Post here tips or facts that may be helpful for the guild to know about zOMG. I'll post a few:
Facts:
-rr1 Teflon Spray does NOT overwrite a rr4 Teflon Spray. In fact, no rr4 buff can be overwritten by a rr1. It's just a display glitch on the crew panel.
-It does not matter who opens the chests down in SS. Leader or no, you get the same amount of loot. Just make sure everyone is on the same screen.
-Luck does not stack. That means rr4 Coyote + rr4 Divinity does not give you double the amount of luck. Luck still remains a little over 1%.
-Additionally, luck only makes your chances of getting a ring drop a little higher. It does not affect any other loot drops.
-Diagnose is a terrible solo heal ring. It gets more hate for you than bandage and takes out a chunk of your stamina you could be using to attack. Wish + bandage while in crews also is far better than diagnose since they have a low stamina cost and heal more.
Raging tips
-Teflon Spray and Improbability Sphere give you a lot of rage when you use it. This can be repeated so you can rage faster.
-This doesn't always work, but move your rings around, it should make your hp drop. If your hp does drop, apply bandage or diagnose and your rage rises.
Stone Coatl tips/strategy
I've been soloing Stone Coatl a lot and I find that this build works best:
Bandage
Hunter's Bow
Slash (for AOE)
Duct Tape
Rock Armor
Teflon Spray/Improbability Sphere (rr4 this last since it gives you a lot of rage to reapply over and over again)
Iron Will
Ghost/Meat
I am well-aware that divinity is nowhere to be seen, but you don't need it if you have patience. That's why there's duct tape--so you can kneel without worry in the middle of a fight.
Hunter's bow is good because of it's quick recharge, needs little stamina (remember, you don't have divinity!) and it slows down animated that are coming at you. It's also good since you can stay far away from Coatl and shoot the thing.
I personally wouldn't worry too much about the lone animated attacking you while you're on the other side of the screen, shooting at coatl (remember that you can only harm the Stone Coatl AFTER all three Masks have been dealt with). Just reapply bandage (bandage, by the way, should be your first ring--you'll use it frequently). If your hp gets low, duct tape the mofo and kneel.
As for slash, you can use it to get rid of the animated before coatl faster. However, the main reason why it should be your second attack ring is because then, when you are in front of the coatl, you can rage it and hit BOTH the coatl and the lone animated attacking you. However, it is the secondary weapon as you will be using the bow mostly.
I am well-aware that the Stone Coatl will teleport you back in front of it, so I say the best time to kneel is after you run away to the other side of the screen from it and duct tape the animated tailing you.
So basically, here is what I propose:
-Buff up within the throne room. Reapply Improb or Teflon repeatedly, but rage rank 4 them last. The reason for this is because they give you a good chunk of rage for raging other buffs.
-Be sure to keep your crew panel open the entire time so you can tell when one of your buffs have faded. If you don't have enough rage to rage them back to rank 4, use them anyway--a rr1 buff is better than NO buff.
-Once buffed, run around for a bit and then go back near the doorway and start using the bow as soon as an animated comes toward you. It delays them so you get more hits than they do.
-Apply bandage before the animated reaches you. Reapply if needed while fighting.
-Bow and slash the one animated coming at you repeatedly.
-Duct tape when you're low on stamina.
-When you reach the Stone Coatl, slash it repeatedly while up close until your HP drops around 300. Rage the slash if the animated is within range of you and the Coatl.
-Use bandage and then run away from the Coatl to the other side of the screen by the door to heal.
-Use duct tape on the pursuing animated and kneel.
-Get up as soon as the animated awakens. If your hp or stamina is still low, duct tape it again.
-Once your hp and stamina is up to a reasonable level, start using the bow to shoot at the Coatl. Reapply bandage as soon as the animated you duct taped awakens.
-When the Coatl teleports you back infront of it, slash, slash, and slash. Rage slash when the animated minion is within rage for an AOE double-whammy.
-Repeat the run, kneel, snipe, slash routine until the Coatl dies.
Does this take a long time? Yes. The fastest time I finished it was an hour.
When with crew, more buffs are better and always bring a crowd control ring like scardey cat or duct tape--it's useful for resting since even divinity can't keep up with you in there. The coatl has too much HP and there are far too many animated spawn.
Oh, and never go into the Throne Room without bandage for self-healing. It has a low-stamina cost and it heals a lot and gives you less hate than diagnose.

Ok if Tasn Dosent mind I have a few tips I learned to.
Going off the tip Tasn put, the you can switch a bandage ring around to make your health drop, then heal your self for rage; that only works if you have ghi. The more ghi you have the more your health will decrese, which is good because that means you will get rage faster. If you have little to no ghi this trick will not work well. All you have to do is go to Bartown if you can to recharge your ghi meeter.
For EB:
1. Get a full crew if possable.
2. Use buffs, dosent matter if its rr4 or not. An rr1 buff is better than nothing. Try to have as many buffs as you can with no repeats.
3. As in Otami, bandage or wish is better for healing other members of the crew than dignose.(Dignose might give 100 health in one use but it takes a long time to recharge where bandage will give about 50 or more(depending on the rr) health 4 times per use and it recharges faster.)
4. Try to use long range attacks on eb, you won't die as quickly or at maybe at all if you can stay out if its hitting range when it comes to the tail. For the second part, just attack the body, that will kill it. If you distroy an arm it really dosent do anything. For the head its the easyest part, just dodge falling mines and they arnt that hard to get away from.
5. Definatly have a coyote or fleet feet in eb, you will need the extra speed boost to run from the missles and mines. Divinity isnt a bad ring to have eather because you are going to use alot of stamana in the fight.
6. If you dont beat eb, you will come out dazed but you will still be in ss/eb area, you wont go to the null. If you want to try again and for the best chance of you making it back to eb, have 1 maybe 2 crew members stay in there and everybody else wake up in the null, then just run back to where you left the crew member(s) and defib them so you can try again.
Hope this helps and if I got anything wrong feel free to correct me lol

