[edit] Portals 
[edit] Description
Portals are tools that allow you to guide other PMOG players to a URL of your choice. You place a portal onto a URL, the next few players to visit this URL will get the option of stepping through your portal and visiting your chosen URL.
Players are allowed to rate portals on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, reflecting how much they liked the link.
[edit] Association
Portals are the tools of Seers!
[edit] PMOG Art
[edit] Usage Hints
Classpoints are awarded for portals when they are deployed, used by you and used by other players. So you have three chanced to gain Tool usage from one portal!
A single portal lasts for 50 clicks, meaning that you can get a maximum of 50 tool usage points for each portal.
Many people set their preferences to only show portals that have been rated 4 or 5 stars, so if you want people to use your portals, you'll have to try hard to use good links.
[edit] Lightposts 
[edit] Description
Lightposts are tools that players to use to link URLs together to make a mission. A lightpost should be placed on each URL that you want in a mission. URLs that you have placed lightposts on can then be organised into a mission through the PMOG website.

Lightposts are the tools of Pathmakers, using them more than any other tool will turn you into one!
[edit] PMOG Art
[edit] Usage Hints
Your tool usage for lightposts goes up by one when you place a lightpost, not when someone navigates past it on a mission.

[edit] Armor 
[edit] Description
Armor is a tool that protects players from mines. You need to equip armor (check that it says 'on' in the toolbar), the next time you hit a mine, your armor will take the damage and your DP will be safe.
[edit] Association
Armor is the tool of Bedouins, using it more than any other tool will turn you into one!

Your tool usage for armor goes up by one when you have defended yourself aginst 3 mines with a single piece of armor. At this point you will lose that armor and will have to re-equip armor to protect yourself again.
The above graphic shows all 3 hits. Make sure you keep your eye out for the broken armor or on the toolbar to see whether your armor is equipped, you may have hit mines without realizing it!
