health will be added to food you can feed your pups.

(Note that on Amethyst Mountain because of the shape of the terrain, the top of
the World Map is actually NE on the compass.)
Available Mission Icon: Hunting, social encounter missions, and den
locations appear in the direction you will find them as you move on the map.
Bright white icons are closer. Dim icons are farther away.
Active Mission Icon: When you have entered the mission area, the icon will
appear as a mission badge above the compass and you will hear a sound. Now you
can search for the mission target using your scent view or sight.
Mate location indicator: The small heart at the bottom of the compass
moves to show your mate's location when it is BEHIND you. Think of this as a
rear-view mirror for your mate.

toward it and a white arrow will point down to the animal and its health bar
will appear.

in the lower left of the screen. Four pie slices will show the quality of the
territory you have created by marking with Raised Leg Urination (P key) or
Howling (H key).
MULTIPLAYER
Starting or joining a multiplayer game requires an activated
WolfQuest Community account. Get one free at http://www.wolfquest.org/bb. Your
account name will be your wolf's name in all multiplayer games. You do not have
to post on the forums to play the game. Abusive players will be banned from the
forums and games. Report abuse at http://www.wolfquest.org/abuse.
An open game is open for all players to join. A private game requires a
pack name and password to enter the game. The player hosting the game sets the
pack name and password. Share pack names and passwords privately, such as via
Private Message or email.
There are three types of chat. Choose the best one when starting a
multiplayer game:
Lexicon Chats the limited chat feature that WolfQuest has always
offered, allowing you ton communicate with other players in your game session.
When chatting, you can only use words in the WolfQuest chat lexicon, which
includes about eight thousand common words. When the chat window is active, type
a message and press RETURN or click the Send button. The message will be
filtered through a list of allowable words. If a word is replaced by "???," it
is not in the list. Messages with missing words will not be sent to other
players. Correct your message to include allowable words an send again. If you
don't want to correct the message, delete all text and press send to close the
window. The chat window scrolls down to keep the most recent messages in view.
When the chat window is active, you can scroll back up the chat to see previous
messages.
Phrase Chat is even safer, for it limits all chat to canned
words and phrases. You can construct sentences by selecting them one after
another, then click Send.
No Chat: For the ultimate in non-verbal gameplay (and the safest
form of multiplayer), choose this option.
C: Activate the chat window to send messages or review older messages.
H: Howl starts a rally.
J and K: Play back affiliative behaviors, either as "emoticon" behaviors
when interacting with your friends, or to add to a rally.
Pack Rally
Press "H" to start a Pack Rally. The rally panel shows the name of the
player starting a Pack Rally. All other players have a limited amount of time,
shown by the timer wheel, to come close enough to that player to go on with the
rally. The rally will start if the yellow bar reaches the top before the timer
runs out.
When the display changes to a blue bar and says "Rally!" players must do
affiliative behaviors (H, J, K keys) to bring the blue bar to the top before the
timer runs out. A successful rally gives a +2 strength bonus.
Strength Bonus
Each player receives a +2 strength bonus that lasts for a limited amount
of time. The bonus increases the damage a player does when biting prey. Only one
bonus can be in effect at a time. If a rally succeeds while a bonus is already
in place, that rally is just for fun and does not restart or increase the bonus.
