Hi all, exactly how does attacks work. what are the benefits, if I start an attack and loose do i loose points, If i win does the other person loose points? if someone attacks me and I win do I get points? Just confused as there is no means of telling if i am getting XP or not.
The win and lose 'points' are the statistics for both attacker and defender, whether you get more wins or loss into both of your statistics
If your 'points' is experience, from what I know, winning party gets experience. The attacker gets most experience by 'Leaving' the person compares to Mug/Hospitalized.
You can attack someone and leave them to gain experience and level up. At level 15 you can travel and flower run and sell them to earn money. You can track people to see when they have money and attack them, and mug them to steal money from them. And finally if you are in a faction, you can attack people to gain respect in faction wars. The respect is traded for things that help you and the faction.
I'm not sure, but I don't think losing will deduct exp (offensively or defensively), otherwise we would have heard someone got knocked down a level by constantly losing after being bountied upon multiple times or slutting a lot. I also don't remember if someone has shared about the exact amount of exp gained from winning an attack (individual or group attack), but the level difference of attacker and defender and/or what action we choose after winning the attack does make a difference, but still, the exact amount of exp is known only to the Devs so far.
