Understanding Your User Interface
The User Interface is the first thing you’ll see when you enter the world. You
can adjust your view by using your mouse wheel. To zoom into a first-person
perspective, push your mouse button forward. To pull back for a bird’s-eye
view, roll your mouse wheel backward. Note that whenever you right-click
a window screen, you can change its opacity setting, making the screen be-
hind it more or less visible. You can also change the interface color.

A Note About Status Bars
There are three Status Bars that you need to keep an eye on in
order to be safe.
Health Bar (red). A full bar indicates 100 percent Health. An empty
bar means you’re dead.
Stamina Bar (blue). Using Abilities you acquire by using your Skills
will drain Stamina. You will only be able to use an Ability if you have
Gamma (green). This bar measures the amount of energy you
have to power your Mutations. Like Stamina, if you do not have
sufficient Gamma, the Mutation you are attempting to use will
fail.
Attributes. Click for the Attributes Screen, where you can see tabs
You can also select the Attributes on which you wish to spend APs.

to equip and un-equip items. You can expand or collapse the menu on
the right to see the statistical values for each of your buffs. Right-click
the items in their slots to view their properties, such as weight.
Pack Button displays your Pack, where all the items you pick up on
your travels are stored. At the bottom of this window, you can see how
many chips you have. These are listed in the order of ones (white),

Controlling Your Character: Movement
W and S move forward and backward, A and D strafe left and right, and
Q and E pivot left and right. To change direction, you can also press Mouse
2 (right-click and hold), then move your mouse. Hold down Mouse 1 and
Mouse 2 to move forward while changing direction. Press z to jump.
You can alter your keyboard setup in the Options Menu (aO), under Hot-
Keys.
How to Interact with
Non-Player Characters (NPCs) :
Mouse over NPCs at close range to display their name and occupation.
NPCs who give missions have icons above their heads, and labels identify
their status, faction affiliation, and so on. If you can interact with an NPC, a
chat bubble or icons with performable actions pop up. To address an NPC,
right-click him or her.
Right-click an NPC to talk or trade.
Merchants :
The Grand Canyon Province’s thriving economy is based on a poker chip
currency. Poker chip icons appear on your Mini-Map, marking the locations
of nearby Merchant NPCs who will sell you anything—food, medicine, weap-
ons, or ammo. Some specialize in training people for chips, which is useful if
you’re looking for special survival tips.
Looting :
After killing an enemy, you can loot the body by right-clicking it at close
range. Frequently, a window appears with items that you can take from the
corpse. Occasionally, you will be given the option to harvest, allowing you
to gather crafting materials from dead animals.
Getting Started 11
Equipping Your Character G
There are twenty slots for equipment, ranging from shoes, greaves, and
pants, to necklaces, eyewear, and hats. To view your Gear (equipment you’re
wearing or using), press G.
Your Gear adds to your damage resistances but will eventually suffer the
affects of your adventures. Luckily, any skilled armorcrafter should be able
to give you Tool Kits with the correct materials to fix up your Gear. Your
items will eventually become completely useless if they go below the mini-
mum functional condition. While in the Gear Window, you can also click the
Weapons Tab to look at the stats on any weapons you have equipped on
your person.
Armor Gear Weapon Gear
Missions J
Press J to view your Journal and see any missions you may have. The Jour-
nal can hold twenty-five missions at once, tracking them according to their
origin. Other buttons track your progress, share missions with team mem-
bers, and abort missions entirely.
In the Journal, there is a button that tracks your progress for that mission, a
second button that lets you share certain missions with your team members,
and a third button that aborts the mission.
Sharing missions is usually more efficient, as it reduces the required re-
sources and time for completion. Certain missions cannot be shared, such as
those that require the use of a specific item given by an NPC, or those that
are part of a mission chain.
12
Character Advancement
As you progress through Fallen Earth, you will learn and improve essential
Skills and Abilities, such as how to use a weapon, treat an injury, develop
special powers, or dodge an attack. There are four Attributes categories:
Stats, Active Skills, Mutations, and Tradeskills.
Stats
Stats represent basic Attributes and give an idea of an individual’s strength,
agility, and intelligence. They relate to physical endurance, mental dexterity,
social magnetism, creative intelligence, technical ingenuity, and an aptitude
for using extra-sensory Abilities.
An Attribute’s stats determine the base values for Active Skills and Mutation
Paths, as well as limit the maximum possible values for Tradeskills. Special
Abilities and equipment can raise or lower stats; for instance, wearing heavy
armor temporarily reduces the Coordination Attribute.
Basic Stats
Abilities fall into eight categories:
Charisma affects Group Tactics, Social Skills, and the Telepathy
Mutation Path; many missions can only be undertaken by characters
with a high Charisma.
Coordination affects the Athletics, Armor Use, Dodge, and Melee
Skills, as well as Reflex Save. Raise your Coordination to increase
your Defensive Abilities.
Dexterity affects Pistol and Rifle Skills, along with the Reflexes
Save. Dexterity increases long-range Offensive Abilities.
Character Advancement 13
Derived Attributes
Derived Attributes further describe a character’s traits, but unlike primary
Abilities, they cannot be directly modified by spending APs. Instead, they
are determined by a combination of Basic Stats and are updated immedi-
ately as those stats change.
Gamma powers your abilities. If you deplete your Gamma, you must wait for
it to replenish before using another Mutation. (Intelligence & Willpower)
Body defines a person’s resistance to invasive Special Abilities, such as poi-
sons and disease. (Endurance & Strength)
Health represents the damage one can take before becoming incapacitated.
(Strength & Endurance)
Mind is a defense against mental attacks, such as Telepathy. (Intelligence &
Willpower)
Reflexes help you quickly sidestep Special Abilities (e.g., an Acid Spray).
(Coordination & Dexterity)
Stamina defines the amount of energy you have before exhaustion sets in.
Stamina is a product of Endurance and Willpower. (Endurance & Willpower)

