| Author | Chance to ambush real person? |
|---|
So, IIRC somebody must be walking through your route (Obviously), to have the Ambush begin, but then...
... The chance of catching him, and not getting a Caravan is 20%, or 100%?
I mean, if that guy/girl walks in your route, you automatically stalk him, or there is a chance not to get him?
I heard somewhere it was a 20% chance, or maybe I just made that up, I dont know.
Forum search tool does not give me something clear apparently.
(If we use "Logic", it should be a 100%, since I imagine my whole army (Zombies, Skeletons, Vampires...) at both sides of the main road, waiting hungry to stalk anybody who walks by, but this is a game, so whatever... :P)
Thx in advance for answers Btw. | The way I understood it:
1. After you setup your ambush on a given route, the battle starts when a player of similar level (+/-1 I think) travels on that route, regardless of direction.
2. The chance of fighting that player instead of AI is 20%. Probably it does not include thief protection from mounts, in the sense that their travel would still trigger the ambush, but it would be a guaranteed PVE. | 1.

False. You can only ambush players with same cl. | You can only ambush players with same cl.
True; but players of CL +1/-1 may trigger you a caravan. | I believe there are some method which can ambush real person accurately, since darkelf84(https://www.lordswm.com/pl_info.php?id=4572187) can ambush real people for more than 10 times in a row before he accidentally catch a caravan.
I don't know how but you may ask him. | The admins never disclosed the formula. That said, many players are known to have figured it out.
Same goes for triggering dragon attacks in Dragons Cave.
I personally don't know either. | The admins never disclosed the formula.
Even if the 20% probability (or any other) was disclosed, you wouldn't be able to observe it statistically since it only gets applied when your ambush got triggered by a player that can be ambushed (is exactly your level and doesn't have any thief protection when traveling).
Having your ambush triggered by players that are not your level will obviously reduce the overall statistic of PVP ambushes out of your total ambushes to something way lower than 20%.

The only way I can think of to maximize your PVP chances would be to ambush on a route known to be traveled by players of your level more than players of the previous and next levels. This would allow the 20% roll to happen more often. A facility producing an art needed by your level instead of the others could create such a scenario, but I am not aware of any. | To RevolutionRebel
You need to follow victim who is doing quest (Mercenaries' guild). The vitim will move after doing quest(Mercenaries' guild), then set ambush. Then you will have ~50% change to catch vitim. |
