Uruga

Be careful that the higher levelled players actually aggro King Colls and stuff.

I've actually tried to piggyback behind people only to die because those people didn't aggro those monsters. Dx

I am t3h sm3x at aggro dodging. I CAN make it to uruga without piggybacking, but it takes time. I have a photoshoped image somewhere on my drive that has a pic of monsters at medium range with a red ring that I used to use for an aggro gague. All monsters, in my experiencees, have the exact same aggro range. So I just went between trying it out and looking at the pic and kinda had a bit of luck but now I got it down pretty good.

The reason why it takes time is because some paths (like in the forest of slumber) are extremely narrow and you cant squeeze by the enemies, so you have to wait for someone higher level than you to clear the path. Then you run like there is no tomorrow.

As far as other players and what they aggro, you can usually tell what level they are, roundabout, by looking at their gear. Go places with heavy traffic and watch what players in what gear aggro what monsters. I had an excel spreadsheet giving the ideal gear loadout to look out for when piggybacking.

But if they are wearing crapshop stuff, keep an eye out for their weapons. Know what weapons are equipped at what levels for each class. People like to show off their shiny +9 weapons, which means that more than likely they are lower leveled than you want. What your looking for is someone who has their weapon enhanced just enough to give them a boost, but not enough to have wasted a ton of money on crapshop items. Another thing to consider is that alot of the higher tiered weapons dont even have stones to enhance them so if ole by is running around in a crapshop suit, but has a lvl 40 sword and is moving confidently, chances are he can take you to uruga.

Then again these are all just hypothisis developed by my observations and experiments. If your serious about piggybacking, its best to just find what works for you.

And if any of you want to know why I put so much work into it is because my guild would often leave me behind going to uruga, so I had to get good fast at making my own way there.

Happy piggybacking

No idea if this is on Teva but most people i know around my level have +9's...If you dont its kindda rare. FYI most people use mounts so how could you tell their weps if they got cs stuff too?

Anyway if your too low to get there on your own I think its better to stay away from Uru its not even worth the trip.

Exactly, Z. Except for one oddly placed low-leveled quest, you really shouldn't be going to Uruga unless you can get there on your own. If you absolutely need to get there, there's also the scrolling option. Or, if, say, there's a guild event going on, the guild should escort you.
