Very interesting read - thank you. I'm not now, nor ever have been a PKer, but, like most folk, go to wildy for the various errands non-PKers have: Clues, training on Green Drags, agility course, etc... ...but, unless I'm going to visit the KBD, I'm one of those 3 item guys - even when fighting Green Dragons. Ok, I might have more than 3 items, like some food, but, only 3 "good" items. And if attacked, you can bet that I will eat every bite of food that I can, before dying! Hehehe (Oh, a side note, if you are running a treasure trail and have got next clue, drop everything but your dds, the casket (never open them until you are out of wildy) and one other item - this is especially true for co-ord clues that take you up near wildy agility course - too many folk are waiting for you to open that casket! Getting down to three items is simply a good way for having a PKer give you a free trip out of the wildy! (grin)) I don't bother with tele runes, tabs, ecto, or crystal anymore, as at lvl 100 combat, even the lowest lvl PKer that attacks me is probably going to Teleblock... Aaaarrrggghh! (grin) But, other than saying "thanks" for the interesting read, I have a question: Why would a PKer, or a PK team go after a guy that obviously is only holding a very few items? Using the green drag example, a D weapon, an anti-drag shield, and a platebody? Especially after he has said outloud, "I am only carrying 3 items, not worth your time." ??? Ok, I have another question - why would anyone go after folk running runes through the abyss? Practice? (grin)
