[6] Autoloot: team leader, right-click your pic, select the middle green button (third button down)
-Merc-
- Ax mercs do not party! they are solo mercs (exception if you have ww to hold aggro)
- Merc build: 2 dura, 1 agi. always.
- circle circle circle
- do not use goose
- get taunt (ax skill), so you can have mock at lvl 29! YOU NEED MOCK!
- always wear the highest lvl armor you can equip
- always have at least one full set of extra HA with you at all times, two if possible once lvl 30+
- prolong doesnt take away hp, it gives you more
- equip HA skill is extremely useful
-Doc-
- max aid (fa), fff, prolong, in that order. always those three first. if they're not maxed, don't ask what you should level next
- fff merc
- fff AOEs
- max Greater Healing
- you need lvl 6 regen for inner. GET INNER at lvl 33.

-AOE-

-Pullers-
(aka. thief, hunter, MA, BM)
- do not remove circle. you run slower but the def bonus is worth it
- listen to team, when they say stop pull, STOP PULLING
- if there's another team in the room, do not pull the whole room!
- if there's another team in the room, do not pull the other team's side (your team will tell you what that is if you don't know)
- always have lots of arrows (500+) and beginner bow with you.
- get and fill an arrow case. not necessary, but helpful (unless hunter class, then its definately necessary)
