World of Firepower (WoF) is an international hunting competition that began in 2007 at the hands of its creator Oscar “Hurrikane” SkyQuake from the Gloryhound Irregulars society. This hunting tournament invites players to represent their countries in a battle to the finish. The competition takes place in Stages, with a special Mob List for each Stage. WoF 2012 is underway, and we will be reporting the updates after each engagement to highlight the standings. The Stage 1, Qualifying Match A round was held on August 25th and 26th, with a mob list that Hurrikane termed to be the dogs, the bugs, and the ugly. He was referring to the following: WoF 2012 Stage 1 Mob List MAIN TEAM Formicacida (Soldier and above): 10 points Rextelum (any maturity): 9 points Phasm (Mature and above): 8 points Formicacida (Watcher and below): 7 points Estophyl (any maturity): 6 points Phasm (Young): 5 points SUPPORT TEAM Shinkiba (any maturity): 4 points Frescoquda (any maturity): 3 points Atrax (any maturity): 2 points Prancer (any maturity): 1 point BONUS Nexnecis (any maturity): 25 points With each Stage, there are also Sponsors who own land areas that offer mobs on the list for that particular Stage of the WoF tournament. It is encouraged to hunt on these land areas because it helps to build the prize fund, even though players are free to hunt at their locations of choice. Fifteen (15) teams participated in the Stage 1, Qualifier A round which took place on August 25th and 26th. It was quite a respectable showing, and Team WoF Australia walked away with the highest single loot of 37K on a Rextelum.
