I have just came back to the game after 2 years and I consider myself to be an econ player. I mostly gather, refine, craft, and play faction warefare.

Last night a guildmate ask if anyone could help him transport in the blackzone to our hideout. He is fairly new to the game and started 3 months ago. I haven't been to to the hideout in 2 years and I decided to tag along. I just bought some t5 set from the market real quick to be a scout for him. When we went there he asked if I wanted to gather with him. He had a 4.2 set.

As we were roaming a t8 zone we spotted someone skinning a mammoth. My guildmate is new and didnt checked his ip before dismounting. He wanted to gank the skinner. I didn't want him to fight by himself and I was in a cheap set so I went with him. The skinner killed my guildmate during the fight. The skinner and I was down to our last sliver of health but I manage to hit him and use my skill on him first killing him. When I went back to the kill stat I was surprised the skinner was 1600 ip and I was 1000 ip! My guildmate and I spent the rest of our time gathering and ganking. We had a few more successful kills and found some t8 enchanted nodes. We also made it back to the royal city with everything. We made about 8 mill and split most of it.

Ganking got my adrenaline going. Now I see why people do it and the loot was awesome. I just wanted to share my first time ganking in the black zone.
