GIM Team Strategies

Role Splitting Guide

Divide responsibilities among team members to maximize efficiency. Each member focuses on specific skills that benefit the whole group.

Shared Storage Optimization

  • 1.
    Prioritize Shared Items - Store items that benefit multiple members: teleport jewelry, runes, potions, and food.
  • 2.
    Coordinate Deposits - Communicate before depositing large stacks. 80 slots fills up fast with poor planning.
  • 3.
    Use for Trading - Drop trades are allowed, but shared storage is safer and faster for transferring items.
  • 4.
    Keep Supplies Stocked - Designate someone to keep food, potions, and commonly needed items always available.

Communication
