the inanimate objects within
your range, including your corpse, should you be
near. Also, when you're running through the
wilderness, you'll sometimes come across the most
amazing items just lying on the ground.
When adventuring far from towns, or in
potentially hazardous areas, always have the map
screen open (press F10 to bring it up). Keep an
eye on your coordinates, especially when you're
in combat; if you die, jot down the location
where you died so you can find your corpse.
