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.

+LESSON 12: PVP, BEATING UP PEOPLE
+--------------------------------
-[[File:Lesson8 Hunter.png|right]]
+) Click the Flower-looking icon in the main frame. OR, main menubar under Tools you can select Flower Hunter.
-# Go to the Hunter like normal, pick a reasonable bounty that is fairly easy to do, in a zone you can access. Check your equipment, etc.
-#* Alternatively, you can click the 'Travel' from the main menubar, and click 'Visit the Hunter'. Then choose your bounty. That might be a bit quicker.
-# Go to the Mafia Frame. Make sure your custom combat script is good to go, unless you just want auto-attack or auto-spell. Change the Adventure number to 60, just to have a constraint. (A bounty takes 40 typically). Make sure you have 60 adventures left. Eat/Drink/etc to do this.
-# Look at the zone selection box. When you first select a bounty it automatically selects the appropriate zone for you.
-# Click the Checkbox under your combat script that says GOALS. It un-greys a dropdown box. If the box is greyed out, this means NO goal oriented adventuring will occur. Mafia should automatically have the right bounty items selected for you.
-# In the dropdown box for Goals, you ought to see something like '3 triffid bark' that corresponds to your bounty goal. Make sure this is selected, un-greyed, and looks right.
-#: [[File:Lesson8 GoalAdventure.png]]
-# Clear your session with the main menubar, Tools, 'Clear All Results'. I like to do this for each session of adventures.
-# Tell it to BEGIN! It will start adventuring and automatically update you on your goal progress. You will see the Goals box start dropping to '2 triffid bark' or whatever. It will also STOP ADVENTURING when its goal is done, which will likely be before the 60 turns you constrained it to. You will notice that it even turns in your bounty for you when its done! If it was unable to complete its Goal, it will inform you when it hits its constraint.
-#: [[File:Lesson8 CLI.png]]
-# Warning: Once the goals are completed, it will reset back to the '3 triffid bark' or whatever goal. Basically it looks like before you started adventuring. This is just an annoying thing Mafia does to facilitate doing multiple sets of goals. Obviously you cannot do so with Bounty Hunting (1/day), so you will just uncheck the Goals checkbox and be done.
+) It pops up a new window and defaults to the Attack tab. Click the Search tab instead.
-Bonus) The Goals-Oriented feature is really great for bounty and also questing. Normally to do the pirate quest for example, you have to remember which 3 items you are looking for, fight, loot, use, and keep up with when you get one of the 3 items, and then remember when you have them all. Instead, with KolMafia, you can simply use the pulldown menu that corresponds to that goal and tell it to go! It will go until it finds all 3 goal-items.
+) 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.
-This feature is possible because KolMafia has many built-in goals that correspond with automate-able adventure constraints. It knows that you are on the Pirate quest, at a certain part of it. Therefore, it knows that you need X,Y, and Z items to continue. Hence, it pops up as a goal. Once you have these items or are done with the quest, this goal is not an option anymore.
+) 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.
+) 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!
-BOTTOM LINE: Goal-oriented adventuring is even smarter than auto-adventuring and can be very useful.
+) 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.
