Zevna's a legend. I really love how creative many people are when it comes to finding their own objectives within what's on offer on Shartak. I'm still kind of settling with most of my characters.

Since Simon changed it so that people with x kills and 0 deaths show up properly on the kills per death leaderboards, I think I might have one of my newer peaceful characters kill one person (to attract attention to well, their existence), then run out into the wilds and see how long I can go without being killed by anyone else (or attrition). That seems kind of fun!

There was a player, Krampus, that most people might've missed who did something similar. They got to Level 41 on a Shaman with no deaths. Unfortunately they recently took a random environment death to a Tiger, but that's a really impressive streak, hehe.

In terms of grinding quietly, the underground pool next to the tunnel which spawns tonnes of rats is probably a good place to do it. The pool tunnel is really safe, the worst that can happen while you're asleep is being gnawed on a little by one rat, but I've never seen any big packs get into there.

Thanks for the support Neil, love the lil' history lesson as well!

Co-ordinating stuff in real-time is super-fun (if not exactly necessary nowadays), and I highly recommend it. We run in opposite directions like idiots the whole time, because I say 'go down-right', and then my friends swim 8 tiles out to sea. It's class.

I can't see a damned edit button somehow, but just to add -

You should totally join us because we've got the best soundtrack on Shartak, bar none. 80s and 90s House babyyyyyyy

What the are you listening to in Team Tathers? Probably nothing more than the arrhythmic squelching sounds of Neil applying his choice of lubricants to several places in one go, including some that may be considered unnatural. And I've heard terrifying tales that the Rakmogaki Collective all listen to My Chemical Romance. Crikey. And the Necromancers? Well, they're just weebs. We're going to spread bangers to this two-bit island, mark my words

Hey, I've managed to convince/press-gang a couple of my friends into joining Shartak.

Currently focusing on teaching them and spoon-feeding them some EXP, so, what better way to do so than some PKing? We're looking to see if there's still a point to sorta co-ordinated attack groups in 2019 Shartak, and we're having lots of fun in the meantime (as to be honest, a lot of the historical PKing groups were pretty sweaty and edgy, which would definitely be over-the-top nowadays).

We'd love new people to roll with! Talk to me or DM Weeper#6107 for more details. Brand-new, mid-level and stacked characters all welcome. Our ultimate goal is to be able to surprise-roll a camp overnight and crack a bunch of jokes while we do it, which honestly isn't that unrealistic, since that's taking-out 6 people tops!

The Rat Caves four(?) floors below West Mountain Path, no question. It's like playing Dynasty Warriors. I do like the areas north of Derby and south of Shipwreck, though. They've got good spawns of a great mix of mobs which're sorely-needed when you're just starting-out in those cities, and you really notice the imbalance in local spawnrates compared to the shoddy experience of trying to level a brand-new character in Durham and to a lesser-extent Dalpok.

I also like the basin at the bottom of the Mt. Shartak Waterfall. That seems to be where the strong jungle mobs (plus alligators) are spawned to congregate. There's no true high-level areas in Shartak of course, but the areas by Mt. Shartak do provide the feeling you're going somewhere more dangerous, which is quite fitting given that Sacred Space is probably one of the first real treks for a character finding their feet.
