Well said. GK why dont you fight these guys back with every means at your disposal......do you really give 2 craps about what TG or ACE think of you for killing the hell out of their reds?

I would think you would enjoy the praise from hundreds of blues who would thank you and anyone else who can thin the red's numbers out more than the scorn of a few reds?

I need to get a house and the only reasonable way, aside from mining and chopping wood is hunting.

It's true, there is millions of gold walking around in the wilderness at any one time and hunting the wilds is almost completley risk free. Grab a cheap vanq weapon and just start clearing out whole areas. The forest SW of Minoc has great spawn and often spawns 3 monster camps at a time giving you 3 chests you can unock with magic unlock. I've gotten very nice vanquish weapons, loads of deer/bear hats, id/lighting wands not to mention all the gold and regs from clearing out that forest and never so much as seen a red there once. The Northern Territories are great too with the heavy Air Elemental spawns (alongside lots of other stuff) and penty of sheep to shear. Then there the Lost Lands hotspots like The City of the Dead and Ophidian base, sure you will see Pks at Ophidians sometimes but very very rarely by comparison to the dungeons and I've only ever seen PKs once in the City of the Dead.

Also being a total scab and looting & selling everything that drops, including regular weapons and armour, and you'll soon find you can make plenty of cash without having to deal with PKs at all. Don't leave scrolls, gems, crappy magic items; sell it all!

I still hit up dungeons of course, but when it's peak times for the PKs I keep to my alternatives. I got my first small house this way in my first week playing and now I happily own 2 well equipped smalls and an L-Shape and also have 3 completed/equipped characters to muck around with. Honestly if you are struggling to get started then swallow some pride and go hunt the wilds. It's also a great way to see all of the quirky less travelled areas and sights that UO has to offer and combines perfectly with IDOC/house space hunting and resource gathering. It's win-win.

I agree, but I don't think you've pulled out vanqs from those chests, if you did it must have been a fluke

I was talking to clyde just after we recalled out, and the first thing I said was, "why does he only have 2 dragons, I wouldn't of even bothered going in there if he had 4 or more.."

The real solution is understanding how being a stat-loss pk works. If there is a greater loss at risk for us than there is to benefit by killing you, we'll bounce out. Your measly 8000 gold doesn't compare to the -20.0 all skills I take if I die, and doesn't even buy the regs required to train back up.

To skip to the point, GK, you're a tamer, you should have at least 4 dragons with you if you're going to solo-farm, especially in such a high-traffic area such as Covetous Gazers.

Just my .02$, coming from the most active pk here. Also, to note, the spot we killed you is the only place I have ever died on Total Darkness, and it was dragons fire-breath I died too, after being archer-turreted.

You were just under-manned, that's why we came in. 2 Dragons won't stop me and clyde, not when we can cross-heal the damage. Also, I don't think you have wrestling, I would substitute hiding for wrestling asap.
