A common question for people new to Aardwolf/Clans is regarding the use of the clan bank account.

Clan money is used to provide a number of things for the clan. Examples include the following:

• Purchasing items to distribute for mud-wide events
• Upgrading the Clan Hall
  • Every room costs money
  • Every NPC costs money (Healer, Questor, Shopkeeper, Trainer, etc.)
• Changes to the clan
  • Changing leaders costs 15M
  • Changing the clan help file
  • Changing the clan rank names
  • Changing the clan skills
• Removing Graffiti from clan hall rooms

Instinct, what exactly is it?

it gives you SMALL bonus at each % put in
for now i suggest not doing anything with it, but this is for people who
want to

there is alot of instincts to chose from, this list is the most “helpful”:

enhanced damage
second attack
third attack
(fourth attack this one is to be last after the others are 10)
sanctuary

those are the best all around mainly because of extra damage
and sanc because its damage reduction

a general rule of thumb is to start, put at least 1 in them
and then work them up to 10 each and thats a good starting point

with instinct each point has a deminishing return
so you get the biggest increases at lower points

max is 200 points which costs:
537,500 train and 2,390,000,000 gold

all this info is in help instinct, i just broke it down
for when people want to do it, so they dont “mess up”

i hope this helps you

i will try to get a stat guide for you guys

if you want to know more about anything pleaase ask

Campaigns: strategy and tips

Campaigns, thats the way to do it…

Once every level you have the privilege to go on campaign. To do that you have to go to Commander Barcett’s Planning (or clan recall, the questor will also do campaigns)
Room in Aylor: run d2s4e2nu from our recall
There you will find: (G)(W) A large minotaur in an old war uniform stares intently at maps on the table. You can request a campaign with him (type cp request). You will get a list of mobs you have to kill within a certain amount of time. The amount of mobs vary between 10 and 15, the amount of time to kill them is about 6 days. Once you have killed them all, then you get a reward (qp, coins and if you are lucky trains/trivia or practice-points).

Basically there are two sorts of campaigns, one with roomnames and one with area-names (just like globals). Big difference between globals and campaigns is the fact that the mobs usually are equal or higher level as you are (globalmobs usually are like 10/15 levels lower than you).

In essense the same tips apply to campaigns as we have formulated for globals. But because of the fact that you get much more time to finish the campaign in, there will be less stress and pressure.

Benefits of campaigns:
– extra questpoints
– expansion on your areaknowledge (this will help you also when you want to do globals)
– indication for levelmobs
– gain bout 1k/2k xp per campaign
– it quite challanging to try to do them.

Drawbacks:
– it reduces levelspeed
– it takes time
– it takes you to potential nasty places

Tips:

1. Apparently you dont get cp-mobs that you cannot see, so its a good tip to make sure you don

The past few raids I’ve been on have been a mix of fairly new
people and old timers. I figured I’d write this refresher to kind
of bring everyone onto the same page. Please note that this is /not/
aimed at anyone in particular.

Sujested at least 30k in hps and max stats before asking to join a raid

*** EVEN IF YOU’VE BEEN ON A MILLION RAIDS IN THE PAST,
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES UNLESS TOLD OTHERWISE ***

Be Active!
If you are in the clan maze, you should be at the keyboard, ready to enter a
command with a split second of notice. Yes, raiding is frequently very slow
or boring, but it requires your complete attention all of the time.
If you have to AFK, make sure you say that you are leaving before
you do so. Never AFK for more than 30-60 seconds if you are in the maze.
If going AFK becomes a habit, you will be banned from future raids.
If you are waiting outside the maze, be ready to
rejoin the other raiders inside the maze, unless you are told you
are unable to do so. If there is no path open, the raid leader will
let you know. When outside the maze, feel free to AFK (after saying so!)
for longer periods of time, but always let the raid leader know when you
are leaving and when you expect to be back.

Player Settings:
When you start a raid, you should have the following things set:
autoloot ON
autosac OFF
autoassist OFF
wimpy 0
Also, make sure you are neutral before the raid starts.

