Party Tips
=Party Tips=
 
Decide how you are going to divide up the loot. There are a few popular ways to do this:
 *Players unofficially rotate between items, "you got something last time, now it's my turn." *The Group leader or Master Looter decides which player gets which item. *The least structured method, but unfortunately most popular, is Free-For-All. Whichever player can click on the items the fastest will get those items, if they have room in their backpack. When loot is FFA, often monsters come second as party members race to grab the good loot. Keep in mind that Gold is split so let greedy party members grab up all the gold they want! . One thing to watch out for in FFA looting are players who will let other players in the party finish off a monster while they stand there doing nothing waiting for the item to drop. This is not recommended.
Share items among classes that can best use them. You may find a Magic Staff that is worth money to the vendors but do the right thing and let the Sorceress have the Staff if she needs it. Don't be a jerk, if a Sorceress helps you kill a monster, and a Sorceress item drops, let the Sorceress pick it up!
This player will be the one who leads the group throughout areas and dungeons. This player will open doors, and sometimes "pull" monsters back to the party to attack. Barbarians, Amazons with Melee Weapons, Assassins, Melee Druids, and Paladins are good at this job.
An alternative method to a group leader is the "wandering pack", which wanders off into an area and comes back together after running into trouble. "Hey I brought some friends for you!" This can also work and may or may not be as successful as having a group leader. This is the most popular but least effective method.
