While magical healing does exist, and your player will naturally regain some health just standing around, you heal most rapidly by drinking alcoholic beverages and being intoxicated. You restore spell points the same way. This is because MUDs are primraily games for college students with questionable impulse control. There are many, many pubs on Darker Realms, with a wide variety of drinks and foods. There is even a quest dedicated to pub crawling almost all of them. Pubs have the following features in common: o Each will have a menu of available drinks and foods, with costs listed. o Drinks will provide an immediate healing effect as well as intoxicating you to heal more over time. o More expensive drinks will contain more alcohol and thus heal you more, but will require a higher player level to consume. o If you get intoxicated enough, you will not be able to drink any more until time passes. o You can eat food to sober up more quickly. Thus, if you can afford it, the common healing loop is: drink the most expensive drink allowed by your player level until drunk, then eat until sober, then repeat until healed. If you are trying to save money, drinking until drunk and then waiting for healing and sobering before drinking again is also effective, while taking more time. See also: hitpoints, score, shop.
