Roleplay masters, come in!

How can I learn the things to do in-game (attack monsters, trade, buy, and other skills) WHILE roleplaying? I mean, how can someone tell me to " click here " then " click there " while roleplaying? Any tips?

The clicking aspect is out of game...You can learn to talk to NPCs, but simply trying to talk to them. In game, you attack by attacking, its oog to control+click them...

The 'F' keys 1 to 5 are useful. IC = In character, OOC = out of character.
When it comes to skills find someone who is already a smith, carpenter, baker or whatever you are looking for and talk to them. If it is what materials to use you can ask IC.
If it is how the game mechanics work just mention you are having trouble using whichever tool to make whichever object. Use your imagination. They may tell you that you are using the wrong tools or perhaps using the tools wrongly. They may come with you to "watch" what you are doing and give instruction. It might be they will #w (whisper) OOC how to perform the actions while telling you IC how to do it.
One thing I will ask is that if someone whispers to you how to do something please give them feed back as to what happened or what messages come up. Use whispered OOC or normal IC speak depending on the feedback. For example #w ((it says I do not have the right materials)) or "That seems to have worked. I was holding the tool wrongly."

By answering this post I am in no way suggesting my RP skills are out of the black.

Your biggest aid in learning to do things roleplay wise will be finding a good roleplayer to teach you.
For example fighting learning to fight should be an elaborate 10 minute #me session with how to grip and wield a weapon parry etc. Culminateing in
#w (( now when you want to attack me ctrl click))

Same for most crafts, it is a goal we should aspire to make teaching an rp event not a quick #w (( hold pincer light furnace...no no click the other way...now take ingot...pwn it with hammer....rawkzor you made a sword ))

I am myself negligent in this regard often finding im to rushed in game to do teaching justice. This is a lame excuse though one i will enedevour to set right.
Some one took the time to teach me to mine and smith that way and it endeared me to the game no end.
