Gravelord Strategy for Forest of the Dammed event.

Ok fellow Gravelords.

The strategy I am suggesting to GLs is to choose between 2 areas in the forest. The first area is near the bonfire outside Artorias door. Cursing here spawns both BP mushrooms and BP stone giants. Also staying out here will allow forest hunters to invade jumpers primarily with out running into gravelords.

The second area is to stand near the steps where jumpers can see the sign and invade. Moving away from the stairs will only draw forest hunters who might know understand we are allies.

To gravelords if you are attacked by any darkwraiths, darkmoons or forest hunter your job is to defeat them and then invite them to join the invasion. only if you can of course. Win or loose you should mention to them our purpose.

Please share your ideas.

we need to choose an sl. I would like 120 to 130 (if we do decide in that range I will be at sl 125) but I am open to any suggestions. We should decide the sl soon. Trust me, i know from experience that all gravelords should be at the same sl as much as possible.

Ok fellow Gravelords. We need to pin down an Sl for the upcoming event.
Any suggestions? I have found the most action around the forest bonfire to be at sl 120 but that is just my experience. Anyone else has a different experience with bonfire are in the forest?

Also, for those who do not know this, you do not have to be inside the alvina forest hunter area to spawn BP mushroom families. You can be outside by the bonfire and spawn both BP mushrooms and stone giants.

For the event I propose 2 main areas where we shall make our signs visible. Outside Artorias door by the bonfire. The second area is a bit more complex to explain. As you come into the alvina part of the forest walk down the steps you encounter a dense area of trees, you walk past that and come out in a large clear. Right where the tree line ends thats where we should drop our EoD's and wait. The reasoning behind this is that FH will invade and know its us because we are not in the usual jumper spots by the entrance and second the gravelord sign will be visible to the jumpers from the stair if we stand at the edge of the tree line/clearing.

Please share your ideas.

DxV04 - hey bro I am going to summarize this post and also place a direct link to this thread. Great idea on breaking this info out in to a separate thread - this makes it easier to reference. I recommend you continue to add recommendations to the top post in this thread as needed to maintain high visibility.

Though as for tips on how we should commence battle I think we need to rely on the Forest Hunters for that. I'm not saying they should give up their tricks and secrets but any basic handy tips about geography could help us alot.

Also given that we are expecting Farmers to be the targets I suggest we develop startegies to counteract Heavy Armour, WoG Spamming, Twop, and Backstab Fishing.

Additionally if any skilled PvPers could drop handy 2v1, 3v1 tips in this thread the Gravelords would greatly appreciate it.

Some regard using the NPC's and mobs, but many regard weapons, armor, spell tactics, using the geography, finding kill zones, etc. Take a look, I'm sure you guys will find some use for what I've posted in there. I'd rather you guys just read what I've already posted than start transferring it all over here haha.
