You may have heard of "Jobs" the newer players can get. The Festival Of FirePower is a once-every six weeks event,
very well publicised on this forum and sometimes elsewhere... and it offers such jobs. Well, two types of job. The FoF (as it is becoming known) consists of a roaming multi-team hunting tournament, all teams attempting to out-global each other on six selected mobs.
Noobs who turn up with a Fap (higher the better...people notice the guys hitting them 10-20 a time more than the ones hitting em for 3's
) and follow the hunters, saving them time, helping them get the bigger mobs down.... if you can keep finding them everytime you die (which will be a lot), don't get in their way (putting people on "follow" stops them being able to back away as they fire.... people do not like this when Armax Dominants are upon them).... then you're a Medic.
The close of the event is a massed assault on the main Araneatrox herd, widely acknowledged to be the baddest mob in-game, and here there's dozens of them. This presents the second job opportunity. Bait.
With these spiders there is no point in fapping (I'm guessing none of you have ModFaps, and
few will be in Shadow
). Their size does allow the use of blockers though. Blocking the other mobs on the hunt will not work, they are not tall enough for the blocker to avoid blocking the hunters as well. But as we have seen with mobs like Second Entities, Spiders and Hispidus, if a noob runs up and manages to cop a couple of evade's it can make all the difference, letting us get the big mobs' health down enough to get it killed with most of us standing. (If you are new enough to not have heard much of Araneatrox, it's a one-hit you're dead affair, whatever armour you may have on really... but here's the thing: They tend to go for the ones shooting at them. Quickly and with much determination. They can therefore often not notice the noob in their path and pause to consider what to do. This is when 12 Bravo's can do a lot to turn the situation in the team's favour
)
The next one is July 15th, the ones we notice get rewarded well... at least well enough to avoid depositing a little while longer. Hard work breeds generosity it seems. All you have to do is turn up and make yourself useful.
Cheers.
