[Archmage stats for Act 6 Mobbing]

Hate to be the one to say it, but leveling an archer and getting a decent WK is probably the way to go.  Farming act 6 solo is just way easier as an Archer (as far as I know) especially early on.  You'll also have a high level mage to buff yourself with, so that's nice.  Like the others have said, the more buffers you can manage the more efficient you will be.

Another option is to find a party to grind with, at least until you get to c25.

Or pay one of your fellow players to do it, in the end you'll be making back all of that money quickly by farming act 6 with c25 eqs.

Is ironic to me, that the worst way to farm glacerus and dracos, are dracos and glacerus raids, but let´s focus on your topic:

If you make FC free of players, even only in 1 chanel, a lot of people is going to farm at glace, so you are not going to be able to farm either. Around 100 manes and claws /hour is a really succulent reward. That will also make perfection really easy to get, and as I said before, is a late game equipment, so it should be hard to get.

I also know that some people are just a pain in the ass, yesterday I was farming and a wk came to try to kill me, and used like a stack of event snack to full himself (he hit me 1k, I have 80k of hp and I hit him 10 but still not loosing hp), but since fc is nearly dead, some players just want to take all the kills that they can just for score of personal entertaiment, don´t know.

I would like to make fc a place to farm, but I don´t think that´s the way to reach it.

I see... so by removing that PvP aspect it allows players to farm items TOO easily. In particular, manes and claws.  I think I understand what you're getting at or at least the gist of it.

I still would like a second channel for act 4, even with PvP included. There's a lot of players using this content and not a lot of space.

[Gillions]

By adding items to Bash it doesn't remove their value, essentially it adds a price ceiling.   Price ceilings are meant to protect consumers from conditions that could make commodities prohibitively expensive (thanks Wikipedia).  I can see how it seems like players have a monopoly on gillion right now; however,

The difference is the amount needed and the amount you can farm. Each try to +15, for example, are 70 woa and each try to +10 are 600 of cella. 1pts give you 90 of gillion if you solo it, that is around 630 cella in 5 mins max, including making the cella

In 5 mins you just can t farm the equivalent of woas on cella. Also there are 8 differents sps for each class, with more optis, so you just need more woas.Also one good reason for puting woa on bash, is that the most part of woa are sold by bots.

I have to agree with Perse on this one.

Also, players will start to farm more gillion and the prices will drop once they start milking that cash cow.  It's a free market economy, and right now you're buying when you could be selling.

I want to comment specifically on FC. I love act 4. I love the monsters, the loot, the way it looks. It's all great. EXCEPT.. for the PvP.  I'm so tired of players (who've been playing on this server for years, while I just have a couple of months under my belt) completely shutting down my ability to farm this area. It's not fun and it's incredibly disappointing. Not only the fact other players (looking at you, scout users) spend hours denying FC content to their fellow players, but administration doesn't seem to see a problem with that. I just want to enjoy that content, but as it is right now it is completely out of reach and unplayable.  I'm not familiar with game development or administration, but maybe a possible solution would be an FC channel without PvP? Perhaps even no raids, so it's exclusively the ability to farm those areas unhindered.  Another possible solution, is a suggestion to my fellow players, try to keep PvP only in Bitoren tundra.  I just want to farm penguins and try to farm a bit of unknown land.  Let's create a more friendly and enjoyable community.

First I want to address a few responses, at no point did I suggest removing PvP entirely from FC. I simply suggested adding another separate channel that doesn't have PvP OR that players respect others that simply want to farm and not actively try and deny them content.

To elaborate further,  in my experience, players are actively seeking others out that are simply attempting to farm and killing them repeatedly.  To the point where they're only adding 5 reputation (Yes, I meant 5) to their own.  So they're one hit KOing players that aren't even attempting to fight back for NO GAIN.  That's not fun for anyone.  That's malicious behavior where they only intend to deny other players content. To state it another way, they're trying to make the game less fun for others and intend for no other gain.  That sort of behavior shouldn't be condoned if we want to have a healthy in game community.  

To the players suggesting workarounds or farming elsewhere,  as I've already stated, I love act 4.  So I want there to be a way for it to work, I don't want to just avoid it. So... here we are.
