    Safety lock prevents you from dropping any items.
    Advantages
    -if you get killed while infamous or white named you will only loose experience.

    Disadvantages
    -cannot trade with npc's/players (this includes trading, setting up a catshop, or buying from a catshop). Note: you can buy things from npc's.
    -once you adjust the duration of the lock, you cannot change it for 3 days.
    -cannot access mail
    -cannot use auction house
    -since you cannot sell items, you will most likely end up with a full inventory so eventually you wont be able to pick up items

    I don't know if you are allowed to purchase things from the boutique, as I'm not a gold charger, but I wouldn't be surprised if you could b:shutup

    actually since youre on sanctuary, dont pk until 80+, at the current level, youll be ganked by regi and there probably arent anyone around that you can kill..
    if you level, youll still be ganked by regi, so yeah. b:surrender

    In addition to that experience thing (your characters never lose experience when they are killed by another player character), you can have your gear shattered if you PvP with safety lock on (and you drop chi stones when your gear shatters, which might be mirage celestones if you have really good gear). You will need to replace those chi stones (and a wee bit extra) before your shattered gear can be used again.

    That is normal. They have no reason to give it back other than that myth about nice people.

    In Harshlands, don't even think about PKing until at least level 60 at the minimum. Oh and around level 50 is where the PKing happens less, so you won't be PKed each time you play unless your a QQer lol.

    If your going to PK, do either Guardian Scrolls or just Safety Lock. Guardian Scrolls are nice if you plan to sell everything right afterwords, but its not nice since then you have to spend lots of money into buying a ton of them.

    Safety Lock is really neat and lots of people like it since its a free way to not lose anything. But the negative part is where you can't trade or anything so you have to wait it out afterwords b:surrender


    b:chuckle Well I hope that helped!

    You lose celestones and other chi stones from safety lock.

    And then, when I try picking them up, my squad mate gets them.

    b:sad

    >.>... Whoa serious? Only used Safety Lock once this summer since I wondered what it was lol... >.<

    Never knew that, thanks for the info! b:cute