Endurance affects Health, Stamina, and the Body Save; it factors

into Armor Use, Athletics Skills, and the Empathic and Patho-Trans-
mission Mutation Paths. Endurance increases your survivability.
Intelligence affects Gamma, First Aid, and Group Tactics Skills, all
Tradeskills, Nano-Manipulation, and Telekinesis Mutation Paths, as
well as Mind Save. Raise Intelligence to max out the First Aid Skill
or to use Mutation Paths and Tradeskills.
Perception is a secondary component in many Skills, including
Dodge, First Aid, and Pistol. It factors into Sonic Influence, Suppres-
sion, and Thermal Control Mutation Paths.
Strength determines Body Save, Encumbrance, Melee Skills, Primal
Mutation Path, and Health. Raise Strength if you wish to play a Lightbearers
melee character.
Willpower primarily determines Stamina and Gamma Attributes, as
well as Mind Save. (All Mutation Paths factor in Willpower, so raise
Willpower if you wish to use Mutations.)

Faction Overview
There are six factions in Fallen Earth. Each faction has two allied factions,
one archenemy faction, and two enemy factions. For example, the Enforc-
ers are allied with the Techs and Lightbearers. Their archenemies are the
CHOTA (a.k.a., the Children of the Apocalypse), and their enemies are the
Vistas and Travelers.
New missions, ranks, NPCs, and restricted Knowledges become available as
you gain favor with a faction. You gain Faction Points with your faction and
its allies by completing missions for them, but that also loses you points with
your enemies and archenemy faction.
There is no way to gain favor with everyone equally. Alliances allow you to
change your faction by working your way around the wheel. In the earlier
stages of the game, switching factions is not hard, but the longer you are
part of a faction, the more difficult it becomes to change.
Each faction has different specialty Skills, Mutations, and Abilities. For ex-
ample, Enforcers are particularly good at combat, while Lightbearers are
gifted at using Mutations. Each group also has faction-specific equipment.
You will also be able to pick up many techniques from allies, independents,
and various vendors.
Some faction-specific Special Abilities are listed on the next page.

While players that remain neutral will have a wide-ranging game experience
due to neutrality with all factions, they lack the deeply immersive experience
of gaining rank and power within a faction. For more in-depth information

