BANKSTANDING IS POSSIBLE EVERYWHERE BUT FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE GUIDELINES TO IMPROVE YOUR EXPERIENCE.

STAY IN CHANNEL 1 AS IT HAS THE HIGHEST TRAFFIC. COLHEN HAS THE HIGHEST ACTIVITY, FOLLOWED BY MALINA THEN FINALLY ROCHESTE.

• IN FRONT OF THE INN.
  
• IN FRONT OF THE GUILD STORAGE.
  
• IN FRONT OF THE MARKETPLACE.
  
• AT AN EXPERTISE STAND. LEARN WEAPONSMITHING OR ARMOURSMITHING AS THEY HAVE HIGHER EXPOSURE THAN THE OTHER TWO.
  
• THE AREA BETWEEN THE ABOVE SPOTS. AKA THE MIDDLE OF COLHEN.
  
• IN FRONT OF THE BATTLE QUESTS BOARD.
  
• AT THE CAMPFIRE.
  
• AT THE HOT SPRINGS.

• AT THE DOCKS WHERE EVERYONE SPAWNS WHEN THEY COME FROM COLHEN OR ROCHESTE.
  
• AT THE DOCKS WHERE EVERYONE SPAWNS AFTER COMPLETING A BATTLE QUEST.
  
• IN FRONT OF THE MARKETPLACE.
  
• IN FRONT OF THE BATTLE QUESTS BOARD.
  
• AT THE CAMPFIRE.

• IN FRONT OF THE MAGICIAN'S GUILD.
  
• IN FRONT OF THE BATTLE QUESTS BOARD.
  
• AT THE HOT SPRINGS.

IF YOU'RE A BEGINNER, START AT COLHEN.

1. WHEN YOU LOG IN, WALK AROUND A BIT TO GET SOME ATTENTION. MAYBE CHECK THE MARKETPLACE OR SEE WHAT'S NEW IN YOUR MAIL/GUILD STORAGE BUT DON'T RUN LAPS LIKE USAIN BOLT. REMEMBER, JUST WALK AROUND A BIT, ALMOST AS THOUGH YOU ARE INDECISIVE. YOU WANT ATTENTION BUT DON'T MAKE IT BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT YOU DO.
2. STAND AT ANY OF THE LOCATIONS MENTIONED WITH YOUR BEST GEAR. STANDING IS OK BUT SITTING OR USING A F5-11 EMOTE THAT LOOPS IS RECOMMENDED. BONUS POINTS IF YOU SIT OR LEAN ON A BENCH/POLE ETC.
3. ACT COOL AND ONLY TALK TO COOL PEOPLE, AKA OTHER BANKSTANDERS. IGNORE ANYONE THAT IS ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME OR ASKING FOR HELP. IF YOU MUST HELP, DO SO WITH USELESS RESPONSES. EXAMPLE:

NOOB 1: HOW DO I CRAFT MINE BOMBS?
YOU: GOOGLE IT.

NOOB 2: HOW MANY FLINCHES ARE NEEDED FOR HAVAN'S BREAK-OFF?
YOU: LOL, I CAN SOLO HAVAN IN 5 MINUTES.

4. TALK ABOUT STUPID THINGS SUCH AS HOW PLAYER X IS NOT A REAL HURK BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE A +15 WEAPON AND RARELY DAMAGE POTS.

5. TO PASS THE TIME, YOU CAN TRY FLIPPING ITEMS ON THE MARKETPLACE, SPAMMING MEGAPHONES OR SCAMMING NOOBS. EXAMPLE:

Originally posted by A TYPICAL DAY IN VINDICTUS:

YOU: DOUBLING MONEY!
NOOB 3: I'LL LIKE TO DOUBLE MY MONEY!
YOU: OK, SEND ME 100M AND I'LL SEND YOU 200M BACK.
NOOB 3: OK.

IF A GM LOGS IN WHILE YOU'RE SCAMMING, TELL HIM TO ♥♥♥♥ OFF TO AVOID SUSPICION.

ONCE YOU HAVE MASTERED THE BASICS OF BANKSTANDING, YOU CAN TRY THESE:

• HAVING RARE PETS OUT. AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT HUNGRY ENOUGH TO EAT SEWAGE IT'S FINE. IF THEY ARE, FEED THEM OR YOU'LL LOOK BAD.
  
• PROFICIENT CRAFTING STUFF IN A BANKSTANDING LOCATION, AKA HAMMERING SOMEONE'S HEAD INTO THE GROUND.
  
• BOXING ITEMS.

ALWAYS HAVE FULLY REPAIRED GEAR OR YOU'LL LOOK BAD.

DON'T TAKE THIS "GUIDE" TOO SERIOUSLY. REGARDLESS, GIVE THIS A THUMBS UP IF YOU FOUND IT USEFUL.
