Claiming a camp

As I understand your quote shows claiming a spawn is FTE, which implies once it is claimed, it is no longer open to FTE... i.e. you get to keep it until you get the item or give up.

Generally speaking once you claim the camp, it's yours. But the wording in there does allow someone to take the camp if you are AFK while a pop has occured, and you haven't killed the mob in a reasonable amount of time, like 5 minutes.

As an example, I got the Stormfeather map piece for my SK because of this. While I was waiting in line (I was like 3rd in line), a quake happened. SF popped, but everyone was AFK. I killed SF and locked the corpse until the last 30 seconds of it decaying. I was messaging the first player in line, but they were AFK. So I got the map piece.

BTW, the server rules state that Hadden is a FTE camp.

Open Outdoor Zones can be anything from Western Wastes, Karanas or West Commons. There are no staff recognized camps for this zone type outside of single spawn points. Examples of single spawn types might be Ocean of Tears Ancient Cyclops, Iceclad Ocean Stormfeather, or Qeynos Hills Hadden.

The examples are single spawn points thus considered camps. I think they mean more like you can't claim quillmane and the such because they're not single spawn points. You can announce the zone you're trying to spawn quillmane but if some guy just zones in and stumbles on her it remains FTE.

Oh, I agree, but just pointing out that you aren't camp stealing if you get the FTE if the camper is taking his own sweet time in engaging.

Just be aware you may need to do some elf lawyering if you get petitioned on. If a GM does show up, the ruling may not go in your favor.

Personally I wouldn't risk getting punished over a 1.8k plat item. You could just farm the plat for it in a shorter period of time than waiting 18 hours for an earring if you get unlucky.