Crafting & Combat Items
The apocalypse is a dangerous place. To survive such a harsh environment,
you’ll need the right kind of Inventory, Weapons, Ammunition, and Armor.
Inventory I
Pressing I opens the inventory system, which combines storage slots with
an encumbrance system based on the weight of the objects carried. Every
player has sixty-four slots and a maximum allowed weight that is determined
by Strength. You may be unable to carry an item due to unavailable slots or
an insufficient weight allowance. Vehicles also provide additional Inventory
slots.
Inventory slots also determine the weapons you can quickly equip during
combat. Every character has slots for six equipped weapons with associated
HotKeys, so it takes about a second to switch between weapons. You can
also cycle through your equipped weapons by pressing c and simultane-
ously using the mouse’s scroll wheel. Swapping armor requires opening the
Inventory Window and dragging items into the character profile or double-
clicking the item.
Additional items can be stored in vaults: Sector Vaults in any town, Barter
Vaults in Barter towns, and Banker Vaults that are accessible only in special
Banker towns. If you are a member of a Clan, sometimes you can have access
to a Clan Vault.
Crafting & Combat Items 23
Weapons
There are three basic types of weapons: melee, pistols, and rifles (see
Combat for full details). You are more likely to encounter makeshift items
(such as a pistol fashioned from a paintball gun) until you develop the Skills
needed to scavenge or craft items. Players not interested in crafting will be
able to purchase upgraded weapons through Merchants or other players.
Weapons wear out over time and require regular maintenance by using
Weaponry or Ballistics Repair Kits.
In general, melee weapons do massive amounts of damage at close range,
while rifles are great for precise, long-range combat. Characters special-
ized solely with one weapon type will have a tough time during certain en-
counters: rifles penalize your defenses in close-quarters combat, and melee
weapons are worthless at range. Meanwhile, pistols are something of a bal-
ance between the extremes. They’re versatile and can be used at short and
long ranges, but they don’t do nearly as much damage as the best weapons
in the melee and rifle classes.
Ammunition
Like a lot of manufactured resources in the Grand Canyon area, ammunition
can be hard to come by. Note that each type of ranged weapon has its own
type of ammo.

Armor
Twenty different armor slots allow you to protect yourself from head to toe.
Initially, the armor items in these categories reflect either the remnants of
old-world technology or things that survivors have cobbled together from
the materials at hand. You’ll see items like motorcycle jackets and Kevlar
right alongside scrap-metal plating and sandworm hides.
As the game includes a dozen or so different types of damage, not every
type of armor can be effective against every type of damage. Characters
may sometimes need to equip a gas mask or other specific item based on
the threats they face. Players are free to mix and match armors of different
types and faction alliances to suit their needs, while also creating a unique
look for their characters. Each armor item has its own style and stat modi-
fiers.
Crafters are an important part of the armor system because they make all
kinds of armor, whether based on the skins of mutant creatures or advanced
polymers and composite materials. Armor wears down as it takes damage,
but can be repaired with an Armorcraft Repair Kit.

Crafting & Combat Items 25
Vehicles
Vehicles exist to provide players with transportation, extra storage, and ad-
ditional combat options. You can acquire the resources to craft a vehicle that
you can then sell or use. The Nature and Science Tradeskills are used in craft-
ing vehicles. Nature provides access to horses, feed recipes, and Veterinary
Kits, while Science is used for all other vehicles. ATV recipes are acquired
through missions and provide the foundation for making all the other types
of vehicles. Science allows you to craft various fuels (gasoline, biodiesel, bat-
teries) and Repair Kits. Vehicles can be damaged through use and in attacks
carried out by NPCs or PCs in PvP zones.
The horse is the first type of mount you can access. It can go much further
than an ATV or a motorcycle without having to refuel, but lacks the speed
of engine-driven vehicles. Horses refuel with feed, and Veterinary Kits repair
them. If you let horses rest, they will recover energy on their own. You may
store your mount by speaking to a Stable Manager. Some mounts come with
extra pack space. Riders may fire shots while mounted, but Melee Attacks
are not possible while mounted on a horse.
Other vehicles—such as ATVs, Motorcycles, and Dune Buggies—have sever-
al different features. Some of them have built-in guns that can be fired while
driving; others allow you to discharge your personal firearm during the ride.
There are electric-, biodiesel-, and gasoline-fueled vehicles. Improved ver-
sions of each type of vehicle are available, and many provide extra Inventory
space. You can store up to five vehicles by speaking to a Garage Manager.
If your vehicle is damaged, you can pay a manager to tow it to the garage.
The cost will depend on the distance towed.

Crafting
Crafting is an integral part of survival in the Grand Canyon Province. Ev-
erything from the best medicines to the most dangerous weapons are con-
structed out of raw materials. You may craft things from raw materials using
Tradeskills. Scavenging, Nature, and Geology—which are known as “gath-
ering” Tradeskills—have their own benefits and support the other crafting
Tradeskills. Harvesting nodes are scattered throughout the world. They show
up on the Tactical Map as piles of junk, rocks, and plant symbols. Knowledges,
Skills, or various items might be required in order to harvest from a node.
The crafting is real-time, but you may queue items to run while you perform
more immediate tasks. Most items can be created in a few minutes, though
the most impressive, difficult, and expensive creations can require days of
effort, or longer! There is no chance of failure during the crafting process—if
you have blueprints, materials, time, and the Skills, you can build it. Pressing
L opens your Recipe Window, displaying a list of your Tradeskill Knowledg-
es. Clicking one of your Knowledges will display a list of each recipe you can
make with your current Inventory. Crafting continues to progress whether
you are logged in or not.

