nice! i read though all the post just now, and congrats everyone! this fourm actually makes me want to post more! no yellin at each other, no flames, i r the happy!
ok, anyway, as far as train farming goes:
do it in an area which is low in population: marshes, ruins (the deeper parts). Theres lots of good stuff there for you to get, and hardly anyones there. But trainin all the Yags, Orcs, or Quavs in an area where ppl lower lvl are densly populated is not cool, for the reason already stated above, and also:
1. Just becaues you ran past it with another of its kind chasing you will not hold more agro then a WHM healing its party. I have seen trains go really rally bad when one of the pack leaps out and striks a WHM just tring to lvl, killin em.
2. DCing, like many of you have pointed out.
3. perhaps someone is trying to do quest and the item they need drops from the mobs your training.
The point: just do it resposibly, farm in unpopulated areas, and dont be greedy. That goes for the other way around too, dont just pop off the mobs of someones train with an area cast or WS, cause thats just as bad, if not worse. Just be curtious of your neighbor. The other day, im farming yags in giddus to get thier necklacs to make copper ignots, and there was a 33 thf there, trying as well to get fame for norg. we pretty much just split them as they came, and both came out winners.
As far as ppl warping out, thats fine. At that point in the game, a smart farmer will carry a pintch of prisom powder, just in case, or have their own abilitys to get around the swarms of mobs. and if your too low lvl to take on more then one of the thing your farming, then dont steal from trains, bc if some one does do that, then you better not ***** when you die. you knew what was going to happen, and youll just have to live, er..die, with the consiquences.
I think this is the best way to go about train farming:
if you see ppl lvling, dont do it, just killem 1 at at time, if your in compation, just split em as they come; no hurt or angry fellings, and if your in a place that nobodys at, CHOO-CHOO!!:P
good post ppl!! d(^^)b
