Sparring

Description

Sparring (Right-click on opponent, select Sparring - Spar) is a "friendly" fight between two opponents, to which both parties must consent to. As such, it is a relative "safe" PvP fight that can happen on PvE servers.

Notes

• No fighting or weapon skill is gained by Sparring.

• The server issues a "Stop" message before either party is killed. The winner may not loot the loser, who should still be alive at the end of the spar.

Warnings

• Sometimes the stop message doesn't get through in time! Don't spar if the server is showing signs of lag.
• There are ways to kill in a spar. e.g. using a weapon with Rotting Touch can leave wounds that worsen quickly.
• In the past, winning a spar or a duel would give you Outlaw status. It is not known whether this is still the case.