Combat
Fallen Earth features many open PvP areas, so it’s essential to be prepared.
The game uses the accuracy of First-Person Shooter (FPS) combat with the
damage tally and character advancement of a Role-Playing Game (RPG),
which means that it combines a shooter-style aiming reticle with attacker
and defender statistics in order to determine the results of combat.
Combined Attacks
Some Abilities can be used with attacks, such as a special Melee Attack go-
ing off when you swing your axe. An example of this type of Ability-attack
combination is a melee move called Smash 1, which you can locate in your
toolbar.
The combat system has three important elements: the reticle, hit calculation,
and damage calculation.
Aim Mode
To swing a weapon, go into Aim Mode by clicking the middle mouse button
(or t). You exit Aim Mode the same way. You may interact with objects and
characters in the world while in Aim Mode by placing the reticle over them, at
which point the reticle will change into the appropriate type of cursor.
Once you are in Aim Mode, left-click to attack with a two-handed weapon
or a one-handed weapons that you hold in your right hand. If you have two
weapons, right-click to attack with the weapon in your left hand.
Targeting & The Reticle
To enter Aim Mode, press t or click the Middle Mouse Button. You’ll see
a set of crosshairs or a circle at the center of the screen. That’s your target-
ing reticle. It is used to aim every weapon in the game. Reticle size matters:
The smaller the reticle, the more accurate your attack will be, since a direct
target is a direct hit.

Favored Crow

Hit Calculation
Once you have a target in your sights and you click your mouse, the system
picks a random point inside your reticle for the attack. Note that with ranged
weapons, how close the crosshairs are indicates your accuracy. Accuracy is
affected by your stance (upright, prone, and so forth), rate of movement,
and other factors. (The higher your proficiency with the weapon and the
more slowly you move, the tighter your crosshairs will be, making your at-
tacks more accurate.) The system checks the selected point to see if there’s
a target there. If so, you score a hit.
Damage Calculation
If you hit something, the system compares your Skill to the target’s corre-
sponding Skill: Dodge for a Pistol or Rifle Attack; Melee Defense for a Melee
Attack. The target’s proficiency can modify the amount of damage done, plus
provide the chance for a critical hit. The target’s armor, special Abilities, Muta-
tions, and usable items are also considered. Damage is also affected by where
you hit the target—a head shot does more damage than a leg hit.
Weapons
There are three basic weapon classes: melee, pistols, and rifles. Melee weap-
ons can be anything from a rough club to an exquisitely balanced sword. Pis-
tols range between improvised and elite, including things like homegrown
zip guns, revolvers, and submachine guns. Rifles range from simple cross-
bows to rare and powerful sniper rifles.
Melee weapons do massive amounts of damage at close range, while rifles are
great for precise, long-range combat. Characters specialized in one weapon
type will have a tough time in other encounters: rifles penalize your defenses
in close-quarters combat, and melee weapons are useless at range. Pistols are
versatile and can be used at short and long ranges, but they don’t do as much
damage as the best weapons in either the melee or rifle class.

Special Abilities
All characters have Special Abilities that augment the basic combat system.
For example, a character with a high Pistol Skill can learn the Pistol Whip
Ability to knock down an enemy during a fight.
Special attacks increase damage, introduce status effects (like knockdown
and stun), or even debuff an opponent’s Abilities. Defensive Special Abilities
(like Armor Maintenance and Second Wind) boost your armor rating tem-
porarily or increase your Stamina. The use of some Special Abilities requires
items, such as bandages for Stanch Wounds.
Health & Healing
Your Health Bar measures the amount of damage you can sustain before
becoming incapacitated. You gain five Health Points each time you level, but
this can be improved by as much as 50% more if you max out your Strength
and Endurance Attributes. You can also use medical items created by craft-
ers to boost Health.
Access to First Aid Skills will speed your recovery, and remaining well-fed
and hydrated with food and drink items lowers your necessary downtime
during exploration. The tradeoff to such readiness is having less room in
your pack for other items.
Healing Mutations also repair wounds and damaging effects, though using
Mutations costs the healer Gamma (and sometimes Health) for the effort.
Healing effects are stackable, so healers are free to combine any of these
methods in order to keep a teammate (or themselves) alive.
Death
When your character’s Health is reduced to zero, you are incapacitated for
up to five minutes. During this time, a teammate may resuscitate you by
using a Mutation Ability or medical item; otherwise, you automatically res-
urrect in the nearest LifeNet pod. A trip to the LifeNet pod is available for
anyone who doesn’t want to wait out the full five minutes.
When you resurrect, you suffer penalties to your XP or stats. The more often
you die within a short span of time, the greater these penalties become. In
no case does a dead character leave a lootable corpse behind, so there’s no
stealing a player’s gear, mount, or vehicle.

