I noticed even the clans with names not related to mass death, plague, undead, blood sacrifice, cultural extermination, global destruction, and genocide are not very nice if you are not in their alliance. There are some that have strange and interesting names, but their members are just as likely to kill you as the evil sounding ones.

So, we have been trying to make some friends in Agon. And friends seem hard to come by and easy to lose. But we're working on it!

In Darkfall there is really only one rule, and that is if they don't have a clan tag, or an ally tag above their head, there is gonna be a fight 99% of the time. At chaos banks, there is often an uneasy truce going on, but it can break in a heartbeat, and when groups roll in with something worth protecting, it's pretty standard to just put everyone down at a bank until they are done with it. Better safe than sorry is a rule you learn fast in Agon.

Sometimes though, if you roll up on someone farming a mob spawn, and you need to do the same, if you send them a tell with an offer to work together they will often say yes. Everyone wants to get their feats done.

Because it is such a harsh world, most bigger clans and alliances like to lock down territory, sending out patrols and killing anyone not allied. Starting out, you guys are gonna need to stick together. I suggest everyone work out of the same chaos bank and act as if it yours, defending it against all comers.

Thanks very much for the offer. I do indeed have some questions.

1. We discovered that Harvesting in PvP V areas was very lucrative, but I guess others found out we were doing it, and there seem to be frequent patrols now where we used to Harvest. Do you have any advice about how to do this more effectively? At the moment, I just dropped down to IV. It's a much larger area, and seems significantly easier to go unnoticed.

2. We're actively working on an Alliance with Old Timers Guild. Any information you can give that would help us there, or just general information about the more significant alliances, would be greatly appreciated.

1: There are a few different level 5 areas to hit for harvesting, but you're always gonna get traffic there. Mining in a group always helps, but if you're gonna be alone, keep your eyes and, more importantly, ears open for others. Also, don't transfer...it's loud as hell. Rest in between nodes to get your stam bar back. If you hear someone coming, crouch and hide and try to go unnoticed. You'll be surprised how often you can escape notice. Once you get comfortable with your combat skills, go geared so you can defend yourself.

2: Get in touch with Sko Barak for OTG. The other alliances of note would be Imperium, Blood, Death, Nox, Grief, and Lost Minions....off the top of my head.


well hey there Calidor! I just retired. looking for the next great experience. Will it be PFO?


also, forgot to add that I played with OTG for a few months, and Proxy after that, who is in the Blood alliance. More importantly than game mechanics, perhaps, is politics in a game like Darkfall. If you want intel on the movers and shakers, or just the general sense I have of the different clans of significance, all you have to do is ask.


DFUW vet here. I have had my eye on PFO for awhile, and find it interesting that you guys are trying out Darkfall in the meantime. I just retired a 188k prowess toon, and can answer pretty much any questions you guys might have about the game....from how to harvest, to large scale naval/siege combat.

I've been a lurker on these forums for a bit, but figured now was a good time to actually make a post and see if I can be of any help.
