FAECRABS
The ocean has harvestable areas created by the DM These areas are
announced on the CE channel when they appear and when they dissipate. They
appear as magenta-colored ocean in large splotch shapes similiar to the
CATASTROPHES you see on land.
Fae crabs are killed to collect Fae magic, which is a big part of Medievia
V clanrank (see help CLANRATING When any MF is killed on or near a ship,
the Fae magic is collected on the ship and brought back to dock to be
counted towards clanrank. Fae crabs are some of the very best Fae
available on the ocean; in other words, you collect a lot of Fae per
minute spent harvesting, compared to many other ocean adventures. These
harvest areas usually appear on PK ocean water but can on occasion appear
near land and in lawful water.
When ships move across these harvest areas Fae crabs will climb aboard.
The farther towards the center of the harvest area the ship is piloted,
the more crabs will climb on board. Typically steering a ship right through
the center will get all players killed and the ship destroyed. Experienced
ship captains weave in and out of the edges so Fae crabs can be handled
before they can cause too much damage.
The Fae crabs work as a whole when on a ship and run from one section of
the ship to another very quickly.
- When 2+ crabs are in a rigging room, they will damage the ship.
- When 4+ crabs are in a deck room, they will damage the ship.
- When 8+ crabs are in a hold room, they will damage the ship.
As you can see you must protect your rigging at all costs. It is generally
safe to have some crabs go below as they will not harm a hold room unless
eight or more are in one. It is said the more experienced captains know when
to close the hatch to below decks to trap some crabs there while dealing
with crabs on other areas of the ship.
The harvest area will disappear generally when around five hundred crabs
have been killed. The harvest area shrinks as crabs are harvested.
How much fae the crabs are worth is reported on the CE channel by the DM
every hour or so. If a lot of people are crabbing they may be worth as
little as 800 fae. If no one has crabbed in days they may be worth as much
as 5000 per crab.
The crabs for some unknown reason behave differently in different weather.
They head for the ship's rigging when in a lightning storm. They take
damage in firestorms and magic storms, so during those they try to head
below decks. They are much stronger when the ship is in a "STORM FROM AFAR"
