-=-=-Pest-Control-Starting-=-=-
To start the actual mini-game it's self you must first walk down to the south of the island on to the dock sort of thing then step into the lander boat.
Once on you will see the 4 lines of text appear in the top left of the screen, the first lines shows how long until the lander leaving for the next game, the 2ed one shows how many players are on the lander, the 3rd shows the lowest and max amount of players needed to start, and the last line shows how many points you currently have.
-=-=-Pest-Control-Playing-The-Game-=-=-
Well there are 3 main ways to play the game, you can either:
Defend
Attack the portals
Man the towers
There are other ways to play the game, healing players with luner, repairing, but you don't see them methods much, they are mainly used when big high level and well managed clan playing the game.
Defending, this is mainly for the lower level players, your job is to stop the void knight from being attacked and killed, you can do this in many ways, by standing next to the knight to stop anything teleporting in, standing next to the gates to stop things walking in, or be standing in front of the north gate and killing anything that would range or mage the knight from there.
Attacking the portals, this is where the higher levels come in, mainly because each portal is hard to hit you need at least 70 str to be any help here, each portal is weak to different attacks but I don't know much about this yet I'll try and get more info on that for a later update or re-write, anyway when you attack the portals monsters around that portal will begin to attack you and try and stop you from destroying it, you should not attack them and carry on attacking the portal, the only monster you should attack instead of the portal is the spinners, what heal the portal. portals can be poisoned so taking a weapon like a dragon dagger super poisoned (DDS / DD++) is always a good thing
Manning the towers, normal pure mages or rangers are in the towers shooting down at anything what could get in the way or what they don't like the look of, you may also find people training mage or range in the towers to.
When playing the game you will see a few things what you don't normally see.
First of all on the top left of the screen you will see some images like this;
The top icon shows the current health of the void night, each time you destroy a portal the knight will be healed by 60 HP.
The 2ed icon shows the total amount of damage you have hit so far this game, if it is under 50 and red it means that if you don't get it to turn green and above 50 by the end of the round you wont get a reward
The last icon displays the amount of time left in the game, the starting amount is 20 mins
Next on the right of the screen you should see something like the image below;
Each one of the four icons shows the current health of each of the portals.
-=-=-Pest-Control-Tactics-=-=-
One of the most used and one of the best tactics found so far is to split in to 3 or 4 groups, 2 groups of attacks, 2 groups of defenders.
The reason we split into groups is so that one group of attacks can go for the east portal, and the 2ed go for the west, once one of the groups have destroyed there portal they then should move on to the next nearest portal and destroy that, then carry on doing that until all the portals have been destroyed.
The 2 defending groups should separate as well, one stand near the 'void knight' and the other group of defenders should guard the gates, and stop them from being destroyed.
And ALWAYS remember to close the gates be hide you at all times to stop the monsters from getting in to the 'void knight'.
-=-=-Pest-Control-Winning-and-failing-=-=-
Theres 2 ways of winning the game, the first and by far the best, is to destroy each portal, the 2ed being to keep the void knight alive for the full 20 minutes of the game.
When you have won the game you will be transported back to the dock next to the lander and see the following message;
You will be awarded with one point, what you can exchange for other rewards as we have already coved, and 10x (times) you combat level in gold (GP)
But if you fail you will be transported all the same and see this message will be in its place;
There are currently 7 types of monsters in the game, all come in lots of different, sizes, colours and levels.
Name: Brawler
Levels: 50, 75, 100, 128, 157
About: This big guy takes up more then one space and they dint really get far from the portal, they attack with melee attacks and you can not walk through a brawler.
Name: Defiler
Levels: 33, 50, 67, 84, 100
About: Them guys are the ones that hit you the most, they attack with a ranged attack, and if you have auto on you will run over to them what can be annoying, you can not walk through them.
Name: Ravager
Levels: 35, 52, 70, 88, 105
About: They mole like creature doesn't really attack you unless you attack them, all it really does it take down the gates, you can walk through them and they attack with melee attacks.
Name: Shifter
Levels: 37, 56, 75, 94, 113
About: This shifty git can teleport after you or to anything it wishes to attack as long as it can see it, so they cant be stopped by walls and gates, you can not walk through them, and they attack with melee attacks.
Name: Spinner
Levels: 37, 55, 74, 87, 92
About: Has to be one of the easiest to kill but most annoying monsters of the game, if the spinners are near a portal they will heal it, I would recommend take these out first. Spinners can be walked through, and attack with melee attacks.
Name: Splatter
Levels: 21, 43, 54, 64
About: Splatters don't really do much at all, apart from exploding on a few noobs, there easy to kill but once you have killed them they explode and hit 24 to all near monsters, players, gates and the void knight, its explosion is much like retribution. You can walk through splatters.
Name: Torcher
Levels: 33, 50, 67, 83, 100
About: The torchers are another one what will hit you the most, although they mainly go for the void knight and not may stay with the portals. They attack with magic and can not be walked through.
-=-=-Pest-Control-World-Finding-=-=-
Well its hard to say what world is good for pest control as its always changing, there will be a really good world what never fails and take about 2 - 3 mins per round, then it will become popular and many low levels will start coming to it making it so there will be less high levels in each game and more low levels so you will start to fail the rounds.
Theres 3 good ways of finding a good world:
1: World hopping until you find a good world you like
2: Go to the forums, go into the clans area (not recruiting) and read a few threads until you find one what talks about there pest control world a go there, a few dumb clans post there pest control world on the forum for there members to see and wounder why people not from there clan arrive.
3: Friends, clans or other forums, another good way, and more enjoyable one is to form a party with people you know from other forums or who are in your clan, even people from your friends list will do.
Thanks for taking the time to read this guide, hopefully I should be updating the guide soon to remove all spelling mistakes and errors in the guide,
