    Oooh PvP discussion, I should have checked forums more often.
    Not that anyone is interested here are my 2 cents:
    PvP is optional, you do not have to go to the PvP zones. But of course some people tend to go there for the rewards... you have so many options then still:
    Prepare. Get the expensive stuff out of your inventory. It is super annoying, I do not do it, but if you are serious about spending time in PvP zone it is worth considering.
    Get help, party up with other players to protect you.
    Go stealthy, you will not be attacked if others do not know you are there.
    Kill everyone else and scare them off.
    Do not send gold to killers immediately, they might actually return those items if you give them time.

    I still hate some of the mechanics in this game, the consequences for attacking others are non existent, the ransom is extremely annoying and messes up my inventory, I cannot heal non party members in PvP... but overall PvP can be fun and frustrating and you can quickly learn about other people if they have option to attack you. The types that kill everyone that moves just because they can are rather rare. It allows for more complex interactions among players.

    I've been fishing in the PvP zones the last three weeks and I've bumped into other players fishing and only once have I been killed and that was during the livestream when Chris was playing hide and seek. :)

    The whole point of the category is to be more difficult, everything within the game mechanics is fair game. Are there other players guarding their own to improve their odds? Fish at another time or in another category, sneak in via stealth or zone in to the last location you were there if like me you're too low level to fight. Alternatively bring your guild, invite or hire another looking for a fight.

    Just a reminder to folks, I've intentionally picked 1 PvP zone each week for 1 of the 5 locations you can fish at. This is by design to give some love to folks who enjoy the possibility of PvP encounters. For those that don't, they can either ignore that location/prize, group up for protection with other friends and prepare for such eventualities (you will occasionally get attacked), or strip your character down to minimum junk gear, carry a bag full of junk, and take joy you dropped a rusty spatula into the ransom system.

    This is just a small way to provide some PvP options in contests, and I will be planning many more PvP options for folks interested. But keep in mind, on the PvE side, 4/5 of this contest is PvE, and at some point soon I'll be restarting deco contests and story campaigns for the pure PvE community.

    For the PvP'ers out there, I have a round of love coming, which I posted here yesterday: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...-draft-coming-soon.163079/page-3#post-1289026

    But please, if you're killed in a PvP zone by another player? That's by design. It's a risk a player takes when entering a PvP zone. Players do not need to compete in all 5 locations -- pick the ones you're comfortable with and go have some fishin' fun ;)

    Since there are both Fresh and Salt water in Dysborg Ruins, are we catching for the largest fish, which means Salt one? Is there any consolidation price for catching largest Fresh fish?

    Hmmmm, nope -- just largest so Salt please. Maybe in future we can do multi-fish concepts, but my review process already gives me tons of fishies to sort through :p

    BUT -- good opportunity for someone to do a related spin-off contest and collect those wanting to do a Fresh Water fishing competition in Dysborg ;)

    I'm just going off memory so may be wrong but I think I used 25 drudge leeches for each blood leech I caught.
