But come to think of it, I guess we can avoid such 'swayness' most of the

This is really unavoidable 'sway'. FF and I kena EQ crash and have to
reinstall and re-download all patches, took us almost an hr ;( That's the
2nd gate spell I cast, I thought my gate so powerful that it crashed NK,
hehe.

Then what is the objective for the hunt? If we organised a camping event,
then camp lor. Otherwise make it an adventuring event.

Actually not necessary always, coz we can invis ourselves and med. If we
got for those fixed number mob, fixed spawning rate hunting spot, it's
always more than enuff time to get fully med and rest b4 the next spawn.
This sentence dun apply to those dungeons or random spawn region.

Tat's why I mentioned, categorise the hunting lvl. If it's a lvl 30 mob,
just open it for the lvl 30 & above kakis. If it's a lvl 10 hunt, open to
those lvl 10 and above (high lvl can join if they choose to help) and
invite 1 or 2 high lvl to help.
As for participation, I think our kakis are the active bunch in QHD. So far
we can get at least 1 full group for the events. ;)

My gate spell cost 300 mana. Wiz can be act as the last resort for
fleeing, just make sure
- No mob disturb me during the 10-15 second casting (yes, gate spell got
the longest casting time).
- I have enuff mana (in fact I advise all casters to at least reserve 1
bubb mana for self gating out, and 2 bubb if u can cast party gate spell).
If wiz cannot gate out, it will be a "I DIE U ALL DIE" situation, hehe.
Another concern I have is the limited spell slots.
My 8 spell icons are:
- 1st nuke (120 dam, for finishing running mob)
- 2nd nuke (180 dam, for doing last kill if mob not running yet left ard 1
bubb HP and save mana)
- 3rd nuke (260 dam, for normal hunting)
- Major shield (rise HP and AC)
- Shield
- Root
- Gate (last resort for myself)
As u can see, all the above r essential for my survival and hunting. If I
replace last slot with party gate, I can not longer gate myself out when
the party gate fail or low mana. ;(
So unless it's like the ROO tactics I mentioned, where wiz main task is tp
party gate once we kill and loot oracle, portal spell never shown on my
normal spell icon slots.

Be humble ma, hehe.
