Editing Scams

{{WastelandsWarning}}
Just like in most multiplayer games, [[Scams|scammers]] exist in ''[[HighSpell]]''. Below is a list of common scams to help educate players on how to avoid them and stay safe. However, new tactics can emerge at any time—so always stay alert and use caution when dealing with other players. Only trust others with what you can afford to lose.

== Known Scams ==
Below are some of the more common [[scams]] currently seen in-game.

=== NPC Luring ===
Some players may try to earn your trust by offering free items—especially if you’re a newer player. Once trust is established, they might ask you to bring valuable or [[stackable]] items (often in [[IOU]] form) and follow them to a specific location. At that location, they'll already have [[aggressive]] [[Non-player Character|NPCs]] positioned to target you.

They usually stand in a safespot while keeping agro on multiple enemies, then log out—causing all the enemies to immediately target you. This often results in instant [[death]], especially when the enemies can hit 7–10 damage each.

=== Wastelands Scams ===
The [[Wastelands]] are a PvP-enabled area where other players can kill you and take your items. Never follow someone you don't fully trust into the Wastelands—especially if they're encouraging you to bring valuable gear, lots of [[stackable]] items, or all of your [[Coins]].

There is '''never''' a good reason to meet a stranger in the Wastelands for a trade. If you bring items under their instruction for any reason, be prepared to lose them — '''permanently'''.
