			\| '''Elevator Hint'''
			\|-
			\| There are two floor hexes on which to stand inside each elevator. For whatever reason, the only one that works is the front hex. If you stand on an elevator's rear hex, you may get the elevator control prompt, but choosing a level doesn't do anything. To fix this, simply hit '''ESC''' to close the elevator control prompt, and move forward 1 hex - you'll get the control prompt again and it should work. This is why party members should not crowd too closely - don't enter the elevator unless you are the designated elevator operator. If both hexes get occupied inside an elevator, the guy in the back gets stuck and cannot move, until the front hex is clear.

If your count falls below that number, grab gear piles and exit Glow to meet everyone back in the base.

			==Managing Radiation==
			When you first enter [[Glow]], you're already being radiated and you may be tempted to take a dose of [[RadAway]] immediately. One thing that works better is to wait until you get to the level 1 elevator, and ''then'' take 2 doses of [[RadAway]]. Notice they each remove 25 points of radiation. Now don't worry about radiation for a while. Watch to see when your two concurrent doses of [[RadAway]] work again (they're active for 3 cycles each), and you'll see your radiation reduced by 50 points, twice. When you get a message like this, it's more noticeable in pairs. The last one is the one you don't want to miss; it will show two 75-point reductions to your radiation level. That's when you can take 2 more doses (or wait a bit if it was less an 75 both times). Once you get practiced with this, you'll often happily report your rads are 0 and you're ready for more action.

	Enjoy the fights, and happy looting!		Enjoy the fights, and happy looting!

	~~Happy~~ looting.		==Handling Losses==
			People fail inside [[Glow]] and they lose their gear. There is always a sense of urgency to return and recover your gear as fast as you can. Your team should decide in advance how to handle combat losses. If one person dies and the rest survive, the team will want to press on, while the one guy returns. In such cases, it's best to leave his gear pile alone - he knows right where he left it, so it will be fast for him to recover it, but only if it's still there. The question is, are the robots back up yet, or can he run in without re-gearing?

			Otherwise if the whole team dies, it's best for everyone to meet back at the base, get fresh gear, and go in as a team to recover your lost gear. It's maddening to risk it, go back in naked bluesuit, and get killed again before you can reach your gear pile or teammates. Determine in advance how many people your team needs minimum to fight your way in and back out of [[Glow]]. If your count falls below that number, grab gear piles and exit Glow to meet everyone back in the base.

You've heard about loot there, and you know it's guarded by killer robots. You've been warned about the deadly [[Radiated\|radiation]] too, but your curiosity has a grip on your mind and you just '''have to''' go see it for yourself. Okay ~~then~~.		So your team wants to run its adventures into [[Glow]], one of the most dangerous [[PvE]] locations in [[The World]], that just so happens to be fully enabled as a [[PvP]] place too. You've heard about loot there, and you know it's guarded by killer robots. You've been warned about the deadly [[Radiated\|radiation]] too, but your curiosity has a grip on your mind and you just '''have to''' go see it for yourself. Okay, but bring a team. You won't get very far beyond level 1 on your own.

	Build a tent down there or a base, and share it so ~~the~~ team has a place to meet between runs. ~~This place~~ can be jammed with loot at times, and some of you will be so full you'll only be able to walk out slowly. Don't go back in alone! Meet at the base, form up again, and return as a united team. Sticking together is one of the keys to a successful [[Glow]] run.

[[Glow]] can be jammed with loot at times, and some of you will be so full you'll only be able to walk out slowly. Don't go back in alone! Meet at the base, form up again, and return as a united team. Sticking together is one of the keys to a successful [[Glow]] run, so having a place to meet is like a heartbeat in your success. Meet, repair gear, change gear, refresh your [[Drugs]], get more ammo, and form up to go in again.

	Make sure everyone has [[Drugs]], including [[Psycho]], [[Beer]], [[Nuka-Cola]], and [[Buffout]] if you use it. Plenty of [[Super Stimpak]]s are advised, but most importantly you each need [[Rad-X]] and multiple doses of [[RadAway]]. Each team member needs to understand how [[RadAway]] works too.

			Have high [[First Aid]] skill, so you're ready to heal your friends when they get badly hurt. Have high [[Doctor]] skill too, to wake them up when they get knocked out. You need all team members alive and shooting to beat the robots.

	Each of you should have [[Snakeater]] before venturing into [[Glow]]. Ideally, you also have [[Rad Resistance]], but this is optional since a lot of [[Character]]s do not have [[IN]] 7.

	The best weapon against robots is ~~the [[Pancor Jackhammer]] (but use any good shotgun)~~, ~~loaded with~~ [[12 ga. EMP Shotgun Shells\|EMP Shotgun Shells]]. EMP does not do much in a [[PvP]] fight though. Remember, this is a '''full loot drop''' location and PKs will sometimes crash your party.

	Your gear should be in superior condition to avoid incoming crit damage. Ideally each team member (or at least ''someone'' in the team) should have maximum [[Repair]] skill and a few [[Super Tool Kit]]s to help keep the team's gear in superior condition.

	Before anyone leaves the base, designate the following:		Before anyone leaves the base, designate the following:
	* an elevator operator (a tanky fighter with high [[First Aid]])		* Which one of you will be the elevator operator (a tanky fighter with high [[First Aid]])

	* ~~and~~ a ~~doorman~~		* Who will be the doorman (if this role gets confused, someone will open a door that someone else just closed)

	Everyone should tag the elevator operator. When you all group up around an elevator, stand close but not inside, and don't block it. Let your elevator operator be the one who goes in and pushes the buttons. He should call out a number too (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), of the destination level, so everyone is clear where you're going next.

	Next, agree on a route, and call out the plan before you start. Example:		Next, agree on a route, and call out the plan before you start. Example:

	"''Okay team, we're going to go to level 1 but run straight into the room with the first two lockers. Ignore the lockers though because we need to kill the level 1 robots first. Try not to trigger them until we're all in the room. Doorman, we need you to close the room's door and move aside. As the robots reach our room to attack, they will have to spend [[AP]] to open the door. Doorman closes the door as opportunity permits during combat. Once level 1 robots are down, we use 2 doses of [[RadAway]] each, and go straight to elevator wasting no time. Leave level 1 lockers behind - we will get them later. Elevator operator, we need you to step into elevator as we crowd near it, and call out '''3'''. We'll appear on level 3 and repeat the process with door and killing robots again. With level 3 robots down, we move to right rear elevator and head to level 6 the same way. Once on 6, we'll clear a path to the generator, and group up at the left rear elevator. We need our generator repairman to fix the level 6 generator and meet us. Then elevator operator steps in, and calls out '''5'''. We hit level 5 and beat robots there too. Then loot level 5! Get full as fast as you can and start walking back to elevator. Generator repairman, you need to return to 6 pronto in case we take too long - make sure we don't get stuck on level 5 or we melt into death-goo. The rest of you, once you're full of loot, return to 6 as you can, but wait on 6 at right rear elevator so the team can exit together. Robots will be back up on other levels, and we need to hit them as a team to beat them, so no rambo exits. Go stash loot once we're out, and return here to base for the next run.''"

	The above plan is about ~~hitting~~ level 5 first, which is not required - you can hit ~~them~~ in whatever order you like, but make sure there's a plan or it becomes chaos and people die.

	Once you offload loot and meet back at base, verify people are ready for a 2nd run. Radiation levels need to be low again.
