1.Assuming you are in a PVP world, your friend needs to risk 25k worth of items, so he should bring 25005gp+ 2.For him to gain any potential he needs to be outside a safezone, standing in a "hotspot" gets you potential faster than standing in a non-hotspot. More potential = better chance at good drops 3.You can enter a safe zone, the only way to lose potential is to kill someone risking 25k 4.Be sure to risk 75k yourself otherwise you wont get a good drop
