Um...
You can't actually click the crystal, since ... you would have to be standing at the Frenzied Boar to do that
Also, the only information you can see, is the name of the enemy above the crystal
The color of the crystal will give an indication of the monster's level, based on your level (Red = same level, darker = higher level, lighter = lower level)

EXP and col I think will be moderated and monitored for levels and stuff.
(Discussing the details with Caits)
(Don't worry, you don't need to remember what your exp is, and how much you need to level and all the calculations and stuff, it will be just rough work, so you don't just suddenly jump more than you should be and things like that
(We will just check things like, okay, you just reached level 3, but you only killed 6 lower leveled monsters and are trying to say you reached level 4, the exp from that monster should not be enough to get close for example)

That's fine, just removed it and the XP/Col/items were more flavor-text than anything. I noticed the intro OOC said we could start anywhere up to lvl 3? I'm assuming that it's fine that Akira is level 2 as he progressed much slower in the opening hours because he has no idea what he's doing.

Uh....
Where did you get this info from?
Source please

It would be simpler if it worked on facial recognition, as it does scan the face (which is how it got the face for SAO)

1st Episode of the original Sword Art Online arc. When Kayaba appears, and they get changed back to their normal appearances, Klein guesses that the system knew how they looked like: "Did you remember that when you had to install the game, they told you to 'calibrate' your body by touching it all over?"

<Snipped quote by Stale Pizza>

That's got nothing to do with genetic information
Not like it's sampling your genes or anything
That's calibrating.
Another user could use it, but the calibration would be off, and the gameplay would probably be awkward, unless they had almost identical builds

after much deliberation, I've decided the best way to play as a Solo Player is to follow my own plottline, and post summaries of what I've been doing every once in a while, then show up for minor group plots and major story plots

Unlike the higher floors of Aincrad, the 1st Floor does not have a particular theme or dominant geography. As the starting location of all new players, the great expanse of the 1st Floor is quite diverse.

The Starting City is located on the southern end of the floor and rests over the edge of the floating castle. The metropolis has a diameter of approximately 1km and is the focal point of the floor, featuring the teleport gate in the central plaza. The city wall forms a semi-circle to the north.

Grasslands surround the Starting City, and they are populated primarily by boar and wolf-type monsters. Worms, beetles, and wasp-type insect monsters also inhabit the grasslands surrounding the Starting City.

To the northwest of the Starting City, there is a deep forest region. The northeast is a lake region. Players must pass through either of the two regions before reaching a significantly more dangerous mountainous region containing ruins, valleys, and more difficult monsters.

The 1st Floor Labyrinth is located on the far northern edge of the floor. It begins at part of a large 300 meter wide by 100 meter tall tower that is a portion of the dungeon that leads to the 2nd Floor. This Labyrinth has twenty floors before the boss room on the 20th floor of the Labyrinth.

@Little_ninjaMaybe I'm wrong (I won't question you) but I'm pretty sure I read about a marshland on the 1st floor the last time I read the novel. But it's been ages since then, so maybe my memory is a little fuzzy. Anyway, Progressive has a lot more info about that and the 2nd floors, I should get go read it ASAP.



Looks like I'm just a little of, it may not be a marsh, but there's at least wet land:

@Asuna YuukiWe have to way until @PKMNB0Y Fujiwara's answer before continuing, wait just a little longer. I'll have a reply ready in a few more hours (gotta go work now) even if he hasn't posted yet. If you to go on by yourself just say we reached the area we are going to and I' already looking for ore, 'cause even if he doesn't come that's what's gonna happen, anyway. ^^ Sorry if this is bothering you.