Game-Play Basics
Moving. W and S move forward and backward, A and D strafe left and
right, and Q and E pivot left and right. To use a control panel or switch, use
: (Right Mouse Button) to click it. You can also use your mouse to move by
simultaneously clicking and holding both L (Left Mouse Button) and : to
move forward. While holding down both buttons, move your mouse right
to go right, and left to go left. Arrow keys (W, Z, A, S) may also be used
for movement.
Crouching. When sneaking past opponents, it is a good idea to crouch by
pressing C. While crouching, NPCs will not detect you if you remain behind
them. Press C again to exit this mode.
Jumping. To jump, press z. Jumping can get you into areas that you
cannot reach otherwise.
Prone. To go prone, press P. Movement while prone is very slow, but NPCs
who are not facing you will not detect you, and it allows you to get to areas
that you could not otherwise reach. Press P again to exit this mode.
Ladders. To climb a ladder, move next to it. Climb up with W and down S.
Looking Around. To look around when you are not in Aim Mode, hold down
: and move the mouse in the direction you want to look.
Flashlight. You can turn on a flashlight by pressing F.
Missions Window. Press J to access this window. In the middle left of
the screen is the Mission Window, which lists all the missions you currently
have. Selecting a mission from the list will give you a short summary of the
mission and each individual goal for completing it. Missions in red text are
above your level, missions in yellow text are roughly equal to your level,
and missions in green text are below your level. Missions are grouped by
their location.
Waypoints. Waypoints show you where to go to complete a mission. They
appear as a RED X on the Tactical Map located in the upper right corner of
the screen. If the waypoint is on the edge of the map, it is more than fifty
(50) meters away.
Symbols. A green symbol above a converser’s (NPC’s) head means you
have completed a mission for them. A red symbol above a converser’s head
means you have not yet completed their mission. A yellow symbol above
a converser’s head means they have a mission to offer you. A gray symbol
above the converser’s head means they have a mission for which you are not
yet qualified.

Equipping Items. Double-L an item in your Inventory to equip that item.
Alternatively, you can L-and-drag from the Inventory Window to the Gear
Window, use the pop-up menu (: an item to display its menu) on the Inven-
tory Window, or double-L the weapon on your character.
Skills. Attributes determine the base Abilities of your character, such as Hit
Points, Stamina, and resistance to Special Attacks. Skills determine how well
you use items, such as weapons and armor, and what Special Abilities you
can access. Mutation Paths allow you to access Special Abilities and must
be gained in the game before you can spend APs (Advancement Points) on
them. Tradeskills allow you to craft items. Attributes, Skills, and Mutation
Paths are raised with APs. Tradeskills are raised through use.
Conversing. To talk to a Non-Player Character, : the character.
Getting on Mounts. : a vehicle or mount to get on it. These allow you to
move faster, but limit your usable weapons while on them. They also con-
sume fuel or food as they move. Vehicles and mounts may be attacked and
destroyed or killed, though they may be repaired or healed.
Driving Vehicles. : a vehicle to get in the vehicle. Once in, use W to accel-
erate, S to brake, and A and D to turn left and right. You may use pistols
while on ATVs or motorcycles and rifles while on horses, but you may not use
weapons while driving other vehicles.
Repairing Vehicles/Mounts. Stand close to your vehicle so the Vehicle Win-
dow opens in the upper right part of the screen. A button to repair your
vehicle is available in the bottom half of that window. Click that button to
repair your vehicle if you have an appropriate Repair Kit (or Veterinary Kit in
the case of mounts).

