The Ultimate newbie guide to Roblox
Here I have listed the most important things every ROBLOXian needs to know.
Choosing good places to visit
Almost everyone goes to the Games list when they're bored. Now theres one problem with the games list, the places are rated on their popularity, not the design, creativity and overall how fun it is. But in a recent update the ROBLOX Admins added a "Favorites" feature. So in the Games list there are categories. Select "Top Favorites" And you're garunteed to find a fun place to visit there.
What to avoid
DO NOT visit places with titles like, "CAN YOU SURVIVE THE 10,000 STUD DROP!" or "SKYDIVE INTO THE PIT OF ZOMBIES" If the title has anything to do with falling, or skydiving into teh pit of zombies you don't want to go there. Even if it's on the front page.
When visiting places
Rule #1 DO NOT BE A NOOB. If you want to make friends or ask a question please, use proper grammar. Don't say "wers teh balfier", or "hey wanta b mi frend?" The only exceptions are, abbreviations and typos. Rule #2 DO NOT SPAWN KILL OR TEAM KILL. Often referred to as Sking and Tking. They are both self-explainatory. If you spawn kill or team kill people will get angry, call you a noob and leave. So if you want people to like you and make friends, always use proper grammar and don't spawn/team kill.
Building places
The one thing that I hate about the places ROBLOX is when, somebody spends a lot of time on something then publishes it as a model, then some noob sees it in Free Models then they take it and add it to their place. They repeat this 10-20 times and once they think they're almost finished, they add some weapons and a leaderboard. Then their place somehow gets popular! So my suggestion is, use the ROBLOX Wiki* and get a few building tips and build your own models. Create something new and your place might just be a hit! And if you get stuck ask in the Building Help section of the Forums**
Scripting
All I have to say is, use the ROBLOX Wiki* it helped me alot. And if you need help with something thats not in the ROBLOX Wiki then just ask in the Scripting Help section of the Forums***

How to earn alot of money in Roblox
There's lots of ways to get Tix/R$ in Roblox. You can sell Shirts, T-Shirts, or Pants. Trade with other people. Make an awesome place and get alot of Tix from the place visits. Or as a last resort, ask for donations.
Selling Items
Currently you can only sell T-Shirts, Pants and Shirts. But in the future we will probably be able to sell models and possibly even places! But you can still earn alot of muney in the clothing business. If you have a special image editing program such as Photoshop, GIMP, or Paint.NET then you can make much better shirts than you would in regular Paint. Plus you can make them transparent! Good Shirts and Pants are hard to make so if you don't have any artistic skills but you want to sell shirts then make a VIP T-Shirt for your place! If you're place is popular you'll earn money from the place visits and the VIP shirts
Trading
Right now the only way you can "trade" is to buy each others Shirts, Pants or T-Shirts, and you can get scammed easily so I don't suggest trading. Neither do the Roblox Admins, if you get scammed that's you're fault. They're not going to get your money back and they probably don't even care. Anyway if you still want to trade, go over to clockworks website. he set up a trading system so you can find exactly what you're looking for. Click here to go there.
Place visits
This one is easier to explain then it is to do. Make a fun place with lots of things to do but not a lot of lag. And if it's scripted and designed well, it will stay on the front page for awhile.
Suggestions: If you need some help building, look here. If you need help scripting click this button. You're last resort is the toolbox. I'm warning you, don't over-use it. Make new things, cool new things and you're almost garunteed to get lots of place visits.
Once you have an awesome place, go there and invite you're friends. Ask them to invite their friends if you need some extra help. Soon more and more people will come and you're place will be on the front page in no time!
Swordfighting Guide
by PiePersonOfDOOM
This guide will work with any kind of sword based off of Telamon's sword in the Tools section of the Insert menu in ROBLOX Studio.
To start, we will learn about the spin technique. To do the spin technique you can wave your mouse around while holding right click or you can quickly press the WASD keys(multiple times if necessary).
Now some general tips.
Right click is the best way to control your camera while swordfighting.
Don't slash your sword constantly in battles, it's tactless and stupid. Do it at the right times, when you're near your opponent.
More tips? PM them to me.
Use the tips and tactics I've given you and you'll be a master swordfighter in no time!
