Being at the front is an easy way to get FFXI Gil Novad to death
Play smart. Keep in mind the following: You are a RANGED attacker, so play accordingly.
Don't try to tank or you'll get FFXI Gil spanked. Stay off the front of a battle line (unless the enemy is retreating). Being at the front is an easy way to get Novad to death.
In Lunar War (LW) and CZ (Colony Zone), many characters will be higher level and/or better equipped than you
To earn np's, the #1 thing you must avoid is dying (duh!). If you are in a party, you get less than 50 np's per kill but you still lose 50 when you die. Run away bravely at the first sign of trouble.
If you don't run early enough, you'll find gaining np's to be tough. Retreat until you find a cluster of blue dots (friendlies) to draw the heat away from you.
Once you pass a group of blue dots, it is usually safe to turn around and attack again, because you can outrun anyone Swifted. Run away from any scumbag cheating archer using the Arrow Shower hack. Getting hit by AS hack is like having Spike spammed on you
You should "probe" enemy players you've never seen before with Shadow Hunter: shoot them and check the damage to get an idea how strong they are.