Combat Basics
Aim Mode. To swing a weapon, you first need to go into Aim Mode by
clicking > (Middle Mouse Wheel) or t. Note that on some computers >
is mapped for other applications and so is not available to the game. You
exit Aim Mode by either using t or >. You may interact with objects and
characters while in Aim Mode by placing the reticle (crosshairs) over them, at
which point the reticle will change into the appropriate type of cursor.
Attacking. Once you are in Aim Mode, L to attack using two-handed weap-
ons or one-handed weapons in your right hand. If you have two weapons, :
to attack using the weapon in your left hand.
Reloading Your Weapon. Press R to reload your weapons. If you are using
two weapons, it will reload both of them simultaneously.
Scope Mode. Some rifles come equipped with scopes. To use the scope,
hold down B while in Aim Mode.
Weapons Cycling. To cycle through your weapons, press and hold c and
turn >, or use c and a number key.
c0 = Put Weapons Away
c1 = Right Back
c2 = Left Back
c3 = Right Hip
c4 = Left Hip
c5 = Right Thigh
c6 = Left Thigh
Attack Abilities. Some Abilities are used along with attacks. Once these
Abilities are used, they will go off the next time you make an attack with
an appropriate weapon, such as a special Melee Attack going off when you
swing your axe. These attacks hit whatever is in your reticle and is in range.
An example of this type of Ability (a Melee Attack called Smash 1) is in your
Action Bar.
Special Abilities. If you have learned a Special Ability called Stanch Wounds
and want to use it, L your intended target and either L the icon in your Ac-
tion Bar or press the number key associated with that Action Bar Window
slot. Special Abilities are learned through missions or Knowledge books and
consume Stamina, Gamma, or items when used. All your available Abilities
are displayed on the Ability Window, which is opened with N.
Stances. Some Abilities called Stances give your character Attribute modi-
fications for as long as the stance is active. Characters can only have one
stance active at a time.
Game-Play Basics 41
Community & Communication
Chat Channels. The Chat Channels in Fallen Earth are highly customizable.
You can have as many Chat Tabs above your Chat Window as you like, and
each tab can be set to have any combination of these various channels:
Combat. Shows damage dealt and taken, plus status modifiers.
Local. Communicates with people within a few hundred feet of you.
Region. Communicates with everyone in your current section of the Plateau.
Team. Lets you discuss strategy with just your team.
Clan. Enables easy socialization with your entire group.
Officer. A channel just for ranking clan members.
Auction. For the buying and selling of valuables.
You can rename each Chat Tab, or toggle the Display-Only Option for a tab
(which keeps you from accidentally speaking while on that Chat Tab).
Emotes & Slash Commands. Emotes change your character’s visual expres-
sion of their emotions. Slash commands are another way of selecting actions
you wish your character to perform. Most emotes and slash commands can
be located by clicking the plus sign ( + ) at the beginning of the Chat Line.
You can also type /ignore add name and then someone’s name (e.g., /ig-
nore add name AnnoyingPlayer), if you wish to forbid a character from com-
municating with you anymore, or /unstuck if you manage to get trapped
during the course of your adventures. (Note that the /unstuck command
actually kills you, which allows LifeNet to reconstitute your body at the
nearest available cloning facility.)
Grouping. Form teams by inviting other nearby players or using the Social
Interface (: a name on the Online Players List). The team leader determines
the loot rules that will be used by the team. If you want to form a cluster of
groups for major activities, you can convert the team into a raid.
Trading & Selling. You can trade chips or barter goods with nearby players
by using the various options in the Interface Window. You can also travel to
barter towns to put goods up for sale at the auction house. Each auction
costs a surcharge on the goods sold, based on the value of the goods and
how long the auction is.
Mail. Messages, items, and chips can be delivered to other players using the
Mail System. Mailboxes, represented by white envelopes on the Mini Map, are
found in most settlements throughout the Grand Canyon Province. Click your
mailbox to access mail, remove items, or send messages to your friends.
42
Miscellaneous Notes
APs (Advancement Points). You spend APs by selecting the tab of the At-
tributes Window you wish to spend points in and then clicking the individual
Stat, Skill, or Mutation Path. You can then click the Up Arrow at the bottom
of the Attributes Window to select the number of points you wish to add to
the Ability. You may do this with multiple abilities on a single page. Clicking
Apply will activate all these changes and spend your APs.
Using APs. Statistics cost five APs per point to raise. Skills and Mutation
Paths cost one AP per point to increase. Stats have a base value of your level
+10 and a maximum of 150 percent of their base. Each Skill and Mutation
has a base equal to a ratio between two stats. For example, Rifle is based
on seventy-five percent Dexterity and twenty-five percent Perception. The
maximum value for a Skill is twice its base.
Crafting. To make an item, press L to open your Recipe Window. If you
have all of the required components for a particular item under that recipe,

