== Player Death ==
If you die in PvP you do not lose skills as you usually would. Instead, you take a .25 hit to your fight skill, as well as a small loss in body strength. If a resurrection stone is not active, or the player is not a 70+ faith Magranon priest, all items are dropped on death, and can be picked up by the opposing faction and looted. PvP can be very high risk, because losing all of your items, including valuable scale and drake, is a possibility. Players may also lose their an affinity on death, and it is transferred to whoever got an opponent who damaged the last hitplayer. If you kill a player on PvP, or are apart of a kill, you can gain a few possible things. All kills on players with above 10~ fight skill will give fight skill gains. A seventy fight skill player will give roughly .25 at 70 fs. This scales as you or the enemy gains or loses in fight skill. If you get the last a hit on an enemy, you will may also receive their affinity. There is no limit to the number of affinities a player can haveother than a max of 5 in any one skill, and all players receive one upon start up, and if . If they lose their last one, affinity they will recieve another after a set period of time. Finally, upon killing a player or dying, a player gains or loses rank. All players start with 1000 rank, and give progressively less as they died. Contrarily, if a player with very high rank dies to one with a very low rank, the amount lost from the player is increased greatly. While you may find yourself gaining only one rank from a group kill, when you die you may lose twenty or more, as your rank has been spread across all of the players that killed you. Likewise, killing an opponent in solo combat will increase the amount of rank you gain, as there are no other players to spread the rank to. The same can be applied to fight skill.
== Armor ==
A high caliber PvP weapon will have around three to four, high power enchants, although they can be quite difficult to obtain. Here are the most commonly used:
'''Humans Demise:''' Increased crit chance to hit against humanoids (players). Most frequently found on PvP weapons. Has no cast power, just passive effect.
'''Wind of Ages/Blessings of the Dark:''' Recent changes have made high power cast of this less necessary. Having over 50 will assure maximum swing timer. Blessing of the Dark also gives increase to weapon skill gained, although this itself is not necessary for PvP.
'''Pets:''' Having a pet in combat (usually a troll or crocodile) will give you what is known as 'gank bonus'. This greatly increases your chance to hit, and the chance of your pet hitting.
'''Aiming:''' Aiming for any spot besides the torso decreases your chance to hit the player, however the torso is also the most resistant of all body parts. While you may land more hits, they will each do considerably less damage than hits to anywhere else on the body. When chasing someone down, people generally aim for the feet/calves, which will cause the greatest slow down in movement speed. If the player is not wearing a great helm, the head is often aimed for, as a single powerful shot may kill them if it hits their unprotected face. When no obvious weak spots are present, players will normally aim for whatever piece of armor they think is weakest.
'''Focusing:''' Each level of focus grants a +1 bonus to CR. This is the equivalent of 5 levels of fight skill in PvP. In one on one combat, it is highly recommended that you focus, in order to gain the upper hand in the fight. If one player gets to high focus, whoever gets the first hit in will often be the victor, as the they will immediately be in a position of power. Focusing takes four seconds, and the player is more vulnerable during this time. If you out focus your enemy, it is arguable that the disadvantage is made up for by the levels of focus already gained.
