 Value density is value in gold/weight in kilograms. The value in gold is what the item is worth if you sold it in the shop. Gold coins have a value density of 66. Density 10 will pickup silver, gold, rings, wands, books, and scrolls. Artifacts are also picked up. Whenever you move over a pile of stuff your pickup mode controls if and what you collect. You can always pickup stuff using the pickup command (,) regardless of your current pickup mode. Value density is value in gold/weight in kilograms.

 As a general rule, other Crossfire players will prefer to cooperate or at least leave each other alone. If you go about killing other player'​s characters you may not only risk their continued wrath, but the anger of the server administrator as well. Check out the house rules before you start slaying players. As a general rule, other Crossfire players will prefer to cooperate or at least leave each other alone.

 Most monsters in the game are out to mindlessly kill and destroy the players. Killing monsters will help boost a player'​s score. When fighting a large amount of monsters in a single room, attempt to find a narrower hallway so that you are not being attacked from all sides. Charging into a room full of Beholders would not be wise, instead, open the door and fight them one at a time. Most monsters in the game are out to mindlessly kill and destroy the players.

-7.2 Priorities for low-level characters+=====7.2 Priorities for low-level characters=====
 The priority for characters below about 5th level is to gain some basic items. In this regard, better armour and better spells are best. Look for a quest among the various islands that will allow you to obtain mithril mail. Whenever you scrape together ~100-200 platinum pieces go shopping for armour and weapons (or spells). If you are a fighter type, try to have at least a +2 weapon, +2 helmet, +2 suit of armour, and +2 shield before you reach 5th level. For wizards, attempt to recover enough treasure to be able to buy up good attack spells. For priests, first thing to do is worship a god! Try to get the holy word prayer as soon as possible. Make sure your current god allows good potential use of this spell. The priority for characters below about 5th level is to gain some basic items.

 For all classes, get access to the detect magic incantation as soon as possible. This will allow you to sort through the treasure you find while you're in the dungeon, and will save you time and money at the shops. For all classes, get access to the detect magic incantation as soon as possible.
