			<description>Some talking points



First I'd like to say I  enjoy making progress, pure leveling. I enjoy watching ppl make levels fast! I also enjoy helping an active player that's dedicated from the start..teaching them the ropes, where to hunt, where to place their lvl up points, sending them the correct gear etc..  I like to contribute all I can to  building something I can watch grow. Which leads me to some concerns and questions.



My concerns are:

			<dc:creator>cougarf</dc:creator>
			<description>I actually posted this somewhere else on the forum, but I can't recall where. I was just wondering if people were interested in getting a chatbox for the guild, which would allow us to speak more effectively by sending messages real time? While I don't think it would overtake the guild chat in terms of FS function (like buff requests, donations etc.), it might allow us to be more informal and socialize? Also, it would function while the site's down, giving us a better idea if its only our computers  ...</description>

1. Use &quot;Please&quot; &amp; &quot;Thank You&quot;       



2. Some Buffers welcome donations.



3. Always check a Buffer's BIO for instructions &amp; NB check how much Stam the Buff has while you are there.

			<description>****updated to insert any new, better, more information.



It's real simple, follow a few basic rules and you will gain at least/or near 2 levels per 700-800 stam.



Ask any questions you have about lvling. If you have any doubts or something doesn't seem right to you, ask.  If you are lost, ask for directions. Don't waste stam wandering around the wrong maps.



The laws of leveling  ahaha

Don’t hit “Reset’Level Up’ Points” by accident or you will spend 50fsp.  Make sure it says 0 FSP next to what you are buying.  I have compiled a list of the best skills to have.  It is always useful to have any skill that increases your exp and gold from kills so these top my list.  If you are under level 25 do not use any skills.

			<description>After consulting with the Grand Masters we have decided to re-enable Knight Champions and above the ability to tag items for the guild.  All items tagged will be permanent guild property.  This is an honor bestowed upon our mightiest warriors and comes with great responsibility.  Tagging is expensive and takes up our storage space as you cannot drop it.  Please only tag worthy items ie. Forged, crafted or set items.  A great rule of thumb is that if it is worth less than 1 FSP in the auction  ...</description>
