Err, for the fish, I go a way round it rather than to wait 2 min (thou' I
got my fish after someone kill it for 2 min, hehe):
1. Ask a kakis to create a mule, u team with kakis mule.
2. Kakis do and kill fish while u stay on land.
3. Once kakis kills fish, u jump in to loot (u can loot immediately since u
2 r grp'd).
4. U will not get faction hit coz u did not involved in the fight and stay
a distant from the battle.
Note than some pple say they got faction msg sometime even they didnt
involve in the fight, which is TRUE coz it happened to me b4. The reason
behind is bcoz u r the PRIMARY target the mob intend to attack in the 1st
place and someone pull from u b4 it hit u. In this case, you are consider
'involved' in the fight and get faction hit ;)
Stein price is dropping, since it's still quite easy to do it (just like
FBR, seem like it's so common to see any tom, dick and harry caster owning
this 2). I suggest all quickly lvl to 40 and go hunt ROO b4 the value drop
like FBR :) At least it's a sure spawn, hehe.
Enjoy!
