lol you think a new player that started on this server march 9th as a ranger really cares about his about leaderboard rank..... please tell me more.

So we should discount the leaderboard to quantify how good or bad you are in pvp?

What should we use to calculate your pvp skills? How many raids you attended in Empire?

Its a good time but expect to die to twinked alts pretty often. Just keep that in mind and you will enjoy yourself.

[Qtip]

Make a lvl 1 mule, park in Nfp. Most trades are done there.
Shaman and enchanter are both good in pvp, I would go enchanter(thats what I rolled).
Send tell to me ingame Qtip or pm me if you roll enchanter and have any questions.

Other then that, good luck and have fun, this is a game.

I went Ogre Shaman. I've loved every minute of it. Sure, you don't get the regen, but frontal stun immunity is the gift that keeps giving.

[Rastignac]

also don't let forum BS get you down. most red peeps is good peeps. that doesn't mean you aren't gonna get killed though...

Hmm, ty for the actual responses.

So most trading is done with a lvl 1 to avoid the pvp?? But with no 2 boxing, you HAVE to find someone you trust to trade back and forth from your mule? Right?

Was any of the gem stuff I mentioned valid? Or not done at all? I'm more than happy to get some experience in pvp getting my ass Handed to me by some twinks, and I don't mind it being "tough" to need to bank alot... or risk losing your cash.

But is there alot of trade griefing?? Like if I save my ass off for a fungi, and I gunna get robbed trying to finally buy one?

I expect lots of dieing and pvp.. my only concern is Tradeing.

Simply put, are their alot of robbers? ?

So. ....

Any actual feedback to anything mentioned? Cuz I don't care nor have any clue about anyone's reputation or rank.. looking for your opinion and info on server trading. ...

not anything else. .. heh. ..

Ty in advance.

TLDR chanter will be the cheapest to gear and will be the best for farming and pvp and arent as common as shammys and def top 2 int caster for pvp.

I'm pretty casual compared to lots of players on this server, but I've done a dozen trades in plat and never been robbed. Again that's not to say you won't get robbed, but it hasn't been a big part of my experience.

I hear that larger trades are done near banks in cities to avoid robbery (NPCs will attack trouble-starters). Just use common sense, like you would in RL when buying something off craigslist. If dude seems jittery or rushed or manipulative, don't do the deal. Red requires a lot of this type of common sense.

That said I usually carry my plat around in Elf Leaf (low pp loss on exchange) to avoid losing it when I get ganked, which happens a lot.

All the trades I've conducted have either been in items or plat, no gem currency trades in my exp. They might happen but I haven't done it.

Best advice is to not do what pumped would do in any situation.
