Basics: Clothing and Items help you survive!

Lego Universe is stock full of different ways to customize yourself. With several hats, pants, shirts and more! But did you know that certain clothing can help you in battle? Well this chapter of the basics will explain what clothing, and items can do for you!

Individual Item Bonus
Certain clothing like seen here will aid you by increasing your storage. The item shown here, Engineer Pants 3, has the following characteristics: It increases your Armor storage by 2 (+2) and it Increases your Imagination storage by 2 (+2). This item doesn't have any special abilities, but if it did, the abilities would be displayed there.

Next you will see the Rarity section. This shows you how rare an object is. Smallest diamond being Very Common and Largest Diamonds meaning Very Rare. A help full thing to look at, especially when your trading.

Under that, you can see how much coins it can be sold for, and how many Faction Tokens. Note that only Faction Kit items will give you Faction Tokens.

Next to it you see a little chain. That means the item is linked. Linked items cannot be traded or sent Via mail. But they can usually be sold or thrown out. Items that you pick up from enemies or smashables do not get linked. And most items from vendors aren't linked. But once you put something on, it becomes linked to you. Mission rewards and achievement awards are generally linked too.

Multi Item Bonus
When you have a piece of a kit, you will see a Multi Item Bonus. That just means that for wearing 4, 5 or 6 pieces of the kit, you get an ADDITIONAL storage boost. For example here, when wearing four parts of the Engineer Rank 3 kit, you get one more armor storage and two more imagination storage. And it restores 3 Imagination when you run out.

Each item is different and so are kits, so each will have its own power ups and storage space increases.

Consumables
There are hundreds of items in Lego Universe. And some of them are consumables.

Each consumable is different in its own ways. Some restore imagination, some armor or health. Some restore immediately, some restore over time. Most consumables can only be used once per item and may need a cooling down period in which the item is unusable for a period of time.

An example above, the Thirst Quencher, restores 12 imagination over some time. It is a common object and can be sold for 6 coins.

Consumables are found everywhere, from vendors to smashables to enemies. These items will quickly get you ship shape in a serious situation.

Other help full items
A couple achievements can also unlock objects that can be placed anywhere in Lego Universe that produce imagination not just for yourself, but for other players too. See if you can find them. Weapons are also help full for refueling, but that's the next chapter.

Basics: Level Up!

While you play Lego Universe, you are constantly earning U-Score! They can be earned from Missions and Achievements...

Whenever accpeting Missions, or looking at achievements, you may notice that there are U-Score points in the rewards section. The more points you get, the better. Missions or Achievement with more U-Score are most likely harder to achieve. You can see your U-Score next to your Minifigure's head and in your passport.

So what's U-Score gonna do for you? Well your Level depends on it. You can get from level 1 all the way to Level 40 by earning more and more U-Score. Every five levels unlocks rewards. See them below.

Some items are locked until a particular level. Once you get to the certain level, you can now purchase or use the item that you wanted.

U-Score is displayed to everyone, so they can see how powerfull you are. Once you reach Level 40, you unlocked all items and will no longer recieve U-Score.

Imagination (On Left) is a very important part of the game, with it you can , quick build, do special powers and attacks and much more. Shield (or armor) is in the middle.

Life, or health (to the right) is the thing that keeps you together. Loose it all, and you get
smashed. You can refill each by finding it in enemies, smashables and other items.


Coins
This is the main currency in Lego Universe, with it you can buy many things. Almost everything including quick builds, enemies and smashables drop it when smashed or built.

Collect as many as you can you never know when you might need it.