Agreement
THIS USER AGREEMENT AND LICENSE (this “Agreement”) DESCRIBES THE TERMS BY WHICH
Fallen Earth LLC. (“FALLEN EARTH”) OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO AN ACCOUNT (THE “ACCOUNT”) TO
PLAY THE FALLEN EARTH™ ONLINE POST APOCALYPTIC ROLE PLAYING COMPUTER GAME (THE
“GAME”). BY PRESSING THE “I AGREE” BUTTON OR OTHERWISE INSTALLING OR PLAYING THE
GAME, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY PRESSING THE “I
DECLINE” BUTTON, YOU DECLINE OUR OFFER, IN WHICH CASE YOU MAY RETURN THE GAME TO
YOUR RETAILER FOR A REFUND CONSISTENT WITH YOUR RETAILER’S RETURN POLICY. If you have
any questions regarding these terms and conditions, please contact customer service at support@
fallenearth.com.
A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT CAN BE FOUND ON THIS DISK UNDER THE DOCUMENT NAME
“Fallen Earth EULA.html”.
1. Accounts are available only to adults or, in their discretion, their minor children seventeen (17)
years or younger. If you are a minor, your parent(s) or guardian(s) must complete the registration
process, in which case they will take full responsibility for all obligations under this Agreement. By
clicking the “I Agree” button and providing us with a credit card number, you represent that you are
an adult and are either accepting this Agreement on behalf of yourself or your child. Except as pro-
vided herein, you may not transfer or share your Account with anyone, except that if you are a parent
or guardian, you may permit one child seventeen (17) years or younger to use the Account instead of
you (in which case you may not use that Account). You are liable for all activities conducted through
the Account, and parents or guardians are liable for the activities of their child. Corporations and
other legal entities are not eligible to obtain Accounts.
2. To play the Game, you must (a) purchase the Fallen Earth game DVD-ROM (the “DVD-ROM”),
which includes software required for the Game (the “Software”), (b) have a fully paid Account, and
(c) have an Internet connection (which we do not provide) to access your Account. In addition to any
fees described herein, you are responsible for paying all applicable taxes (including those we are not
required to collect) and for all hardware, software, service and other costs you incur to access your
Account. Neither this Agreement nor your Account entitles you to any subsequent releases or new
versions of the Software, nor to any expansion packs or similar ancillary products. You understand
that we may update or otherwise enhance the Software at any time and in doing so incur no obliga-
tion to furnish such updates to you pursuant to this Agreement.
3. We may amend this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion. Amendments shall be commu-
nicated to you at the time you log into your Account. If you do not agree to be bound by any future
changes, you agree to discontinue use of the Game and terminate your account. If you use the Game
after we have posted a change to this Agreement, you agree to be bound by all of the changes.
4. You represent and warrant that you have completed, or that you will promptly complete, all in-
formation in the new Account registration form provided by us (“Account Creation”) correctly and
completely. You must select a Username and Password during the registration process. You are
solely responsible in all respects for: (a) all use of the Game made using your Username and Pass-
word; and (b) maintaining the confidentiality of your Username and Password. Only one individual
may access the Game at the same time using the same Username and Password. You agree to notify
us immediately of any unauthorized use of your email address, Username or Password or any other
breach of security regarding the Game of which you are aware. Fallen Earth may refuse to grant you
a character name that impersonates someone else, is protected by trademark or other proprietary
right law, is vulgar or otherwise offensive, or for other reasons as determined by Fallen Earth. In
EULA 47
the event that any of your Account Information changes in the future, you agree to promptly update
such information. We never ask you for your password by telephone or email, and you should not
disclose it this way if someone asks you to do so. There may be an additional charge to reissue lost
passwords. Although we may offer a feature that allows you to “save” or “remember” your password
on your hard drive, please note that third parties may be able to access your computer and thus your
Account and you are responsible for their actions.
5. We describe our fees and billing procedures at http://www.fallenearth.com/pricing, which are
incorporated herein by reference. All fees are prepaid and non-refundable, and are stated and must
be made in U.S. Dollars. Upon your acceptance of these terms, we will automatically charge your
credit card the Account fee plus any applicable taxes we are required to collect, and you authorize us
to do so. Thereafter, on the applicable anniversary, we will charge your credit card the then-current
renewal rate plus any applicable taxes we are required to collect, and you authorize us to do so. If
we are unable to process your credit card at a renewal period, your Account may be immediately
terminated.
6. This Agreement (including your Software license and your Account) will terminate immediately and
without notice if you breach this Agreement or infringe any third party intellectual property rights, or
if we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us, or upon gameplay, chat
or any player activity whatsoever which is, in our sole discretion, inappropriate and/or in violation of
the Fallen Earth™ Code of Conduct, which are posted at http://www.fallenearth.com/codeofconduct
and are incorporated herein by reference. If this Agreement is terminated under these circumstances,
you will lose access to your Account for the balance of any prepaid period without any refund. We
may terminate this Agreement if we decide, in our sole discretion, to discontinue offering the Game,
in which case we may provide you with a prorated refund of any prepaid amounts.
7. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we hereby grant to you a personal, non-transferable, non-
exclusive license to use the Software solely in connection with playing the Game via an authorized
and fully-paid Account. You may not copy (except to make one necessary back-up copy that contains
all Fallen Earth copyright and proprietary notices), distribute, rent, lease, loan, modify or create de-
rivative works, adapt, translate, perform, display, sublicense or transfer the Software. You may not
copy any of the written materials accompanying the DVD-ROM. You may not reverse engineer, disas-
semble or decompile the Software except to the extent that, this restriction is expressly prohibited
by applicable law. The Software may contain license management software that restricts your use of
the Software. Fallen Earth reserves all rights not expressly granted to you.
8. We and our suppliers shall retain ownership of all intellectual property rights, including all copy-
rights, relating to or residing in the DVD-ROM, the Software and the Game. The Software is a “com-
mercial item”.
9. You agree not to use any third party software to modify the Software to change Game play. You
also agree not to use our intellectual property rights contained in the Game or the Software to create
or provide any other means through which, the Game may be played by others, as through server
emulators. You may not take any action, which imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large
load on our infrastructure. You may not sell or auction any Fallen Earth characters, items, coin or
copyrighted material.
10. Former members whose Accounts have been terminated by Fallen Earth may not use the Soft-
ware, access an Account and play the Game in any manner or for any reason without the written
consent of Fallen Earth. Active members may not knowingly allow former members whose Accounts
have been terminated to use the active Members’ Accounts or login name or player name.

