Concerning Merry Mayhem

Note: This article assumes you are still in category one of the Merry Mayhem event.

Solo: MM [Merry Mayhem] is a great deal of fun, especially when done in a team. There are a couple of things, however, that new players should know about it. For example, people often tend to think, especially those newer to the Entropia Universe, that killing higher level mobs in always a good idea. This is not the case, if you can't handle the mob in question. If you're using an EWE EP-2 Proton (L) or Sollomate Opalo, and attempt to take down a MM mob, odds you will fail miserably. A good idea to first attempt a Kerberos Male Alpha, which can be found around the Boreas TP. If you succeed in taking that down without taking too much damage and somewhat quickly, you should be fine to try a category 1 MM mob.

Another extremely, extremely important factor is mob respawn. - The Kerberos respawn every time you've killed a certain number of them. This means, once you start emptying the area of mobs, it is vitally important that you begin backing up to near to the turrets, or else that you get mildly close to the Aranetrox (though, of course, getting close enough to make one start chasing after you is a bad idea). Note: This applies to both solo instances and team instances.

Team: The mobs will be six times more difficult when you're in a team instance. That means you need at least six people that can take down a category one Kerberos, or else that you have one or two experienced  and well equipped players with the ability to shoulder a heavier load. Also, something you should keep mind when doing MM as a team, is that it may not be the wisest idea to attempt to take down the Yulebot, a robot which spawns around the time when you've been in the instance for about forty to fifty minutes. Unless, that is, you don't have six people who can take down a category one Kerberos, but one or two heavy-loaders with good robot armor.

Also, some general courtesy when doing MM in a team: It is polite to set the team settings to the second available option, if you are the team starter. This is because it allows everyone to get loot according to the amount of damage they do. Also, when an item drops, make sure you split it evenly among the team. This means that, if the team can't wait to receive their PED, the item gets sold the Trade Terminal and the resulting PED is split evenly among the number of team members. If the team can wait, the item gets sold the Auction, and of course the PED split up evenly. Note: Before selling an item to the TT or the Auction, make sure no one from the team wants to buy it for it's daily MU.