To check when you are able to re-enter the maze, type ‘raid’
to see your timeout.
Triggers:
You should have complete control over your character, so disable any
unnecessary triggers. This includes any triggers that report
grouptalk.

Testing Specifics:
When testing a portal or direction, wear your shield. Also, stack
commands. This means if you are told to “go up, enter 3.cp”, you
should first shield, then type “up;enter 3.cp”. Once you’re there, report
information as quickly as possible. If you suddenly drop into a 7 guard
room, yell 7 guards on group channel, then get the rest of the information to
report. The time it takes for information to get to the raid leader can easily
make or break a raid. The raid leader may ask for you to pay attention to
something specifically; in that case, get that information first and report it
right away. Finally, you should almost always use scan/survey after testing –
report who you see and what direction(s) they are when you can.

Things to report:
GUARDS (with #)

EXITS (#, if not 6, directions)

DOORS (directions – use the open command in all directions to look
for hidden doors)

PORTALS (with #)

WHO you see on scan/survey (and the directions!)

A HUNT direction, if you were told to hunt

DOORS THAT OPEN, If you were given keys: try to open all doors
and say immediately if a door unlocked and opened
Typically, if nothing opens, you should say “lack”
If something opened, just say “opened”

Fighting Guards:
When fighting guards, you should be phealing almost constantly, even
if there are no defenders. Only when everyone is stable at max health can you
add an attack skill/spell into your pheal rotation. The raid leader may
tell you to blast at some point, but until told, your main activity will be
to pheal. Even if you think you can attack, do not, unless you are told to.

If defenders show up, there are three things you should be doing:
1) pheal
2) rescue
3) aim

If you’re a paladin, you can terminate. Thats about it, unless told you
can do otherwise.

Rescuing Guards:
Do not tank more than one guard, unless there are circumstances that demand it.
If there are 7 or more people in the room and none of them are close to death,
everyone should be tanking one guard. You are wasting time if you
attempt to tank more. Yes, that includes you, Mr. max hp with a
billion sanctuary instinct.

Don’t Waste Your Attention:
Humans have a limited amount of bandwidth. We can only pay attention to so
many things at once and can only respond so quickly. You waste your
attention by talking to your friends, talking to defenders in the maze
room, yelling to others in the hall, checking your email, watching pr0n.
You need to be completely focused and aware when you are in the maze.
Please make sure that you are.

Don’t wait in the buffer:
Unless told to do so, stay in your manor/clanhall. Only enter/prepare to
enter the maze when told.

Giving Keys/Item Space/Mana:
The raid leader should only have to say once who the keys go to for
a guard room. As soon as your guard dies, you should give the key to
that person. This is so simple, so there should be no problems.
Make sure you have enough item/weight space to be able to carry keys
when they drop. If the raid party loses a key because you weren’t
able to loot it, there is a big problem.
Also, -mana degeneration rates are huge right now (up to around -1800
mana per tick). Make sure you bring plenty (hundreds) of mana
potions each time you go into the maze – but also make sure you have
room to loot the keys!
Dying:
If your HP is dropping and there are people in the room who barely have
a scratch, make sure you tell them that you are low far before you are
truly in danger.

Skipping rooms:
When skipping a room, one person will tank the guards in a room.
Everyone else will NOT rescue or attack the guards.
All they should do is cast incomplete healing on the tank and
wait for further instructions.

Do not spam:
Never spam any command. Ever. You always need to be able to react to
something (a defender, a sudden move, etc.) and spamming prohibits
you from doing this.

Slowish/fastkill:
Slowkill – do not kill the guard you are fighting under slowkill
conditions. Remove your weapons, wear weapons that do no damage,
and either pheal or heal your guard if it is under 20% HP.
Fastkill – blast your guard as fast as you can without spamming
and without getting to a dangerous HP level.

*Notes

1. This seems to be for tiered players. As a T3 second class, it was doable but still difficult at the suggested levels. So the guide will still help anybody, just take into account the level difference… lower tiers will be able to follow the guide but at later levels.
2. This is for good aligned leveling.
3. Thank Koopa for taking the time to write this guide.
