    Welcome to Wodan's New Player Services !

    MINIMUM BARDING SKILL for this setup is ~73
    Mobs trapped in player houses will de-spawn after 24h


    There's a couple of setups I have prepared for skill training that are available for public use.

    This first episode of WNPS will cover the super popular Occlo Provo House. By far the best way to train your bard if you easily get sea sick ;)

    The house is located on Occlo in the middle of nowhere:

    The red rectangle marks the house and the blue rectangle marks the Occlo Pirate Camp.

    This house is designed for one purpose. Trap two mobs and train provo on them. Here's a picture of the setup:
    Provo Setup.png
    I highlighted the two trap areas. The two stools leading to each of the traps are a "stool ramp" which let you into the trap but prevent anyone from leaving again.

    Before you walk over to the house to try this please keep in mind that you will get trapped in there as well !

    Now the most popular mobs to trap are the Sailors from the Occlo Sailor Camp. That's because they have a high enough barding difficulty to GM your provo. In order to start training on them you should have at least 73 provo skill. If your provo skill is less than that, please go to the Moonglow Zoo and train on the Ice Troll there. Plenty of guides available how to do that.

    So let's assume you want to trap two sailors in there. This house is designed for self service and the door is supposed to be unlocked. The initial setup of the sailors is much easier when you're NOT friended to the house so if you want to get friended to the house please finish the setup first !

    Now we need to fetch our first sailor, let's have a look at the Occlo Pirate Camp:
    Provo Pirate Camp.png
    You can see a couple of names from the Occlo Pirate Camp on screen and here's an important part. The Camp contains BRIGANDS and SAILORS. If you want to GM Provo, you should go for those sailors. Disregard the brigands, kill them or provo them onto each other and drag out one of the sailors. I market the brigand names RED and the Sailor names GREEN just for your reference.

    ERMAGERD I'M BEING CHASED BY A SEA MAN !

    Now you're draggin the sailor back to the house

    And walk into a free trap:
    TRAPPED.png

    As soon as the sailor enters the trap you immediately log out and back in with the same char. Since this house is private and you're not friended, you will be ejected from the house/trap !
    The sailor is still in there cursing you:

    Now repeat with another sailor for the second trap:
    Meh.png

    MEH ... something went wrong ... all those corpses weren't there a minute ago !
    Well let this be a lesson to you, the char you use for this should be a char that can die over and over again.
    Logout as a ghost, log back in and search a nearby healer for a res.

    VICTORY :
    MUHAHAHA.png

    Now you've got the sailors trapped. I recommend starting with 1-2 GM made instruments for better gains in lower skill levels but switch to NPC/regular instruments for higher skill levels !

    If the door is locked, PM me or ask in IRC for someone who's friended to the house to unlock it for you. PM me if you want to become friended.


    _____ UPDATE _____
    From today on, I will ask anyone who got friended to this house to return me a favour. Please answer calls from other players asking for access to the house in the IRC main channel. I am often unable to answer those calls and just want everyone who is friended and trained here to help me offer the same service to other players.



    Have fun !


    LATEST ADDITION :
    I locked down a bag in the center of the house where I will occasionally drop some of the non-exceptional Tambourines I craft. Feel free to take some for training but please be a good sportsman and only take as many as you need for training. Everyone is invited to drop his left over instruments in the bag as well.

    Hey Pals, I do get a lot of PMs asking me for access/friending to the house and I'm often unable to respond fast enough.

    So all the new guys here, please visit the official IRC channel and ask around if there's anyone around who can let you into the house. I consider it a duty of everyone who has trained here and got friended that this person will respond to such calls and let other players into the house. That's all I ask for ;)

    If you get access to the house and still like to get friended, please include your char name when asking to be friended. Next time I log in and see three strangers in my house I know which one to friend.

    Do you mean a place to trap, tame, release, and retame via macro?
    No. Taming doesn't work that way.

    Thank you for the use of this house, I had my carpenter make a bunch of loots for people to use, a few GM ones as well for starting out with lower provo.
