So we are ahead of the game here a bit, so we should test this:

Can you steal someones loaded trade cart and take it somewhere to remove the packs? Where would you be most vulerable, etc.

I'm sure no TKV member would do this, but then again YOLO SWAG

Looks like the answer is yes. If the driver gets off any doesn't retrigger the owners mark before it wears off you can gank it.

It's not like you can take it very far without someone noticing, but you could bring it to a pvp zone where your friends are waiting.

I started raising Cashmere Yatas and have 3 females and 1 male.

How do I get them to screw? Barry White music? Wine? Promises of acting work?

It's totally random, like getting a thunder tree or your livestock cub being a male instead of the more common female.

Check them all at once when you shore, do the male first, if he's ready you click it. Otherwise shore him and then shore the females. Only unshorned females can have cubs.

I saw my first cub on the market today. Polaris cub. Some ridiculous buyout. Haven't seen another.

So, there was a house in the area that fell at 6:47pm. I have yet another scarecrow farm to plant on. I am the master of getting house spots.

I own:
Thatched farm house
Medium house
Scarecrow farm
Scarecrow farm

Scooty holds for me:
Scarecrow garden
Scarecrow farm

I might be a .5%'er.

Nice Cake. Try sharing the wealth you greedy bastard.

By the way, if anyone starts playing, here are a few tips:
1. Follow the quests to get started, but skip the story. Just skip the talking and the cutscenes. You'll save a ton of time.
2. If you die, when you resurrect go to the lady at the shrine and hit g. That will give you 80% of your lost XP back.
3. Overachieve on any quest that will let you. (Kill 8 instead of 5 as an example.)
4. Don't bother grabbing random plants and whatnot on the ground. You don't need that stuff.
5. DO mine the iron deposits you find. Keep that stuff. Don't sell it.
6. The warehouse manager is the "bank".

7. When doing quests in areas where you have to kill x number of monsters or kill a really strong one, accept any "Raid" invites you might get. It will make completing these MUCH easier and faster. Yes, you share the loot, but it's pretty minor at this point and you won't miss it. You can create raids using the "Community" icon in the lower right of your screen. Do a "Radius Invite" to invite everyone in that area killing the monsters. Any monster any of you kill goes towards your requirements. If no one is accepting or setting up raids, know that the FIRST person to attack a monster is the one that gets credit for its death no matter who does the most damage or delivers the killing blow.

Good looking out on that shield Leisher! Thats comparable to the Artisan's crafted shield (4th level). I totally forgot that i was still carrying around a shield that was maybe level 15! The new one raised my defense by 350 points! Where did you get that? was that a purchase off the Auction House?

I got it during a quest in Hellswamp or Cinderstone Moor. I actually think it was a random drop from a monster during a quest.

Be careful walking through Cinderstone Moor. There's one spot on the road with a vortex in the sky off to the side. There's two big 5 star monsters there that fire rockets at everything. Those rockets go through the hills, so just run.

Also, I'm running quests on the edges of the continents now thinking I'm almost done with them when I ran to that Forest in the middle of our continent to do the wild elk quest and hit some seriously high level quests. I got my ass handed to me by a standard AI enemy. When that happened, it occurred to me that not only had I not run missions in that area, but there's that other territory just northwest of it that's always at war and I've not been there yet either.

Equipment and skills are becoming a major concern as I get into skirmishes with cat folk in Hellswamp. Ran into a lvl 38 yesterday who got the jump on me (lvl 41) and dropped me without taking too much damage while a friendly lvl 40 was whacking away on her at the same time. I've killed a few other cats without issue, but the difference in armor/skills is very noticeable. Some folks I drop major chunks of their health when I hit them, others I don't seem to do much to. We need to figure out what they're wearing or how they're configuring skills.

How was the Hellswamp dungeon? On my map it showed you guys West of Halcyonia.

Couldn't do the dungeon because Scotty was a 40 yet.

I think I have 6k carpentry, not been pushing it. I did get 15k farming this weekend. Also I've noticed that a lot of traders are using farm carts boosted with eco fuel. It must not be that expensive.

Hellswamp's quest weapons and armor were a big deal for me. A new purple sword and shield and I'm doing 200+ Dps.

We should have someone trying to max carpentry.
So far me doing Leatherworking will get us good leather armors.

Scooty doing metalworking and weaponry for platearmor and swords and shields, although it might be hard to do both without running out of LP.

Cake with Alchemy, that will provide lots of bonuses we can use

Not really sure what Troy is maxing right now, but farming is way up there. What are the best things you can do with farming?

Leisher, i have no clue what he is trying to do with his proficiencies at this point.

I think the guild would best benefit from these following proficiencies: Leatherworking, Metalworking, Weaponry, Carpentry, Alchemy and Cooking. My highest is Husbandry but i can only build some animal pens with that, not really too much help.

I need a new bow in the worst way.

I have no idea what I'm doing with masteries either. I'm open to suggestions, but keep in mind that my farms are currently set to pines and Yatas.

15k farming lets you make bundles. Which make bait worms, which help raise fishing, which can make you piles of gold down the road.

e: My husbandry is ok, but I think Stranger is much higher with his turkey work. You can get manure from the animal pens, which you can use to make fuel, which must be going for a little bit of cash, or hell, i'd buy it.

Either me or Troy can craft you one. i can make up to craftsman (level 3,very close to 4) and Troy can get you to Artisan's (level 4). you have to start with the first level bow and use that one to craft the next level. So gather the resources and i can help, i've got no problem using my LP to craft because you get HUGE XP from it, but if someone is going to max craftsmanship then they should be doing it because they will get their proficiency raised more by doing so. So if you wanna max craftsmanship just keep growing and chopping trees and craft something in it.

My Husbandry is really high because of the result of the turkeys and pigs and i will make whatever pens that you guys can use. The highest is a bear pen when i get to 60k.

Tell me what you need and I'll get the stuff.

Are you guys telling me to be a carpenter? I have around 200 lumber in my bank.
