Considering Mentoring

[Indigo Wyrd]

I'm considering mentoring at some point in time, so I'd like some of the "behind the scenes" information. Aside from answering questions - which I do all the time, what else should I be able to do?

My own first thoughts would be:

Able to make the more difficult TP runs solo.
Able to demonstrate the various skills (mining, hunting, crafting [though it's hard to show someone else how to craft]) with some certainty of success.
Able to "rescue" stranded disciples from difficult Outposts.

Does this seem reasonable?

What you have said is definatly reasonable.

Also be ready to go back to Basic basics fo the new players and having to answer the same questions for each disciple. not a bad thing though.

It also gives you a chance to go to all the places and bits in between that you never go anymore. TP running great for that.

Also be prepared to have a lot of drop outs. these are normally the ppl who do not want to or cannot deposit. and also those that think they are going to make a quick large amount of RL cash

All in all it can be fun hanging out with disciples and showing them around.

But can also be very time consuming as well.

Well I wish you good luck in your role as a mentor if you decide to take it on
