Group Convoys are a good way to get Group Contribution points.
Here is what you do:
- First, it requires two people in the same group
- Second, recieve your scroll from the merchant, there are two different scrolls (Sky & Earth)
- Third, Team up with one other group that has the opposite scroll
- Fourth, Run the convoy, you may have to face other people

Is the convoy a routine event?

When you group will Win the Guild Wars, you will get a fancy Merchant. On Chinese server they have solo Convoys, and you're running on the normal game map, not just an animation.

I don't remember exactly what it was, but I thought I remembered hearing somewhere that if you waited two minutes before leaving group headquarters you could avoid plunderers?

Also, if you refreshed as you were getting plundered (or the battle was loading and you have slow internet), would you lose anything? I know that you would keep the mission, but would it count as an automatic loss if the battle never even begins?

It would be dishonorable to do such a thing, but... if no one accepts your support application, and you're dirt poor, and then someone many levels higher than you attacked, would it be that bad to want to keep your money?

I was plundered by someone about 13 levels higher than me (and double my power level) but his internet was crap so I kept winning by default... and then I was not afk and booked it...

I can't answer your first question since I never do convoy. A friend told me tho that if you leave at the last minute before convoy time ends you can avoid plunderers and continue the mission as long as you have claimed it already.

If you refresh while plunder is ongoing you would lose the rewards naturally as if you retreated from battle. I think the same is true if the battle is still loading and you have slow connection, cause I sometimes lose my plunder rewards because of that :curse:

Nothing is bad with wanting to keep your money. If your group mates refuse to support you then maybe you should consider changing groups ;P

The plunder level gap is 15. Meaning if the plunderer is 15 levels above you he cannot see you on his plunder list and consequently cannot plunder you.

I used to think that first plothole was legit and kept doing it for a few runs until yesterday, plunderers were all standing by around Konoha Forest to catch last-minute runners; me being one of them :'( I made sure to set off after the server clock went past 9pm but they still caught me.

Plunderers can get you at any time regardless. All the way till 2.30pm or 9.30pm. The plunder window the open all the time, of course if you click it, there will be nothing outside the convoy window, but as long as you run it, plunderers can see it.

Yeah, I stood corrected after yesterday. Thanks for the confirmation.

You're most likely better off to do your ss early and get a strong support before he runs out of support attempts - if you have someone like that.

Otherwise, going off 20 minutes after plunder convoy ended probably works too, since most people don't pay attention to their screen by then. ;P

I think that first one is only because when you go late it's more likely that plunderers have already completed all of their missions. I guess if you wanted to avoid them you could go in the middle of the day, when people are out at their jobs or at school... but the same would also be true for you...

Haha, it's not that my group members refuse to support me- It's that there are none, haha! Well, not exactly true, but apparently 4 months ago they decided to disband the group or something since so many people never logged on anymore. The group still exists, and all those people who never log on are still in it. I joined 3 months ago, not knowing any of this went down, and thinking I'd be barred from the stronger groups, joined the weakest of the strong- my current group.

I like to call it a 'coral reef' group, but it really does feel like home so I'm working to get group skills level 7. I'm getting weaker for my level everyday, but at the same time... I can't just abandon it. Pretty much the only one who donates though...

Ahhh .. I had the same experience in my previous group. You can keep up with that if you like since not all finds contentment on being competitive alone. However, if you are the competitive type then maybe you should consider changing groups after awhile. There is only so much you can do for a group with only you alone working for it. Anyways, good luck.

Yeah pretty much patching a sinking ship trying to prop up a dead group, since you cant even register for GNW or get packs. At least join an active smaller group if you're able to, and TBH even the "strong" groups have slots for active players that are willing to learn/contribute, as long as you have the right attitude. Not every strong group is elitist haha.

With regards to plunders, without support just run your SS during events (save your 2 refreshes for this window), particularly sage and 9 tails events where you missing a min wont make a difference to your score. GNW is a good time too but a strong group might get a walkover or quick whitewash making this riskier.

We just got enough points to make it into GNW; It's nice that you get stuff just for participation :)

It's true that some of the larger groups are accepting of weaker players, in fact I got an offer to join the third strongest group. Was seriously considering it, but... I dunno. I wanted to * by my group (Also I got promoted to senior. Not that there are any special benefits that I know of, but it's kinda nice.)

I've only actually gotten plundered twice. Still not strong enough to be considered a prime target.

Thank you for the advice.