I don't mind. Anyone can add facts and tips here.
More facts
-Terror farming at the Old Aqueduct does not go toward your Terror kill badges. Only Tiny Terrors in Otami count toward it.
-Angel set gives you the most luck. Coyote Spirit at rr4 is second with 1.1% approx.
-You need a minimum of 3 people for EB.
-It IS possible to beat EB with just hunter's bow. It just takes a lot of patience.
-Divinity does NOT recharge stamina while you are using your rings. It only does when you're not using any rings.
Tips
-When in hive, kill lightning bugs first and bring crowd control! Scardey cat is best.
-If possible, try to separate the lightning bugs from each other so they can't heal!
-If you're low on stamina in Hive, keep one or two shockroaches alive and just keep bandaging yourself while you regain stamina standing.
-Bring 4 weapons at most to conserve stamina. Trust me, you'll be dealing a lot more damage with less weapons and more buffs. I usually recommend only 3 weapons: 1 range, 1 melee, 1 AOE. If you're going to a place where you know you won't get mobbed, just replace the AOE with a very strong melee.
-If you need to use defib while being mobbed, do NOT use it at rage 1. Use it at rage 3 or 4 so that the other person has more rings unlocked and can be of more use. After all, once you do that, the mob will be beating down on you--you do not want the person you just revived to die soon after.
-Also, before you rr3 or rr4 defib, bandage yourself--you'll need it.
-Any AOE healing also causes a lot of hate to be directed at you so the animated will aim to attack you.
-Once you have defibbed someone, waste no time to pile on the rr1 buffs on them. Remember: rr1 buffs don't overwrite rr4's, so the only person with rr1 buffs will be the recently-defibbed person. When possible, rr4 all buffs again for the entire crew.
-When you use a revive, make sure you're at the edge of the screen so that you can switch out the screen as soon as you revive. That way, you are at a lower risk of getting attacked and dazed again.

Well, lemme see if your ol' Captain can offer any help. Most of what I know is covered already, but:
Tips: As Tasn Said, for your attacks, 1 melee, 1 ranged, and 1 AoE. Also, your healing and buffs should be treated the same way. Whenever in a crew, try to have good buff coverage between you and the rest of your crew. (I THINK Improbability and Ghost can stack, correct me if I'm wrong.) To me personally, Divinity is the most important buff since we're all stuck at 100 stamina. (They need to allow you to level that up, seriously peeps.) Healing Halo is ok, but, proper healing will serve much better.

Hmmm well I guess my tips for throne won't help much.....
Though I will say that Kozmo and I both beat it with just the two of us, it will work as tasn says(though I have not tried it).
Basically one person is the bait while the other attacks the coatl. It does take really long but still works. My personal thing with this was I did it with another member of crew,luci, and two other people. Luci and I were 10 and the others were like a 9 and 8.1. I only died at the begining, but didn't die the rest of the time. Basically this still works just as well, just one person be the bait.
I guess I'll go with some tips for papa saw, in case some of you all still farm there.....
1. When you do Hard level, they say to go into the corner kind of in the top. Do it, works quite well most of the time.
2. If you do get in the corner, but get what is known as the "wall glitch", don't go in the corner, best advised to stay in the middle.
3. The "wall glitch" is a good/bad thing. It helps by glitching the saws so you can have some time to rest. It does not help with the fact you cannot move and can only use long range attacks, but depending on the long range there is a limit.
4. The rings to bring are really mass effecting rings, like fire rain, hornet nest, etc.
5. As always keep crew pane open, because you want to keep an eye on your team just in case one gets dazed, or is low on health.
6. Use buffs to insure survival. I don't believe you have to have all of the buffs, but it is still good to have them in anycase.
7. I say AVOID Sunday farming, well you don't have too, but it seems that everyone who does this lags really bad and can get kicked out of crew. Wait until they change servers.
I guess that's all for now on PS farming, though feel free to add more, just seems this is what usually happens to me most of the time, plus a few others whom I have crewed with.
One more thing I can say about the "wall glitch" is that if you are caught up in it, your going to have to leave crew and the leader has to re add you. Sorry if you miss out on gold for a bit but that is a way that you can move again.......if you want to leave that is.

Okay truthfully I haven't done SS yet but I learned some thing from Kozmo and ichi, well they've talked to me about it really. Um from what they say there is a way to speed through SS in like 10-15 minutes for each run. I believe you have to: A.Skip the first 2 chests, its a pain to go through(especially the 2nd one) B.Make sure to have someone have the Fleet Feet ring, or coyote(whichever is completely fine) to speed through the process of running all over the place. C.Lure all the animated to your next designated safe spot, and go up instead of to the right. D.Collect the 3rd(well all 3 of the chests), no point wasting that good money. E.Either lure queen or go bombard her, easy-peasy F.Just lure all animated in the next few sections and collect the rest of the chests/crates, then suicide and start all over. I think that's what ichi and kozmo told me to write, may be some mistakes but whatever. Vicious and Luci also know what to do as well to get more money in that area I think

Weight - A stat within zOMG that makes up your speed. There are many rings that add to weight, rock armor, teflon spray, turtle, my density, iron will and maybe one or two others. If you use two of these rings at full charge level you will see a visible drop in speed.
You don't think they made speed rings just so you could run away did you?
-----
Most players don't have a good ring setup. Many times I find people with more then three attack rings and its always just a mess. Or they have useless rings that don't help them or rings that don't help a crew.
A good ring line up is 3 attack rings, 1 to 2 healing rings and 3 to 4 buff rings.
