Type /fellowship without a
message to see all the different Fel-
lowship commands available. Note
that some of these are only available
to the leader of the fellowship.
or is inactive. If the leader leaves
the fellowship, the game assigns
the leadership to another member,
going from the fi rst player invited
to the last. The leader may also
voluntarily resign, passing leadership
to the next player in line.
To quit a fellowship, right-click on
your portrait in your vitals display
and select the “Leave” option.
Looting. Fellowships have sev-
eral options for dividing the loot
obtained from fallen foes. (Except
money — money is always divided
evenly.) The fellowship leader sets
the looting mode by right-clicking
on his own portrait, selecting Loot
Rule
, and then a looting option.
Options include:
Round Robin (default). Each member
takes turns looting fallen foes, in
rotation. If he leaves something on
the body, no one else can pick it up.
Free for All. All available loot is there
for whichever member of the fel-
lowship cares to grab it fi rst.
Master Looter allows the leader of
the fellowship or raid to control the
loot fl ow of the entire party. The
Master Looter can look at all the
items looted and assign each one to
a party member, using a drop-down
menu. The Master Looter will then
be asked to confi rm his choice, after
which the loot goes to that player.
The chat window displays this in-
formation to everyone in the party.
Loot Quality. The leader can also
choose Loot Quality options, to
specify what loot quality cap applies
to the Loot Rule chosen. For exam-
ple, if a leader sets the Loot Quality
to Rare, all items below Rare quality
will be subject to the loot rules of
the party. Anything equal to or above
the loot threshold will be rolled for
by all members of the party.
When an item is rolled on, each
player has the option to Roll or Pass
on the item. The player with the
highest roll gets the item.
The exception to this is Master
Looter. Items below the loot type
threshold will be set to Free for All.
Looking for Fellowship (LFF).
If you want to fi nd a fellowship, but
you do not have any friends online
at the moment, you can fl ag yourself
as “Looking for Fellowship,” making
it easier for fellowships in need of
your class and level to contact you.
Use the slash command /LFF to
toggle the LFF fl ag on or off, or turn
it on/off in your Social window.
To fi nd other players who are cur-
rently looking for a fellowship in
your area, go to the Social window
where LFF players are displayed.
VOICE CHAT
Member of fellowships have access
to an in-game voice chat system. To
use it, you must have the neces-
sary equipment. Some computers
have built-in voice chat capability;
otherwise, you will need an external
microphone.
Activate voice chat
in your Options
panel. Select the
Main Menu
icon,
then Options, then
Audio
. Look for
the Voice Enabled
checkbox, and
check it to activate
voice chat. You can
use voice chat in ei-
ther Hands Free or
Push to Talk (PTT)
mode. PTT mode
is recommended. To
use PTT mode, you
need to map a key
to “Voice Push to Talk” in the Key
Mapping section of the Options
panel. Then, whenever you want to
say something to your fellowship,
press and hold that key until you are
fi nished talking. (With Hands Free
mode, you do not have to press a
key, but anything you say — in fact,
anything audible within range of
your microphone, including game
sounds — will also be broadcast to
your fellowship.)
RAIDING PARTIES
A Raiding Party is an alliance of
up to four fellowships working
together to win a pitched battle
against an exceptionally powerful
foe or force. Only the most danger-
ous of quests will require a Raiding
Party to complete.
Fellowship leaders
can form a Raiding
Party by right-click-
ing on their portrait
on their vitals
display and selecting
the Convert to
Raid
option.
Raid leaders can
then open up the
Raid Panel of the
Social Window and
move players around
by dragging their
icon from fellow-
ship to fellowship.
Also, any Raid member can view
the vitals of any of the fellowships
involved in the Raid by clicking the
Show Vital box in the upper right
of each fellowship group.
