Questions & Answers
Q: Is it the killshot that counts for the points or does the person with morst dmg and thus the loot get the points?
A: It is the one that performs the loot action that gets the point. For individuals, it is the one that makes the most damage and then clicks to loot. For teams, it is the one that clicks to loot.
Q: If it's only the Hit level that counts, can my Dmg level be higher than the limits for my category?
A: Yes. Hit skill level counts for category, Damage skill level does not.
Q: Am I right to understand that there is no cap on the max amount of hours per day this year?
A: Correct. However, please play sensibly. Creatures on Calypso never rests, but you should.
Q: Can I chip out to lower myself to a lower category, for instance from 70+ down to 69 to play in category 3?
A: It is allowed to do that.
