It is my understanding that prestige was for players who chose to engage in pvp to be able to get a little extra exp back. Not an extra no risk/low risk 10% gain for levelers. So that said, is this exploiting the system, or is it how hcs intended it to work? From the bio of a player: (ive seen many others like this too)

*****'s Prestige Policy:
If you desire to attack me to gain prestige
I only ask that you follow these simple guidelines
-Be 1-5 levels higher than me (to avoid XP loss)
-Make sure I'm not hunting or wearing Crystalline
-Don't hit me while I'm holding gold (250k or more)
Do that & we'll get along just fine
If I've hit you for prestige, just hit me back later.
Thank You :)

A good example of why a player under said player's level should use 100 stam.

And the biggest problem with that is even if you save 10,000 Prestige, using it once will give you a balance of ZERO.

I'm not a PvPer but when I see bio's like this it makes me want to hit them. I get hit from time to time it does bother me a little. Sometimes I forget to take off my crystalline gear, sometimes I'm in stam gain gear. But that's my fault for not paying more attention to what I'm doing. I just think it's funny that some people think that if they put stuff like this in there bio that it will keep them from getting hit. Do any of you hardcore PvPers even look at bios before you hit someone?

of course... and sometimes the bio makes our finger more likely to slip ;)

Wish there was a few of those in my range :lol: :P

Probably not how it was intended to be used but is.
Just like how the PvP Point system is abused, the Gold Hoarder Medal and etc.. it happens

On a sidenote, how many Prestige is needed for the full 10% ?

Ok ty.

Yes going more than needed is lost when activating as far as I know.

Just checked the wiki and it misses this out.
Does amount of Prestige increase with the amount of Stamina used in an attack ?

@ Ejames


** 451


``1-50` = 1%
`51-100 = 2%
101-150 = 3%
151-200 = 4%
201-250 = 5%
251-300 = 6%
301-350 = 7%
351-400 = 8%
401-450 = 9%
```451+ =10%

Pretty sure one of your own guild members hit me simply for prestige today.

My rating sucks atm, I had no gold, and he couldn't take xp. It was a 10 stam hit.

Just found this kinda funny. Didn't expect it from a member of WK.

I 100 stammed him back for hypocrisy. :)

(Sorry if this is a bit off topic)

If it wasn't intended, it was at least a massively ignored oversight. Since the day prestige came out people have been trading and people have been mentioning people are trading. The same suggestion has been around since before the inception of prestige to prevent trading and has been overlooked over and over. Traders are the fruit of this oversight.

It is exactly 451 points or more. Also, just 1 point gives you 1%.

And if you have more than that, do you lose it?

Yes. You should be credited with the unused portion towards your next hunt. 1 hour is still far too short a duration without being effected by Extend.
