Levelling Up Strategy Part 3 - Take Part in AFK Parties

Taking part in a party where you damage the mobs and share the loots is not always possible. You could if you can form a party and agree to share the work. But when your friends or guildmates are not available, instead of grinding alone, you can join an AFK (away from keyboard) party, where you won't often be expected to do much work.

The idea is to join a party with a healer and a damage dealer, click on the Seg or DD, and leave it at that. You need only to check back from time to time to see if you died, so you can inform the Seg you can be resurrected. After resurrection, click on follow again.

If you check back and you're the only one left in the party, that only means everyone else left. Quit the party. If you're in an area where a party with a Seg often passes by, you can wait to be resurrected. Or you can respawn and come back to a spot where you can again join another AFK party. Rinse and repeat.

Often a Segnale leads an AFK party. Although a Seg can do this alone - both kill the mobs and heal the party members - it would be faster if a damage dealer helped out. The usual scenarios include a Seg and her friend (a damage dealer), or a person logged into two accounts (dual client) where one is a Seg and another is a damage dealer. Triple clients are also possible, if the player's computer graphics and Internet bandwidth can handle it.

If you play at home and spend enough idle time, you can probably join AFK parties often. The same holds true if you are allowed to play at work. If you play in Internet shops, you can probably spend an hour or two in an AFK party while you surf, update your blog, play Plants and Zombies, or keep updated on who said what about who in your FaceBook account.

The usual rules that apply are, when you join an AFK party, is that you don't pick up the items the monsters drop; and that you do nothing more than follow the lead Segnale or damage dealer. If you happen to accidentally press Spacebar and pick up an item, you are expected to drop it, or trade it with the lead members of the party. You get kicked out if you don't do this. It's customary to adhere to the rules.

Should the party members other than the Seg gets killed, although it's not expected, it's more convenient for the lead members if you help out in clearing the mobs so the dead can be brought back to life.
