McFaire Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Confession: I'm at combat 111 and I've never killed another player. I love to mop the floor with nasty NPCs, but I guess I'm sort of a Girl Scout when it comes to real players. I'd rather help them out than kill them and steal their stuff. I do know my way around the Wild, for errands and quests and such, but if someone comes after me, I usually just run away, lol. I was out of the game for a while, and coming back and seeing warbands and the massive XP players are getting, I guess it's about time for me to man up and learn how to kill or be killed. Levels that used to be admirable are now considered noob! I've checked out some forums here and on the main site, and some YouTube vids on warbands. But I'm not sure how to begin. Any suggestions for entry-level warband attempts, or basic PvP tips? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 For Warbands you probably want to join an fc, or you'll end up on the being killed side :P. I've never done much PvP myself though. "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for." Can games be art? --- My blog here if you want to check out my Times articles and other writings! I always appreciate comments/feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yak-scythe Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Two public warband fcs you can try are- Warband 2- Warband 1if they dont work try adding a S to the end. :P Hope you get in! Runescape is a haven.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaire Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thank you. What determines if you get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Dash Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 First off, you will need 80 ranged and a rcb. Second, learn pvp ability rotations. Third, be prepared to die a lot if you go without a good fc. “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”“Mmmhmm.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaire Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks Kalei. How does one learn pvp rotations and find a good fc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Dash Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Meant to say rcb.... Royal Crossbow. Finding a good fc is as easy as applying to one on the rsof. As far as pvp rotations go, you want to make sure that you are using anticipation, debilitate, and snipe as often as possible. You will also want to learn how to use stuns, freedom, and frag shot to their fullest potential; and to do that, you just need to practice pvp with a friend in white portal or something. “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t.

McFaire Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks Kalei. I checked out the rcb -- sounds pretty complicated to obtain, forging in the blue flame of the QBD's fourth phase and so on. I'm definitely working on 80 ranged though. Suppose I wanted to learn how to do warbands with simpler gear -- I'm gonna die a bit to learn it anyway, right? I have 85 mage. Maybe I can work with that?

Major Dash Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Most of the good fcs require t80 weapons, so you could mage but it requires more expensive gear and weapons. You'd need a chaotic staff. “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

McFaire Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hmmm, I guess I'll have to try a lesser fc until I get the hang of it. I don't think I'll be taking t80 weaponry on the first try. I thank you for your tips though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yak-scythe Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 You can take polypore staff and just keep your protect item on and bring 2 prayer flasks, you'll be fine.What determines you getting in tbh I wouldn't know as i have my own fc i use but ive heard of them two fcs Runescape is a haven..

McFaire Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thanks Juhaa. I've done some further digging and found their are some good fcs that take mages with batwing and a polypore or staff of light. So you can at least get in there and learn the D&D for low risk. I saw one fc on the official forum that meets at Clan Wars an hour before a warband for combat practice, which might be appealing to players who are newer to PvP. I also noticed that melee requirements are considerably lower than mage and range in some fcs, for example t55 versus t75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