Basics: Nimbus System

Introduction
The Adventure Begins
Four explorers, Duke Exeter, Hael Storm, Dr. Overbuild and Baron Typhonus set out to find the source of pure imagination. After much searching, and much frustration, at last, they came upon a strange cubed-shaped planet known as Crux. When the four explorers came upon the planet, their travels led them to an old, abandoned temple on Crux. Inside the temple beamed the Nexus of Imagination, the only source of pure imagination in the Universe; they had found it! Eager for its creative powers, Duke Exeter imagined an elaborate castle. Hael imagined apirate ship. Doctor Overbuild thought for a moment, and imagined a puppy. At that moment, an adorable little puppy pet jumped out of the Nexus of Imagination into Doc's arms! Baron Typhonus, mostly insane from the frustration of the travels, decided that imagination shouldn't be limited to what was helpful for all minifigures; he believed that anyone could imagine anything that they wanted, be it good or evil. To demonstrate this, Baron imagined a large, hideous spider. As the spider stepped out of the Nexus, the other three explorers stepped back in shock of what the Baron had done. Baron laughed maniacally, but his evil joy was short-lived. The spider turned around and dragged him into the nexus of pure imagination. With all that evil inside, the source was corrupted. Pure imagination was replaced with pure Maelstrom, an evil chaos, purple in color. The sheer power of the Maelstrom began to destroy things around it; the temple crumbled, the explorer's ship was destroyed, and arms of Maelstrom energy reached out in attempts to smash the other three explorers as well. Thinking quickly, Duke knew that if anyone was smashed, Doctor Overbuild was the only one creative enough to rebuild them. As an arm of Maelstrom energy reached out to strike Doctor Overbuild, Duke jumped in the way and was smashed instead. Doctor Overbuild used the still-falling pieces of their ship to contain the menace, and then quickly rebuilt Duke as the Maelstrom shot deep into the ground. But when the Maelstrom reached Crux's core, the dark energy was too much for the planet to contain. Crux exploded into many chunks of rock, now floating through space. Minifigures everywhere on Crux would be infected with the Maelstrom, and become Stromlings. As the remaining three explorers floated through space on a large rock, overawed by what they had witnessed, Doctor Overbuild picked up a strange-looking crystal. It was the last small shard of pure imagination. As he held it, the three became determined to restore imagination to the universe. If they did nothing, the Maelstrom would continue spreading and eventually infect every last imaginative thing, minifigures and creatures alike. To keep the Maelstrom from spreading, they teamed up to rebuild important colonizations on the rocks floating through space. The three explorers would be overpowered by the Maelstrom, so they asked Baron Typhonus's assistant, Vanda Darkflame, a ninja, to help them. She agreed, and together, they called for minifigures from all across the universe to join in the battle to save imagination.

The Factions
When the four explorers decided to get the help of Minigifures they have put togeather four factions, each for different causes all to help destroy the Maelstrom.

Need help choosing a Faction? CLICK HERE!

The Faction Leaders and Factions

Duke Exeter (Sentinels)

Duke is a very famous and powerfull Knight and master of disguse. He swore that he would not rest until the Maelstrom was defeated. He now runs the Sentinel Faction which is the warriors and protectors of the Universe. The Sentonel factions offers the best protection, armor, weapons and attacks. Perfect for minifigure eager to run directly into enemies.

Dr. Overbuild (Assembly)

Dr. Overbuild was a associate of Baron Typhonus and went with him on the search of pure Imagination. He is an absoulute master of Imagination and can build nearly anything possible with his deep wisdom and creativity. He is credited with building most of Nexus Tower, and many other things around Lego Universe. He created the Assembly faction which is considered the first faction, and the base or "foundation" of the Nexus Force. Assembly is the most creative and most powerfull with Imagination of the factions. Assembly offers very good power ups for gear and lots of Imaination storage and generally good armor.

Hael Storm (Venture League)

In times of danger, or an impending party, there's no one you'd want at your side more than the daring and cheerful Hael Storm. Adventure is his middle name, and Hael's natural curiosity drives him to explore every corner of every world surrounding the Maelstorm. The fearless and wisecracking leader of the Venture League invites anyone to join his Faction, as long as they love the mysteries of the unknown. The Venture League faction is powerfull in the exploration and puzzle parts of Lego Universe. The gear offers generally good armor and imagination, but has some of the best long-distance weapons of all kits.

