The big thing I'd suggest is getting range up and strength up. You'll need both to effectively inflict damage without getting stomped on by maxed pures or maxed meds. Somethings to look out for are learning people's names (usually add to ignore list) of those that are baits. Which is another thing, if someone is fighting you and acting like you're beating him yet he's just chugging down on brews not fighting back, he could be a bait to make you lose pots and eventually tb you with a team for a chance of smiting you. Luckily it sounds like you're pking with a friend so you can get a box from him. Be ready to lose money, don't be toxic and sometimes ask other pkers for advice (9/10 they'll usually help you). Always keep prot item on if you're skulled and just hopping worlds, can't tell you how many times i almost lost an ags because I didn't have prot item on and someone attacked me instantly. Practice on tourney worlds, or go to w2 clan wars portal for risk free fights. Don't waste your money on rune pouches unless you're confident you'll only go down if a team logs on you (or else you're just burning money for 2 less invent spots). Most importantly man, just enjoy it. Pking deep wildy is one of the funnest things I've ever experienced in a video game.