11. As part of your Account, you can upload content, including but not limited to graphics, to our servers
in various forms, such as in the selections you make for the Game and in chat rooms and similar user-
to-user areas (collectively, your “Content”). You are solely responsible for all Content that you supply in
accordance with the Game. Without limiting the foregoing, you represent and warrant that your Content
shall not: (a) infringe any third party copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right, or other
contract, proprietary or publicity/privacy rights; (b) violate any law or regulation; (c) be defamatory,
obscene, child pornographic or harmful to minors; or (d) contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time
bombs, cancelbots or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally
interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information. We
may take any action with respect to your Content if we believe that such may create liability for us
or may cause us to lose (in whole or in part) the services of our Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”) or
other suppliers. You hereby grant to us a fully-paid, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free,
sublicenseable (through multiple tiers) and transferable right to publish, transmit, post, display, perform,
sell, copy, modify, and distribute the Content in any and all formats, media, and technology platforms,
whether currently existing or developed in the future. You acknowledge, however, that Fallen Earth does
not pre-screen Content or communication over your Account and play of the Game.
12. We have adopted and maintain a Privacy Policy which is posted at http://www.fallenearth.com/
privacypolicy with respect to users of the Game, which is incorporated herein by reference.
13. WE PROVIDE THE DVD-ROM, THE SOFTWARE, THE ACCOUNT, THE GAME AND ALL OTHER
SERVICES “AS IS.” WE, AND OUR SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDI-
TIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Without limiting the foregoing, we do not ensure continuous, error-free,
secure or virus-free operation of the DVD-ROM, the Software, the Game or your Account. Some
jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights,
which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from any causes beyond our reason-
able control. Further, we cannot and do not promise or ensure that you will be able to access your
Account whenever you want, and there may be extended periods of time when you cannot access
your Account.
We may in our discretion modify the feature availability, operation, and/or look and feel of the Game
from time to time without notice to you
14. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR AFFILIATES OR OUR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY
THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(HOWEVER ARISING, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR
ACCOUNT, THE GAME, THE DVD-ROM OR THIS AGREEMENT. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD
PARTIES IS LIMITED TO $100.00 (One Hundred U.S. Dollars). Some jurisdictions do not allow the
foregoing limitations of liability, so they may not apply to you.

regarding your use of the Software, your access to your Account and your playing of the Game. With-
out limiting the foregoing, you may not download, use or otherwise export or re-export the Software

ment shall be brought in a court in Wake County, North Carolina. If any provision of this Agreement is
held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be
