KoLmafia Guide: PvP (Beating Up People)
LESSON 12: PVP, BEATING UP PEOPLE
1) Click the Flower-looking icon in the main frame. OR, main menubar under Tools you can select Flower Hunter.
2) It pops up a new window and defaults to the Attack tab. Click the Search tab instead.
3) It automatically populates the Max Rank field intelligently. For example, with a 151 Rank, it will set a Max Rank of 112. What this means is that it will look for foes that are at the lower spectrum of what you can attack. Remember, a 151 can only attack as low as a 101, not a 100.
4) Click Search with the default options. You can see that it finds a bunch of foes between Ranks 103 and 112 for you to pick on.
5) Now click the Attack Tab. It will default to using your main stat for Fighting. It defaults to Stealing a Flower. You can pick Rank or Dignity. IMPORTANT NOTE: KoLMafia was apparently written by a bunch of PvP panzies... as such you CAN NOT SOLELY USE MAFIA for stealing people's stuff!
6) All you have to do now is select a foe, then click Attack. It will pop up a window showing the results...which you will probably have to enlarge.
There are TWO other ways to use the PvP interface for Mafia....
A) If you want to just pick flowers, you can click the Search tab, click the Flowers button. WARNING: It will automatically search for low ranked foes and fight them with all your PvP attacks! It is a quick and easy way to PvP.
B) If you want to steal stuff, simply follow the above steps to search for those of appropriately low rank. Then, pop up the normal PvP interface at your campground and fight like normal. The only downside is that you cannot cut&paste the names. Hence you must type them in yourself. It still is a lot better than only having the default list of similarly ranked foes, right? Or having to manually go looking for victims...er..opponents. :-) I recommend making your Browser window a bit smaller temporarily, then put the Mafia PvP window next to it, and expand the Name column. That way you don't have to go back and forth from Browser to Mafia.
