Maybe it's just me but every time I visit the eleven continent I experience
similar situations. Maybe something about dwarves and elves attract a younger,
more immature gamer. So I spend most of my time elsewhere despite the great
dungeons there. Still have the occasional KS problems but nowhere near as bad
as near The Fay.
One obvious solution is grouping. Find an enchanter, They have this great
spell that wipes the memory of the mob just before it dies. They can be wicked
kill stealers and everytime it happens to us she teaches them a painful lesson.
Grouping is best, more fun and more effective.

I'd be embarrassed to admit how often I'm online.. Heh. I'm usually online
from 5p-1a EST during the week and then 24/7 on the weekends. (*ahem*
believe it or not, I do have a life mixed in there.. hehe) People just
aren't selling them anymore.

I bought a Combine Longsword to take care of my magical mob requirements. I
was just looking for the Dirk for the day when I blessedly get dual wield.
As it is now I've got a Dwarven Axe sitting in the bank that I'll use since
it's really fast.
And on a different subject and trying to keep it Bard related: What can a
bard do (if anything) when he/she is being constantly robbed of his/her
kills by magic users? For example.. I'm sitting on the training hill in
Crushbone just wailing away having a good ol' time - nobody else is up there
(that I can see) and I'm just plugging away at Centurions.. Lo' and behold
the Trainer spawns.. I start whacking away at him thinking great, real
experience now - and *zap* *bang* *boosh* and the trainer is running to a
magic user that was hiding himself over the edge of the hill. Aparently (now
I know) the Trainer carries the Shiney Brass Shield sometimes.. I mutter my
profanities and the other person leaves (so I thought). Same thing happens
again.. And again.. I finally get sick of it and leave the hill. Is there
nothing that as a Bard we can do to prevent this sort of thing? I mean, I
wasn't camping for the shield (didnt even really know about it at first) but
my kills were being stolen. I've camped before and gladly take turns with
any other groups that are present - but it's really annoying that there's
such rampant stealing like this and nothing that can be done about it. Whine
to Verrant? I doubt they'd do anything.. Duel the caster? Bah, he wouldn't
accept. And neither of us were PvP's. Are we as Bard's just stuck to the
whims of Magic users?
I won't even get into the massive and unbelievable amount of KS'ing on the
new Brell Serillis server.. keeeeripes man. 100 people outside of Felwithe
going after the same MOB's.. I gave up on that server quickly.
