Definition of conspiracy - an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot.

That is the reason it is unlawful in FS to trade GvG RPs...plain and simple.

As far as trading prestige goes...I myself may be an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious player and will do whatever it takes to gain advantage on other players...including finessing other players to hit back in an attempt to convince them they will  benefit just as well as myself in the prestige swap.

Since, apparently, the expansion of the target range from ±100 did not pan out, few prestige targets are available.

Time to improvise any way a player can.

Farming prestige is not as easy as you think...especially today when one of my guildmates posted a prestige trading buddy of mine on BB for a 100 stam deleveling. I had to move to another undisclosed location to protect my butt

Nobody reads bios!  

Having the prestige swap posted on my bio could just as well be a trap to get more players on the BB (see above about myself). (PvPers are screaming about lack in BB anyway)

PvP prestige farming is an art, just gotta know how to wine and dine your targets well    

I'm coming out of the closet...I am a GE sandbagger I believe I have  qualified in every  GE since the beginning and only get enough kills for Ruby Tier even though some events didn't make it that far. I had plenty of reasons I didn't do more, burned stam for a hunt, not enough max stam ect. This GE was different because I need common frags and the bunny gave common frags + bonus frags So, the amount of kills was not my concern, just frags gotten with minimum stam used. My GE kills were greater than 18K so I got a very nice surprise...EE Basket #4 Do I feel guilty receiving the extra basket? Hell NO! The celestial bodies lined up just perfect for me here at FS and I benefited

Should HCS announce this bonus or amount of kills needed to gain the bonus, I think not.

Even though I may have the usual excuse not to do more than qualify kills, I will look back and think that maybe I better do extra kills just in case the bonus pops up again

Thanks HCS for the awesome Global Event!!! 

I say everyone should be entitled to 1 name change...this solves everyones problem not everyone is going to like their username 10 years from their join date...people grow up, change interest etc...1 name change is fair and how it should be...as for the whole thieves/scammers etc...thats your own problem thats what STing is for...also nothing wrong with starting over for those who play dirty people change and mature 

I agree...I would like to edit my game name to delete the "d" out of it Don't have a clue how it got there

Happy Holidays folks of FS

Bildor went to great lengths to add some cheer during this season and of course it is temporary.

I'm sure that HCS would not make the change if it was to be permanent.

Of course, everyone has a right to express their opinions, even non-believers in Santa Claus

I am totally floored! Hoofmaster and BigGrim have done a supurb job at keeping FS playable for my benefit The only thing that Mojawk will do is ruin my work that I accomplished years ago..."I champion the leveler"    

No matter how brilliant you paint a slow roller coaster, it is still gonna be slow

Casually Composing  About 2.5 days from level 25 (goal is level 27)

Amazing how the composing has changed my game play - and my uncontrolled desire to steal any unguarded common item

before composing, I would make notes of levels I would conquer (and quests) and when I ran out of stam, hunt over.

Now I have to calculate exactly where I end up after my hunt so as to land in area where critters drop common items - not easy to do 

Rebuild stam a few days, buff up and farm that area killing 1 critter at a time (without doubler) to supplement my addiction to common frags for a few days - maybe a week. I even have a few players (frag buyers) hoping I'll sale some of my person stash to pull them through   

It's tough out there folks - you will  think "I'll just compose a few potions and walk away" WRONG!

You'll care about nothing but getting that frag - you'll push away your guildmates and allies (if they refuse to give you a fraggable item - you'll troll the AH for hours looking for the cheaply priced fraggable items - you'll level with the lowest doubler (or none at all) - you'll happily boast your composing level on guild chat only to find others 10 levels higher than you - I could go on but it is to painful  

eh...the higher level composing potion are awesome though  

Have fun all    

You are probably wondering how to get all the different frags so that you van make a potion. Like they stated above, once you get your quotas during a global frag event, you will get all the other frags to do you a long time (epic frags not including at this time). Until a global frag event shows up (which they are frequent) just concentrate on the common frags. There are formulas there in the suggested wiki article, that will aide you to cheaply farm composing xps How neccessary are common frags you ask? I just copied this from area where you break down items for frags 

Total items in the game broken down: 8,723,922

My guess is about 90% of that total is fragged common items O.O

Players buy them, sell them, farm them and give them away yet you will never ever ever have enough common frags LOL

If you enjoy counting a 5 gallon bucket full of pennies then you will enjoy this

I hate counting pennies yet I did just reach comp level 24

Have fun

K.I.S.S Keep It Simple Stupid as it is their game...not yours lol

Can't believe how many people here actually use the combat evaluator lol.

I tested that thing a few times, even on 'adventurous' the safety margins on it were far too high for my tastes.

I could regularly destroy creatures that it told me I'd never hit and would kill me in 1 swing... Useless.

 

Besides that it always felt like a bit of a cheat really. I mean playing a heavily math based game like FS and then having a script do all your math for you? What's the point...

This is a very good point, even though I chose the combat evaluator as one of the features I wanted to keep.  lol.  Then again, i never was very good at math and I never trust the evaluator "completely", I just use it as a general idea of whether or not I'll get whooped by a certain creature or not.  I mostly use it for very strong creatures like SE's or elites, not much for the regular critters. 

I really don't like using Counter Attack buff and I do love using Overkill buff for extra xp, especially against champions.

Since the evaluator does not calculate damage causing enhancements - Holy, Banishment, Glory Seeker ect., it is a great tool to double check my notes while I'm hunting.

(If evaluator shows I am 6K damage short and the critter is an Demon Champion, then my gut feeling is, I will 1 hit kill it and even get overkill bonus because of my enhancements)

Enhancements can only be calculate thru experience (gut feeling) not from combat evaluator.  

Not to mention, gear changes from one area to the next, after leveling thru many areas in a hunt, can cause mistakes, so I glance at combat evaluator before attacking and make adjustments accordingly.

Useful in determining if NMV will protect me or if I have to buy all the SSI pots in AH.

Remember that you cannot peek at creatures with  levels higher than you are so the combat evaluator is not a win button.

It is a great tool where you are and minimizes frustrating hunts if you happen to be in a hurry or having to change gear/buffs a lot:D

I use google chrome tampermonkey for FSH and one helper stopped working a long time ago..."active buffs on self" when in quick buff window

1) Quick Buff Display Window

Show active buffs already on player to buff and show all buffs/enhancements active on self.

Buff Master, Guild Buffer

Sustain and Fury Caster percentage

Also show current levels of Counter Attack, Severe Condition, Nightmare Visage and Barricade.

2)Mailbox 

Fast take of individual Items

3) View Creature Display Window

Add "Add to the do not kill list"

Add "Combat Evaluation"

The auto-discard was implimented before composing became a fairly popular activity.

No point getting rid of auto-discard yet it would be nice to have some sort of alert that it is on.

Maybe a flash message in map stating an item was discarded if it is on

I'm afraid of it so I never turned it on

BigGrim stated "Want to see how this goes as a baseline Frag Event."

An open all stash would be dynomite too !

Great artwork Zaelin! The Wraith would also look awesome on stage with an electric guitar

348h 23m 57s  UNTIL THE BOUNDED GOLDEN DRAGON SET DROPS FROM MY MAILBOX

I don't understand why bounded gear/equipment can't be composed too 

I've bought my share of BP slots - not for the bounded equipment but for bounded potions!

Anyway, this is not going to be as easy as most might think

I'm a founder and even clearing out some of the obsolete tagged LE and SE gear from our guild I will unlikely make a single major compose potion at start  

Well done FS community players for this suggestion and well done HCS  for making it happen