Vanda Darkflame (Paradox)

Vanda Darkflame was chosen to be the leader of the Paradox Faction. She was chosen after her very close assistant Baron Typhonus had vanashed into the Maelstrom. Not much known about her before she became his assistant. Her faction ,Paradox, specialises in studying the Maelstrom, and to use its power against itself. Paradox is a good mix in Imagination Life and Armor with their gear. And they have some very good ranged weapons. 

The Worlds

When the planet Crux was over pressured by the Maelstrom, it exploded into several pieces, now forming several small and large worlds. Each unique to itself.

Need Help on a world? CLICK HERE for world guides.

The Venture Explorer

This Air Ship was supposed to be headed to Nimbus Station to deliver rocket parts, but after a imagination leak, the Maelstrom took over infecting most of the crew. Its now up to Bob and Sky Lane to get brand new players of Lego Universe out and into Avant Gardens. This world serves as a tutorial for new players, and will teach you all about moving, life, quick builds and imagination. You will unlock Imagination and the Thinking Cap here.

Avant Gardens

The buitifull Avant Gardens now totaly overun by stormlings, mechs and spiderlings used to be a very nice place to be. Now after a explotion at the Paradox Research Facility, all research has been ruined and now its up to you to help fight the Maelstrom forces. At Avant Gardens, you will get your first shield and weapon, as well as learn the basics of battle and meet your first enemy. Are you ready?

Nimbus Station

Considered the most important of all worlds in Lego Universe, Nimbus Station is a hub world to almost every other Lego Universe world. Here, there are four faction vendors along with a racetrack, a concert and more. When first found, Nimbus Station was overun with stormling forces, and you can help fight them in the past using the portal for The Battle of Nimbus Station. Here, you will get your first faction kit, and then your second faction kit. There are no enemies on the world.

Pet Cove

Upon coming to the small island of Pet Cove, you will learn the secrets of Pet Taiming. Once completeing a couple missions, you will be able to tame pets all over Lego Universe including the three pets found on this island.

Gnarled Forest

A fun-filled tropical world, Gnarled Forest is a pirate themed world that awaits minifigures for quite a fighiting. This world is a more advanced world, that introduces guns and consumables. It contains many tropical pets, a hidden racetrack and Pirate Camp which is found at the end of the world. After the Maelstrom infected the treasure from the pirate ship, greedy Pirates opened it up, only to be infected by the Maelstrom. Can you survive the Maelstrom on this tricky world?

Forbidden Valley

A dark world of several floating pieces of rock, Avant Gardens is the hardest of the originaly launched worlds. This world has also been seroiusly infected by Maelstrom forces and hosts one of the most powerfull creatures the Dragons. Ninjas live in the Great Tree, awaiting minifigures to teach the ways of the Ninja. Can you tame the Dragons?

Nexus Tower

A long term project, now finaly complete, Nexus Tower is home to the last remaining piece of pure imagination, The Imagination Nexus. Nexus Tower is built upon Crux Prime and is the home of all four of the Faction rooms. It hosts several vendors of very expensive and powerfull weapons. You can also meet the Faction Leaders here and practice fighting. The tower also features a Vault that can store up to 240 models and 240 objects. Minifigures helped build it by donating bricks to the Nexus Jawbox.

Crux Prime

The darkest and largest world of all of Lego Universe, Crux Prime is the ultimate battle between the Maelstrom and the Nexus Force. The Maelstrom has put its very best and most powerfull enemies on this world. Many named enemies are here too, which are even more powerfull. Here, you will also be introduced to the Art of Spinjitsu by Sensei Wu from the LEGO series NINJAGO. Few can master Crux Prime can you?

Starbase 3001

Starbase 3001 is a hub world that will take you to the 4 LUP worlds. The LUP worlds are Lego Universe worlds created by the Lego fans. Each LUP world has its own set of missions. The Launch Pad to this world is located across from the Pet Cove lauch pad and in the Assembly section of Nexus Tower.

World Currently Closed

The winter themed world for Lego Universe is Frostburgh. It first came out in the Winter of 2010, but should be once again released every November.
