How To Be A Big Fish In A Small Pond!

I figure before I hone in on certain topics I should just do a quick insight on 101 for Beginners. If your just starting out you will find that until level 15 you are stuck with being an Enforcer. That’s okay, Enforcers rock once you get them going. It is important to know that if you are joining an Empire like FTS Militia that has a power house foundation of members, you may find yourself in EB's getting A LOT of Defeats and loosing health really fast.
That is do to a few factors:
  1. we win a lot more than we loose so we jump up the tiers really fast
  2. your stats are not high enough to take on high level players
  3. your PvP level is not high enough to make a difference
Its rough at the start but like in all Mafia based things everyone starts at the bottom, how fast you climb the ladder is up to you.

Our recommendation if your just starting out at level 16, switch classes to Heavies and focus only on buildings. This way you stay unhurt and your helping pave the way by wrecking buildings. If your unsure what class you really want to be, hang onto your class coins and try them all out before you waste them on a class you don't think you will play (experience talking).

“But Lord Jugrnot how can I get better NOW!”
Well, here is a rule of thumb that has work for me and a few “grasshoppers” I've trained:
  1. get your energy to 50, then your attack followed by def to 50 also
  2. while doing that use your stamina for Player vs Player only
  3. once those 3 stats are at 50 move your Attack and Defence up to 100
  4. if your finding you don't have enough stamina dump some into there (cost 2 for 1 point)
  5. Continue this circle until you start winning most of your attacks

When it comes to your energy and stamina, an easy rule to use is “If its empty when you go to bed and its almost full when you get up, that’s enough stamina and energy” .... for now. Once you get established, you can boost those however you see fit. There are also 4 Gangs you can pay tribute too, each gang gives you a stat boost by 1 each day (2 days if its Cartel), so use that to your advantage.

Player vs Player.... Do I Have Too?”
No. If you like getting your butt handed to you and your money getting taken from you at the most inappropriate times, than no you don't have too. PvP is what keeps you alive, look at it as being the kid who bullies stay away from because you know Black belt or something like that. The higher your PvP level the less damage you take when attacked/attacking and the more damage you dish out when attacking/being attacked. In EB's the higher your PvP level the harder it is for someone to get a victory on you. So in my book PvP is really important.

The best way of leveling your PvP is focus on the people who have less than 500 allies and are the same level as you or higher. If you “farm” people lower than you by 2 levels or more you do not get Battle Points that are used for leveling and you do not get much of anything out of it. Another way of getting PvP points is by invading someone. This only works in your favor if you have way more allies and gear than they do. Talk to some of your High ranking PvP players in your empire to find out what their tricks are and find one that works best for you.

Do You Want To Be My Friend?
Allies are important to, so making friends is easy as 1-2-3! You will need a min of 500 allies to unlock the last seat at level 100. The Under Boss seat gives you a x1.5 Atk and Def bonus for Boss fights and PvP.
The easiest way to do this go to this site:
Enter as many as you can/want and allies will never be a problem again. Hint: The earlier you do this the easier you'll have it. The annoying thing of having that many friends is EVERYONE wants you to help them, the plus side is you get gifts ALL the time. Another way to get allies is post your code every chance you get, on Empire War Chats, Empire World Chat (10 free posts then 10 favor for 100 posts), peoples walls, line chat, emails..... well you get the idea.

Well there you have it, some hopefully helpful tips for getting started/back on track! Go get some!

*FTS Militia members, it is very important for you to build your PvP rank high and fast to stay competitive with the gangs we go up against. If you are having troubles with lack of weapons or stats etc, please ask your Lts or myself for help. It's what we are here for. Also if you are below Level 50, please change your class to Heavy for the time being. I will be posting on Classes in the near future.
