Claiming a camp

Technically leaving the zone is a camp forfeit, in dungeon zones even leaving line of sight can be.

Depends on the camp, devs said sometimes it is ok to be close but out of LOS if it is impractical to be right there. I think this is mostly to remove any excuse for being anywhere else or holding multiple camps if contested.

Most players are usually understanding or will give you a warning and some zones even have player conventions but as I've learned this week, if you're not there you have no claim so it is always a risk.

Like 3 of the responders here follow the spirit of the policies on this server. Everyone else likes to LawyerQuest over the semantics

Yeah it isn't as cutthroat but if someone decides to be a dick, server rules prevail.

Worth acknowledging that you can expect camp ediquette to work different during exp bonus weekends than normal. Like you said normally people in chardok are a small community and kinda work together to not trip over each other. I would 100% expect that not to be the case anytime a bonus is active so I would just always adjust and assume the worst.

Its why I made a joke in another thread about the irony that I actually end up gaining less exp during bonus days than normal because camps actually become contested.

If you are grinding city guards and can’t sell it’s best to make a lvl 1 alt and drop xfer the vendor stuff. You can buy gems and xfer those back. It’s still vacating the zone but you can pick and choose your moments easier, like at the end of your grind session.

When quadding suits I did my best never to leave to sell even when bound there on the wiz. The risk wasn’t worth the reward if I knew people were nipping at my heels for the camp.

Technically rules/laws are not semantics. People just don’t often deal with the consequences because it’s awkward to hold prior to account.

I was in chardok this weekend and it isn't wasn't that bad! Bit more people than usual but room for everyone. But yeah it is late in the server's life, could have been different earlier. But recently I did see zones like KC be a warzone on exp bonus weekends

I did spend bonus weekends running from camp to camp because everything is taken and settling for a sketchy camp then dying and ending the double xp bonus weekend with less exp than when I started though. I dreaded them for a while and prepared a plan B, C, D, E just in case everything was taken...

is the nybright sister camp still yours if you sell at the vendor inside the zone and make it back before respawns?

Yes. Again, the standard is "die, zone, camp, or fail to engage respawns in a reasonable amount of time" (and what you described involves none of those things).

EDIT: But keep in mind that the general rule for outside zones is that you can only camp a single spawn point, so technically you are only guaranteed a single sister when you return.

Speaking of Camps, there is a guy telling people he has all the Unrest Courtyard camped.

Is that a thing? Seems a bit much even if he is trying to get PL'd. If nothing else it's a Friday night. lol

No it's not a thing.

I want to help by translating what sweaty mouthbreathers would say:

"It's an outdoor zone" - This is wrong. This applies to zones where there is a 6:40 respawn. Unrest has a much lengthier respawn than this. There are technically camps in Unrest because of this. (Main Room, Fireplace Room, Basement, Basement Pit, etc)

However, you can claim a portion of the courtyard for your own. Left, Right, or Back.

At this point in the server timeline, go somewhere else other than Unrest. I know groups go there, but it's one of the worst zones to level in. It takes 10 minutes to run there, there are very few actual spawn points (compared to other zones in same level range)

I suggest Permafrost instead of Unrest. Not only is it empty - but if you're going to run a long distance to get to an exp spot like Unrest, might as well run to Permafrost. It's got a higher ZEM, it's got LEAGUES more spawn points than Unrest - and the goblins drop bricks of ore which sell for a pretty penny. Perma can also take you to around level 30 before you have to change locs.
