Depends what type of PvP you are looking to do?

If you want to hit people for gold then not only will you need sets and buffs to be able to beat them, you will need sets and buffs for when you are either hit back or bountied.

If you plan to hit offline players outside of your +/- 10 band for rating to try and win Dominance *cough* medal then there is little chance of retaliation, some may bounty but generally this is the safer option, and many players have won tokens, gained 'Dominance' points using this method.

The sets/buffs you need will be different for pretty much every attack you make, and so it would be pointless listing them here, best thing to do is check players who are good enough not to need cloak on the bounty board and see what combos work well with what buffs around your level.

There are unwritten rules of PvP, but you'll only need to hit proper PvPers once to learn them quickly :lol:

Great that you want to try a different aspect of the game rather than just whining about it like some do.

Have fun and good luck 8)

oh and be sure to prepare for whiners as well, if u are just hitting randomly :P

buffs arent to bad to decide on finch, constitution, DC, KE etc, usually i can get away with just those for when im hitting, you may or may not want deflect depending on bounties, and last ditch is big to

Some stuff you should know on pvp is

You attack has to be higher than their def
Your damage has to beat their Armour and HP combined

Or the otherway around :P

Now for buffs I guess EW, KE,LD,Absorb, and deflect is useful when going for ladder...

Pots: you should buy cloak or NMV if you want to go with a def set.

Keep in mind pvp has risk attached to it. All attacks, even losses and deflects can be bountied. And on all bounties you have a possibility of losing 5 levels.

100 stams greatly increase your chances of being on the receiving end of a delevel party. As do multiple attacks.

ok so is it more a matter of how daring you are and whether you will risk more rating for possibly more levels taken?

Yes and no. Most of the token farmers only hit safe targets, i imagine they have a nice list to work off of. Pacts and agreements are another safe bet. As are payoffs and kickbacks.

also it depends on the rating of the person hitting if they have a higher rating it takes less stam to get more rating from them

ok so i should hit people who are less likely to bounty or try to convince or bribe people not to bounty

also maybe hit people with higher rating to gain more rating?

exactly some of the people at the top of the ladder can get annoying and bounty you so that its harder for you to catch them but its all part of the fun, the max rating you can get from one hit is 50 and u have a better chance of getting that when their ratings is higher then yours
